Okay, I don't know too much about American healthcare, but how the hell can a new pair of glasses, prescriptions and dental work cost three-thousand dollars? Fucking lies, Chris.

...Unless Barb is so fucked her prescriptions equal that much? If that's the case, Jesus.

Maybe Chris only thinks you can get prescription glasses from an eye doctor? I don't exactly expect Chris to bother doing research and finding cheaper alternatives like ZenniOptical or Bonlook. You can get a very nice pair of prescription lenses for around $100 or less. Zenni's stuff is less than $50. Even if Barb needed a stronger prescription it wouldn't be too much more. I'm blind as fuck and have astigmatism and got a pair from Warby Parker, and they charged an extra $30 on top of their $100 price because I needed thicker lenses. Chris could afford his mom's glasses if he didn't buy two PS4 games, or sold a couple of them on eBay. He just won't because he's selfish and can't let go of physical possessions easily.
Prescription meds also seem too high as well, unless they are very specific/non-mainstream ones. Basic meds for blood pressure or whatever aren't very pricey, even without coverage. As for teeth, those can get very expensive, especially if you're not covered by insurance. I'm gonna guess that the Chandlers only have very basic health insurance, and that doesn't cover things like dental or eyecare. A basic teeth clean and routine check up + flouride application can cost up to $250 without insurance in my area. If Barb's teeth are really fucked up, like maybe cavities or a root canal or whatever, that can really add up. Add up to $3k? Doubtful, but it's a pretty penny unfortunately.

Sounds about right. The prescriptions should be generic, and thus, cheap. The glasses should also be relatively cheap. The dental stuff is going to add up. It sounds like Barb can be treated at a regular dentist's office, and does not need to see a periodontist. If she needed more specialized care for her gums/teeth, it's going to be a fuckton more money. 3k sounds about right, though. Perhaps a little cheap for dental.

When has Chris ever not been a pathological liar?

Surely he wasn't one during the golden age of Christory. He was very honest and doesn't keep things a secret. Even if he told a lie it would be really harmless. I think it started after Bob passed away.

I always wondered if Barb has teeth given her age and livingstyle. Doesn't she have a denture?

She's going to die soon anyway. What's the point, to look good at the funeral?

If Chris is getting better in some ways, it seems he's taking 1 step forward while continuing to take more steps back.

If someone actually gave Chris $3,000 for that Aladdin tape, he would conveniently forget all about Barb's medical needs, see it as a "bonus" and drop it all on toys and oestrogel.

We've been hearing about Barb's pressing need for dental surgery for many months now. Whatever's wrong with her teeth, neither of them seem to consider it an actual priority.

Pretty much. Within a month he'd be putting up some other video of himself, grunting and farting and mumbling some unintelligible half-recycled bullshit reason people should give him money for nothing.

And just what does Chris hope to accomplish even if he could become a woman? He'd be just a creepy fat ugly woman and be just as unsuccessful in love and life as he was when he was a male. In fact, being an ugly female is worse than being an ugly male in most Societies.

What Chris needs to devote his concentration and energies into is how to deal with the rapidly approaching post-Barb era. But what Chris needs and what Chris does seem to be the most polar opposites imaginable.

FTFY

It's like the moment Chris' hormones kicked in and mixed with his autistic DNA, it set off a chemical reaction like mixing chlorine and ammonia (Life Tip: NEVER do that, ever!). You can also see the dividing line between "somewhat dopey but lovable little kid" to "deranged lunatic asshole".

I hope no one even entertains the idea of giving Chris anything or buying his cheap garbage. There are plenty of people in the world that do not even have teeth by the age of forty. There are probably people that live in the US that still do not have access to insurance, there is nothing special about Barb or Chris, except that Chris wants to waste anything you give him on lego and cheap gadgets that will never turn him into a woman. I wish Lizzy the Lezzy would write up an article about how antique plug in vibrators would grow your Moobs into D-Cups.

Exactly. I said Chris was entering the death spiral earlier and this is proof.

Our cow is not well.
