Not defaulting you into it, but using the number attached to the card to ask if you want marketing materials. Real fucking shitty.

Had a date with easily the most gorgeous woman I've personally scored. Buuuuut...
Some strange behavior last weekend (very entitled/selfish) cropped up before we even went out. I still ended up going because, really I had nothing to gain or lose from going. Orange flag for sure, since both parties should be on their best behavior at that point, but hey. I'll go out on a date.
Short version, we had a great time. Planned to go on another date. Been talking/texting every day since last week. She's a pretty shit communicator. (she speaks well, but it's just... sporadic)
I asked her out 2 days ago for a second date. No response. Now, I don't demand constant communication. I'm a pretty chill individual. But no response? I send a follow up since it's been a couple days, basically as a "Hey, you good?" kinda thing. Still no response. So between the behavior last week and then this, I think I'm checking out. Which is a shame. Seemed like a nice woman & gorgeous. Short of being in the hospital, there's no reason you can't take 15 seconds and answer. It's rude, imo. Disrespectful of my time. But I don't think that's even a care in their world. Kinda miffed about it. Oh well.
Two days? Yeesh.
500 right swipes gets a guy 4 dates, 2 of whom will ghost him
did you meet her on a dating app Odesseiron?
It definitely was. Lol.
Also as far as ghosting goes, yeah. I'm pretty sure that's what it is. It's just... annoying. I'm an adult and communicate. Why can't you?
Like I said, I'm not a needy person, and don't want to seem like it. If I typed out the story of what happened and what she did prior to the date, it would be like 2 paragraph thing, but it's not worth it. Is it my fault for entertaining it after the fact? Sure. If you really want the details, I can get into them, but I'm sure I dodged a bullet in the long run.Two days? Yeesh.
I'm not "new" to the OLD scene, but it's been a minute.
Every time i see what people do for dating now... glad I don't have to bother. Godspeed.
Tbh I might just resign myself again soon. I don't know what the fuck is in the water.
Nah I'm just surprised two days went by after a week of texting and,"another date?" is what they chose to ignore.
Take an entry level hospital job for about a month. Part time is fine. Won't take long. Being a guy in a hospital is a dating cheat code. Night shift, even better.
Had a leaky faucet and my dad randomly gave me a toilet for my birthday (don't ask I don't know...) and finally called a plumber to install them because I'm in terrible shape and have no way to discard the old toilet anyway. Was hoping for around $500ish (I bought a faucet already too) but was quoted at $716 when they got here. Alright, close enough. Then apparently my flange was busted, that was another $200ish, and then the hot water valve was not working, that spiked things another $600, and then I was offered their "membership" which gives me 15% off. So final bill was $1320.90. Some of the prices seem to mostly be on track with normal, but can't help but feel I got taken advantage of to some degree.
On that note, this "membership" is for a year, so maybe I'll figure out how the Inflation Reduction Act shit works and will get a new water heater in December so I can get the rebate or something on my taxes. I dunno, I can find some information on the Inflation Reduction Act but there seems to be no good source for how to get the rebates, and I'm easily poor enough to get said rebates.
On another note, a few months ago I went to get a new storm door, since my storm door broke to the wind my 2nd month in this house and I never replaced it, Lowe's has doors for like $300ish and offers $150ish for install, went to a local place and they quoted me over $4k for two storm doors. So I still have no storm doors and I'm never going to that place for business lol
IRA rebates are administered by the states, only a couple have begun getting close to beginning the program.

Life's been rough in general with my dad in slow mental decline and various other things, but last night our oldest dog either had a stroke or found a pill one of my parents dropped. Either way, couldn't walk, stand, or hold his pee, but was aware enough something was wrong would occasionally panic and flail. Him being around 60 pounds, this added extra risk of him hurting himself. Now, I can endure just laying with him with both of us soaked in piss until he finally did fall asleep and controlling him he panicked, but my vexation is aimed at the fact there were zero emergency vets open within a 60 minute drive.
About 10 hours later he's doing better and we'll be hitting the vet shortly. I've already showered and have my bedding in the wash, too. Just fingers crossed this is an isolated incident, but he is 10.5 years old now so there's always that creeping dread that it's downhill from here. I'm just fucking exhausted at this point.
So sorry to hear that arus, fingers crossed for a good news from the vet.
While a stroke isn't 100% ruled out since we still need to keep an eye on him, the vet is leaning vestibular disease which should hopefully clear up in a few weeks. There may still be some lingering side effects in the long run, but it's better than the alternative. Just gonna have to keep him isolated from our other dogs and hope he takes to resting.
So glad you've got good news. I understand how you feel, it took 2 weeks to rule FIP out for my cat and that two weeks was hell for me.
Hope he recovers quickly and swiftly.
Fucking hell, I wonder about kaiser sometimes.
Finally reached out to mental health a few weeks ago and last week had my first real therapy appointment due to near crippling depression and anxiety.
One thing I asked was about if I may have ADHD as I have trouble focusing on the best of days, and my therapist agreed it could be a cause of my issues and asked me to reach out to them to schedule a screening, and he would advocate for me if need be.
Get called back by kaiser today and they tell me based on my intake screening that my anxiety and depression is too significant and they won't test me for at least 2-3 months down the road and if the depression and anxiety decreased...

Be prepared for them to fight you to the bitter end on ADHD. It's a whole thing with kaiser. Going through it now myself.
Yeah, he warned me about that. So mentally semi prepared for a long fight.

I eventually got tired of their shit and went out of network on my own dollar for a second opinion. Other doc was like "oh holy shit yes" and gave me a diagnosis, but due to complications from often getting blood clots (Lieden 5 mutation) they won't touch me with a 10' pole. Referred me to another doc, who take my insurance.
Set up appointment with new doc, have to have a kaiser referral for them to charge the insurance. Ok fine, I go back to my kaiser psychiatrist and give him the situation. He says they don't give referrals. Um...ok wtf
Eventually go to member services to ask what I should do, end up having to formally file a complaint that they refuse to treat me, all I need is the screening referral. After a month th or two, they say ok here is your referral, good luck young man.
I go back to the outside doc with my referral, do all my bloodwork and I'm looking at dates for the required physical when new doc says hey this is a therapy referral. Not what we need (or what I requested).
So i contact the kaiser psychiatrist again and he tells me again they don't give referrals, and if i want a second opinion I'm welcome to go to another kaiser doctor and get one but he's not doing anything else.
I've been so pissed about it I haven't followed up, but, yeah. Be ready for a long wait, be patient and above all, advocate for yourself because kaiser certainly won't.
