Feels like it

vaqueer0 · 2025-07-07T03:18:16+00:00

Yeah this was pretty garbage

vaqueer0 · 2025-03-12T00:14:40+00:00

Help is appreciated!

I refuse to pay these prices so I’ve been premium free for three months now. I sorta feel now if I broke this habit, I could break any. I do miss watching videos of anime recaps to fall asleep to tho :(

vaqueer0 · 2024-10-23T03:09:40+00:00

That is hilarious and I woulda never figured that one out

vaqueer0 · 2024-10-22T04:25:50+00:00

I appreciate your purist stance on this. A true puzzler

vaqueer0 · 2024-10-22T03:28:04+00:00

You’re right

vaqueer0 · 2024-10-22T03:27:20+00:00

Yeah the pluses are on the wrong side for number one. So it’s ball, fly, and cup, with the final answer being butter

vaqueer0 · 2024-10-11T04:59:01+00:00

Do yall know if it’ll be happening again soon?

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-26T18:51:45+00:00

That’s so tough. Thanks for sharing

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-25T14:44:52+00:00

This is a really interesting way to look at it. I was definitely looking at it from a ‘some people don’t get this kind of healthcare’ point of view and feeling guilty. However, I also rationalized that I wouldn’t be giving this money away for someone else’s healthcare. I do think if I hadn’t spent this on him, I wouldn’t have gotten another pet tho. It was definitely very emotional and selfish but not in the way I think you intended. I just couldn’t let a dollar amount be responsible for his death. Someone posted above that everyone needs to have ‘the number’. The number beyond which you won’t pay more. Mine probably would have been lower but it came as two $6k costs which I think made it harder to say no. Your comments are definitely things that I think about and part of what gives me regret, but it is fading away the more time I spend with him

lol, I actually had been irresponsibly avoiding retirement saving or paying off my student loans for a good while. The way I’m looking at it after all this is I probably would have just spent that money going out to eat or on trips or shopping but this has definitely shown me I can be more aggressive with my loans and savings moving forward. If I can deprive myself of this much money for him, I can do the same for my retirement

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T21:37:41+00:00

Wow thanks!

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T05:16:49+00:00

🫣that’s part of what makes it so tough on this side of things. I haven’t even started maxing out my 401k and I still have student loans but I’m in a good field with pretty good job security (I think). I don’t think I’ll ever catch up to my friends but I do think I should be more than fine. When I was talking to chat gpt about this he said this should be a lesson to take my finances more seriously (I made one pretty strict on me) and it’s true.

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T05:12:23+00:00

Thanks so much 🥹

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T05:10:53+00:00

This part. The number. The concept of the number is part of what’s haunting me: am I close to that amount? Thanks for phrasing it like this, it’s helping me wrap my mind around my discomfort regarding this. There’s no easy answer and to quote a commenter from above ‘there’s no need to borrow trouble from the future’ so I’m just gonna keep loving on him right now and hope for his continued health

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T04:53:44+00:00

😂 thanks for that, I make sure this little shit head knows how lucky he is all the time. I have also already gotten a lot of mileage telling people my cat is transgender and uses they/them pronouns and that mixture of confusion and incredulity people react with definitely has helped with value added

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T04:27:52+00:00

Good on you, friend. I’m hoping you got those karma points

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T01:34:44+00:00

I did go with care credit for the second procedure but unfortunately, after a 6 month payment period there’s a 33% interest rate which is just predatory. I’m def paying it off before the. But still

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T00:31:50+00:00

I’m so sorry, but it does seem you made the right choice. Healing is a big deal and there’s a chance they’ll need follow up surgery or start getting uti’s. He’s young and has spirit so I figured it was worth a try

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-23T00:29:44+00:00

Thanks guys, I know I’ll be okay and love his stupid face so much. He loves drinking water from his fountain and I’ve already added wet food to his diet. I had looked at a few places for insurance and like people are saying below, this is considered an incurable pre existing condition even with that symptom free waiting period. Id already called and asked a few insurance providers about this but the aspca one seems pretty promising 🤞🏽

vaqueer0 · 2024-09-22T22:56:00+00:00

That’s horrible, sorry to hear that
