1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I was just thinking of him yesterday too.

I know someone had his phone number and reached out, but wasn't sure if he wanted to remain private or not.

 

That was my plan as well but I'm actually going to get a 20' shipping container instead. About 3K delivered.

 

They are awesome little devices! We use em alot at my new job.. those as well as PEM fasteners, which are very similar but different

 

That's a damn good price on one

 

X3

@Black DOG Lila has his number and reached out to him awhile ago cause we were all asking. At that point he was still alive and doing OK at least

 

Took my cat to the vet this AM, looks like he's got an ear infection and they want $600 to do a scan to see if his sneezing is respiratory-infection related. He's gotten better over the last couple days so I'm gonna pass on that, but fuck me. Still gonna be a few hundred at least for the checkup and ear infection test/meds. Vet visits are never cheap.

 

Are you drinking enough water?

Genuinely looking out for your well-being here

 

Yeah I'm low key wishing I had used those to install the snorkel bracket on the a-pillar rather than rivets, but oh well.

 

Pet insurance.

Steph found out the hard way with a surgery for Bronx.

I've got Embrace via USAA for him and it covers pre-existing conditions as well.

 

When we had to put my wife's cat down last year it was after 2 days of running tests and meds to try and make him better, in the end (including the meds to put him to sleep) she was out nearly $3k.

People say pet insurance isn't worth it but I have to wonder if they're wrong

 

That's what I'm thinking, I've just heard from so many people that it isn't worth it but I"m starting to think otherwise. How can it not be unless they deny everything. Glad to hear Bronx's surgery was covered, that gives me hope

 

Sounds like you need a new cat.

 

No, what I mean is she didn't have pet insurance way back then.

She got it for him afterward, but in combining some costs and cutting expenses, I went ahead and got him switched over to Embrace.

Nice to pair things and save money here and there like Amazon Prime, Netflix, and other stuff that over time, adds up.

 

Yeah I would think with dogs especially it would be necessary, since they're outside often and play with other dogs and what not. Indoor cats don't see much in the way of danger lol. Harley ate an earplug once, that's about as dangerous as his life has gotten. But when they get old, age starts to do its thing no matter if they are indoor or outdoor...$$$

 

Think they'll do a straight across swap

 

They can't give them away.

 

I drink plenty of water. 1/4 of it has coffee in it though

 

They didn't call you about extending your cat's warranty?

 

Maybe that's what that correctional facility call was all about, getting inmates to sell pet insurance? Maybe I should have picked up

 

Cst insurance for an elderly cat is about 30 bucks a month, I bought it for the wife's cat and it pays itself back every year (so long as you need to take em to the vet lol)
