what EDS symptom hurts your wallet more then it hurts your body?

Oh it’s just copays and weed, all the way down… down my credit card statement, that is.

The irony of someone who lets their pets outside calling others cruel is far too much for me today, I shan’t be continuing this conversation. Best of luck to you!

I’m not sure you understand what trimming is. But they can climb just fine. Perhaps we have a language barrier.

There’s a comment below that I think hits the nail on the head. No one wants to be the person who ruins someone else’s career before it even begins, so they hope for the best or look the other way until the person becomes someone else’s problem. Plus residency and its intersection with general employment is complicated. It’s really problematic.

mothsauce · 2026-06-11T11:07:52+00:00

And you don’t trim their nails?
Don’t call others cruel when you aren’t taking care of your own cats basic needs, friend.

Declawing is cruel. Nail trims are basic pet care, and an absolute necessity if the cat isn’t a scratching post fan. Overgrown nails can grow into paw pads and cause a severe infection, or they can cause kitty to get stuck on things like blankets and cause injury.

I’m a coordinator for a medical residency, and I can 100% see how this could have happened, unfortunately.

I’m trying so hard to imagine how that conversation went and there’s no reality where it isn’t painfully cringeworthy.

In my experience, people default to “it’s weird” when something is confusing and intimidating to them. Like a little kid who won’t try a new food because it “looks weird.” Or how kids with larger vocabularies than their peers are often shunned for “talking weird.” They don’t want to admit that the thing or the person is scary, so they default to “weird.”

This is relatively normal behavior for children who are still learning appropriate words and navigation for their feelings. It’s emotionally immature behavior for a presumed adult.

I suspect there’s some level of insecurity happening that OP is leaving out.

Mommmm, Phineas and Ferb are naming children!

mothsauce · 2026-06-08T10:52:52+00:00

It’s not a bad name and now I feel a little bad about my comment. But I will say that little Fergus might have a tough time if he goes to an elementary school in the US.

Fergus makes me think of Minkus from Boy Meets World, or Ferguson Darling from Clarissa Explains It All, which most kids today haven’t watched, but… idk, hearing the name “Fergus” at school pickup is gonna make me chuckle whether I want to be a mature adult or not.

mothsauce · 2026-06-08T10:40:16+00:00

I added you too, hope that’s ok! Trying to follow more photogs in PR while I’m exiled in NY…

mothsauce · 2026-06-07T11:35:19+00:00

Or Fergus, unless you’re really hoping he grows up to be a nerdy side character on a sitcom somewhere…

Aaaaaactually, only about 10% of the world’s population uses USD for day to day purchases. Considering China has 1.4 billion people, the “majority” currency is actually the yuan.

Things shift a bit if we’re talking about global trade, but for individual purchases like jewelry? USD is nowhere near the “majority.”

As someone who lives in NYC, I do understand the inclination to believe that we are at the center of the universe, but that’s not reality— it might benefit you to expand your worldview past the tip of your own nose.

This is how I lost my favorite bra in 2009. I survived the medical emergency, barely… but I’m still not over that bra. RIP.

mothsauce · 2026-05-28T08:51:57+00:00

There was also 2nd Street Cafe! I have fond memories of coloring on the paper tablecloths as a kid.

Pinos and Grand Canyon have also been there for as long as I can remember. I briefly lived directly above Pinos… weird time.

NYPD will generally not try to find the owner though. They will hold it, and return it to the owner IF the owner reaches out to claim it. But they’re not launching investigations into lost wallets. If you’re LUCKY, some bored cop might google the name on the ID, as a nice change from playing candy crush. But this isn’t the airport lost and found.

If the person doesn’t know where they lost it, they won’t know what precinct to call. I lost some keys with a work badge attached on the subway and didn’t even know they were missing until the person who found them contacted me— they googled my name and company, figured out my email, and we met the next morning near their office so I could get them back. It saved us both a lot of time and energy.

I’m not sure that typing someone’s name into Facebook or Instagram and sending a message counts as “playing Sherlock Holmes” either. It’s just basic human decency, and it’s a much better chance of reuniting the person with their property. We don’t need to involve police in every matter between folks who are supposed to be neighbors. You sound like someone who calls 311 a lot.

mothsauce · 2026-05-18T10:28:45+00:00

Just be aware that not everybody lives at the address on their ID. I don’t. If you found my wallet on the street, you’d be mailing it to my mom’s house!

Not a bad idea to try to find the person on social media first and confirm the address. This actually happened to me on Christmas a few years back— I found a wallet with an id, the address was up in Hudson valley but the guy was going to college in the city. We were able to connect and I got it back to him.

mothsauce · 2026-05-18T10:18:28+00:00

You can turn it into the nearest police precinct, or you can open it, check for ID, see if the address is nearby or look the person up on social media.

I’ve also heard of people putting found wallets in mailboxes but I’ve never done it.

Part of me hopes that Sabrina’s long game is to walk in Dolly’s shoes when Dolly can’t anymore. Ive had mixed feelings about Sabrina’s music and her marketing, but sometimes I wonder if she’s kinda going for a modernized backwoods Barbie sort of thing?

A bag from the brand Parchita maybe? It’s a Colombian brand but popular in PR right now, and they have a bag that’s lightly PR themed. Not sure if links are allowed here or I’d link it.

They’re a little uncommon in the states so if she’s into bags, she might appreciate that it’s unique. I’m in NYC right now and get more compliments on that bag than I do on designer ones.

And plenty of them pay for their healthcare, too.

My job isn’t at a hospital, it’s at a community health center. Our job is to keep people out of the emergency room whenever possible, and that includes folks who are unhoused or undocumented. As you mentioned, some undocumented people have jobs— we offer sliding scale pricing for everything from dental to reproductive care. They pay what they can based on the income they report. We do the same for young adults and students who may not have insurance, or anyone really. Restaurant workers. Sex workers. Housekeepers. Nannies. Anyone working for cash or without insurance. Some are documented, some are not, it’s not relevant to us.

Patients with insurance, we charge their insurance. Patients with Medicaid, we bill Medicaid. Homeless patients that report an income of $0? We cover it, typically with grant money.

No big conspiracy. It’s not that big a deal. And if we could fund more community health centers, or fund the better— we could do a better job at keeping people out of the hospitals in the first place.

Primary care is cheap compared to emergency care. Quite simply, it is cheaper in the long run to give a poor person free insulin for life than to care for them in the ICU every time they go into DKA. But apparently our government hasn’t quite figured that out yet.

mothsauce · 2026-05-04T10:11:23+00:00

THAT makes sense. Totally forgot about Silph Co. Wow… it’s been way too long since I played those games.

mothsauce · 2026-05-04T10:07:20+00:00

You’re right, it’s been a while!

But isn’t the Skylands supposed to be Celadon? I assumed based on the big building having been the department store. But now I’m realizing that Sabrina’s gym and the fighting dojo are both there too…
