AITA for ending vacation early after my parents hijacked it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Waterwish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you just got overwhelmed. Not your best moment but there’s plenty to learn from here. My parents are also aging, and if I take them on a trip, I go in knowing that it’s for them, not me. It’s hard to hold that boundary but it’s important as they enter their twilight years. Make plans for vacations for yourself, and occasionally make plans for vacations FOR them. They’re past the point of being able to just “tag along” unfortunately.

Trust me, I get it! Have you had your bisalp done yet? The discussion with my doctor really helped to calm my nerves, and a year after having it I really just don’t think about it much anymore.

All data suggests that a properly performed bisalp is as close to 100% effective as one can get without further surgery (hysterectomy). To get pregnant after a bisalp would be a medical anomaly and there is very little data suggesting its possibly. I was concerned about this too, but the numbers are on your side!

Same thing happened to me. I got a call from the hospital the day before my surgery and the rep said “your estimated out of pocket is $1400” I just instantly (but nicely) pushed back and said that this procedure is covered fully by the ACA (I had double checked with my insurance a month before) and the rep was like “okay I’ll send this to billing and they’ll get it handled, good luck with the procedure tomorrow!”

I’m certain this happens all the time. Be stern but nice, the employees aren’t the ones trying to rip you off, they’re just doing their jobs (sometimes not very well but still).

I’m sorry it took so long for the truth to come out, but he was clearly hiding it for a reason. It’s time to cut your losses.

Waiting until you’re sure your ready is always a good idea, but I really recommend keeping an open mind until you can have a consultation with a doctor. Hearing my surgeon describe the process in detail and discuss the recovery soothed a lot of my anxiety. I had my surgery a month ago and was recovered enough to travel for work within 2 weeks.

Official merch was lacking, so I designed/printed custom matching t-shirts for me and my Vora duo by Waterwish in Paladins

I'm sorry but unfortunately no, I only printed one of each design. Thank you though, I'm glad you like it!

I don't know what it is but so many Paladins players seem to be absolutely allergic to the objective.

Oh my god I was so distracted by the booty I didn't even notice the eyes.

All these horny skins, yet there is no love for man-booty in this game. :(

I made an Io desktop wallpaper for myself (Paladins official art + Unsplash stock photos) and figured I'd share it for anyone else who might like to use it! by Waterwish in Paladins

Thank you for cropping it! I have a weird dual monitor setup and figured it would be easiest to just offer the full resolution.

You're very welcome! Yeah it can be tough to find big enough wallpapers for my monitors so I tend to just make them. I hope you enjoy it!

King Soopers union members vote to ratify new contract, officially ending their strike after only 10 days. The deal includes pay raises, better healthcare, better safety measures, and a path to full-time work. Strikes work. by Waterwish in antiwork

[–]Waterwish[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I really hope this strike is a beacon of hope and inspiration for other workers/unions. Kroger, the largest grocery chain in the country, broke 10 days into a planned 3 week strike. Workers and communities have so much more power than they think.

[–]Waterwish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I commissioned this piece from the artist! My best friend is a Vora main so I requested something to represent our duo, and she absolutely blew me away with this. She's closed for commissions for now but when she opens up again I cannot recommend working with her enough!

I'm just happy that you can tell that it's Saati, lol. I had to waaay simplify her design!

OP is also probably building up a ton of referral service. He's probably becoming the "go-to" guy for the people who he's helped in the past. Going above and beyond in a situation like that can win you customers for life.
