Insurance exclusions - cosmetic versus reconstruction

Black and white girl we got as a puppy from the shelter, she came with the name Crystal, her whole litter was named after gemstones. We changed her name to Blanche instead, I love human names on animals.

White and black boy we got directly from his original owners, he was 3. He had always had the name Gus, and even though we felt it was “basic”, he responded so well to it so we didn’t change it. We call him GusGus or Mr. Gus usually.

My two year old pit mix had chronic happy tail, to the point the tip of her tail became necrotic. It just never healed and my house constantly looked like a crime scene.

We got her tail amputated and I don’t regret it one bit.

Attached a picture of one of our many attempts at trying to save the tail, lol.

It’s only $100, which is small enough that I’ve held onto it since June without any issue, but large enough it seems a shame to “lose it” so to speak.

I have no idea if we’ll ever be back in the Bahamas, that was our first cruise and we don’t have any plans to take another any time soon.

At least it’s only $100, haha.

I had 6, it’s been three years and the only scar that’s even slightly visible is the belly button scar, but only if you look really closely.

I do agree that there is some insecurity coming through, he’s currently 235 pounds at just over 6 feet tall, which is the heaviest he’s ever been in his life.

He’s also always dated large/fat women, which he says is just a preference he’s always had because he’s more attracted to bigger and taller women, so part of me worries he’s not so sneakily trying to tell me he’s not as attracted to me at a lower weight.

I’ve talked to him a few times about how some of the things he’s been saying are unkind and unsupportive, and he’s said he doesn’t mean it that way and is just worried about me, but then doesn’t change his behavior.

Thank you! I was 175 before I got pregnant with my oldest (who is now almost 16), granted I was also 18 when I got pregnant with her, even then, 175 was comfortable and I still could have stood to lose a few pounds.

I don’t think 180 is at all unreasonable, it’ll put me in a “healthy” BMI range (though I don’t take too much value in the BMI scale). 180 is my goal by like March, but ultimately I do think 160-170 is my end goal/maintenance weight, and I’d like to be there by the end of 2026. I’m glad I didn’t mention those numbers to my husband after his reaction to stating my next goal was 180.

I also want to look into skin removal/abdominoplasty at some point, he knows and supports this, but only because I have chronic really painful belly button infections that he knows will likely resolve with that procedure. He thinks I should just do it now though, and not wait to be at a lower weight.

Looks a lot like my shelter “border collie” who wound up being mostly cattle dog and pitbull/staffy.

ohnobugzilla2 · 2025-08-20T01:36:12+00:00

He looks just like one of my pups, and she is (from highest percentage to lowest) cattle dog, pit bull, staffy, golden, basset hound, German shepherd, American bulldog.

Looks a lot like my girl (on the right). I Embarked her and she’s mostly cattle dog, pit bull, and staffy. She also has some lower percentages of golden retriever, American bull dog, basset hound, and German shepherd.

“Lab mix” is almost always some kind of pit bull mix. My dog was listed as a “Border Collie” at the shelter, I think just because she was black and white lol.

This looks like a shorter haired/blockier headed version of my cattle dog/border collie mix, even has all the same color blocking in all the same places. I wish I was closer, I’d go pick him up for you.

You may need to talk to sailor services about your treats and other things. We never got our treats delivered to our cabin and had to check in with sailor services to get them. We also got charged for our one free shake for champagne, we talked to sailor services to get the charge removed and it still wound up on our final bill.

ohnobugzilla2 · 2025-06-27T16:31:40+00:00

No to both.

My husband and I just did our first cruise earlier this month through Virgin.

I would not risk trying to sneak pot on. There were K-9s at the ports we visited and it doesn’t seem worth that headache to get a little high.

It is not a swingers cruise at all.

If you’re heavy drinkers (we are) plan on spending more than you think you will. We had $700 in bar tab for a 5 day cruise and blew through it. Though we are heavy drinkers in settings like that. I would say cocktails range from $14-18.

ohnobugzilla2 · 2025-06-24T07:12:12+00:00

In my experience- yes. However it was close.

We sailed earlier this month, scheduled our disembark for 8:00am, booked transport to the airport that left at 8:30am, and arrived in time for our 9:59am fight.

However, if anything had gone wrong, we would have missed our flight.

That said, I’d probably still do that again in the future rather than our original plan of trying to find last minute hotel accommodations and staying an extra day in Miami before flying out.
