    Thanks for sharing your experience :) Yeah it’s quite a system we have going on here. I stepped on a rusty nail on my lawn the other day, which is filled with them, I just learned it’s common for contractors to leave a bunch of shit in the fill and I guess perfectly legal? Anyways, I called the local county public health office that offers vaccines for adults free of charge to the uninsured but they won’t take me because it’s considered treatment and not prevention or some shit, they said to go to the ER or urgent care, that’s like hundreds of dollars at least. I can go to Walgreens and get a shot for $75 too. So many great choices I don’t know lol :(

        Well the problem was the wait time, they said next Tuesday which is a little too long to wait for that lol.

          Thats at least something but I have found a lot of our stuff is to little to late. Like there is housing programs but somehow you have to survive without housing for a few years to possibly get some.
