That's ludicrous. Lowes doesn't have tools for that. Home Depot does rent them, but if you don't return them clean, they charge you.

I wiped the dust off the table saw and it had a nice, sharp blade. No big whoop.

You do realize we all had to find a way to pay for our surgeries? I waited four years until my health insurance covered it. Not once did I think of begging other people.

When my insurance did pay, I stiil had out of pocket costs. 

Go ahead and block me now. This is complete and utter chicanery and takes more nerve than a sore tooth. 

I fight badgers with spoons.

I have insurance I still had to pay five grand. They are getting a small bit every month. I also got them to cut the price by forty percent. But I sill owe a lot.

Yep. I had to pay my 20% plus a special $1000 bariatric surgery fee. But I met my max out of pocket, so my gallbladder removal was free.

A big thank you to those of you *****sponded !    I'm in no way begging for people to pay for my surgery.  I was just asking in case someone knew of programs that would help.  Since I've posted here and waiting on approval for my post I've done quite a bit of research and there are actually surgeons who will do WLS through grants.  I may decide to do this. I may not.  To the rude person who said in begging people. Shame on you. I just asked a question.  Maybe you're just angry cause your insurance sucks :) I still wanna try this on my own cause just eating less is what the surgery is about anyway.

If you want to address someone you're upset with, you might want to reply directly to that comment so the person can see what you're saying. This method comes off as very passive-aggressive.

I'm new to the forum so I'm trying to figure it out.  I'm not passive aggressive. And if you don't have anything to comment on about my original post then there's no reason for you to even post here

If you're "trying to figure it out," I figured it might be helpful to point out a way for your response to be taken better.

You'll also find that telling others how to post is generally frowned upon, which is another mistake that those "new to the forum" tend to make. :)
