Aww! Yay! Just look at that adorable happy pup! So stinkin' cute, oh my goodness! <3

It looks to me like she's got a front-wedgie that she's trying to remedy

Whoa! I have now! What a beautiful little sweetie! <3

Yaaay! I know I'm just a random stranger, so I hope this isn't weird to say, but I am SO proud of you!! <3 I'm the same way with doctors appointments, so I totally get how big of a hurdle it can be to get yourself to actually go. And I'm so glad your doctor is so good!! :D

Wow! These are impressive and super cute! Very well done! I'm jealous of both your skills and your awesome new socks! :)

Whoa! What a fancy, talented kitty! That's both impressive and adorable! :)

I'm so tired of seeing a cute animal meme and then learning it's generative AI slop. :(
I so very loathe what it's done to the Internet (and people and the world in general.) Ugh.

You mean... That's not exactly how everyone else's family Christmas gatherings have been going this entire time?

Aww! Such lovey little cuties!! <3

I didn't know; I didn't make it and I didn't even get a chance to check it out, since it was down. So I had no idea. I'm not surprised, though. At least the sloppage is for a good cause this time, lol.

It's really not. I've even taken an Uber/Lyft to the ER in an emergency before - with money I had beg friends for + a coupon. Then the absurdly high ER bills went to collections, because we didn't have the Medicaid expansion here and I'm disabled and couldn't pay them since I can't work, and now I have debt collectors hounding me all the time.

When I was a kid and my dad was real sick, my parents got sued for unpaid medical bills we couldn't afford when my dad nearly died and had to be revived and intubated and shit. They garnished my dad's already piddly wages (mom's disabled, or they would have garnished hers, too) and they had to declare bankruptcy.

This country is such a mess.

How cute! Here's an article about the practice that I found while looking to see if this was true or not. It is, and it's adorable!
