We took my cat to this clinic for a possible plant poisoning; he had eaten a few leaves off my bonsai. They had us call the pet poison control line, which cost $89, because they said they have to know more specifics about the plant.

While we were on hold, for half an hour, I looked it up on my phone. I found a short list of symptoms for poisoning related to this plant. I asked if they could check our cat for these symptoms. They said no. Why I didn't leave then and there is all down to fear for my pet. I should have taken him somewhere else at that point.

We finally got to talk to someone on the helpline, they gave us all the info we needed about the poisoning and our cat, and gave us a case number for our vet to consult on. To be clear, they told us the risk was very low to begin with and that if he didn't have more symptoms at this point, an hour after eating some leaves, he was fine.

We still gave the vet the case number and waited another half an hour before I decided to leave. (Also, to clarify, the cat had been with us this whole time. So there was no care being provided.) We went out to the lobby and asked if we needed to pay or if they'd send us a bill. They said we'd get a call.

We went home and did indeed receive a call a while later. They asked if we were still in the building. FFS. Then they asked if we still wanted the consultation; I said no. So they said they'll need to take payment for the "exam". ***$***250.

I recently found out about this program called Lasagna Love. People can sign up to request a lasagna if they're in need of food and volunteers get matched and make them lasagna. I signed up as a volunteer, because I grew up very poor in the el cerro area (Los Lunas) and often didn't have enough food as a kid and young adult. But I didn't get any matches and I thought, maybe it's because people didn't know about it. So I wanted to share this resource to anyone who may be struggling and don't know it's there. Go to lasagnalove.org to request a lasagna. Spread the word!

Edited to add: I read you have to offer lasagna, but can offer similar alternatives. So, I'd probably start every request with, do want enchiladas instead, or no?

Obviously not uncommon to see Texan plates but I feel like every time I leave the house I get cut off by one of them lately?
