I’ve missed about a month’s worth of work days (30 altogether) due to repeated hospitalizations in the last few weeks, and I’m due to miss more because corrective surgery is all but certain at this point.
No pressure to donate, of course, because we’re all struggling, but if you wouldn’t mind giving this a boost at least, I’d appreciate it.
The hospital just called and cancelled my surgery because I can’t pay the deposit in time. Thanks for trying everyone.
EDIT: And now my husband is out of work until the Govt shutdown ends, which who knows when that’s going to happen. Please help if you can, I literally do not make enough to pay our bills by myself, working full time.
The hospital denied my financial aid request after a month of radio silence. My husband is still out of work for the foreseeable future. Please help.
A yellow and grey cockatiel “sings” the chorus to “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire in a high-pitched whistle. It occasionally pecks a metal object to the beat, and it makes a deep, short sound similar to that of a cowbell.
Holy shit I assume everyone is doing an up and down jiggle and maybe a side to side jiggle but if you jiggle your phone forward and backwards he jiggles in and out, too
Brother I am jiggling this rat all three ways, up and down jiggle, left and right jiggle, backwards and forwards jiggle. I love this shit.
That’s not a Rat??? That’s a Hamster or a Guinea pig???
this is the original picture i used for the meme. im pretty sure its a rat /gen
OH, SHOOT, MY BAD, IT JUST LOOKED TOO BIG TO BE ONE!!
reblog to tell a 14 year old that these are the very, very hard years and they’re not wrong to feel the way they do.
I had a fifteen minute long crying session yesternight over the fact that all I was 10 years ago, at the ripe old age of 14, is lost and lonely, and now, at 24, I am neither and that filled me with so much gratitude
reblog to tell a teenager that these aren’t actually the best years of your life and that things can and will get better when you have independance and maybe are away from your situation right now.
“Jack of all trades, master of none” … “but ofttimes better than a master of one.”
“Blood is thicker than water.” “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb.”
“Money is the root of all evil.” “The love of money is the root of all evil.”
there’s also “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” which conservatives are oh so fond of saying
bootstraps are, well, straps on your boots. you cannot physically pull yourself up by them, and that’s what the original phrase meant. “pulling oneself up by the bootstraps” is meant to be an impossible task
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”
The second part really matters.
Some more:
“Birds of a feather flock together- until the cat comes.” - The first part gets quoted a lot in a “find your people” kind of way, but the full quote was meant to be a warning about basing relationships on “feathers” (looks, surface details, etc) only.
“Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back.” - The first part is often used like a warning against curiosity, but the full quote is meant to encourage it.
“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.” - The first part is often used to get people to do stuff first/fast/early, but the full saying is meant to impart that sometimes, not being the first can work out better.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour.” - The first part is often quoted in a “cool it/relax/stop” type way, but the full quote is meant to encourage slow and steady progress.
“Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ.” - Just because it’s an idea y'both had, doesn’t make it a good one.
