Need to get insured. Do it for your family at least
Health insurance needs to become more affordable. It's difficult to hook up with an employer who offers affordable health insurance. It's inexcusable to ask someone to pay more than 10 percent of their income on health insurance premiums.
Broke up in my fingers as I was washing it off. There is probably one huge one that chunks are breaking off of. One of these days one is going to get... stuck.
Doesn't your urologist give you those strainers? You could wash it in there before adding it to your collection. At least that's what I do.

Why would you post about it here? Seriously. Where's your dignity?
This cat's owner is long gone. It's got really thick fur so that leads me to think it's been outside a while.
If you get one of those cat grooming brushes, and it's a short-haired cat, it shouldn't be too bad. You could also confine it to rooms that don't have carpets, like the kitchen.
This happened to my in-laws. My father in law is a nice guy so he started feeding a cat that he'd share the porch with.
Then a second cat. The second cat fucked the first cat. Then there were 4 cats. This was 3 years ago.
Now there's about 12 cats (many have died and been hit by cars). He feeds them all. He's had his house infested with fleas twice.
Think this out.
This is why people get their cats neutered.
Just take it to a good vet, and get it a physical. They'll do some bloodwork, give it some vaccinations, scan it for a chip, and set up an appointment for you to bring it in.
I don't understand why the dot in this thread can't accept Black contributions to music. I'm as harsh on ghetto culture as it gets but I really don't think you can argue that they've produced some very interesting developments in music styles. You don't have to like it, but you should recognize it.
He's probably too busy writing his final in "Contemporary Eugenics Theory".
Umm, 99.9% of the best American music also has its roots in White culture, you fucking OWS idiot.
Oh now I see what you are saying. White slaves sang work songs to each other to make their long work days go by faster, as means of spiritual survival.
Then they took this to the cities during the Great Migration, and fused it into a musical form whose nuances could not be captured on sheet music, due to the highly improvisational nature of jazz tones and rhythms.
Idiot.
Fucking cumslurping asswhore.
"Spiritual survival". What a crock of shit.
"Enslaved Africans created Jazz as a means of 'spiritual survival' even though it didn't appear until a solid 50-years after Emancipation. Field hollers are direct antecedents--sure, they sounded absolutely nothing like jazz, but that's just racist nitpicking."

Dumb yeasty cunt.
Suck it, shit for brains. Work songs have existed for centuries. White people used to sing them too, as did sailors, African American slaves, cowboys and factory workers.
American slaves began singing to raise morale and sometimes sing in code to communicate with each other, sometime in the 17th century.
Blues is African music channeled through European instrumentation. Same thing with gospel music (which is mostly west African chanting set to Christian mythology).
What you probably don't realize is how basic music like blues and Irish folk music are playable within pentatonic scales. 5 notes. Take "Amazing Grace" for instance. Depending on which musicologist you talk to, you'll get several theories as to where the melody came from. Some think it's a Scottish folk song meant to be played on the bagpipes...others think it's a west African sorrow chant.
The unifying element is that it's a pentatonic melody; and it works in either scenario.
In other words, you're right in assuming that blues has similarities with European folk music, but not for the reason you listed.
Blues scales are typically a pentatonic scale with an augmented 4/diminished 5th. Hexatonic scales. The added note is the blue note.
