The 2016 Summer Anti-Chuff Thread

We put one of our dogs to sleep yesterday... sucks...   She was a great little chihuahua named Coco, very friendly and gentle.   She was 16, blind, had dementia and severe arthritis.   It wasn't fair to keep her in so much pain and confusion.  She will be missed.

Sorry to hear that. We rescued a Chihuahua almost two years ago, and she's been the best dog I've ever had. My condolences.

Thanks.   All of our dogs have been rescues and all have been great dogs!    We've rescued 2 chihuahua's, 1 boston terrier and a beagle mix.    Over the last year and a half we lost the 2 chihuahua's and the boston.   All 3 lived long spoiled lives with us!    We just got the beagle mix last summer, she is only 3 and full of energy.   The humane society said she was turned in because she didn't get along with the previous owners kids, which is complete bullsh!t....   We have friends with kids and our dog has been nothing but friendly and gentle with them.    She was turned into the humane society with ear mites, fleas and worms, so my guess is the previous owners were just scumbags...

I have court tomorrow for the neighbors dog killing our chihuahua. Vet bills are about 5k.

Learned this week that one of the poster in my old forum (we were a small community, not unlike this one, but still having contact) has had brain cancer for the last year and a half and is now on his last miles.

He was a great guy, still quite young.

Scrounged around trash cans in a Walmart parking lot seeking receipts to scan them for their "savings catcher" app.

I got an email informing me they had awarded me four cents.

Four cents.

Speaking of cash money, my wife just switched jobs and cashed out her PTO hours (was over 400 hours) Will make up for the 6.00$ hr cut she took.

I ordered one of those little obdii dongles for the cars.  I've wasted half a day on the stupid thing and I still haven't managed to get any data.  It came with one of those panda mini discs but it's so scratched that it won't read.  Looked for the software online and came up short.  So I download torque.  I tried to set it up and it's asking questions about the car that even a mechanic might scratch their head at for a second.  Still no data at all even though it sees the dongle.

Daughter had to get her tonsils removed in February. Still dealing with the medical bills. We have insurance, and a flex spending account which will cover our deductibles, but the number of bills is crazy. Separate bills for the doctor, anesthesia, hospital, and half a dozen other service providers. Crazy. Some bills we just got, 4 months after service and they are demanding payment as if we are the slow ones.

You should be aware that in some states there is a timely billing clause.  If a bill isn't presented to you before a certain elapse of time (usually a year) you don't have to pay it. 

[ChadTower]

In some of those states medical bills are excluded from timely billing laws.  Of course, there are also places where medical debt is not allowed to be put into your credit report.  So it's good to know the exact laws where one happens to be.
