Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Gold star, ita !
The pet insurance article was interesting but the claim that "the problem is there's probably nothing that could possibly happen to this cat that would cost $6,000" is either wickedly optimistic or they really are never planning on treating an illness.
I do know my parents need to pay the bills and then submit for reimbursement. They've not had any troubles though.

MwhahahahahhahAHAHAHAHAHA! wipes eyes AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Yeah, if I was feeling particularly masochistic, I'd add up Mister Kitty's decade of bills. Pretty sure I exceeded that. Probably $3k easily this past year alone (mostly due to having to use the Vet ER on several Sundays...) Ridiculous, but it was well worth it to me. eta: And I feel vindicated that all that was diabetes related and it wasn't the diabetes that finally was gonna kill him.

Don't. You. Dare. One, you'd do it again. Two, I don't want to feel peer pressure to do the same. Ridiculous amounts. But worth it.
Hello everyone! Many apologies for my scarcity; we have had problems with our satellite on the ship and so being online has become quite a luxury! But I'm ashore today in Hilo, Hawaii, and taking advantage of free wifi!
Things have been going pretty well - we have a new cruise director on board who I'm not a huge fan of, but otherwise things are fine! We had karaoke in the crew bar last night and apparently no one knew I could sing, so I kind of felt like a rockstar for a little while. There was also almost a boy in my life, but he just got switched to a shift where I'm lucky if I see him in passing once a week, so that has come to a screeching halt. Oh well! Making lots of friends, which is nice.
I bought Christmas decorations today! I'm very excited to deck my cabin out. I am not even the slightest bit religious but I absolutely adore Christmas.
Aww! I am sitting in a Starbucks and a passenger from the ship just came up and told me that I do a great job. I have people shouting at me so many hours a day that I love hearing nice things once in a while!!
I hope everything here is going well for people! I wish I had time to catch up on everything I've missed on the board, but alas. I will definitely be buying myself a ship Internet card for Christmas, so I will potentially be around a bit more for a little while. Have a great day!
I keep telling Devi, that as now-eldest at *gasp* 14, she's not allowed to get sick. EVER.
....yeah. We'll see how that goes.

You're like two ships that...oh, never mind. MAKE IT WORK, LADY.
I just called my mother to update her on the never-ending work saga, and ended up by bumming her out about one of the markedly disturbed branches of our family. But she cheered herself by saying it all obviously meant I needed to get married.
She's never met the segue she couldn't strongarm, that woman.

Ahahaha!

I have definitely pointed this out to Homer recently.
I tried telling Perkins the cat that, and it's mostly worked, even to the point of surprising the vet.
