But on the plus side, free wifi and toilet paper for anyone within range. I can find an internet wife and maybe even sort of bathe before I meet her the first time.

I appreciate the nice things you said, I try. I think you (and really most of the folks I have interacted with on here) get it. Personally, I think part of what you described (the part I quoted)...

The oath isn't forbidding me to tell the truth. It is requiring me to be honest, and to serve something bigger than me. That service includes following rules and orders, and those rules and orders...

I still check in from time to time but it isn't as much fun as it used to be. I think a lot of that is me, and how my personal journey has changed me over the last 7 years or so. I also finally...

I get that, although I didn't have it so rough. I do have a little bit of experience with sometimes the only closure you can get being what you create for yourself. You seem like a loyal and "see...

I am sorry for your loss, Rick. I made the trip from here to Raleigh to Ohio (Steubenville, not Cleveland) when my dad passed in 2009. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I agree that most of the job is and by its nature will ever be reactive but we run into plenty enough in progress encounters to support the idea that we also prevent and protect folks too.

I mostly love it but #3 is wrong. We carry them to protect both.

Specialty Restoration of Texas was a preferred contractor through USAA. Waiting on the rep to come over right now and do a walk through before I sign to get the work done tomorrow. I was a little...

I saw that today. Yeah, for once I'm ok with an entity withholding money they were contractually obligated to pay and making someone force them to pay it.

I thought it was 41.1 million. I read that yesterday somewhere. Not like that changes your point much.

I grabbed a jug of something that felt like thinly mixed cement with latex in it from Lowes and tried it on my driveway last week. It was 10-15 bucks I think, and covered several cracks criscrossing...

I bought my wife a Prius. Not for Mother's Day, but because she needed a new ride. I'm gonna milk that.

Funny nerve story: I was using the tens unit for the first time in a while and had it over the lower right side of my back. Of course, as a guy, I was messing with the dials on the thing, And...

I was in the same boat with NSAIDs because of my diabetes. Between that and work I couldn't take more than OTC Tylenol. I guess my doc changed her mind because I am now allowed nearly ranger candy...

That's my experience with the tens unit too. I wear it for hours. Then the pain is minimal for a day or so. Ibuprofen 600mg and the tens help me manage things with almost no activity. I found good...

I've had a teeter hangups inversion chair for about 6 months. I can say it helped my back for a while (meaning a few hours of relief at most, per use), but it might not be for heavier folks or folks...

Just to update, now that I have free time. We found out it was cancer. The likelihood of recovery was not high, and the expense of treatment was guaranteed. After a family discussion we opted for...

I didn't have a wall-shaking banshee groan, but my toilet was making a vibrating, whining noise when we flushed a couple years ago. I am a DIYer so I wanted to fix it myself. I know the toilet was...

Yes sir, she is white (when not filthy from running around in the dustbowl outside). Hopefully we will be getting her seen this weekend.

I agree,up to a point. Philosophically I have never resolved whether the stuff that animates a "lesser creature" is the same as what animates human beings, so I can't honestly say whether it would be...

On her ear. Sorry she was squirming while my wife held her. Hard to get a decent pic.

I am more than a little afraid of the potential expense, but it would cost more (in other than financial terms) to endure the ire of the wife and the tears of the kids... but there is kind of a...

So we took in a cat a couple years ago, and for a series of reasons I have very little interaction with it. My wife got her spayed and all the other normal vet stuff done, and we took her in earlier...

Are we advertising in posts now?

That sounds exactly like my dad when he had a heart attack and double bypass surgery about 12 years ago. I think I can sympathize. My heart goes out to you and her. I had no answer then and I have no...
