Fuck you once for accusing me of abusing anything, I just asked a question.
Fuck you twice for implying my roommate doesn't have emotional issues.
Brownie is an awesome emotional support animal, he's just not registered.
So, if you don't have useful information or suggestions, then please kindly fuckoff.
If that were true, your roommate wouldn't need you or your help. You're a liar.
Why wouldn't they need help? Do you think the local government goes door to door asking residents if they have any ailments or issues and supplies them with the proper forms and education on what programs or services are available for them? Like how could you possibly come to the conclusion that this would be the case and that your comment was some sort of "gotcha?"
Because their therapist would give them the right information and endorsements, not a fucking roommate.
You think your average person can access therapy services especially in a place like Mississippi, the poorest state in the entire nation? Keep in mind this guy is apparently 66 years old with a roommate.
So he's coherent enough and wealthy enough to own a dog but can't afford a session with a therapist?
Bro lost everything. The plot, this argument, my respect. Rock bottom. Gladly, where they live, apparently therapy is affordable and widely available. Although dogs arent, which is sad, but also a little weird.
You can't be a real person. I see homeless people with dogs all day long. You don't need to be wealthy to own one especially when it's a rescue that someone dumped in a park. Are you just making ridiculous claims as a way to double down and avoid looking foolish for overreacting or do you really believe what you're saying?
Brownie is reasonably affordable for him, and he keeps roommate alert and aware of situations around him and where he stays.
Reasonably affordable doesn't mean roommate is wealthy though.
I take care of elderly and disabled people, and I promise you, none of them are wealthy, they just need help..
Why in the holy fuck do people keep insisting I'm somehow lying about my roommate? He's 66 years old and doesn't fully understand modern technology.
And I'm only 43 years old, and I don't have all the answers for him..
Nah, fuck you for pretending to have the moral high ground in this comment while openly saying you're just in it for free dog food in others. This commenter is absolutely correct in calling you out for trying to abuse a program meant to aid the disabled, as people like you who take unnecessary advantage harm the future availability of these kinds of programs. Especially when pet food assistance programs are a thing.
What the hell is wrong with you? It only costs ~$8 for about 2 months of food to feed Brownie, and his previous health insurance covered that no problem.
You act as if I'm looking to do some scam or some shit. No, just trying to help my roommate see if it's possible to save him $4 a month with his new insurance. His previous insurance covered it, so what's it hurt to ask simple advice?
