Canada	The Vent	QUOTE (autumnchik @ Mar 4 2009, 10:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just learned that my husband posted pictures on Flickr .... of me giving birth!!! He is SOOOO lucky he is in Canada and I am in NH. Grrrr! He swears no one has seen them, but I am skeptical, because the purpose for the Flickr posting was so he could share photos of our family with his family in Canada. I'm sure he linked them to the site. This thread is useless without pics!! lol I'm sure it was a mistake, maybe his mind was busy thinking about the bachelor party! Time to start planning your revenge!!	Flames9_RN	Male	Canada	2009-03-05 04:06:00

I think given our town there is very limited possibility anyone would look at it.. we live in a "nice" part of town, the landlord has a PHD and there are really no safety issues.. i can't find anything anywhere in state regulations that would be our "out".. What does a PhD have to do with anything? If you say you have mold, you may have a issue! Certain types of mold can cause series types of health issues,PHD or no PHD! Al one can do is make the phone call. Just saying,lol	Flames9_RN	Male	Canada	2009-03-04 19:35:00

Canada	The Vent	Make sure u get the $$$ in $1 bills!	Flames9_RN	Male	Canada	2009-03-04 16:49:00
Canada	The Vent	U can also search the drugs side effects online, tel lyou right away if it is an expected side effect or not. Or you can call his Dr's office and tell them! Most likey you wil just talk to the secretary, who wil pass on the info! take all of 2 minutes out of ones time.	Flames9_RN	Male	Canada	2009-03-04 10:17:00
Canada	The Vent	Depends on your insurance as well, but you can ask for your regular DR to refer you to a specialist. And if one is having probs with your medications, best to inform the Dr soonest, a simple phone call into the office may be all that is required, and he can say, ya that is a side effect, or thats bad, or take them at night before sleep, etc etc!! Start with a phone call into his office and explain the side effects.	Flames9_RN	Male	Canada	2009-03-04 06:10:00

Canada	The Vent	Yes they should tell you about the drug, no excuse in not doing that. Some insurance companies will only pay for a generic, if a generic is available. We have Federal Blue cross and they are really pushing the generic meds. We have a choice, but if you want the generic, ur deductible is a lot less. But no matter what, they should ask you questions about the meds! As well your Dr. should be going over them as well.	Flames9_RN	Male	Canada	2009-01-23 15:14:00

Canada	The Vent	Our neighbors upstairs can be a bit noisey. They have a kid, probably 2 years of age and at times he just runs and runs and jumps and jumps! Have pounded on our ceilin g4 times over the past year. have talked to both of the parents twice--very politely and understanding that a kid is a kid! back in early december, the noise had gone on for over an hour, and I'm trying to write a paper, so my wife goes and knocks on their door, to just give them a friendly reminder about the noise! The lady (with door closed) asks who it is, my wife states your downstairs neighbor. lady immediately swings open the door and starts yelling and yelling at my wife, holy #######!! Im in the condo, and at first I though she was laughing, but nope, high pitched screaming and screaming!! Then her husband came tot he door and said his wife was under a lot of stress, no #######,lol! For the rest of the day she stomped around! Just weird, have been nothing but nice to these people,past winters have shoveled out their cars, wiped off the snow off their cars. Some people!	Flames9_RN	Male	Canada	2009-01-14 09:26:00
Canada	The Vent	QUOTE (trailmix @ Jan 14 2009, 09:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wonder if there is anyway you can wiggle out of your lease em? This reminded me of some neighbours I had once in Calgary. It was an apartment building and they were a couple that lived next door. Well one evening the party got a bit out of hand (they used to argue all the time) - pretty soon there was glass breaking and screaming and yelling etc. So I call the police, but they are already aware of it. Anyway, they tell me that the guy says he has a gun or rifle, whatever and we are supposed to stay on the floor , so we do and then - because we had a back and front entrance door (unusual for an apt, but handy!) the police had us sneak out the back door I think it was and we ended up sitting in a little room in the police station down the road. I think they found that he didn't have a gun, but anyway, at least he was put away somewhere for a few weeks. May want to check into your states rental laws and see what your rights are!!

