No one’s promising you can keep your doctor anymore - POLITICO

DenoPenno comments on Nov 26, 2023:

In my recent doctor visit I was with the nurse the longest time, then my doctor comes in last. I told that nurse many things and then she asked me lots of questions. This part is usual and it gets put into a computer. By the time my internest doctor came in I was really going to go off on her. A virtual visit, for example, is like watching Star Trek. To me it proves nothing. My high potassium level proves nothing because I have a high potassium diet. You taught me what to eat but I like the food I have always had. I am drinking again but not had a drink in 4 days. I was telling this and so much more. By the time my doctor came into the room I went over this again. She claimed she was going to take me off one drug immediately so I asked her why. Turns out that the nurse took my description of how that drug made me feel as bad and negative, putting that in the computer. No. I was asked how it made me feel and that is all I meant to say. The drug is working wonders on my neuropathy. My doctor goes through this and all my complaints taking it better than I had suspected. She explained to me that a great many things they say and do in how they treat us is guided completely by Medicare. A lot of the questions I am asked is things Medicare wants to know. OK, not totally happy here, but it looks like I might stay with my doctor for now. The changes in things is here whether we like it or not and which doctor you have is not as meaningful as before.

WTF is that about, seniors? Someone is trying to make you behave like school children. Maybe you could keep your eyes open and look around to see who did the same. In the end you find someone like yourself who did the same and was just hoping to find someone. That's a pipe dream. Unfortunately this is the same situation in church. All of this makes me think I will continue with my 2 days work a week with the public and then 5 reclusive days hiding out in my house. I'm able to recall when we had a sane world.

When incest was the rule

DenoPenno comments on Nov 21, 2023:

Believers insist that Adam and Eve were the first humans because they need this to promote the doctrine of sin and redemption. Without the first 2 humans there would be no sin and none of us would need a god. Some say that if Cain found his wife in the land of Nod as the bible says it would prove there were more humans. Others lie and twist the tales around to where this meme is true, or they tell some variation of it claiming the longevity of everyone then made it not be incest. This entire idea is a bucket of snakes. Talking ones at that. Who was the first dog or first cat?

I have no doubts about people all throughout history feeling that they are really the wrong sex and some going so far as to want to be addressed as that particular sex. What I do have plenty of doubt about is choices of personal pronouns as to how they want to be addressed and the use of "they" or "them" and other such bullshit as we run onto today. Some would have us believe that 2000 years ago the citizens wanted to be addressed and treated as the LGBTQ community today fights for. Humans have not changed much but human thought has changed. If we keep going with this some genius will tell us all that they found an ancient society of Republicans.

She knew I would be happy coz I don't really need the money but I live off their 2 days a week pay.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 20, 2023:

I found that interesting and can agree with just about everything said there. The advice to the daughter was wonderful in my opinion and hit it all right on the head. My mom and stepdad got me into religion when my sister was born and then died in the hospital. My parents wanted to know "where she went" so religion became a big thing with us. She died. That's where she went. It's sort of like before you were born. All of these arguments were very good. I know people want comfort but lies don't cut it. Christians need to know how, where, and when we got the bible we have today. They would find that the many books making up the big book were planned by decree to have a beginning and an end. This was somewhere about 330 AD and Revelation barely made the cut. I guess there had to be a Genesis because without it all the reasons we need god and salvation would not exist. Save me from what? Oh, I'm saved now from all that you were going to do to me if I did not believe. OK. Then I go on into Constantine and how his mother was a believer and she gave him some nails from Jesus true cross to protect him. How many nails were there? I think it was also said she had slivers of wood from the one true cross. Later the Catholic Church helped sell all of them, but Jesus may have had more than one cross. I was told today that because of the middle east war there will be no Christmas decorations in Israel. It went over my co-worker's head when I told him those people over there are not Christians. Search for it and you will find 4 or 5 places that claim they are Jesus' tomb. Jews and Palestine people need to make some money. They just do it differently than our American church people do.
