Speechless Close To Home: Real Families, Real IEPs
bros402 replied to Drogo's topic in Speechless [V]
Yeah. I had to deal with Social Security last year because they claimed they overpaid me $26,000. Turned out they *did* overpay me by $2600 (I was in college, was saving a chunk of backpay for the tuition for the next semester). They had updated their software like the day before the letter was going to go out and it decided to move the decimal point, making $2600.00 into $26000.0. Got that letter in March. They just resolved it Wednesday (I filled out all of the paperwork back in April, but they lost it when they were doing their "annual office rearrangement"). I should get a letter in the next 2 weeks. With Medicaid, I am not touching that check - especially since they won't give anything in writing. The way it works in NJ is medicaid contracts out to HMOs, so I called the HMO, and they said that they cannot take money. It's weird. Multiply disabled is a good catchall - it was my IEP category PreK-12. It's pretty useful. It's sort of fun when I go to a doctor, they ask about medical conditions, I say I have multiple disabilities, they give a look like "Haha, you probably just mean you wear glasses and maybe have ADHD." Then I rattle the list off and sometimes, eyes bug out. It is fun at this point in my life. I usually educate my doctors on something my first visit - usually about what dygraphia is. Education helps remove the stigma associated with disabilities. I have epilepsy, my dad had epilepsy (His went away) - for years, he would tell me not to tell doctors I had epilepsy, because then they would think I was [r-word] - because when he was younger, if he mentioned he had epilepsy, doctors would start to treat him with "kid gloves" -
Elementary earned CBS something liked 80 million dollars last year due to syndication cost & airing rights around the world - heard that when people were like "So you canceled POI but kept Elementary, even though both had very similar ratings?"

Yeah, i'm fine with disabled and when referring to someone with a disability, I err on the side of person first language, because that is just the nice thing to do. Today I had the fun time of trying to get medicaid to take back money that they overpaid because my primary insurance overcharged them. Medicaid told me to just cash the check, but they won't give me anything in writing saying that. I am going to have fun next week, I guess. -
Mike would be a horrible teacher. He is definitely the kind of guy who would go "Well, I remember everything and that is how I learned it, so why don't you guys do it that way?" Since he never had to LEARN how to do it, just apply things he remembered

That was a decent finale. Frank died in a car accident. Also I am thinking the way that Robbie died in the original timeline was that his blood type was marked down incorrectly - remember when they brought him to the hospital and they said his blood type was wrong? What if that happened in 1996 for some reason and nobody caught it?
-
Maybe you can get a neuropsych & neurologist to coordinate and try to fit him into one of the categories insurance requires?
-
Do you think that when they kill off William, we'll learn how Jack died? Or have flashbacks to the day Jack died?

That was a very enjoyable episode.
-
Yeah, but it was fun for plot purposes.

Michael said he stole a good Janet. -
Maybe the Deacon didn't kill his wife in the original timeline?

The episode was great. Also, I am shipping Tahani & Eleanor. -
This episode was very enjoyable. I can sympathize with the hiding from germs/sick - I have to do it now that I have a weakened immune system and I had to do it as a child - every winter from 1999 (9 years old) to 2014 I would get a respiratory ailment of some kind, usually asthmatic bronchitis - I would take anywhere from 1-3 months to have it fully go away. I liked how they mixed up the character pairings in this episode. Always good for a series to stretch itself and explore the possible pairings early on. I would like to meet JJs doctors - I would be shocked if he didn't have a neurologist - and I bet his pediatrician can't wait for the DiMeo kids to get to 18, since I imagine Maya hounds them about everything.

Maybe Richard was younger before the first time they tried time travel - and he was rapidly aged, which is why he was in the hospital for so long?
-
With how large the school is, I would not be surprised if they had 7-8 & 9-12 on the same campus.
-
I am wondering if they will address the impact of the previous episode during the next episode... because killing Cornwallis would have a massive impact on history.

She was running a middle school track meet, I believe.

I thought they showed up as old on the bar security footage.

I hope that claims adjuster got fired. Jimmy works at an airport - whoever hires him probably have good insurance. If it is TSA, then it would be government health insurance, which is great. Government plans err on the side of Cadillac plans - so that might explain it. My parents had a lot of medical costs (due to me) before my mom got her current job - great insurance. Now instead of taking state & federal medical expense deductions, we just take the state one (In NJ, everything over 2% of AGI is a deduction)

Maya thought she could just butter up Stu (Or whatever he name was) to get them a new wheelchair

That episode was hilarious - also, "I love you too, egg!"
-
That episode was hilarious. The girl who spoke as if everything was a question made me crack up. Having an insurance person? I can understand that - whenever I have a tricky claim, I get the number of whoever I get when I call member services, then deal with them. JJ quoting Tiny Tim was hilarious - I thought it was going to be the line of the episode, but then Kenneth narrated the end.

I watched this on Saturday with my parents. Today (Sunday), we were like "Huh, what did we watch yesterday?" "I dunno, do you remember?" "Nope." "Huh." After looking through the DVR to see what we deleted, we saw Sleepy Hollow. Super forgetful is better than last season with all of its... head-scratching moments.

Ooh, definitely rewatch, there was some good stuff
