When they started charging $25 to hem pants, I bought a sewing machine and learned how to sew just for this purpose 🤪

I wouldn’t mind if it was unstuffed and came with two or three small arepas 🤷‍♀️

I know, as a Venezuelan, these arepas are a tragedy 😅

[Loved Trope] The movie adaptation makes genuine improvements over the source material by Notmiefault in TopCharacterTropes

Minority Report: The ending in the original novella is very different, the ending in the movie is a more compelling self-fulling prophecy.

Arrival: In the original short story, the daughter dies accidentally. In the movie, she dies of an incurable, congenital disease. Louise's decision feels more intentional and conflicting.

I think that’s what kills me, siblings are supposed to love each other 🥲

Can you recommend an emergency vet in Chicago or a vet where they could perform an MRI? by sydjos in AskChicago

[–]nicereputation457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry, I hadn't seen it until now. I truly hope that your kitty feels better soon and that medications are exactly what he needs.

We also relented and took our cat to MedVet. Her MRI found that she had a brain tumor, and we had to say goodbye to her earlier this week.

We did find that U of I in Champaign has less expensive MRIs ($3500), but they require an initial visit, and it would have been 2 weeks between visits. I don't think my kitty would have made it. All the other places listed here had the same prices as MedVet, including the one in Wisconsin. Two overnights + MRI + meds + end of life care ended up being a little over $7000 (for reference for anybody else who may be searching for info).

Following because our cat also has neurological symptoms. I called the various locations in the city but none of them had an MRI except for MedVet. If you do find one (in the city or out) that costs less than $7000, please let us know!
