q&a
i’m terrible at answering your questions. if there was a reply to a reply function, i’d be a happier tumblr. anyway here we go - sorry for all the links…
- i get most of my fabrics on etsy. i bought the outside oslo fabric by jessica jones of how about orange from etsy seller fresh modern fabric.
- my new chairs are eames knock-offs from amazon seller baxton studio. i got 4 chairs for less than the price of 1 real one. unless you own an eames chair, you’d never know the difference. i absolutely love them and although they’re really inexpensive, they don’t look or feel cheap at all!
- my mid-century modern dining table was my best craigslist score to date. it was only $50 and has a leaf so it can seat 6. it has some dents and dings, but so do i so we’re a great match.
- the picture of my dining room is horrible and the color is off because i used an instagram filter. here’s a better pic - the color is behr’s regatta bay and after 4 years i’m surprised by how much i still like it. it’s in my kitchen & dining room.
- about my $42k hospital bill - i just found out that the hospital & my insurance company are under contract & my insurance only had to pay $11k. i live in the U.S. (atlanta, ga). insurance is crazy expensive in the U.S. and i wouldn’t be able to get coverage, due to pre-existing conditions, if i didn’t work for a company that offered it as a benefit. unless you have an hmo plan (which is the most expensive option) it’s really difficult to navigate through the referral system. if you don’t go through the proper steps you could end up broke from all the medical bills. if you have health issues, it’s a royal pain in the ass. if you are healthy, you’re lucky enough to never have to deal with the bullshit. after my most recent experience i earned my black belt in insurance fuckery (i think i won).
- lastly - not a question, but a promise to stop posting instagram pictures with filters. i now realize the filters only look good on cell phones and look really shitty on computers. if you don’t want to miss out on my daily photos, we should be IG friends; follow me at anders_pandabear. it’s much more interactive and although i love tumblr, i’m finding myself on IG more often lately.
