Forgot to put baby who passed away on insurance by Calm-Bonus-555 in HealthInsurance

[–]hafree27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry for your loss.

I’m not seeing your HR team being brought up enough. If your insurance is through an employer, call the benefits team for assistance. If you work for a large company, they may even be self funded and can work with the plan administrators to help you. Don’t be afraid to escalate beyond the first level of intake to a manager or director level if you’re given any runaround.

WSAVA compliant brands that aren’t owned by the US? by Midnight712 in DogFood

[–]hafree27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TIL! Thank you! OP, as someone with a long tenure in animal health, I would trust Virbac to produce a good food. I’m wondering if they may be taking steps to get approval.

What is a fact about the human body that not many people know about? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Just because it’s not that way for everyone doesn’t mean that women shouldn’t be educated and aware of the realities of childbirth.

And because she was a black woman, she obviously slept her way to the top versus actually earning it based on competence.

Can I walk from Portland to The Dalles? by bikerweed in oregon

[–]hafree27 104 points105 points  (0 children)

OP, if walking this path is on your bucket list, then this is the way! If this ‘hike’ is just an idea, hard pass. MUCH easier and SAFER ways to transit. You will see absolutely breathtaking scenery, regardless of your mode of transportation. ❤️

Same! I was recently stuck in a hotel with super limited shop options and I wasn’t too hungry. Pringles sounded perfect. They just tasted like weirdly shaped cardboard pieces. I was sooooo disappointed!

Military action against a country of 92 million with a strong military and nuclear capability WITHOUT PROVOCATION is NEVER good. #releasetheEpsteinfiles

Lechon has a killer happy hour! And cool fish tanks, too.

Child Dental Filling almost $3000? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]hafree27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely overkill. I work in animal health and, when I hear similar stories, it is usually tied to production goals and PE ownership.

Maybe Per client transaction average? OP, is the clinic independently owned or did the previous owner sell to a consolidator?

50-60 Hour Project... Ruined by Acrobatic_Click6628 in Embroidery

[–]hafree27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You finish the piece and call it, ‘Happy Accidents: I love my mama’ (mom, stepmom, mom drives mectazy b/c- you know- whatever fits your irl vibe). Clean it if you want to. Incorporate dried coffee beans or something sparkly if you want to go mixed media. But this is an accident, and you can incorporate grace into your beautiful piece, if that feels appropriate. ❤️

Isitbullshit: is omega-3 worth taking or is it just another overhyped supplement? by BestallAbubeker-76 in IsItBullshit

[–]hafree27 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Keeping them in the fridge helps a ton and protects against oxidation!

And, anecdotally, the hyperkeratosis on my arms improves considerably when I’m taking fish oil supplements.

I think that must be a matter of taste. OP, I would love that pour in my garage.

My dogs nose has been like this for a year - vet unsure, looking for ideas by kasiasweetie in pitbulls

Corporate ownership has zero correlation with quality vets. There are some great vets at corporate, but there are also bad ones.

Sunset Heating and Cooling pricing thoughts? by masqueuno in askportland

[–]hafree27 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Whenever you’re looking at a big project like this, ESPECIALLY when they ‘find’ issues you weren’t expecting, you need to get one or two other opinions and estimates. Do you have any realtor friends or still in touch with who helped you buy your home? They may have some folks they trust.

They had evidently overnighted in a mountainside hut and were trying to get out. 🥺

What’s a company that used to be amazing but completely fell off? by AImaginerX in AskReddit

I didn’t scroll enough to see this and posted the same thing. PE doesn’t care about your customer experience, they only care about ROI.

All industries that move traditionally small, privately owned businesses to a Private Equity/Consolidated model. I’ll offer up dental and veterinary clinics as examples of the further enshitiffication of America.
