to help spread the word a lil, ask a mortician just put out a new video, this one specifically about proposed FTC regulation changes for U.S. funeral homes, and theres a comment period that closes October 10th, 2023 to ya kno. comment on em. tell em to help make funerals a lil cheaper.
I would really reccomend watching the video as she explains it a lot better, but the TLDR is that the FTC is thinking of adding some rules to the regs on how funeral homes disclose a couple of things, like prices (making them list prices online, so you dont need to drive to 7 diff funeral homes to price shop the day your son died, and cause hidden prices=more expensive), and make it clearer WHEN embalming is required (that is, that its NOT required by law, but might be required by the funeral home themselves)
like i said, watch the vid for a better explaination, but both of those things contribute to funerals being Mega Fucking Expensive, so. if you feel like it, go to the FTC and tell em to implement the changes!
Hey yall I mentioned earlier that my dog needs dental surgery and I’m having trouble affording it so I set up a gofundme for help. Sharing is greatly appreciated. I am not good at this, so if you need more information please ask and I will answer as best I can
I’ve talked to the vet a few times over the years about how I’m concerned for his dental health, and they said just keep doing what I was doing. But last month we found two of his teeth on the ground and it turns out he has severe periodontal disease that I probably never would have gotten ahead of. They said he needs a deep clean and at least half his teeth extracted, but that he should feel better and have a normal and improved quality of life after.

The fact that Microsoft Word has to be a subscription is upsetting. I already paid for it why do I have to pay again
Yes please be mad about it, genuinely- You used to be able to purchase a single disk to install it and use it forever after that initial purchase of one key. It sickens me to see all this stuff which used to be a one time purchase be shunted under a subscription now.
THIS
“Why is pirating going back up?!”
This. This is why. People don’t mind paying a high price for software if it’s only the once, or every 4-5 years.
But having to pay a high price regularly? Especially in the cases where you lose access to your own work if you don’t?
That’s why people are pirating software.
It’s possible to buy a non-subscription version of Word; Microsoft just intentionally makes it very difficult to find (and also expensive).
However, I know a guy who knows a guy website: MS Office Pro for $50. If the link starts going to a Page Not Found, just search the site; they usually have some form of this sale available.
Worth noting: while $50 is still more money than $yo-ho-ho, that money is a great way to make VERY clear to Microsoft that we DO want one-time-purchase products, not subscriptions.
Or you can use LibreOffice, which is exactly like Microsoft Office, but free.
I forgot to post these here but over a month ago my friend taught me how to crochet. The only thing I didn’t keep was my increase & decrease practice piece bc it looked ugly lol. I’ve made 3 headbands so far and in the process of making a cowl but I forgot to take any pictures of them XD
