Get it off your chest ! 😡

God bless you brother

This is exactly why I quite taking PPIs

Wish I could, tried once and ended up back in surgery. Although the gastro and I came to an understanding that I would not be taking the latest super hi strength version.

I broke free by using silver fern. It’s been 6 months. Was told it takes a solid year to recover from the PPIs
I only took the PPIs for 3 years but they started effecting me negatively. Brain fog and fatigue was getting out of control. As soon as I quit and started the silver fern I started getting my head back.
My dad took them for like 20 years. He had a small hole in his gut that had to get repaired. I gave him some silver fern and he no longer takes the pill too

Looking that up now.

The reflux one?

I’ve never thought or seen it like this but it’s like a person in your position is just a middle man.

One government branch gives you money. Another branch taxes you. Then other branches take what you have left.

The government isn’t Giving me a damn thing :confounded:

The government isn’t giving you a damned thing since they’re supporting big pharma supporters for them. China has Biden by the short hairs and let them float a balloon over us earlier this year, post balloon:
Canada is on fire, flooding in NE, every night for a month tv jacked by weather alerts in SC, @California_Refugee ate up by southern weather… Nothing to see here, move along.

My daughter moved in with her boyfriend. He’s a college student.

He’s a bright kid, and he works hard. He was offered a job with a major employer in the DFW area and turned it down because he didn’t like the idea of working on a production line. It paid twice what I make,

He’s supposed to be looking out for my little girl. I’m kinda irritated at him. My wife has wisely advised me to keep my mouth shut about it when she visits this weekend.

I foresee drinking beer.

That money is absolutely yours and you earned it. It came straight out of your checks. It most certainly isn’t a handout.

SSDI is ran by the Social Security Administration which is the Federal government. They are “giving” your money back. That’s what I meant by one government branch is giving it to you.

The IRS is taxing you from the moment you wake to the moment you sleep.

Big Pharma is taking whats left. I know most will say that Big Pharma isn’t a branch of the government. All I’d say is I beg to differ. Thats a rabbit hole in itself.

OUCH! They are literally trying to kill people at those rates! Although, their goal seems to be to do it as slowly as possible to maximize profits.

Had a great day on sunday! Woke up, went for my 10 mile bike ride. Started great, 2 young girls in there 20’s pull up next to me, and say you hot for an old man! Sayed thanks, 5 mins later it started to pour! Got soaked! Got to a crossing. Guy takes stop sign in white truck almost nails me. Stops raining. Start getting attacked by mosquitos. Start hauling ■■■. Get away from the critters. Then rear tire gets a nail. Totally flat 2 miles from home. Starts to pour again. Walked all the way back, completely drenched! Get to the crossing a block from my house! Still raining! Waiting to cross the street! Guy in white truck that nearly kills me! Pulls up at the same crossing waiting for light to change! Hes looking at me and me at him. He waives and leaves. Dont think he even knew, he almost nailed me earlier. Got home! End of my sunday morning!!! Uffff!

My son sent that to me this morning.

True. Took me too long to realize that. It’s one of the main reasons I agreed with the wife and up and left my old life/lifestyle/career and started over again.

I gave my all to my job so I could be successful and provide for “my family”. One day I realized “my family” were complete strangers to me and vise versa.

He and I are very close and he knows (a little) about my struggles where I’m employed. “You’ll produce that baby in 5 months and start on another one right after.” has never worked.

Glad you got out of the rat race brother.
Nothing is worth losing yourself or your family😁

Good, fast or cheap pick two it’s always been a law.

Murphys law…

My side by side. Cut in the side wall from riding around Monday.
Had to order a new tire that is now on.

Grrrr :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :confounded: :rage:
