Psst, kanicbird is who everyone is irritated with. You responded to kaylasdad99 who is a different person and a nice one at that.
flight, here is a link to an article that supports what you remember. I was told of one much longer ago than 2006, and I’ll also try to find that one.
Horseshit indeed. You need to follow the thread more closely next time.
I have. And I’ve read his nonsensical rantings in Great Debates. He’s completely deluded. He has no grasp of reality and he has no business giving anyone medical advice. Or any advice at all for that matter.
Oh.
Sorry** Kaylasdad99** … it’s that fucking “K” that threw me off.
Cured dramatically in about 1 second in my 30’s while praying? No sorry your worldly explanations fall way short.
To the OP, allow me to fast forward your story, so you get a glimpse of what’s coming.
My BIL, was first diagnosed with HBP a few years ago. Nothing tragic, it runs in the family. A little pill a day and some common sense eating has taken care of that for everybody else.
He chose not to treat it. HBP led to kidney failure. Daily dialysis led to unemployment. A sedentary life led to overweight. Overweight and dialysis led to blood and bone infection. Bone infection led to hip removal. Hip removal led to wheelchair. Wheelchair has now led to him being 450 lbs of useless shit that my FIL has to lug around when he should be enjoying retirement.
It is time for you to start praying. Pray for that motherfucker to die before his misery kills someone you do care about.
I hope mine does, I really do. That way we could all enjoy some time with my FIL.
Alas, every year the shitbag does threaten to die. Always around Christmas to fuck everyone’s festivities. Fucker can’t die in May like decent people.
He also pontificates a lot trying to impose his churchy views on everyone. I always tell him to fuck off and save himself before he can save me.
Ugh.
God damn you’re stupid.
e: not you, Sapo
Hokay. Let’s start by process of elimination. Given that you already said
we can rule out that third one as inconsistent with your stated position. Any further information on whittling the last two finalists down to one winner?
If you’re referring to me, I’d say it’s a fair cop in this thread.
But I still think **kanicbird **is a fucking dope.
Quotes, my friend, quotes.
Haha. Dammit!
No, I meant kanicbird.
Sorry for the confusion.
I see. It’s blame the victim bullshit. A person is sick because they aren’t pure of heart, or haven’t met God’s standards, or some such. In any case, it’s the victim’s fault because they aren’t good enough to be given healing.
Personally, I think that’s a load of crap. It’s a corrosive belief system that just further burdens the suffering. And it lead to people abandoning real medical treatments and dying of what are manageable and controllable conditions. What a heartless, evil attitude. You disgust me.
Wait… re-reading.
Withdrawn. Wooshed.
But kanicbird is a fucknugget.
Your anonymous anecdotal evidence has convinced me!
That’s mostly but not entirely true. Since the companies make their money by selling you the strips, they’ll throw in a meter given any reasonable excuse. But if you don’t have insurance and need to pay for the strips, it can be cheaper to buy the store brand meters at Walgreens or Walmart (not available free) and pay $40-$60 every month for strips.
My brother-in-law has gone to the doctor, by the way; his daughter convinced him. Even God was less powerful than a crying 14-year-old girl.
Oh, definitely Big Pharma. God is handicapped by not existing.
If you change the contestants to Big Pharma and the believers in Big God, however…
Yeah, that was more what I had in mind.
Well, thank God for that, at least. I hope he starts taking care of himself.
Excellent news.
To add on to some of the other discussions, my local pharmacy gave my husband a free meter because Medicare doesn’t pay the full cost of the expensive strips, so they make a little bit if he buys their strips but they lose money if he sticks with his Freestyle.
There are new meters you can get that do a continuous reading around the wrist. We haven’t looked at them in at least a year, when they were extremely expensive, but I wonder if the price has possibly come down.
And I can’t remember what else I was intending to say. Grr. I’ve been doing that a lot lately.
