I find ranting to be unproductive. I'd much rather convert that negativity into positive and productive energy and resolve the issues at hand in the best manner. I used to live by a convenient store and they had a sign that said "Smiles sold here" on the door. It always made me smile, so I would walk in with a smile, and get smiles back. I always bought something though. I would have felt bad if I went to jail for shoplifting all those smiles.

You NEVER have anything you want to just get off of your chest, because it irritates you? I'm not sure that ranting is exactly unproductive. Unless you continue to do nothing but dwell on it. Then, perhaps maybe.

I want to rant about the obstacles one encounters when dealing with an insurance company. Now, I like the company that I purchase health insurance from, but it is making me jump through hoops in order to get any medical testing done. My neurologist can't diagnose the cause of my health issue until I undergo more testing, and the insurance company is delaying the testing.

I'm having to deal with that, with my mouth issues. My dentist can't help me anymore.. it's gotten too bad. He referred me to an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon doesn't take the insurance I have. The dentist was supposed to call the oral surgeon and talk to him, then call me. It never happened. So I called the insurance company. Come to find out I have to have more reasons than my face being totally lopsided from my jaw, lock jaw, and pain.. to go see the oral surgeon. It's all a gigantic mess. I hear you David.

Gee, if you and I were ever to get together, then perhaps we would make one whole person.

Hell I rant all the time. Just earlier today I was up at the Kroger and some older lady ran over my foot in one of those motorized scooters. I said excuse me and she gives me a dirty look like I'm in her way. If I ever get me one of those scooters I'm going to run over everybody I can find........

I would rather see you play bumper cars with a couple of them. The ones I seem to be around give you dirty looks if you don't move out of their way. What ever happened to pedistrians (sp) have the right of way over motorized vehicles?

What ever happened to pedistrians (sp) have the right of way over motorized vehicles? really those things are a pain it's great that they are available for those that really need them but there also needs to be an awareness that being on one in a normally pedestrian area is a privlege and they are the guests there not the ones with the right of way I agree - I have almost been hit by one almost every time I go to the grocery

Had a conversation today that totally sucked. I wish this other person had thought before speaking. Words can be very hurtful.

Bronchitis! !! I had it in December got rid of if in January now I got it again. To make things worse my hospital is nearly 3 hours away!! I'm generally mild tempered but right now I want to put someone's head throughway wall until they figure out that a 3 hour drive just for breathing treatments isn't going to work.
