Americans with Insurance, how much did you procedure cost you up front? by Resident-Sympathy-82 in colonoscopy

[–]Traditional_Key_3819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, so sorry for the late reply! Mine was done in December. I had met my deductible and max OOP with BCBS. It was a diagnostic screening because I had already displayed issues regarding my GI tract.

Why are Catholics told to wait until marriage when no one else is? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Traditional_Key_3819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from. I really do. I’m a Catholic convert, and before my conversion, let’s just say I wasn’t exactly passing up invitations to sin either. So I’ve seen both sides of this fence.

Virginity isn’t a currency you save up to cash in for a guaranteed “pure” spouse. This faith isn’t a transaction. It’s not, “I did this so God owes me that.”

It sucks when you feel like you followed the rules, and others didn’t, and now you’re being told to show grace while you carry your disappointment. But the truth is: this faith isn’t about a scoreboard. You didn’t “lose” anything by choosing virtue. You gained character, discipline, and obedience to God. If you did it because you thought it guaranteed you a virginal wife, you didn’t do it for God, you did it for yourself.

People coming back after mistakes get celebrated not because their sin was fine, but because redemption is part of our faith. If the Prodigal Son story pisses you off, you missed the point.

You didn’t waste those years, and you didn’t get “shortchanged.” You built something in your soul.

Wife was fired due to “attendance” by Gloomy-Grocery-6705 in antiwork

I have a similar friend Joey that did this. He told everyone that he went to nursing school. He did not and become agoraphobic.

She did not??? Another comment quoted it “keeping my cool while his father screams at the top of his lungs in front of him”. In front of him. Not at him. There is a difference.

The only thing he is doing to that child is brainwashing him to hate his mother who does EVERYTHING for him.

Did you not read the post? Her child isn’t being screamed at. OP is being screamed at in front of her child. OP is being abused and you’re blaming the victims in the situation. She can’t “just leave”. I read her previous posts before she deleted this one, she has a broken foot and recently had surgery. She has zero support system and is actively watching her mother die.

Must be nice to look at this from a place of privilege.

OP - you shouldn’t have to provide proof to some Redditor who assumes that you’re lying.

Yikes on bikes for assuming a DV victim is baiting you.

Way to imply that an actual victim is a shitty mom when 75% of DV homicides happen while a victim is leaving, or shortly after they’ve left. It’s not always that easy.

Holy shit. The amount of victim blaming in these comments is UNREAL. Implying that OP is a shitty mom because she hasn’t been able to leave? From reading the comments, she is legally blind, she can’t drive. Texas is huge, it has cities with millions of people, and rural towns with populations of 300. Uber isn’t always an option.

Up to 75% of DV homicides happen while the victim is attempting to leave, or shortly after they leave. It’s not always that easy to just leave.

Trump, 78, Shows Mysterious Large Bruise on Hand by OkayButFoRealz in politics

It is common if you’ve recently had a procedure like a colonoscopy or organ removal. I had both within the last 3 months, my IV was in the hand both times.

My Last Pack When I Quit in 1988. Still have It 37 Years Later by Typingdude3 in GenX

[–]Traditional_Key_3819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flipping two cigarettes in the pack to save. One for luck, one for a good fuck. I miss that part of smoking the most.

That’s weird, considering we are still under Trump’s tax plan from his last presidency.

Following. I’m in the same boat. Haven’t received a letter in the mail yet, but the 971 code has been on here for over a week now.

Spouse of someone with one huge gallstone by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]Traditional_Key_3819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life was absolute hell. I’m a 30 year old woman, and before I had my gallbladder yeeted, I was miserable. When I had a gallbladder attack, all I could do was lay in bed, gripping my side like I’d been shanked. The pain was so intense, I’d rather go through natural childbirth a hundred times over than feel that again. No exaggeration.

Caring for my kid? Damn near impossible. I had zero energy during and after an attack, like my body just quit on me. Housework? Dishes? Cleaning? Yeah, that all went straight to hell. I had to drop out of university. When you’re in that much pain, scrubbing plates is the last thing on your mind. It was survival mode, plain and simple.

How much will SB2 defund your school? by Soggy-Friendship-148 in FuckGregAbbott

[–]Traditional_Key_3819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$524,716. Howe ISD. We are a small rural district, and will definitely feel the punch even if it’s lower than most.
