Today 7/13, I received two envelopes from Medicaid.

One contained a letter re: my application for Medicaid from 6/15. It informed me that I had not submitted enough information, and that they needed my bank records, ID copies, credit check, fingerprints, blood sample, firstborn child or pet, et cetera, to complete my application. (My clinic had told me to get the application in anyway, as Medicaid would send me this letter, and the clinic worker wanted my coverage to start as soon as possible to cover my medical bills.)

This letter informs me sternly that I must get them this information by 6/27 or they will deny my claim.

The other envelope, naturally, contained a letter saying they were denying my claim because they hadn't received that information by their due date of 6/27.

Both envelopes are postmarked 7/11.

Apparently a time machine is necessary to apply for Medicaid! Wow, that'll trim the Medicaid budget, won't it?

If I had a time machine, I'd be getting lottery numbers, not Medicaid.

I had to switch psychiatrists because mine moved out of town, boo :(  she was good and would give me whatever I wanted pretty much.

Currently I get adderall 20mg which i RARELY take, tho I was taking i tmore regularly and i still get it filled and I intend to continue to do so for emergencies.

I also take zoloft 50mg, I've been on this about 6 weeks and I havne't noticed too many side effects, so I think I'll stick with this.

For anxiety i was on ativan 1mg at bedtime and ambien 10mg. The ambien I love, it just doesnt' work as well as it used to of course, i sometimes had antihistamine or melatonin. My biggest problem is insomnia and varying amounts of anxiety throughout the day.

Before my old psych left, she also prescribed klonopin, which I've been taking for about 6 weeks and i dont really notice anything. it doesn't reallyhelp me sleep so I've been slowly decreasing the dose on that, hoping to come off that one.

i'd like to have an idea of what I might get when I go see this new doc in 2 weeks.

I have an almost brand new 8820 blackberry, with everything it came with, in great condition that I no longer want. I just want to switch back to a sidekick. The price is pretty reasonable.

hi i'm lina
i have been having panic/aniexty attacks since i was 14 years old and in the eighth grade
i am currently 16 will be 17 in december
just thought i would introuduce myself

so normally i am on 400mg lamictal/lamotrogine, but i missed it for three weeks so i had to start building it up again from 100mg. so i have. i just hit the 100mg the other day, like a week ago. i saw my psychiatrist today and he upped me to 200mg and we'll go back to 400mg from there. HOWEVER, i don't even remember how this goes. like do i need to build it up again? or do i just jump from 100mg to 200mg? i know this is something i should have asked my doctor but i have been so out of it i completely forgot until 5 hours later and i haven't been able to reach him. anyone know if you do go from 100mg to 200mg? would i get a rash? (i never have).

A few weeks back this story about the condos near the hunt's point railroad yard. The crux of the argument is that trains run all day and there's smoke and noise and it decreases the quality of life there. I'm not an expert but I can understand that the process of shutting down or starting up a locomotive is not the same as turning the keys on a buick.

A little bit of history the Hunt's Point storage yard has been there since the late 1800's. Until recently the area around the train yard was surrounded by factories and other industrial buildings. It was never an area fit for human habitation, but that's fine.

I have a question for all the residents of the area: What do you expect living so close to a train storage yard? Did you spend any time looking at the areas before you bought or rented your place? Did you do 10 mins of research into the area before you moved there? How can you be surprised by the trains?

Now, the Daily News article misses the real story. Why were these pieces of land ever zoned to allow housing there? A cursory inspection of the area should show that it's not a "good idea" for people to live there. I know that a few years ago, when they started building housing in that area, that there was a housing boom and an industrial bust so there was a need for housing and not factories (which, in hindsight is a probably a statement on our economy). I'm not a big fan of gov't regulation (which is why I asked the questions of the residents first) but this is one area where I probably wouldn't have complained.

Easiest way to get to Amherst from New York City on a Friday night and then back again on Sunday afternoon?

Bus, train, car rental?

I'm no longer a student, just coming back for a reunion of sorts, but still have my student ID if that helps.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I got in touch with pinkmagnolia about maintainership of nbc_medium and she's made me the new MOD/Maintainer of the community! I'll be making tags soon, so be on the look out for them :D.

Just read Approval by a Blogger May Please a Sponsor which discusses paid sponsorships and blogging. It also mentions that the FTC is looking into the practice as a potential as it relates to Truth in Advertising laws. I have to say that this is another step away from the "free web", something that concerns me greatly.

Maybe I'm a cynic, but I assume that most of the reviews I read on blogs have some benefit to the blogger. Either through free products, sponsorship, affiliate programs, or other means, I assume that the blogger is being compensated in some fashion, and quite frankly there's nothing wrong with that. There is a difference between Consumer Reports and classymommy.com and I think people recognize that.

Now, the thing that concerns me is how strictly the FTC will consider benefit? I think I've only done 1 review on this blog (the one for Artisteer). Where the article in and of itself wasn't paid for in any way, it has brought me to the attention of some folks in the Drupal community, which may or may not lead to future work. If I had decided to take part in artisteer's affiliate program, would I have had to list it as a sponsored link in some way? There is a link in the footer of my webpage for my hosting company, which is an affiliate link. What responsibility would I have in listing that as an affiliate link?

People should be considering the reputation of the reviewer with the weight of the review. They should be looking at other products that this reviewer has reviewed to determine the reviewers tastes and the quality of the reviews. They should be leveraging their own social networks (either in person or technological) before making major purchases, not just relying on hits they find on google. On more then one occasion, the information I received for my friends on FriendFeed is more valuable then any review I've found online.
