That's not a reason to deny claims for cancer treatment. If fraud is their worry, have a fraud team to investigate, don't cut off coverage when your life saving operation runs an hour past the allotted time.
I had insurance from my job, and also insurance on my husband's plan because he forgot to cancel it in time. I put in a claim for a leg X-ray after falling. They refused the claim, and only after reading the small print did I realize it was because they had the wrong primary insurance on file. I didn't know that was a thing, just figured two = double plans. The letter they sent seemed to actively avoid explaining why I was refused.
I text him a photo of her being warm inside and he basically just replied "I have that same sweater" and nothing else. I can't imagine being that careless.
My dilemma was that it was still technically someone's pet, even if I didn't agree with how they cared for her. She really does love being outside, so until it got cold it was hard to say she was being treated badly, he had been putting food out and left the window cracked for her to come back. He only moved last week, so things have kinda escalated since then.
The update is that he responded this morning saying she was ours! I'll be making the vet appointment today to get her all fixed up. It's going to be hard to transition her to indoor life as she was feral and then had two prior owners who let her roam, but we'll try and get her there over time.
Struggles! We have an indoor cat named Snuggles who is the exact same coloring, so it kinda happened organically over the years as we spotted her around the neighborhood. Strugs for short.
We have muffins and crumpets. Muffins are like little bready patty cake things, kinda dusty on the outside. Crumpets are the ones with all the holes in that kinda feel rubbery to the touch. Both are stinkin delicious.
Mortgage and three cats (plus a clingy stray and three chickens outside). Luckily the husband has a good job so we're ok.
I always try to live my life imagining this all being a memory to my elderly future self, and thinking about how I'd be reacting to it. Am I feeling strong pride or regret about my choices? Is there something that feels like it matters right now that will totally be forgettable in the grand scheme? It really helps me when I encounter difficult decisions, and it's how I realized that I need some time to realign myself with the things that bring me joy.
Best of luck to you, I have a sense (knowing nothing about you) that elderly you is SO freaking pumped that you're doing this.
Congratulations! I am working out my notice period of my job right now, I am taking December to regroup and will begin job hunting in January. It feels so liberating!
As a Brit we were always taught to gently disturb leaf piles before jumping in them or throwing them into the fire, just in case hedgehogs were in there. The habit has stuck, although I now just rake our leaves up onto the mulched beds and leave them. The chickens will then pull them apart and consume any living thing unfortunate enough to live there.
The problem is, I only ever see furries when they're doing weird kink shit. I go to regional burns, and this last one had a small furry audience, not all from the same group. One day I was exploring on my bike and saw one of them doing a shadowbox strip tease. Later, another one (again, from a different group) wander into our camp wearing a diaper and holding a baby bottle. I know that the burn culture can be a little more sex forward, but I only seem to encounter furries at burns, and furries at burns only ever seem to be doing kink stuff.
Very accurate. We have the Quest 1 and 2, both just collecting dust now, I'm not even sure if they would work anymore. We set up a VR gaming night with a few friends who also had headsets, played Beat Saber and Synth Riders a bunch, then got bored and decided to explore a new game where you walk about and chop wood and whatnot. Five minutes of that and I was so dizzy I almost threw up. It made me realize that the type of game you can play on these is very very limited. I did get a lot of mileage from Synth Riders, so I'm not saying it's all worthless tech, but we probably could have got a better ROI just buying a regular console with the money.
