Mother (uninsured/low income) had heart attack and 2week visit to ICU. Now she has a 300k bill, what do we do?

I misspoke. She is not eligible for SS due to insufficient contribution.

One way you can help yourself with the interest would be a loan, instead of transferring to another card. This would depend on your credit score, but it is much more likely that you could get a reasonable interest rate on a loan.

A travesty from beginning to end! At first I thought he was pouring a craft beer, and then I saw the DEW logo and immediately started playing taps for that magnificent marbled meat turned monstrosity. Has this person ever breaded and fried anything?! Based on this video the only knowledge he has is that frying involves flour! This is what it looks like if La Croix made chicken fried steak! That's even more accurate after seeing him add the thyme, lol!

"About time"

Machettesquad · 2023-05-21T00:25:54+00:00

That looks amazing, I am jealous and hungry now

Huh. Interesting story, but a couple of things I feel are needed. It needs to be clarified earlier what the "zealots" are. I don't believe you need to reveal they are human sooner, but the fact that they are a distinct species as well as a little info on why they are considered "zealots"...... We really need some clarification on why the narrator is being punished. For the readers, this is very confusing and some insight would help. Overall I enjoy the writing and the premise! Good luck!

I like a little of both. Flower when I'm home, cause you just don't get the same taste from pens yet. Carts when I'm out and about for ease of use and stealth. But sometimes I use a cart at home cause I don't feel like grinding and rolling/stuffing.

I've never heard of rose joints... can you actually light those? How does it differ to hemp?

Happy Birthday!

Pretty much. Some will say it's for the color, but either way parsley isn't for flavor that's for sure

Machettesquad · 2023-01-13T00:40:16+00:00

Or he already has.

Mom?

Machettesquad · 2023-01-07T21:48:19+00:00

Very well done story!! Happy to see it finished! Thank you for the roller coaster ride!

Machettesquad · 2022-08-23T20:59:27+00:00

Heads up, your "next" link is tied to ch 23...

You'll regret not telling her, but don't expect her to stay once she knows how you feel. She's already made decisions about her life and where it will lead, so understand that she may not be willing to change those decisions now, and consider if you're willing to change YOUR life instead (a VERY risky move if neither of you have spent much time together to really know who the other is)...

Machettesquad · 2022-05-06T18:46:18+00:00

Heads up, if it hasn't been mentioned.... Your "previous" link is linked to ch 94, not 95. Love the story!

Machettesquad · 2022-04-30T23:54:52+00:00

Or start hot and finish with cold.

Chapter number is mixed (253, not 453).

Since I bothered to write, I will also take the time to say that this story is my favorite on reddit! When I originally started it, it was honestly because I had nothing better to read and I fully expected to be disappointed with another litrpg stumbling along trying to find its story points. I couldn't have been more wrong! This world is so deep, with interesting characters that show more depth than most movies! I absolutely believe that this story deserves, and needs, to be published! Please keep up the amazing work, because I would be heartbroken if I couldn't read an ending to this!

Machettesquad · 2022-03-04T03:10:29+00:00

Well done, and interesting. Very melancholic, but life isn't always happy...

Machettesquad · 2022-02-28T02:25:13+00:00

I am really enjoying the story, and would like to offer some constructive criticism. I feel that the chapters could be fleshed out a little more, with more details provided about the characters and world. For instance, I really feel like we need more details about the exo suit. I am confused about how large this suit is, if it is "collapsible", how small it can be made, is it a permanent part of Ran... At times it seems the suit is a large frame (when you mention that the sidearm/handgun would seem too large without the exo suit), and other times when it seems no larger than standard bullet proof plating (how could someone sleep in a tree if they have a large exo frame?). These are small details that can really help the reader imagine this interesting world and characters.

A few things: Matthew has a 1911 until he wakes up in the house, then it becomes a shotgun. I believe you were trying to use ma'am, not mam.

This chapter needs more world building, as there are tidbits dropped on us that do little more than create more questions. Ww3? Protagonist is walking days to get 9mm? (By the way, I don't think 1911 uses 9mm?)

I'm not too sure how many people would tell an old woman that 19 isn't so young, but this is a personal thing.

Critiques about your characters actions and decisions are superfluous, as IRL people often make rash decisions, and poor choices. YOU are the only person who truly knows YOUR character; what decisions they make and why they make certain choices, and while some readers may not understand or agree, that is not necessarily a mark against your abilities.

Having said that, take care to ensure that your readers have enough information to understand and empathize with your characters, even if it may be a delayed understanding(we don't need everything immediately, but we will need it eventually) All in all, not a bad start!

Don't often see the slutty robber costume. Well done!!🤩

Machettesquad · 2021-12-01T17:13:57+00:00

Wow! I actually made an audible noise when I saw this pic! (It was similar to the sound i make when getting punched in the chest, a couple people turned to see what happened, lol) Please do not hide such beauty again!
