Thank you, I completely forgot about his website; will definitely keep it in mind for the future!

Thanks for the responses. Even before his situation, the insurance industry was always a point of contention with us and I never hesitate to get on my soapbox to argue my disdain for everything. The lack of empathy from this country is sickening and unfortunately as my husband says we’re now stuck.

This has been a fun ride for us, husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer end of last year. Met the max oop for our plan very quickly and have everything on the minimum payment plan. Things reset in July and we returned from vacation (needed our son to have some normalcy) to a $1300 bill for his first chemo treatment in the new cycle. We asked if the oncology office will work with us so we’ll see what comes of that. It’s exhausting and I don’t know how people without insurance survive (although the current system is an absolute joke).

We had been mulling over the idea of leaving, but then my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in Nov. He says he’s now tainted, but if it gets too bad our son and I can leave; it’s just a sad future no matter how I spin it at this point.

My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer and people in several support groups I follow are now no longer able to participate in trials. These are people whose last hope was a trial; it is absolutely going to kill people.

This is exactly what I think whenever I see him doing it

My father uses a knife and fork to cut off the crust, eat in pieces, and then continues to use the knife and fork. It is so embarrassing whenever we’re out.

Had baby fever for about 2 years before my husband got his and we initially wanted at least 2. Had our son and the fever never returned. I didn’t want to have another to appease society and end up with a child that I honestly would have regretted. I’m now happily one and done with an 8 year old. When things aren’t going well, I have to remind myself and especially my husband that he’s a child.

Gave a Christmas card to my uncle one year with this and had it memorized at one point, thanks for the throwback!

My area appears to have been hit with a paper towel shortage first. Attempted to get some at Costco today because we legit needed it, but they had none. Went to Lidl and they were running low, but was able to procure some.

I did this at work recently when my coworker brought me a pack of leftover hotdog buns. Texted my husband that I was having a veggie hotdog, but the fact that I didn’t think to do it until 42 is somewhat embarrassing.

Our son told us he doesn’t recite the pledge of allegiance in class (started last year in first grade). Asked why and he said it’s because of how we talk about the country not taking care of its people. Never prompted, but he has his convictions already.

My 70 year old dad is also in denial. Keeps saying it’s summer and always hot, but complaining about it lasting for 3-4 weeks this far and we’re only mid-July. Then said a week long below average streak would would help because that’s how you get average temps.

Want me to show you a little trick to take a your mind off that pain?

As of now, the only product I have to buy to support this atrocious company is Fancy Feast because it’s the only food my picky senior cat will eat.