I shouldn't have added that last part to my post. It was one of those few moments where I had come completely unglued. Several years ago, I was in a similar situation..... no health insurance, a mountain of bills, and to top it off, a ruptured eardrum. I was lucky that I was assigned to this doctor at the emergency room. He initially prescribed me a litany of medications. After telling him that I could not afford all of them, he gave me a bit of advise. First he told me (as Flames advised) to always ask for the generic version, and he told me you can always ask the doctor if they have any sample packages. I got a bag full of sample packages and was very grateful for it. The medication I got was the generic; I insisted on it. The $50 was the office visit fee. I know they canbe hard to find, but have you been able to locate any free clinics? My Nursing program offers a free clinical, staffed by student nurses and fully qualified Nurse Practitioners. Ya , u get bombarded with questions,lol, but its free!! Check out your local universities to see if they have a Nursing or physicians program and if they offer a free, or reduced fee clinical. Or play around with Google, and see if you can locate a clinic that way! They tend to not be very well advertised, so it can take some poking around. What city do you reside in. I could email one of my instructors and see if she knows of any in your area. No, you were not incorrect in stating 1800-suicide sucks,lol There are some crappy counselors! I'm sure they mean well, but just can't communicate that well. If they are not helping, let them know, and more than likely they can get some one else, or call another service!! Or PM me, i may not have anything wise, but sometimes, just writing stuff down helps! Some suggest to write things down, and throw it in the garbage, keeping stuff bottled up may not help.

Canada	The Vent	QUOTE (Necrotica @ Jan 6 2009, 10:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've had bronchitis for the past week (starting the day before New Years Eve) and had to go to Urgent Care on New Years Day for a prescription and pay $50 since I'm uninsured, I've been out of work for 2 weeks due to lack of work and unemployment is jacking me around so I'll probably end up getting denied for that, then, after finally getting work yesterday, my phone line goes down, I miss a couple of calls, and end up losing my $50 bonus for the month, and Réjean and I still can't find his wallet. I just got off the phone with USCIS customer service, and they say the only way that he can get the I-551 stamp in his passport is if he proves that he filed for a replacement green card, which is $390, which we don't have. Meanwhile, Réjean is driving with no license because the DMV requires him to show his green card or the stamp to prove he is legally here. I can't handle this. I'm so sick and tired of life kicking me down when things finally start looking up. We had a $394 electric bill that we owed for the electricity in our old apartment but my grandfather was kind enough to give us a $400 check to cover it. I was so relieved to not have to worry about it anymore, and now this? $390 for a lost green card that is supposed to be on you at all times? This is cruel. So f*cking cruel. I've had it. Don't even tell me to call 1-800-SUICIDE. It's a crock of sh*t and makes you feel even worse after you get off the phone with them. And please don't mention "God" unless you really want to see me go postal. Sorry, your going through such difficult times, nothing I can say or type will change anything, but just know that there are a lot of people out there that care about you. Yes some of those hotlines can be very effective, and some can't. It all depends who you speak to, some people are much better communicators than others. So maybe try and talk with a good friend or if possible, try the another hotline, if one googles "suicide hotline" a few different organizations pop up! It is like with any type of counselor, some fit your style, while many do not, one if al possible just has to find that 1 person that fits your style. Did your husband have any credit cards in his wallet? If so,I assume you canceled them, but ask them if anyone has called and reported that they have found it. That's how I got my lost wallet back. As well Contact your local police and report it missing. Regarding prescriptions, ask the Dr if their is something generic that he can prescribe, they are far less expensive! many Doctors don't think about the cost, they just prescribe what they are used to prescribing, so ask them, and say, hey, there is no use prescribing me this drug, as I can't afford it. I just saw one of our grocery stores flyers, and for the next while, are not charging any $$$ for certain antibiotic medications (Giant food store)!! All the best.
