Coolness Averted posted:Mine are fine enough, no problems with my bite or missing teeth, but you can definitely tell I haven't had braces or a whitening and invisiline regimen. This reflects I grew up close enough to middleclass to get regular dental care but not purely cosmetic stuff. My bottom row is crowded AF, dentist asked if I wanted to correct them. I was kinda "eh" on it. I've smiled with my mouth closed since I was a kid. Not to mention a couple decades of smoking, a decade and a half of coffee. I'd like to get them fixed maybe one day, but I doubt it'll ever change how I smile. The Navy decided to not pull my teeth in boot. But then they decided to do it on a deployment, on a ship, that was rocking. They grew in kind of perfect and it too like 20 minutes to get them all out. I wish I would of asked for them

SalTheBard posted:Goonfund, you have seriously helped my wife and I out today. I just feel that we have been non stopped cursed (and since I sent my request to you I found out we need another $10k for a new AC). My family will be able to eat this week because of Goonfund. Thank you so much. Thank you thank you thank you. I made a pledge to do a reoccurring $10 month donation to Goonfund to repay it and I will stick by my word! Man, I feel you on the AC. I just spent $13k on a 2-ton SEER 16 combo unit. What did you get? I'm pretty sure I got extremely gouged but I didn't futz around with trying to find anything cheaper. I'm glad you were able to get some assistance! I get paid this week, so I'll shoot some money towards the fund.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:did the surgeon put their knee on your chest? Thats always a fun time Lol, nah, I got really lucky with that one. Surprisingly, for a Navy Dentist, it was actual fairly quick and easy. But man, the horror stories about wisdom teeth suck. Had a buddy that two of his grew in completely horizontal, and that to like cut open his jaw / gums, whatever to pull them. He was asleep, at least.

Elviscat posted:The Navy sent me to a civilian dentist to have my last wisdom tooth extracted, since it hadn't fully erupted when I got the other three pulled in bootcamp, and the base I was at didn't have the facilities for an extraction. Much more pleasant than the knee-on-the-chest boot experience. The military dentistry and HVAC thread! complaining about oral violence, and discussing new trends in air conditioning, and air conditioning accessories. SalTheBard posted:We got a 2 ton SEER 16 package unit too. I was in the military so we got a bit of a discount but yeah we are going to be spending a lot today. Also, it'll suck paying that / financing that. But once your place cools down, it helps  to be vaguely related to the real thread, payday is tomorrow, and I'm gonna shoot some towards the fundage

vortmax posted:We don't have Costco here but that may work with Sam's Club. I'll check it out, thanks! i got out of the military, and transitioned into the gov't. Had dental insurance... but i didn't know, so I paid out of pocket like 6k to get me right. the dentist office helped with send my claims and i got a portion of that back. but we're talking like one root canal, and like three crowns. But the dental tech that took care of me was cute and adorable, so it helped

Mumpy Puffinz posted:Remember when transition was glass and they called it greyscaling? Also sorry for turning this into eyeglass chat Meh, this is all good chat. Help goonfund, definitely. But tips or tricks to save money on other random stuff should be a standard here. Not like an Extreme Couponing level, but hey this eye sight website is good for blah blah. I had lasik about 15 years ago, I'm 40 now, so I'm starting to wonder. and that little puff of air they blow into your eye? For cataracts, I think? You should get to kick the doctor in the nuts, once per. I just donate a bit here and there when i participate or start a derail. blight rhino fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jul 23, 2023 |

previous page : website created!! https://usgoonfund.com/ are you supposed to be able to donate through the website? Or continue donating as normal? shot $50 through paypal. e- appreciate the informative post about what's going on with the Org. I know absolutely nothing about creating 501c3 charities, and hopefully you got some peeps on your side that know some more about it. blight rhino fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Aug 18, 2023 |

i'm bias because I hardly venture outside of GBS. If I do, it's PYF, which is just GBS condensed. What I'm trying to say is GBS is the best. fight me. I'm currently near-broke, with a payday on Friday. But the gov't shutdown might just eff me in the A. But I'm contributing again once all that poo poo is sorted. And, honestly, I'll be fine, as long as a furlough doesn't drag into Months (not likely). But people that rely on WIC and other gov't aid could be poo poo out of luck. Donate if you're able, friends. blight rhino fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Sep 26, 2023 |

syntaxfunction posted:Duly noted, I have gone ahead and edited it. My bad I wouldn't sweat it, the rest of the quoters should edit as well. Shooting 50 towards the fund. Hopefully, the shutdown won't happen, because it can easily gently caress some people. Food-scarce, health care, all that can be affected. Press on! can you post the Venmo name to send to? I'm assuming it's just @usgoonfund, but if someone can confirm, so we all know? blight rhino fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Sep 30, 2023 |

Sing like a girl posted:Thank you for the donation I don’t know how to summarize what has happened to me in the last few months and nobody contacted me to clarify which I did expect. Then got a donation out of nowhere - but to cut a long story short I bought a Victorian house in the Midwest 5 years ago then my business took on serious debt due to Covid and then the house fell apart in the last 2 months to repairs I could not afford. The chimney fell in. I have had to sell the house to a we buy houses for cash company. It cleared much of the debt but the trauma has screwed me up so much and the stress of it, I’ve been really unable to work. been literally looking at homelessness in a shelter with stupidly needy Sphynx cats I am gently caress terrified of having to rehome. I was actually offered a place in a shelter after giving my story - which also terrified me. I am gently caress terrified of losing my cats. I am fuckinb terrified of not being able to work from the stress. I am currently trying to move everything I own to an apartment and still not sure I can pick up work or even if I do, if my business will survive letting so many people down. I am looking at going on welfare if I can;t recover from this stress. So thank you because this donation has floated me. I have secured an apartment on basically nothing I was down to nothing and I have to pull mysekf together. Have to be out of my house in 3 days. best luck to you. i don't know how much we (the collective we as Goons) can help, but I wish the best for you.

Space Kablooey posted:OP, any word on receiving international donations now that you guys are an actual charity? Or is it still too much hassle. I'm CONUS, but I'm curious. Could you just find a CONUS goon you trust, and send it to them, and they send it in? Though, that seems tax-loop-holey, so who knows. I have a hard time believing the amount that is raised month to month. .. Not that I don't believe it, but just stunned that goons are so giving, I guess? Though, we have a good track record.

Seth Pecksniff posted:That would not be advisable and a good way for the IRS to find reasons to dig into the finances. To be clear, I absolutely believe everything is on the up and up here and they would find nothing, but I do not think we should be recommending this. It would take time, money and effort to deal with this when it could be going towards helping goons in need Absolutely. I did kind of come off like I was suggesting it. But nah 100%, that's how businesses get shut down probably. Appreciate you clarifying my stupid!
