Quail_Antwerp: Words from the Barnyard...

[Wifezilla]

I have a couple of people I know on Medicare (or is it cade? ). The hoop jumping is enough to make a well person weak.

Took me 2 years to find out that my son should have been receiving medicaid automatically (state law for SSI recipients), but someone forgot to check a box somewhere. After several dozen phone calls to different agencies, someone finally looked at the right computer screen and fixed it. I just got a slew of paperwork backdated 2 years, but he has his card now

Of course each piece of paperwork was in its own individual envelope with its own separate postage. It could have all been sent in one envelope and saved a couple of dollars, but that just isn't the government way!

I have thought of a person's journal as sort of a sanctuary where you could let it all hang out and not be judged. It should be a safe place where you can whine to your friends if you want to, knowing that they know where you are coming from and never mind listening to you. You do the same for them.

I guess I was wrong.

And QA, I got what your point was in sharing this information.

Who's judging? From what I can see, it's supporting a great freind!

I think the judging is referenced to Aly's post #2868 and 2869 back a couple pages.

Good Luck...

I thought it was because of this post from MP which has been edited now??


but I agree, don't be judging in journals too harsh. Journals are for venting....any topics on the general board are fair game for true opinions, in journals they are a persons true feelings, etc. We gotta play fair here..LOL

Gosh I was starting to think *I* said something...getting me paranoid here:>) The last thing I ever want to do is hurt someone or judge someone

Aly,

I think that in this format, without being face to face with someone, it is really easy to just blurt out things that you would not say if you had to look someone in the eye. I think the resulting hurt feelings are usually the unintended byproduct of not taking a minute to really think about the person on the other end here. We are all real live people with real feelings.

When someone comes here to bare their soul they should not have to face criticism, just like in real life if a friend confided in you, you would handle their feelings with care.

We just all need to treat each other kindly. Just like we learned in Kindergarten.

Girl, listen, you have helped so many people through your experiences! That's why I love this forum so much, especially the journals, because it is a place for everyone to let it all hang out. Just think of all the good that has come out of this and pat yourself on the back!!!

Well said, Dace. I've tired of this forum of late because of a lot of arguing.

Didn't see it, but that might well be.

Look, I haven't read through all the replies, and I'm not mad, well I was this morning, but give me a few minutes, I'll clear some things up.

I love ya'll!
