THANK YOU Need and Bounce, and everyone!

Need…just one thing.
It’s not that it’s a private matter. It’s a legal matter. Not allowed to talk.

I am allowed to vent.

Pot rattler was big, and the epicenter was in Millbrae, CA at 6:38 p.m. Friday; and downgraded to a 3.7 from the reported 4.0 earthquake.
Near SFO?

There were lots of big aftershocks following.

Much of S.F. land is built on fill.
What is fill?
Often, when we colloquially refer to fill around the Bay Area, we’re actually referring to two different things:
Artificial fill
Former or “reclaimed” marshlands and wetlands.
Artificial fill is land that was created by piling up soil, mud, rocks, rubble and dirt. In many cases, mud was pumped up from the bottom of the San Francisco Bay to fill in piles of rocks, then allowed to dry.

An earthquake in those areas could feel larger if the land was built on fill. Not sure, but an earthquake there could lead to liquifaction. Like said, not sure.

Sounhappy,

That’s what I meant by saying that you were uncomfortable speaking about it, because it is a private matter.

I’m sure that this situation is taking a toll on you. I hope it’s over soon.

Vent all you want.

Thanks Need! I’m not uncomfortable speaking about it. I just can’t talk about it: because it’s a court case.

Once in a while I need to scream it out (silently):

JUSTICE.

I don’t expect anyone to read my mind. I’m not writing this for others. I’m writing it for me.

Sounhappy,

I respect your perspective on privacy and I do not blame you for not speaking about something that would be uncomfortable for you to share.

People have all sorts of craziness in their families. Some like you, are dealing with complicated legal issues.

We aren’t mind readers, so we have no idea what you’re going through. Whatever it is, I certainly hope that you find peace in your life soon.

It’s tough to wait things out, not knowing if, how and when something will occur.

I see! I guess I hoped I would know more in 2 weeks. But nope. More time is needed. (I never said the court case would be over, is over, or will soon be over).

Concerns bullies.

I can’t give details. It’s a court case. There’s no way I’m writing about it.

I don’t write “justice” in order for other people to understand me. I’m not writing in order to be understood. This is the whine section. I’m writing for me. Every once in a while I’m desperately crying out by writing here, JUSTICE.

So I write it again: Justicccccce.

The story is so crazy, it’s totally unbelievable.

From you, Sounhappy on Oct 11:
"S

Oct 11, 2023
In about two weeks, I’ll know if JUSTICE IS REAL…or just some myth in fairytales."


That was the second time you said two weeks. A week later you mentioned "some weeks". So this has been ongoing for a while, and it has varied. But there are never details, nor any speaking of what this is about other than "bullies" and a "court case".

It's all a bit confusing. And yes, indeed, court cases often do go on and on and on. I don't know that just repeating the word "justice" will bring on that nebulous outcome, but I am certain we all wish for justice these days, on many accounts, and for many people in our own world and in nations as a whole. Would that wishing made it so!
But I am certain that you, by now, have our most FERVENT wishes of us ALL.

As to my own whine of the day, we just had a good little pot rattler shake! Don't know what on the scale yet, and it was quite short, but I think this little tremor might have taken down a shelf or two somewhere.

What is your court case regarding, Soun? Can you tell us in broad terms?

Report

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your support!

I thought I had written, in some weeks, not 2 weeks. Maybe I said I’ll know more in 2 weeks?

Court case on-going. Court cases can go on a long time.

JUSTICE!

@Sounhappy,

I wonder if you could enlighten us so that we could be a bit more mindfully caring of you.
For some weeks now you have said that you would know if the is "justice" within two weeks. That time limit has now passed.
Does your message to us of one word -- "scream"-- repeated, indictate that in your humble opinion justice has NOT been done?
Or are you simply having a bad day waiting for "The Day of Justice"?

“SCREAM, WHINE. HIDE.”
Way, this is a good title for a movie.

My current state? Scream, scream, scream.

SCREAM, WHINE. HIDE.
This is what I want to do .
Sometimes DH is so dumb .

FIL (in AL ) called DH to say that his sister is coming to visit on Saturday , then dead silence . DH said I know A- ( DHs cousin) texted . ( The cousin drives , her mother) .

DH said it was weird , Dad didht say anything else.

I said
1) It’s not weird the guy does that all the time now , he is struggling to find his words lately . ( dementia)
2) Your Dad was waiting for you to say “Ok we will all go out for a meal”.

DH and I had plans , nothing big , but still . It should not be expected that we stop what we are doing if someone comes to visit .

Bounce: No, I did wish that I was any taller than 5' 8-3/4." Heels can give you foot pain - sorry that you deal with that. Mother lost height as she aged and so have I.

Yes Llama, you are correct about the insurance. Prayers for a good night's sleep and a good result Thursday.

Hang in there, and I encourage you to make the phone calls, keep trying. Tell them how sick you are (or have been), and ask for their supervisor, and get beyond the first person who says they don't see the order and tells you to wait.

I had a breakthrough with insurance approvals just Tuesday! There has never been a better person who helped me and made all the calls for me while I was on the phone with her. Better now! Took one hour and 20 minutes.

Update: The Toradol injection gave me several hours of relief so that I could thankfully sleep last night. As I still need imaging services done, I have pressed my PCP via phone AND patient first to send an order to my radiologist. In this day and age, insurance apparently dictates the logistics of that success rate or not. Also, plan to TRY to wake up to call the orthopedist Thursday afternoon.

I have the icky wax buildup thing in my ears. Mom had it so bad that I had to clean her hearing aid out weekly.

I laughed when I was reading the results from my DNA testing. They said that I had sticky wax buildup. DNA testing is fascinating.

Some things are strange. I have one dimple, my daughter has one dimple. That showed up in the testing too.

How can they determine as much as they do, listing characteristics such as my blue eyes and other features from DNA?

My husband was scheduled for an MRI tomorrow morning. He gets a letter saying that Blue Cross will not cover it.

So, he calls Ochsner and they say that it is approved. My husband was concerned so he kept asking questions and spoke with someone else who said that he wasn’t approved because of lack of information.

This came about because he deals with kidney stones. When he was in the hospital they spotted some abnormalities on his liver and his doctor ordered an MRI.

So now he has to speak with his doctor again.

I know in the past, with health issues that I have had. My doctor had to write letters to the insurance company before I could get approval for certain procedures.

It’s such a pain dealing with insurance companies at times.
