Hellllllo Tom!
My cats weird obsession with Ringo Starr
So recently my cat has become infatuated with a picture of Ringo Starr I have hanging up in my room
He only ever does this with ringo, not George, the only other picture he can reach, I thought maybe he actually liked Paul or maybe it was just the frame so I conducted an experiment
I decided to try out some different pics of the Beatles together and he still seemed to prefer ringo over the other three
I then tried out individual photos to see which he preferred and he stuck by ringo every time
Finally I tested a picture of the band from a different era where they looked different, at least to a cat, and he still preferred Ringo, thus telling me that my cat has a thing for Ringo Starr
Iâm at the symphony wondering why the mind of man (or woman for that matter) still hasnât come up with a comfortable bra and pantyhose.

I feel like I should make a post about this because itâs not something thatâs very well-known, and that Americans in particular may need to know about given the uncertain state of our healthcare system at the moment. Iâve wanted to write this out for a while, Itâs kind of a long post, so sorry about that!
If you have an emergency and have to go to the hospital, youâll owe the hospital a lot of money. (I got into a car wreck and broke my ankle and my arm. My hospital bill was around $20,000)
Youâll also owe the ambulance provider, if you need one. (My ambulance bill was about $800)
You may get separate bills from the anesthesiologist or surgeon. (My anesthesiologist bill was $1,700)
You may need follow-up appointments. (My orthopedic surgeon billed me for the appointments and his surgery together and it was about $1,000)
Youâve also got to pay for medical equipment you need afterward, like crutches or a walking boot. (Mine cost about $75)
Altogether, I ended up with almost $24,000 in medical debt from one car accident. Thatâs a really scary number for someone like me who makes $10/hr at a 12 hour a week job.
I got my debt down to $1075 by making some phone calls and submitting some paperwork.
The first thing I did was contact the hospital. They donât make it easy to find, but many hospitals (perhaps most hospitals?) have financial assistance programs for people who canât afford medical bills. I donât make a lot of money, and I have bills to pay, so they were able to help me. I called the billing department and asked if they had any assistance programs for low income people who canât pay their bills. I had to call multiple times, and I got transferred in circles by people who didnât know what I was talking about. Finally, I got an appointment with someone in âEligibility Servicesâ (I donât know what other hospitals call it, if itâs something different). I had to bring my pay stubs and copies of all of my bills. When I got to the hospital for the appointment, nobody knew what I was talking about so I had to wander a little to find where I needed to go. I spoke with the guy in Eligibility Services, and I waited for a decision on how much of the bill they would forgive. A month later, I got a call telling me it was totally forgiven.
I did the same thing for my ambulance bill and my anesthesiologist, but the process was a LOT easier. I just had to mail some paperwork and it was totally forgiven.
I didnât bother with the medical equipment suppliers, since the bills came from separate companies and I didnât feel like going through the process twice for $75. I was assured at the hospital that they had similar programs for debt forgiveness, so I could have probably avoided paying that too.
The only thing I couldnât get taken care of was the surgeon/follow-up appointment cost, but they were able to put me on a no-interest payment plan.
Medical debt is scary because itâs something that can come from stuff thatâs already really scary. I didnât need the burden of $24,000 in debt on top of trying to get around on a crutch with a broken arm (itâs not easy, believe me!).. but I canât imagine what it would be like with a bigger debt or a more severe medical emergency. I see lots of people in even worse trouble than I was in, both financially and medically. Please know that there are options for you when that GoFundMe doesnât do enough. Even if your income is higher than mine, itâs worth a shot even for partial debt forgiveness.
I am about 900% sure there are people who don`the know this.Â
PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU LIVE IN AMERICA AND HAVE MEDICAL BILLS
I had to do this once as well and I can ABSOLUTELY confirm that this is true.
Get in contact with the hospital. Donât justâŚsit there and let the anxiety grow and panic and then ignore it in an effort to find peace.
Hey psst @allfrogsarefriends i found it.
I love what you do here. Please keep at it.
Thank you thank you thank you! Yâallâs encouragement means so much to me <3
Now hereâs Carl Sagan appreciating a good binder:
Iâve had so much caffeine and little sleep this week, youâd think it was an incredibly addictive stimulant or something.
On the other hand Iâve written 8000 words of Yuletide fanfic.
I just opened up a check in the mail, went to the ATM & found 20$ đ Iâm not passing these shits up NO more on my mama!
Even if I do not receive money or good news, I did smile at seeing this smiling Buddha.
Same here âşď¸âşď¸
Why is such a bad habit so hot when done by these guys?
