Topic: A new look and new features
Howdee people! Now you can post graphics to your posts :-) Here are some examples below: :kiss: :lol: :nono: :party: :rofl: :smokin: :sniff: :jump: :grad: :chair: :afro: :angel: :dance: :zap: You may have noticed these state forums gaining more and more features since they were launched a few months ago. Today we're putting a new round of improvements into effect. Please feel free to help us test these out. If you find any problems, just click on the "Technical Problems" hyperlink below. Also, please feel free to go through the list of hyperlinks along the left side of this forum and click on each thing there. Recently members have been suggesting that we build things that we already built and put there! :'( :-@ :sniff: Note, there are TWO places to add graphics. First, to the post title. You can insert just one per title. You do that by clicking on an icon to the right of the posting page. Second, you can insert as many icons as you wish into the body of your message, BUT TO DO THIS (FOR NOW AT LEAST) YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY TYPE OUT THE SYMBOL CODE. We can be upgrading to a click-insert system on that later. What do you think about these features? We'll be changing the main site board to incorporate them soon, but have been using these state boards as a type of testing ground. Anyway, please tell us what you think. We're dedicated to better serving our members. If you have suggestions you'd like me to personally see, please click on my name, go to my profile, and click on the "Email me" hyperlink. Also, if you have icons that you would recommend be added to our collection, please email them to [email protected] along with information stating how you didn't violate any copywrite issues to get them. Working together, we're really rocketing towards more and more amazing achievements. Let's give ourselves a big round of applause. Thanks!

Topic: Still in Need
Just want to say thanks to everyone who has helped my friend Jim Shaver. We still have a long way to go raising money for his surgery. Please if you haven't done so, visit his website and read his story. www.helpsaveavoice.com Surgery is scheduled for October 22 in Charleston, WV. He must have all the money by October 21. If everyone would just give 5.00...we would meet the goal in no time at all. God bless you and thanks for everything...continue to pray. Amy Buie Greensboro, NC www.simeons-promise.com

Topic: Please pray for my friend...
Hi everyone, I had my surgery on 8/8/01 and currently I am at goal and doing well. A friend of mine (actually my sweetheart) needs his surgery very badly and his insurance (UHC) will not pay. His church friends and I are trying to raise the money necessary for him to have surgery. Please visit his website...www.helpsaveavoice.com. All you need to do is listen to his voice on the website and you'll know why we need to save his life...and voice. God has already touched so many lives with his voice and his outstanding testimony. I cannot sit on the sidelines and let his doctors perform the tracheotomy on him. Please help if you can, pass along a word of encouragement...and most importantly PRAY that God's will be done in Jimmy's life. Thanks, Amy Buie Greensboro, NC

Topic: RE: Appeal to Insurance Company
Hi Rosalind, I have BC/BS NJ, so I can't tell you what happens in Montana, but it NEVER hurts to appeal. Blue Cross is pretty good with accepting appeals. Write from the heart, show statistical proof as to why you need surgery - even send a picture of yourself in a swimsuit and ask them if they'd like to spend the rest of their life in your body! I had a friend do that who wanted plastic surgery and got denied. (She was approved on the third appeal). Don't give up! Good luck!! Denise

I'm so sorry to hear of your rejection Teresa. Hopefully they'll change that rule in the future!

Topic: I am still fighting my insurance company.
My insurance company rejected second request for surgery. I just don't see what will be gained by writing a third letter. They are right. There is an exclusion clause in the policy for obesity treatment. I don't know how to fight them on this. They can't see me crying.
