My girlfriend is from Newfoundland so it would make a pretty great gift. I don't know if I could sell it as an engagement ring though.

Ask your grandmother for her ring, or at least a stone, then have it set by a local jeweler. Heirloom jewelry is awesome. It costs nothing and confers way more meaning. Edit: this message brought to you by a poster who literally drives a 99 Civic.

This idiot on reddit made a business decision that will surely cost a lot of money when he is sued, and possibly charged with mail tampering. Good thing he admitted guilt on a public forum.quote:So our competitors had a huge box of USB's sent to us rather than them with the intention of the USB's to be sent out to all their clients. I added a PDF brochure on to each USB then sent them back to our competitors. They sent them all out without realising my PDFs were on each one. Called this morning threating legal action. Do they have a case ?

Subjunctive posted:FWIW, the legal advice thread didn't seem to think it was a slam dunk case. What do you think he'll be sued under? Really? I thought most of the comments were pretty clear he was in a lot of trouble for opening mail not addressed to him, and tampering with a competitors product (tortious interference) and then a bunch of people discuss the FTC which is irrelevant because he is in UK. For content, we adopted a kitty who promptly broke his dumb leg. So we paid $3k for cat surgery to pin his bones back together. Two weeks later he's back to being a maniac and ran head first into a wall. Now the cat is acting super weird, seems he might have a concussion or something, we called and the vet is recommending an MRI (another thousand dollars) and then who knows how much whatever treatment is gonna cost. Pets cost more than humans for medical care in singapore. We have had him for 3 months. Pets are great for life but they are bad for money.

Why can't the cat get a head CT instead of an MR in the setting of trauma, that's first line for humans and no doubt cheaper and easier? (please note my noble resistance to this opportunity of a lifetime to make a CAT scan pun)

I am probably mistaken, my husband said "scan" and I inferred MRI because I figured he was just making a pun but god I hope it's a CAT scan. Actually, I hope it's no scan. We will see tomorrow. We love the little butt muncher so we will pay for whatever they say. Dammit.

You can probably get bilked for more money if they go with an MRI scan over a CT scan even though they'd both be fine in this case since MRI generally costs way more than CT, so depending on how scrupulous the doctor is you might be gettin' screwed (or he only has access to a kitty-sized MRI machine instead of a kitty-sized CT machine)

Everyone stayed with a friend who recently moved into a gated community in West Palm Beach. While they were at the house, this friend offered everyone the chance to take two designer purses home because "otherwise I'm going to donate them to Goodwill." Not to worry, the friend still had several designer purses left even after giving away ten! Said friend later complained about credit card debt

If the pins are magnetic, it can't get an MRI scan, so that may help things out. In all seriousness though, what is the concussion treatment and is it something like rest and not running into things that can just happen anyways?

NancyPants posted:Sorry dude, that sucks. Does the airline have a bereavement rate? You don't get bereavement until after they've died and you have a death certificate apparently. I got hosed about 6 months ago when my dad was in the ICU and we were pretty sure it was his last few days. Airlines don't care that you want to be with your family members before they die - only that you make it to the funeral? silicone thrills fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Dec 18, 2016 |

They really aren't worth it anyway. You'd probably find a cheaper regular ticket online. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2016/07/death_in_the_family_bereavement_fares_are_almost_a.html quote:Airlines used to give discounts to passengers who were traveling to a relative's funeral, but those days are just about gone.

I was already booked to go see the family in a few weeks so i'm going to change days and eat the cost difference. I do have a nice benefit that I know a ton of people with Alaska Airlines and I think one of them is going to get my change fee waived but I still have to cough up the difference in fares.  People being kind at work and on the interwebs has definitely made be feel alot better today.
