The Gripe Site

[glenn57]

Well, here's my gripe fur today! Back in da day when I was just a youngster. (here we go a-nudder when I was just a boy story).


 Ok, I'll get ta da point!
So, like I said before I got so rudely interrupted by myself    Back in da day when I was a yout, everyone on da block would put der flag up durin a holiday such as Memorial Day. As I scan down da street ta-day I see 0 flags flying. Our flag fly's 24/7 wit a light on it at night. So just as a reminder please dig out yer red-white-& blue and get dat sucker displayed a least fur da day! 

"And Dat's all I got ta say bout dat!"

Lee buddy...….I gotz 2 of thm out since Saturday morning!!!!!!!!! 

[Reinhard]

Yes, I see that as well.  My neighbor across the street is a officer in the military and his flag and mine are up all the time.  I live in 2 1/2 acre min. lots and I can say I have never seen a flag from anyone regardless of holiday's and any day. 

My gripe lately has been almost road rage  :angry2:walking down the grocery lanes or other places I shop at.  The cart is blocking half the isle and the person blocks the rest of it.  Here I stand waiting to get by and some see it and move.  But others know I am there and do nothing until they get what they want. 

I'm probably the calmest guy out there but I have been having a little fun with it rather than get mad.  I get to the offending party and wait a few seconds.  If they do not know I'm there I just turn around and go to the next isle and return later.  But to those who see me and do not move I just go forward and bump into their cart and say Oops.  Then they move their cart.  Not the biggest thing in the world but having been in retail for years I've seen it all.  good luck.

Fun RH.  Maybe we are training them to someday have a little situational awareness.  Personally I love it when I am a little gassy.  I drop a bomb by them and either squeeze by or just stand there and smile.  Embarrasses the heck out of my wife and I can hardly keep from laughing.

RH and LPS I'm with ya all the way!!!  the gas attack is awesome!!!! 

[Gunner55]

Usually a pretty calm guy here too but that's somethin that gets under my skin a little too RH.  My favorite ploy is to go around to the next aisle but start on the far end to see if I can return the favor when they get there.

  Medicare Rip Offs'

  ......
So when yer on Medicare yer entitled one free pair of approved shoes each year. This is if you have foot problems and approved by a physician (ie diabetes or foot DR.)

Also after getting approved and measured by a special person dat does dis stuff.  It took over 3 months for da shoes ta be ready. (that was after Borgie kept calling different places to follow up on da delay. Were talkin gym shoes here.

We keep receiving statements as to the cost from everyone in da chain dat were involved.

The bottom line total came up to just over $2,000 for a pair of firkin gym shoes wit a Velcro strap.

Da cost to us was nothing!

I was considering getting myself a free pair since I also have diabetes. However after seeing what a rip off this is to the government I couldn't
justify such a rip off!

[Gunner55]

 

[delcecchi]

Custom made by union medical labor.   

[Rebel SS]

I never got free shoes............

[Reinhard]

Man I didn't even know that option was available.  I need good shoes also and on Medicare but after reading this I"ll just go to Petersons shoes in Anoka and get a pair.  I can get a good pair for under $200.  Bought my last pair there 6 years ago and they made me feel like I had new feet.  Standing on hard surfaces take their toll.  good luck.

[glenn57]

so...i'm confused???? who's rippin who off. the shoe people submitting bills to Medicare???

I have planters faciatis. requires shoe inserts. per my Ins, considered a medical something or another and wasn't covered. when they gace me the your a diabetic...…...now there covered!!!!!!

[Reinhard]

Glenn if the supplier of the show sends the bill of $2,000 for a pair of shoes it's the supplier.  It's also the folks at Medicare who what it looks like to me just sign the check before looking into it to see how crazy that bill is.  good luck.

one would think someone should be keeping an eye on them crooks......both sides!!!!!

but I am certainly not surprised by your response and actually kind of expected it!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

Med Law says if you are on disability/medicare and are diabetic, you are entitled to one pair of shoe per years due to the fact that diabetes requires proper shoes.

[glenn57]

I buy my shoes, ins pays for the inserts!!!!!!!

wait would a pair of alligator or snakeskin boots qualify...………….

I think this stay-at-home is gettin' to everyone. Mentioned in an Email to my buddy that moved to Mpls last Fall, that I needed to run to the store for some food items, and then was gonna pop into Menardo's quick. This is the Email he sent me back:

Best to stay off the streets and out of the stores. Everyone. Even discounting the chance of acquiring the virus or passing it to others, some out-of-the-blue accident could become an emergency that just adds more strain on the medical system.

He hasn't left his little condo in 2 weeks. Period. He eats nothing but microwave TV dinners. (He says "If I can't 'wave it, I ain't eating it") No fruit, veggies, bread, etc. No fresh stuff, period. Said he's been "vegging out" watching movies all afternoon and nite. His place is surrounded by a nice park, he won't go out.  I fear they're gonna find him in a couple months...or he's gonna crack like a coconut.

[LPS]

We are very careful but not as bad as your buddy.  I am watching a cooking show and they are stuffing chicken breasts.  I would love to make that for supper but I don't want to go to the grocery store until I have to. 

I did just install Malwarebytes on my lap top.  Had it on my PC.  Then I installed AVG that Delman suggested.      Thanks Del.

   Back ta da shoes fur a brief second.........


So if ya want ta take a look at da breakdown On dis let's take a look..... First ya got Da foot doctor, Next is da diabetes doctor, Den da guy at a-nudder location da takes a cast of yer feet.


 Next is da shoe manufacturer. Den da shoes get shipped ta a place in Chicago. Den from dare to a place closer ta my area. Next we have ta go ta pick um up. At dat place we have a so called specialist dat tells how ta break in da shoes. Fur example wear dem briefly, den a bit more often and so on.....
Also gives us insert pads fur da shoe (not orthotics).

   

And dis is how everyone gets a slice of da pie!


I am in no way try-in ta justify da bottom line total costs!
