myLot Discussions| Is Quicksand the saddest Bowie song? | | it just sounds so beautifully yet tragicially messed up - shows the full depth of his obsessions with Occult mysticall thinking and beliefs bordering on Fascism, and the way he sings "Knowledge comes with death’s release" and the total resignation of "I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain’t got the power anymore
Don’t believe in yourself"

| | Have You Encountered Anyone Of Interest Lately? | | I met this guy today who managed to convince me that I was wrong to be an agnostic and atheism was the way forward. Of course I never claimed to be an agnostic or a theist or atheist.
Everything was hunky dory and he had me really believing that he knew what he was talking about, until ...... he said 'So you believe me? Thank God for the brains he's given you". I can't forget the look on his face when I lmao and walked away | |
| | | Insurance companies are just one headache after another! | | I'm beyond furious with my insurance company right now. I'm covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas under my employer's group plan. It used to be WEB TPA, but my employer transferred the plan to BCBS on January 1.Everything was supposed to carry over exactly as it was with WEB TPA. Well, it didn't. I met my in-network plan year deductible with a couple of ER visits in October. When they transferred those claims to BCBS, BCBS decided to apply some of the claims to an in-network deductible, but the majority were credited to an out-of-network deductible. I found out when my OB/GYN's office called to reverify my benefits and told me I was going to owe them a lot more than my original payment plan was for.I emailed my benefits supervisor, and she contacted BCBS for me. I got an email back from her saying that everything had been sorted out. Silly me, I assumed that it really had been. Nope! A couple weeks ago, I got some statements from BCBS for my daughter's birth that showed a bunch of charges had been applied to an inpatient hospital deductible. But my employer's plan doesn't have a separate hospital deductible.Okay, fine. I emailed my benefits supervisor again and... | |
| | Does anyone know how to get college money? Really Urgent!! | | Hello All Mylotters! I was just filling out my fafsa papers and it told me the amount that I would get for my tuition when I start college in September. I was tickled at the amount, don't get me wrong, but I am worried to death about the remainder of the bill. I am planning on going for 2-4 years to get my associates FULL TIME. I got to talking to a friend of mine and she said that there are other places out there that give you "grants" that you never have to pay back, just like the pell grant. I qualified for the Pell and that's hunky dory, but what else am I going to do? Do any of you know where to look for the other college money help out there? I have googled financial assistance and all I keep getting is ads for Quick Cash schemes or Payday advances. I need to get the ball rolling so my kids aren't scraping by either. Any help will be so appreciated. Thank you in advance! | |
| | He'll beat her for that... | | I actually heard a good friend of mine say that to her husband. It was followed by "She's already been beat because of my mouth. I'm not going to have her beat because of yours."They are talking about their 18 year old daughter. She is so beautiful and so independant and so opinionated. I just don't understand why she stays with the selfish, insecure, spoiled, woman beater that she's with. He's beat her 5 times in the 2 years they've been dating. The last time it got so bad that the cops were even involved. There is a no contact order between her and this guy; yet she went right back to him the next week and is making like everything is hunky-dory. Except that she's got little contact with her parents now because of course, it's all their fault that he's now got to go to court for beating his girlfriend.It's horrible to just have to sit and watch. I don't want to rant and rave and my girlfriend because she's already stressed enough about it. I'm there to help her not make it harder on her. And I don't dare say anything to the daughter because, again, it won't make any difference and will only alienate her.All I seem to be able to do is sit and wait and watch as it just... | |
| | I'D LIKE COME BACK AS A MAN', she said.'PREFERABLY JAMAICAN'. | | [b][/b]My friend, has a husband that has been going through a mid life crisis for the past 20 years. Now in his seventies he is still such a charming womaniser and ladies of all ages chase him so much despite his age. He is also very wealthy. He doesn't chase - he just chooses. And he really is a charmer. When you talk to him he makes you feel that he is so interested in what you have to say and he gives you his complete undivided attention.Anyway, I asked her why she wanted to come back as a Jamaican and then she explained. He grew up in an era where boys were preferred over girls and they were spoilt and cossetted by their mothers and over indulged by their fathers.Wives of her era expected their husbands to have flings or a mistress. Often the wife and the mistress knew each other and sometimes the man had two homes. Isn't hat nice for him? It wasn't all hunky dory with the wife but unless she had independant means then she put up with it. I calmed her down and she knows that he is not going to change so she went away feeling resigned I suppose to how he is. Thank God things have changed!My question is, if you could come back to earth after death, who or what would... | |
| | Help me understand?? | | Congress Moves to Slap Heavy Tax on Bonuses.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/19/AR2009031901542.html?wpisrc=newsletterThis seems to be causing people to think that everything is now hunky dory but my problem is- These bonuses have been received this year so they will not be due until next year's IRS tax returns in April 2010. So it that not giving these people plenty of time with the money already in their pockets to hide it someway or to skip the country. They could perhaps also do some clever investing and make a bunch of money on their ill gotten gains. Could the government nor just demand the money back now? | |
| | How often does this happen to you? | | I just got done watching Euro Trip, which I downloaded a few hours ago. In this movie, Scott and Cooper befriended the Manchester United Football Club, which I'd never heard of prior to my first time watching the movie. Minutes ago, I paid a visit to myLot, and what was the first item under sports, at the top of the page? Manchester United.This always happens to me! I'll be talking about Loni Anderson, seconds before her name comes up on the radio. I'll look at the phone a half-second before it rings. I think about my friend M. Winchester (no full names) as I'm opening Thunderbird, and download the first e-mail from him in months, with the single line, "Are you thier?" (English is not his strongest subject). I order a replacement from TigerDirect for my desktop PC's failing hard drive. I wake up one morning, and think, "Wouldn't it be nice if my hard drive got here two days early?" A couple hours later, UPS rings the doorbell.In Job Corps, I run into a friend one Friday afternoon, and proceed to give her a hug as I always do. She shrinks away from me angrily, obviously having a bad day. I leave her alone. The next morning, I wake up at 5:30 a.m., when lack of commitment... | |
| | Will it never end?? | | Ok...so here I've been feeling proud as punch that hubby and I were able to get a whole bunch of majorly delinquent bills paid up with the 401k loan that he took out. I even made a point to send the payments for the two that were going to court off FIRST. I'm thinking everything is all hunky dory...until I get a phone call today. It was from the first company that filed in court. The lady told me that they couldn't process the almost $2000.00 in money orders that I had sent because I still owe them $834.16 for processing fees! UGH! That just totally ruined my day! I mean, I understand that they couldn't compute the court and filing fees until everything was turned in, yada yada yada....and I did read in the papers that I would be responsible for those fees. So I'm not disputing it. It just shocked the living daylights out of me that I owed that much more still. I have until September 15 to get it paid if I want to keep it out of court. I'm going to do my level best to come up with it by then, because I'm just not that fond of being inside a courtroom. I did enough of that during my divorce from my first husband. Don't you just love financial shocks in your lives?... | |
