Dachau was one of the hardest but most important places I've ever visited.

When I see people making light on social media or "influencers" posting about it... blood boils. I took one picture of the entrance and after that I couldn't bring myself to take more. We can't take that lightly.

I love it when I do things like open a chat window, e-mail, whatever and start writing something and get distracted.

Empty e-mail with just "I bought the" in the body.

What did I buy? Who was I telling about it?

@MrGoat

Someone get your goat?

@Flyingdutchman696 I mean, are you really a Kennedy if you don't have some sort of sex scandal? 😂

@AskTheDevil 💯

@AskTheDevil Yeah, I have a family friend that was diagnosed with type 1 when she was in middle school. Rough disease.

Agreed, I'm sure by not paying that claim for another 48 hours they'll have saved significant dollars towards their bottom line. /s

@AskTheDevil sooooo... that's not like an "optional" one.

I do have a condition where, if untreated over time it will increase my chances of getting certain types of cancers (yay!) so I do NOT mess with that. Even if I could probably go a few days without. But nothing where like "yeah, missing a dose and not being on top of my blood sugar and it's ER time".

@SaltyVeruca the worst one was my great allergy medicine trial. I have seasonal allergies (pollen) like many people. The ONLY thing that has sure fire given me relief was Nasonex (Mometasone) back when it was still not available generic. Insurance decided they didn't like paying that so for 3-4 months I tried a new generic drug every two weeks. Finally they gave up and approved the Nasonex again.

At one point I had like 12 inhalers in my bathroom drawer.

@AskTheDevil which superpower do you want?

@SaltyVeruca honestly I've never had an issue before when I get a new med or changed med. Likewise this was telehealth so I couldn't get a physical script (which aren't being accepted in my state anyway anymore).

Luckily this isn't a med that if I don't take for a day or two, I'll be at significant risk (there are others where I'd still be on the phone) but still. I've not experienced this level of insurance bullshittery in years.

@JoyfullyDazed WHY IS IT ON WHAT LOOKS TO BE THEIR HAND?!?!?

@SaltyVeruca that's the weird part, they did! The insurance company even confirmed "Yes, we see the change in dosage."

Make it make sense. 🙄

Me: But... but 6 is more than 4 so I'm consuming it faster (I always was good at math).
Pharmacy: You can try calling Insurance.
~Calls big mega insurance provider, 45 minutes later~
Me: So you understand that the dosage is up.
Ins: Yes.
Me: So I need more.
Ins: Not approved until the 4th.
Me: That's two days away so can we....?
Ins: No.

I've decided that the patron saint of insurance companies is Satan. A thread.

Doctor: I'd like you to up that dose from 4 pills to 6 pills. I'll have the pharmacy update the dosage.
Me: Yes sir. ~Immediately starts taking 6x/day of what I have left~
~Days later, pill bottle... almost empty~
Me: Pharmacy, can you please refill my medication?
~Day passes~
Pharmacy: Insurance declined it because you last filled it on 6/4 so you can't again until 7/4.

@phase2 running out of coffee is an emergency that nearly takes precedence over all others.

@th3j35t3r ahem... it is most equivocally NOT counter.social.

The first thing Biden should do in this is to say "I reject that the president is above the law and will not use this defense for any of my actions."
