My phone bill hit a week early, and despite spending all day dealing with customer service and billing, there's been no headway on getting them to reverse it, so I'm overdrawn. Any money will go towards helping get that squared up so they don't continue to charge me $12 a day or whatever it is for overdraw fees. I could even offer to pay it back/forward when I get paid, as I was expecting to spend the funds, just not until I got them.

Most of my accounts share my name here, or hit me up for details if you prefer. Thanks in advance!

I'll never forget the time a friend stayed the night and we spent something like 4 hours farming that sword. It finally dropped while he was playing, and he immediately went to swap it from Jeff to Poo and equip it.

Something caught my eye as he switched between character inventories though, so I told him to open the inventory again. As soon as he stopped on Paula's page, I confirmed what I thought I had seen a minute ago;

Another Sword of Kings.

And given its earlier position in the overall team inventory, that meant one had already dropped at some point, and we had failed to notice that until we farmed a second one...

We decided to get some sleep pretty soon after that.

Oh wait I don't think he wears shirts much

Cooking and massage, maybe some wood/metal working on the side

My dad once mixed a can of tuna, a can of no-bean chili, and sauerkraut. That's still pretty up there for me

I dunno about you, but my joy is 6 feet under, breathing through a hollow tube and trying to become a seed that sprouts before it dies off for real.

Finally, a cop car that lights itself on fire!

 

"Old school"... well, I guess a lot of old schools WERE segregated...

Not just a racist, but a coward who only has enough shame to not say it out loud but not enough to reconsider the whole situation.

It's even proven to make the line go down. As families have to buy less food to support their kids, grocery stores lower prices to entice shoppers back into spending as much as possible. Wouldn't be shocked to see the big chains beings major opponents of the free lunch groups.

 

Hey y'all. I have a cat that I adopted late last year. Dottie. She's about 11 or 12, so older. Lately she's been eating less and less, and over the weekend that dropped to almost nothing. She needs a vet visit badly. The only vet that would see me on short notice has an $85 fee to see her, plus whatever they decide is necessary for treatment. I have nothing to my name right now, and if they refuse to see her for lack of payment I'm kinda just gonna probably have to watch her waste away and hope she recovers [i know enough about cat health to know that's not likely here] I'm really, really not a huge fan of that prospect, so i'm reaching out for help.

paypal is my username at gmail.com

anything would be welcome and very appreciated

UPDATE

Got her to the vet. I had to accept $700 and change of care, and my ability to pay a fraction of that led to some decently substantial humiliation and embarrassment on my part. They ended up docking some of what they were going to bill, and pointed me to some charities, but I was not able to secure her medication or anything but some fluids to give her.

Her diagnosis is an acute, serious UTI and kidney function is currently impacted. If I can raise the money for the medication, I can get that tomorrow or whenever the money is there. If not, I kind of... just have to get ready to say bye, which is a possibility anyway.

I want to give her the chance to live. I'd like to keep asking for help, but that's a lot. I'll leave this open if anybody wants to keep donating, you'll be helping my cat have the best chance she's got if you do; but I also don't have any real sense of the likelihood of success here, and I'm trying to prepare for the worst.

Getting my meds refilled, most of them are covered by Medicaid but go figure the ones that actually help me feel like life is worth continuing with have costs not entirely covered. It's mostly the ADHD meds, finally found something that works for me so of course it's being held hostage by greedy fucks. If I can raise about $85 in total, I can get another month of being able to focus without breaking down too much, so any help is greatly appreciated. Apparently posting my details is a no-go now, so if you're able to contribute to this, let me know via private message. Thanks to everyone, from the readers to the bumpers to the donaters.

Edit: $40 out of $85 raised, will check/bump in the morning with cat pics.
