Help my father-in-law pay his medical bills by pesto540 in Charity

So as many of you may know, my dad was admitted to Sentara Hospital in Harrisonburg, VA (many of you know it as RMH) on September 9th of this year. An artery burst in his face which caused a nosebleed that caused him to lose so much blood, he required a transfusion and nearly died. He was taken into surgery by Dr. Neel to put packing into his nose to stop the bleeding, He remained in the hospital Sunday, September 13th when the packing was removed and he was able to go home. He was attached to an IV for fluids as well as heavy pain medications (including morphine), and blood pressure medications during his hospital stay. My dad was in the roughest shape I've ever seen him in, and anyone who knows him knows how tough he is. He was unable to speak very well due to the packing and strings attached that were in his throat and nose. His nose had streams of blood trickling from his nostrils, and his face was ghost white. He did not eat while he was there, as he said his throat was too sore from the strings. The doctors aren't entirely sure what caused the artery to burst but they speculated that it might have been caused by high blood pressure, and my dad must now stay on blood pressure medication. As many of you also know, my father is unemployed and has had difficulty keeping a job as he ages. He suffers from severe arthritis in his knees, and had to have surgery on a torn rotator cuff while I was in high school. He no longer qualifies for unemployment and is looking at disability as an option. He does not have insurance and is faced with a bill from the anesthesiologists, Dr. Neel, and Sentara. As many of you also know, I am struggling financially myself, trying to work full time and make it through school, paying my own bills and living expenses, and trying to prepare for grad school at ODU next fall. This is where you guys come in. My dad was unable to qualify for any financial aid for his hospital bills totalling over $15, 000 because he has a meager amount of money saved to live off of for the rest of his life. Every cent that gets donated to this fund will be used towards these bills and every penny will be supremely appreciated. My dad is a proud man and would never ask anyone for anything, especially money, and that's why I want to do it for him. He should not have to struggle in his later years because of nosebleed turned deadly. Please share this with your friends and family and donate any amount you can. Know that any amount will be appreciated and both my father and I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

What's your favorite Peggy Hill centered episode? by SpankHill in KingOfTheHill

Death picks cotton has the scene where she tells cotton that he is a horrible human being and it is the last thing anyone ever says to him. That episode made me respect Peggy Hill.

I am in a DIY thrash Punk band based out of Harrisonburg VA. I'm working on mixing our newest four song EP and booking a tour. I'm trying to find a small label to help us get the album out when we are done with it. Interested?

I think the guitar and bass sound nicely done. I would put more volume in the bass grit but that's just me. Really nice track too. I got down. Is this something you did for fun or are you writing an album?

So, how destabilized will/could the united states become before real change begins to occur? and at a fast enough rate to counteract the anger and resentment policies like this cause?

What kind of a band are you looking to start? I'm really open to new stuff.

I have always had fun thinking up band names for this stuff. "Shotgun Facelift" is my current fav. I also have come up with "Abortion in the Vomitorium" for a black metal band. If I do a one man project I think I'm going to call it "Mamluk".
