  • My mini goldendoodle is a medium sized dog, but she uses her big girl voice when people are nearby. She’s not even aggressive or trying to be threatening, she just barks like she’s twice the size she is. She picked up the behavior from my parents’ anxious great shepherd. I’m trying to get her to stop, but it’s been hard.








  • See, the thing is, you can just ignore medical debt for the most part. I was told by the hospital billing people, while panicking over finances, that I can pay like $1/month and say that’s all I can afford and the companies just have to deal with it. You can also just ignore it outright for 7 years and then it’s gone forever. It can fuck with your credit if you do that, but it is an option.

    The cost of shit is still bad though. It’s so dumb



  • I just got hardware put in my ankle. From what I’ve seen of the costs so far, I’m guessing the whole ordeal, from the moment paramedics arrived at my house to when I am fully healed and finished with physical therapy, will cost about $100k. The doctor cutting my ankle open was billed for $16k. That was just the surgery. No post-op meds or anything were included in that. I had an ambulance ride, an ER visit, a 2 day stay in the hospital, and an outpatient pre-op visit before the surgery even happened.
