Happy Sunday!
It’s cold outside.
We didn’t go to the park this morning. I’m not feeling well.
It may be time to see the doctor.
Then again, maybe not.
I get annoyed with doctors.
I got some test results back yesterday and they are negative.
Funny that the last time they were positive, but that was when I was seeing the doctor who wanted to see me every six weeks. She ordered all kinds of additional testing, but that was at the height of covid and I put the additional testing off. I never got test results from the lab that time, so who knows if she was telling the truth. She had put stuff in my records that weren’t true, and I told her so. She never took the false info out, so now every time I see a new doctor they say, oh, I see you have had such and such done. No, I haven’t, and I sure don’t appreciate the bullshit info in my records.
But anyway, negative results are a plus, and I don’t have to go through anymore bullshit.
I got a text from a collection agency. I figured it was bullshit but I called the number just in case.
As soon as the call picked up, I was told I owe $444.40. No mentioning my name, no indication of what it was for. Just 'our records show that you owe $444.40, how would you like to pay?
Uh huh
So, I called a different number to get a person.
He wanted to know who I am and I said you called me, so you should know who I am. He said no, he didn’t call and I said you texted. No way was I giving him my name. I did give him my number and he gave me a very butchered version of my mother’s name.
I said nope, wrong number. I wasn’t about to admit I’m her daughter, nor was I telling them that she is dead.
My mother never carried debt. She used one credit card to pay for everything, and at the beginning of the month she paid the card off. I find it very hard to believe she owes anybody anything. Also, when she died, her death notice was posted in the paper for six months and any creditors had six months to make their claims. If any of them missed the window, it is not my problem, and I doubt the estate is obligated to pay. There has to be a cutoff point sometime.
I’m not going to make it easy for them.
The collection agency is legit, however, they, like most other collection agencies, have pages and pages of complaints and have been charged with fraud multiple times.
Thank you all for your thoughts and well wishes for Ripple.
I feel so much better knowing the Palladia is working.
Ripple has gotten cuddly, which is different.
It used to be if I pet him when he was sleeping on the bed, I’d get a dirty look and he’d go sleep on the floor. Now he inches closer and wants me to pet him until he falls asleep.
There was a GSD that used to come to the park, he was a bit too much for his owner. I think he belonged to another family member and she took him in because they couldn’t handle him. He’s at the animal shelter now. I hope he finds a good home soon; he was a nice dog but still a puppy and a bit wild. I can’t take him, even if I didn’t already have Cerby, he would be too much dog for me.
The last thing I need is another working breed. I’m way too tired to deal with that.
Cerby is more my son’s dog now. He listens to my son and prefers to hang out with him.
My poor son doesn’t want any animals, but Adam and Cerby claim him.
I hope you get some new furry friends soon Doggio.
Good to see you again Shoe
I still have 3 uncles on my mother’s side. One is widowed, one is divorced, and one is married, so I guess that gives me one aunt. I still have two great aunts on my mother’s side, one still married, so an uncle too. The widow of one of my great uncles is still alive, I think she is going to be 98 or 99 this year. She is my cousin too.
Aunt because she married my grandmother’s brother, cousin because she is my grandfather’s first cousin.
I have a lot of double relatives on my mother’s side. No incest, two large families in a small town, there are bound to be several marriages between the two.
Like my mother said, she had to leave WV to keep from marrying a relative. She had 44 first cousins just on her mother’s side.
Two of my father’s sisters are still alive, both widowed, and one brother and his wife. One of my aunts is in very bad health, she’s in her 90s. I try to talk with her once a week.
I’m sorry the job was a scam Nettie
Congrats on new job BooFae
Honestly, I can’t imagine living with anybody. I love my son to death, and even he gets on my nerves sometimes. I know I get on his too.
I’m so used to doing what I want whenever I want, I eat when I want, I sleep when I want, I can take a 3-hour bath when I want. I don’t have to share the remote, or my blanket, or cook or clean or do laundry for anyone else.
Ripple and Echo stare at me the whole time I’m eating. They are spoiled, they know they will get something. I think Cerby would too except Echo would chase him away.
My parents used to watch my nieces almost every weekend. They enjoyed it, but my sister expected it all the time. If they had somewhere to go, she’d hound me to watch them. That led to a lot of fighting between us as she’d lie about where she was going, or when she’d be back. One time when I was sick and staying home, she asked me to watch her girls for an hour while she did something. I found out she was at the bar, hanging out and drinking with my BF. She was pissed as shit when I showed up at the bar, handed her her kids, and went back home. She had to find a way home as she couldn’t drive, but she sure as hell wasn’t going to party with my BF while I sat home with her kids.
I know I am missing a bunch of stuff I wanted to reply too
I’m just too far behind
