i dont know man , all single men , drunks , lots of debauchery


drunkenness and moonshining were major comic devices used on the show across eight seasons, in addition to domestic violence, homelessness, the Confederacy, herpes, smoking in bed, cross-dressing and the occult, all heightened with canned laugh tracks.
In Mayberry you are either stone sober or bleary-eyed drunk, with no moderate drinking indicated or shown.

There is, of course, the town drunk, Otis, who acquires bootleg liquor from various moonshiners in that dry county on a regular basis and regularly celebrates the anniversary of his first drink.

But others are also getting drunk in Mayberry. Barney Fife is drunk at least three times, once with Otis in jail, once by accident, and another time by imbibing “Mulberry squeezins” made by the Darlings, in the middle of the day.

He gossips about the dipsomania in town whilst tracking down and smashing stills. (His cross-dressing, dabbling in the occult and chain letters are not within the scope of this article.)

For the last three months, I have been getting threatening email and texts from a realtor who alleges that one of my commercial properties has a fence installed on her property. I told her to hire a lawyer and then have the survey redone at her expense and we would go from there. I went to the property today and confirmed that their survey was done improperly and my boundaries stand as they have for 38 years yet. This ***** has yet to call me to apologize for the way she has talked to me or apologize for the threats… i’ve got a good mind to make this bitchh the object of my desire but at this point in my life, I think it would be much easier just to walk away… I actually expected an apology but it’s pretty obvious that that’s not the way business is being done anymore…

Ahhh... but the satisfaction of having the knowledge that you have stuck it right up her hiney, and she has to walk like a duck now as she tries to avoid you gloating while wearing a six-pound gob of gloat all over her head.

Few things in life are as satifying as beating a dangerous enemy.

You have just done so.

Most Docs overbook their time to make as much money as possible.

That is simply unknowing. I am being gentle

Doctors book what they can handle; not overbook. A huge number doctors have QUIT the profession, in case you hadn't noticed. <-- Of the experienced doctors the number is in the 85% range. The other 15% WILL leave soon.

The doctors remaining (that are the experienced ones) are burning out from overwork. The rest are FMG's or recent Med School Grads.

To say they overbook to make more money is simply ignorant of the workings of the profession. They have a scheduled day. Every one of them.

Before he threw in the towel, MySonTheDoctor had a cot in his office so when he was working 20-hour days he could crash for a few minutes. And he'd work 10 days in a row -- standard.

Alcoholism, drug abuse, divorce, suicide. <-- Pay attention. Doctors rate highest of all professions for those four categories today.

The U.S. Physician Shortage Is Only Going to Get Worse.​

“The physician shortage can justly be characterized as a looming public-health crisis,” says James Taylor, group president of the leadership solutions division at AMN Healthcare, the largest health care staffing agency in the U.S.

He adds that the types of shortages and poor access to care that have been common in rural and underserved urban areas for the past few decades will become more common nationwide. “Health care delayed is often health care denied, and a growing number of Americans are going to experience this unfortunate fact.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There it is -- and throwing shit at the remaining burning-out doctors because there are not enough of them just means you did not check the "information safety" before shooting your anti-doctor nonsense.

I just got a phone call from the lab that I used to do some of my bloodwork and they informed me that my creatine level is 2.16 which is crazy high. I don’t understand why I am not being treated when my health is so wrong. I guess they rather I either go away or die… on a much lighter note I haven’t had to feed my garden in the last couple of weeks…👀

Are you taking any workout sups at the gym for muscle mass?
2.16 is not crazy bad, 5 is. but it is an indication that your kidneys need attention.

My wife's sister just got out of Hospital and rehab, her kidneys reacted to god knows what and she gained 80lbs in a very short time (all water) she lost it in a month once she was on diuretics but is still not doing well, they the Doctors have no clue as to her problem and sent her home.
He husband thinks it from the covid shots she had 3 of them.
Did you take any of the vacs shots?
 
nope, no shots in this carcass...stopped going to the gym wednesday, just don't have any energy to drive there or workout...as far as muscle mass, I've drained down to 130 pounds and feel it...it's not looking good from this point of view...:eek:
 
as for diabetes, that was diagnosed 2 months ago, I see the doc on the 12th...I have no darkness under my tired eyeballs and I did have swollen ankles a year or so ago, the flared up and went back down...I'm sure I'll get meds when I see the doc...
 

Medical Benefits Of Cannabis In Treating Kidney Disease​

Furthermore, cannabis and derivatives of it could prevent kidney damage while also relieving pain and other distressing symptoms. Whereas, many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can result in harmful chemicals entering the bloodstream. As a result, the kidneys are put under significant pressure. Numerous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Aspirin, and Aleve contain a high amount of substances that are toxic to the kidneys. On the other hand, cannabis has very few side effects on our organs. There’s also no risk of a cannabis overdose resulting in harming or damaging our organs.

Overall, small improvements in kidney disease symptoms through the usage of THC and CBD could be clinically beneficial for patients who experience hard-to-treat symptoms. So far though, cannabis-based medicine for kidney disease, and specifically, CKD is being considered.

Although cannabis doesn’t cure kidney disease, it can effectively alleviate many symptoms associated with it. As a result, a quality of life improvement can occur, which can lead to a life with more enjoyment and less pain. At the end of the day, isn’t that what we all want?

OK so you were told you are Diabetic last doc visit
There is a very good chance once they evaluate your kidneys you will just be treated for that and once blood sugar level's are brought back into range you will feel better.
Weed is good for lower blood sugar levels too.
Hang in there and don't take and Mortin or opioids .
 
I use 1 teaspoon of sugar a day and drink absolutely zero alcohol. I have a very healthy diet and eat three times a day. I should be the last guy that has these problems but obviously that’s not the case…I’m so fatigued it’s hard to smoke more than a joint a day…hellava ride I’m on…
