His FACE. Poor sweetheart.
The bug people are coming tomorrow, and I have massive doses of prednisone to take to ease the bites. Yay.

Also, he really does resemble Ringo Starr (who was my favorite Beatle, so it is a compliment).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Cute doggie!
Matt, sometimes you choose the cat, and sometimes the cat chooses you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
sometimes the cat chooses you.
Especially in Soviet Russia.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
It just goes to show - dogs love you even when you don't treat them well. Cats, NSM.
My royal name? Grand Empress Poinsetta del Fuego (do I have to fight Aims for this one?).
I didn't try the Carlos Danger name but I did see a tweet this morning that said (more or less), "If Weiner wins the election, I'm not signing up for automatic mayoral updates."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm reading this [link] and I'm confused by this Stanton lady. It sounds like she argued both for and against civil rights causes, but by virtue of having lobbied for any, puts herself ahead of many of her peers (depression of low bar). How destructive were her arguments against?

Except for dogs that don't. Maybe all cats are immune to feline Stockholm Syndrome, but there are plenty of dogs in that number also.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, Beau had an appointment at the dentist and I want to know what you all think:
We have been going to the dentist for almost a year. Beau started there in September and I in December. I have had a few treatments there: cleaning, light fillings on the sides of 2-3 teeth and a crown (in May). Beau needs a crown and has needed one since September, but they are waiting for the tooth to drop (?).
When he was in the dental chair, he was talked to at least 5 times about the cost of the crown procedure (three times by the assistant and two more times by the dentist himself). He has to sign a form saying he understood the cost.
I did not have this level of discussion with the staff at ALL back in May. I think it seems rather excessive to have such a discussion, but I'm wondering what might be behind it:
a) Beau's theory is that the practice probably got some notice by the CA insurance or dental commission about properly informing patients of fees before procedures. Beau thinks this might be related to patient complaints - but I see no evidence of that based on limited yelp, facebook, and related info.
b) 5x for the price discussion seems really over the top. Their treatment of me and costs has been rather opaque in the 6 months I have been there. So this is a 180 in terms of my experience.
Any explanation for this that you experienced individuals can cook up?
