Thanks to Goonfund and the help of a mechanic friend my car is back to "barely driveable"! That's as good as it gets with that piece of poo poo these days. I really need to replace it, so if anyone has a few thousand dollars sitting around, let me know. (I don't need anything fancy, just something with working AC would be nice.)

I got an eye exam this week (covered by health insurance because I'm diabetic; I don't have vision insurance) and they want $300 for the lenses and $100+ for frames. I'm obviously going elsewhere to get cheaper new glasses, but it's outrageous what you're expected to pay. I'm not asking for help, but it's another example of why this fund has to exist.

LiterallyATomato posted:Off-topic, but if you can swing a Costco subscription, the reduced price on glasses might more than make up for the $60 membership fee. It did for me. We don't have Costco here but that may work with Sam's Club. I'll check it out, thanks! EDIT: Mumpy Puffinz posted:guess you're blind now. How is vision not covered by healthcare? You can't read it so you don't know what you signed. I'm lucky that my eyesight isn't too bad. But in Glorious Capitalist America neither vision nor (as discussed before) dental are covered by health insurance. I miss having dental insurance. I missed one payment without knowing and they didn't cover a visit, so I had to pay it off over several months. vortmax fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Jul 23, 2023 |

Mumpy Puffinz posted:the thing is, that machine that you look into with a picture of a hot air balloon, or a cottage down a dirt road does 99% of the work. The doctor is only there to check the picture of the inside of your eye to make sure you don't have glaucoma or some other bad poo poo This is particularly relevant to me being diabetic and checking for retinal damage. There's an optional service not covered by my health insurance (for being diabetic) that takes images of my retinas to track any damage. It's gone from $20/yr to $30/yr. I think it's worth it, and I pay for it, but it shouldn't cost extra. And so far my eyes aren't showing any damage from the diabeetus which makes me happy. Again I am extremely lucky to have insurance through the ACA (Obamacare) that covers the exam for free. Thanks for all the suggestions to get cheaper spectacles too; I'll check them out if local sources like Success Vision Express don't work. vortmax fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Jul 24, 2023 |

That seems like it'd work with zero consequences. Yes this is a comedy forum and jokes are expected but the US government is very strict about this and has no sense of humor so please don't do this.

Would getting the mods to send the thread on a forums tour be a good idea? It increases exposure, which would hopefully increase donations, but also increase requests.
