maybe if i taped a catheter to my leg i could just let it trickle out by my shoes

yeah elph is the worst.

hmm. maybe i spoke too harshly. i was just thinking the other day how ppl give elph too much shit. how he really isn't that bad of a guy.

aren't you around some sort of medical teaching institute? go find an urologist and at least ask, please. you piss way too often, my friend.

I also have a film rec for you, sounds promising to me even if critics rip it a new one, Lords of Chaos by Jonas Akerlund.

i will be ok. i should start earning enough to buy insurance, then i can go get this looked at and other things (my blood pressure is way too high).

i don't know about that movie. i've watched a number of documentaries about the subject and read up some. this looks like a pretty glamorous take. still, i might just check it out.

what does that even mean?

go see a doctor. there could be all sorts of thing wrong with you.
and if not, that's great (I GUESS), but just the frequent weeing and the trouser pissing is bad enough to get that sorted out.

if you have no insurance you have to pay tons of money to see a doctor. welcome to america!

and i pissed my pants because i was nervous and zipped up prematurely. i'll be fine, friend.

This is mostly accurate, but he brings shit on himself by acting cooler than thou. I'm sure he's an okay guy but this character of his needs to die like, yesterday. He should be entering his post-elph stage by now.

I never have any idea what's trendy that's why I come on here to learn which bands I like are cool

ooh image-obsessed and modest

the only person i see deeming bands "cool" or "uncool" is Elphenor tho

is this just one big exercise in talking to yerself? :beatup:

you likely have a uti or bladder infection and you don't want it to become a kidney infection

you should get very discounted health insurance/free through the healthcare exchange. or what about medicaid? try http://www.myflorida.com/accessflorida/

true, but what he deems cool or not still has little to do with what's trendy.

i don't quality for medicaid because my i stay with my parents and our household isn't low income. not sure what healthcare exchange is but i will check it out.

thanks reprise.

i think the infection is starting to get to your head :beatup: :eek: :beatup:

i don't man. i just did the assessment and that's what i got.

am i wrong?

I don't know about Florida but here you can live with your parents and still get Medicaid if your parents aren't considering themselves part of your "household " in this instance, meaning they won't pay for your doctor visits and medicines. Same with food stamps.

I'd try it again. You're essentially a household within a household.

How many days late is too late to wish you a happy birthday? roughly 30? great, then there is still plenty of time: happy belated birthday, ilp!

My broke adult child lives with me and needs health insurance. Can he get it?
Yes, but there are complications
Published: October 07, 2013 08:53 PM

Q. My son lives in our yard in a broken-down RV. He’s been unable to find steady work for many years. His only income is from an occasional odd job. We claim him as a dependent on our taxes. How does this all work with the new health care law?

A. Sadly I’ve gotten several inquiries like this recently – the 52-year-old woman who lives with her parents and has been unemployed for years; the 28-year-old woman who’s moved in with her mother while attending community college.

For families in this situation, there’s sort of good news, but with some significant asterisks, according to experts on taxes and the health law that I consulted.

It starts with tax filing status, which is very important because it’s the basis for handing out premium tax credits to buy insurance on your state’s Health Insurance Marketplace. Parents who support adult children over the age of 24 (or, for that matter, any relative), can list them as dependents on their tax return. It’s a category called “qualifying relative” and here are the, um, qualifications

The adult child must be single, not disabled, not pregnant, and not have any dependent children.
His or her gross income for 2014 must be no more than $3,950.
The parent or parents must provide more than half the adult child’s support, including food, housing, health care, clothing, transportation, utilities, and entertainment. (The IRS provides a worksheet for figuring all this out.)

If this is your situation, your adult child can purchase health insurance on the marketplace and possibly get a premium tax credit to lower the cost based on your total household income. You read that right. Even though you may be on Medicare and have no need for other insurance, your son’s marketplace financial help is based on the total Modified Adjusted Gross Income of everyone in the “tax filing unit,” aka your household.

i s'pose it depends if u file as dependent or not, most importantly.

My birthdate was the 18th, so you're not even a week late! Thank you, it was quiet but fun.

what did yer baby get you?

Took, pls read and think about this carefully

She drew on the card my parents got her to give to me, which is unbearably cute and almost makes up for her bigger gift of sleep deprivation :)

Damn. And I had just started to celebrate.

Shouldn't you be writing?

Something else.

Picked up Kenny's remains (my dog). Holy shit. The closure is nice but I cried harder than I've cried since Saturday. You could probably hear me heaving from a mile away. But it feels really good to have him home.

sry flobes

Thanks, but I need to stress again how good it feels to have him (his ashes) here with me, home. This is ultimately a positive.

god damnit globes

Shut up, I'm not crying. You're crying!

Awww :cry:

You’re not about that toxic masculinity life?

i mean the ACA/obamacare


do they claim you as a dependent? if so, you might still be able to get a really reduced rate on a marketplace (ACA) program. if not, i'm assuming you might qualify for medicaid because of low income. but you should be able to get one or the other for very minimal cost, the only probably with the ACA option being that it's not during open enrollment right now but there's other qualifying events too, like changing jobs, that you might be able to loophole into somehow

no they don't claim me as a dependent. but, like you said, open enrollment is over so I have to wait for the end of the year to sign up for medicaid.

i will check out the aca thing. thnx again.

So I saw Us opening night because I was so excited about it.

It was fine. Not scary at all. : /

o damn, i forgot that premiered last night

i'm guessing you were big on Get Out?

you have it backwards. ACA you need open enrollment. medicaid (afaik) you can do anytime on that florida access site. at least that used to be how it worked. just apply for everything all at once. medicaid/food stamps/reduced phone service etc. i don't have medicaid but i have medicaid cost of share at like $2500 or something like that, so if something happens to me and my out o of pocket goes over the threshold they pay the rest. you should at least get that and your oop for that would be much less. i'm about 200% the poverty level and it goes by that.
