No, Bosum, it's not you. People just don't give a flick anymore. More and more stuff keeps falling thru the cracks.

It is not you. Cancer is a stick in the mud that I feel I cannot move without but it won't become unstuck. It is not you.
We did a job for a contractor who is now refusing to pay...in our conversation I informed him of the process here. He lives across the state line. I said "I know where you are because I make the three hour drive to Mayo every three weeks"....at which point he shouted at me "I don't care about cancer." I said " I hope every time you see a ribbon you remember how much you don't care about cancer." Thank you cancer, just one more thing to add to the pile....maybe we should just stir the mud with the stick and accept that it is not becoming unstuck....Naw I will probably post something about this to my friends on Facebook once payment is received and let others weigh in...is that bad? My husband says we should send him a little box of pink ribbons for everyday they say I have left. PEOPLE...grrrrr

It's a nuisance, but are you sending things via certified return receipt requested letter? That establishes a legal record, including serving as a document to provide the credit reporting agencies so you can dispute any collection efforts.

It's totally wrong that the burden falls on you, but it sounds like you'll have to take extra steps to protect yourself. I know that totally stinks! :-(

Good luck in your battle (and I remember party lines!).

I had a situation where my son needed an X-ray of his ankle. The insurance company denied the claim because the code for the X-ray did not match the code for the diagnosis which said it was his wrist. This went back and forth that at one point someone in the hospitals billing department told me I had to correct the coding. WHAT! Told her I didn't know the codes and they better correct it. Needless to say, it went to collection. Had a very nice young man that when I told him what had been going on and for how long he told me not to worry about it that he would take care of out. I was expecting more collection calls but he did take care of it. Never heard another word. Hope this can happen for you.

I had a coding issue once also. The billing place does have the ability to call the insurance company directly to get things straightened out. Another time I paid my bill on time but they applied it to the wrong bill and could not seem to trace it. Had to go through my HSA company to get the check number ect. It takes diligence but don't let it ruin your credit. Dispute it and fight it every way you can.

Blues, let collections handle it.
How soon do you have to move to a new apartment? Hopefully it's not too soon so this mess won't upset your credit.
I'm angry at Mr. Cancer today. LOTS of bone mets pain this last week and today. It's hard to stand and walk or do much of anything. Seeing MO on Friday. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and go in for more radiation. Sadly, oxy and Norco don't even touch the pain, and I can't take MM when I have to go do errands. Vaping doesn't help that much either, only the heavy duty edibles do, but I don't like to take them during the day because they make me too sleepy. Good for nighttime cuz they let me sleep at least 4 or 5 hrs by taking the pain from an 8 or 9 to about a 6 or 7 on the pain scale.
Prayers going out for all of us, especially those in the most pain from this shitty disease and all the se's.

BARK BARK, all day long the dog behind our house is barking non stop. My windows are closed and I'm trying to rest but BARK BARK. Going insane, neighbors know but don't care.

Meow, you can call the cops on them. Having the dog go outside and bark for a couple hours a day is one thing, but all day...THAT'S disturbing the peace.
Ear plugs don't always work. They muffle the sound slightly, but don't get rid of it.

It stopped finally, it was awful for me and the dog. It is like torture. My nerves are calming down now. Next time I will get out of the house and go somewhere.

Non stop baring is one of the worst!!! Lita, hope you feel much better soon. Spring is springing,....

ArtistAtHeart, I'm not diligent about proofreading and am often aghast when I later spot my spelling or autocorrected errors. I had to comment on how much I enjoyed your "oops" about non-stop baring. The visual of nude people marching up and down your street with looks of grim determination on their faces cracked me up.

I have a colleague who tells stories about the 'naked neighbors'. She wasn't kidding -- their bedroom and bathroom windows faced her house and apparently they weren't too diligent about drawing the blinds. . .

Sounds like plenty of baring happening there, Pajim!

BB- Concerning the bill that they are threatening to turn over to collections, you need to call up the doctor, and see if somebody in the office can deal with the billing company and try to get things straightened out. If nothing else it will make them aware that people are having problems with the billing company, and that maybe they need to switch to another billing company. Calling up the billing company, and cursing on the phone, will not get you any where. I realize you are upset, but maybe you should let somebody else deal with it that is not directly affected by it. When I moved in my condo, I tried to get landline service from at&t for my condo. Yes, I still use a landline phone, although I have a cell phone too that I don't use a lot. It took me a month to get my service started. at&t is totally incompetent. After a month of dealing with them, I had to call up my real estate agent who verified that I was living there and not the previous person who never had her phone disconnected.

