Yeah, realized that after the edit window closed.

I mean, my wife hadn’t been working for several years because of her health, and we’d been incurring lots of medical costs (we qualified for the tax thing where you can deduct from your taxed income the portion of your medical expenses that are more than 7.5% of your income 5 years running!), and many paychecks I still put the second weeks’ groceries on a credit card because the money runs out before the days do, but, surely I’m better prepared, because…reasons. Surely you and your wife were worse prepared for emergencies than anyone else, and anybody you encounter on a message board isn’t living paycheck to paycheck.
My apologies for assuming, then.
At least you have some idea when these bills are arriving, right? Nobody hiding them from you because they have an irrational fear of finding sales calls in their voice mail?

This thread was much more entertaining when it was about dead babies.

Heck, the Church of the SubGenius allows it up to the age of 15.

Not in the dead baby thread!!!

And it already smells like baloney here, thanks to BigT, so we got that going for it as well.

Can I like, have it? I’m certain I can think of a more compelling reason than sweaty cottontails…how about “My children’s skeletal remains will be found in a septic tank if you don’t fork it over”?

Yes, because the death of a loved one, much like air conditioning for a bunny hutch, is something you _plan_ for.
That’s my biggest gripe. If you knew you were living paycheck to paycheck, you should have been _eating_ the bunnies, not trying to keep them alive. Their kidneys are a real treat, by the way.

And with this, the great arcs of the thread meet, forming a perfect circle.
A circle where the body of a dead baby in a septic tank slowly heat-suffocates a bunny it died clutching.

It all makes sense! A weird toe and insomnia turns people into sleazy jackasses.
