With the guarantee of high cost you also have a lot of doctors who don't care about the patient, only their insurance card. Not saying all, but lots. At least in my 14 years of chronic illness.

I'm sorry. I know your heart is broken and nothing but time can ease it. I lost my cat in January at 15 years old from hyperthyroid related kidney failure. We met when she was a feral kitten and ran out from under a food truck and tried to take me down by the ankle. We bonded instantly. It has me at a heightened state of awareness of the mortality of my two dogs and remaining cat. It hurts like hell and I'm so sorry you lost your friend.

Thank you, but it's okay. I only see the positive total on my app. Some people just love the taste of corporate boot leather.

It's funny you mention that. I barely make it 30 minutes at my art receptions of I manage to submit work in a slow. I've been thinking about it and remembering how much of a fight I put up before getting a cane and how much I wished I hadn't waited so long. Probably time to talk to my doc. Thank you friend and I hope you get that chair hacked and at your command.

I understand. I use a cane due to severe inflammatory arthritis and a long list of other crap including a deteriorating spine that's likely to land me in a chair myself in a few years. Trying to build my own ramp into my house a little at a time on good days because it's several thousand dollars to have one built and eventually I won't be able to do it at all. Solidarity in hating it here. I'm in Texas in the US which, well it's run by regressive masochistic asshats.

I'm sorry I don't have any answer, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry you have to go through this to make your life easier. Also I fucking hate unrestrained capitalism.

Same. I would often be in the car while my mother would run into a store and I would watch them. They really did have their own little world.

I always loved grackles and the noises they make. You really captured the shine. Love it.

Thank you! I really want to do more. I typically try so do this kind of sculpture in the Summer when my RA is at its calmest. It's a bit more physically demanding.

Thank you! Exactly my thoughts. The artist statement I put with it was "The dragon that is born with its hoard may appear cute, but in the end your village will mean nothing in comparison to its gold."

A society can fall for two (or more) reasons.