Lita, hope you are feeling better.

Meow, if you have older windows, installing new double-pane replacement windows on the wall nearest the dogs could really cut down on how much outside noise you hear.

Shetland, I have really good windows. It doesn't matter I could hear this dog no matter. Even with ringing in my ear, my hearing is sensitive. My neighbor next door stopped by. She also was really distrubed by the barking. It isn't just me. I have to ask why someone would let there dog bark non stop until it was hoarse. Really inconsiderate of all involved including the poor dog.

I agree.

Was someone home? We have one here that the dog barks on and on but he does it because his owner isn't home.
0 -
Yes the guy was home. We can't believe he can just ignore it. The dog belongs to his kids, he kept it shut up in a back bedroom that faces our house. Thankfully after my husband talked him he moved the dog to the garage, still barking its head off. My question is why own the dog, it is not a children's toy.

Now that makes me mad. I'd call whatever animal place it is you can call to report abuse. They'll come and check it out and rescue the poor thing out of there.

I had an issue like this. The house behind mine was rented by people I couldn't call anything else but "white trash". They had three dogs they kept chained, in their own filth. Most of the time without water or food. I kept calling the city and various animal welfare organizations repeatedly but it took over 6 months before the dogs were rescued from that situation. They even came to my door after the second time I called the cops on them, threatening me (that didn't work too well, they didn't like the sight of my deer rifle for sure). After the first month I bought something like in the link below, it worked to stop the dogs from barking but I still kept at it until those poor dogs were rescued.

Nothing and I mean nothing angers me more than animal abuse. Seriously.

I haven't heard anymore from them. I hope they don't take it out on the dog. I don't think so, it is hard to believe people can be cruel. I hate, I mean hate the horrible news stories I see on yahoo news. People absusing babies, animals sickening. I believe 95 % or more of the population is good at heart. I can only hope I never see otherwise. But people that can ignore distress is concerning whether it be a crying baby or barking dog. I hope my complaint doesn't lead to abuse. Feeling guilty about complaining.

Does anyone else roll their eyes everytime they read "tell your doctor..." Three years + post treatment and I am sooooo sick of reading "tell your doctor", or "There is help or medications that can help with that side effect.." For the love of God tell me what that help might be please. I have 20 minutes with my doctor twice a year (if all goes well). - he's a great guy, but here is how it goes, 5 minutes reviewing chart and remembering who I am, 5 minutes of chit chat about blood test results and if I'm on the hormone therapy - if I say no, the next 5 minutes is a lecture on how important it is that I take the drugs, if I say yes, the next five minutes is on how important it is I stay on the drugs. The rest is a physical exam and telling me what tests he's sending me for. Done. I have no more money for medication. I have no money for massage therapy. I have no money to buy new lymphedema sleeves, and compression stockings. I have no friggin job. I have hot flashes 15 times or more a day. I turn neon pink every time. I take antidepressents and curse every single day I wake up. And no I will not go to social assistance until my savings are low enough that I can't eat. The last thing I need is some young thing fresh out of university telling me how to budget on less than 13,000 a year, so that I can afford the drugs. Which brings me to just what kind of education are our universities providing when they produce social workers (and therapists and various other medical professionals) who seems to not have two sweet clues that illness and poverty can not be treated with advice about a good *&^^ attitude.
Okay that should do

VLH, LOL! Oops is right....no baring neighbors please. That would be as bad as barking dogs...

MargM, I get it. Luckily I found a general doctor who is cheap for office visits, and he listens to me and asks what I want instead of just writing out a bunch of prescriptions. I tell my husband when I get a hot flash I could go lay out in the snow and turn it into boiling water in about a minute. Every room in my house has a fan and I keep one at my feet and turn it on and blow it up over my whole body. Hot flashes suck.

On top of all the pain and suffering I'm dealing with, DH just received a statement from some medical billing office saying he owes 300 bucks for some bogus emergency room visit that took place in early February.
Obviously some sort of ID theft cuz they had his BD and other info. We were on the phone back and forth with the billing service and hospital all morning. And we're not even with that particular medical group, as we told them. Their fraud dept will have to look into it, but we'll have to stay on top of it so we don't get a ding in our credit report.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
