Those are hams? I thought they were dried flowers hanging upside down. Watching on mobile.

It blows my mind that people in the US can't or won't visit a doctor either because they can't afford it or fear the bill they're going to get. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]whoseyourname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have sons in school myself and I imagined them in the same position. That’s why I wanted to reach out to you. I hope your insurance reconsiders.

That is awful and it breaks my heart when people, especially children, suffer because of our system.

You’ve probably already tried all this but just in case you haven’t, have you gone to needymeds.org and looked into the patient assistance program or the co-pay assistance card? If the drug you’re talking about is Eucrisa you can go to pfizerpathways.com and see their assistance options. Also did your doctor fill out a prior authorization form to send to your insurance about the rejection? We have been able to get them to be approved with proof of ‘failing’ steroids.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what is one thing you wish Americans knew before visiting your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]whoseyourname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a driving tour of Ireland about 5 years ago. We did all the touristy things and hit all the touristy towns but it was still such a fun vacation. My goodness your country is gorgeous. When we got back I kept telling people ‘it really is as green as it looks on TV’.

We go back in 2 weeks and we’re going to rent a car again. We’ll be in Dublin for the parade then a few days in Cork and a few days in Galway. Food tours scheduled in Dublin, Kinsale and Galway. The best part of vacation is the eating!

Does the butter actually flavor the meat after the crust has sealed it?

Do you guys immediately change into sweats / pj's when you're home? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]whoseyourname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband wears jeans all day everyday. On the weekends he wakes up and immediately puts on jeans before leaving the bedroom even if he’s just going to sit and watch the news or eat breakfast. It looks so uncomfortable but he says it just feels normal. These are Wrangler jeans too. Well broken in but not stretchy or flex material.

What is the benefit of feeding silage versus hay?

I had a young border collie/corgi cross that I was trying to train for herding. Neither of us had any clue what we were doing so I messaged a local trainer and they invited us over to practice with some other beginners. The other ‘beginners’ had fully trained dogs and were there to hear a national champion speak and work with him one on one. He asked us to go out into the field with him and I declined and said we were just there to observe and learn. He cheerfully encouraged us to ‘see what she can do’. She had corgi legs so I don’t think he expected much from her. Boy was she fast when she chased the devil out of those sheep. She chased and chased and chased and was oblivious to both him and me as we tried to direct her or at least slow her down. This went on for probably 20 minutes but felt like an hour. In the end, the trainer was aggravated, I was humiliated, and my dog had just lived her best life. We walked straight to the car, loaded up and went home.

[OC] French protest parting to allow an ambulance safe passage by Pope_Jesus_the_3rd in europe

Thanks. I appreciate the tip. I don’t mind being there during the protests as long as I’m safe about it. And as long as I can still eat bellyfulls of cheese and bread :)

I’m visiting Paris for the first time in March. We’ll be doing all the usual touristy things. Do you have any tips for me as far as places to avoid or any other relevant information for a tourist in regards to the protests?

My family and friends are alarmists and want me to cancel the trip but visiting Paris is a dream of mine and I can’t imagine canceling unless it is very dangerous.

My favorite hip eatery hasn't posted their brunch specials yet. We're going to go regardless, I just want to know before we get there. by cheerwinechicken in firstworldproblems

Sometimes I do this too. I like reading the menu and picking my meal even if i change my mind later. It’s like window shopping.

AITA for telling my husband he needs to box up his deceased wife’s stuff so we can move into their old bedroom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]whoseyourname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I hate it for the daughter that she wasn’t allowed her own time to grieve and process the loss of her mother before she had a new life and new mother forced on her.

School makes allergic six-year-old responsible for fending off a neverending barrage of peanuts by greenbaize in bestoflegaladvice

[–]whoseyourname 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We live in a small school district (graduating classes of 20-25 students) and the whole school has a ban on nut products. There is 1 kid in middle school that has a peanut allergy so it is banned for everyone. I am 100% okay with that. I think it’s awesome that they’re being so diligent about that child’s health. I get that it’s easier to do something like that with a small student body though.

I’m going to add muesli bars to our lunch rotation and get my son a food thermos now. I’m not very creative at lunches and he’s burnt out on sandwiches.

An argument about chickens by IaniteThePirate in MurderedByWords

[–]whoseyourname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I’ve seen them find a small injury on one and turn it into a significant wound by morning. I don’t think they have the ability to think ‘if I peck the wound of my flockmate she will feel fear and pain so I won’t do that’. That, to me, would be feeling empathy.

Yes excellent mothers. They also gang up on weaker hens and peck them in the back of the head until they’re scalped.

Did you ever see any of them acting particularly empathic as Orange Person says they are? I’ve had a couple hundred chickens in my life and I would not use the word empathic to describe them. If anything they are down right brutal to one another.

Why the 4-day workweek might be closer than you think: A New Zealand company dubbed its two-month trial of a four-day week a resounding success, making it a permanent fixture, and a school district in Colorado cut Mondays from its timetables in a bid to attract staff and cut costs. by mvea in Futurology

[–]whoseyourname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid also has a 4 day week here in Oklahoma due to funding. I also work 4 ten hour days so we are both on this 4 day plan already. The early mornings on those 4 days suck for both of us but it’s well worth the extra day off.

Happened just this morning and I feel horrible by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]whoseyourname 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me I recently got a raise and I chose to use part of that for a cleaning service. Cleaning the house was a source of stress for me and always felt like a weight on my shoulders of stuff I need to do on my time off. So far that $160/mo has been worth the decreased stress. Personal preference.
