This day...
Had to see a doctor today and she was the most aggravating person I've ever dealt with! She and her superior are two of the most arrogant, conceited, and dismissive women i've ever had the displeasure of dealing with!
I'm old, dammit! I've been dealing with doctors, one on one, ever since I was 13. I KNOW my body. I KNOW when something is amiss. But when someone I've only met once ignores everything I say regarding everything I've been through, every medical professional's diagnosis before, and every symptom I'm having and have had, I get pissed!
There are strong, inspirational women with hearts, compassion, understanding, and the ability to truly hear another person. And then there are the snobbish bitches who look down their noses at anyone not them and predetermine who you are by some preconceived notion.
At my age, I really don't have time for this kind of shit.
I'm tired. I'm stressed. I'm worthy of better medical care and am due a lot more respect than what I received today.

Jokes
A friend of mine got really depressed last night, So he called Lifeline. He got a call center in Pakistan. He told them he was suicidal. They got all excited and asked if he could fly a plane?
I dialed a number and got the following recording:
"I am not available right now, but
Thank you for caring enough to call.
I am making some changes in my life.
Please leave a message after the
Beep. If I do not return your call,
You are one of the changes."
~~~~~
Aspire to inspire before you expire.
~~~~~
My wife and I had words,
But I didn't get to use mine.
~~~~~
Frustration is trying to find your glasses without your glasses.
~~~~~
Blessed are those who can give without remembering
And take without forgetting.
~~~~~
The irony of life is that, by the time
You're old enough to know your way
Around, you're not going anywhere.
~~~~~
God made man before woman so as to give Him time to think
Of an answer for her first question.
~~~~~
I was always taught to respect my elders,
But it keeps getting harder to find one.
~~~~~
Every morning is the dawn
of a new error.
~~~~~
The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstor ms tearing up the country from one end to
another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of
Allegiance?"
