Hawaii, 2012 He told me I smell like gunpowder and and treason. "You smell like gunpowder and treason," he said, his first words to me with a smile that, from the way it met his brown eyes, I could tell he was boring, but in a pleasant way. A perfume I still wear sometimes that smells of...

I live reasonably close to a theater that plays indie and foreign films. A War is worth a watch if it's playing near you. It contains scenes that may trigger. Even the trailer could be a trigger. I honestly don't see it as an anti-war film, but a cinematic commentary on how paradoxical...

http://www.maxim.com/maxim-man/art-seduction/article/porn-star-jenny-jizz-thanking-veterans-with-blowjobs-2015-11 I want to be thanked by Ryan Phillipe. Or Chris Hemsworth.

Things have been unraveling for a while. I have no job now and I'm spending money like it's going out of style. My husband is in the process of moving out but he's still living in the house. He keeps finding reasons to delay the move but it should be sometime in the next few days. I'm...

http://www.stripes.com/news/veterans/former-medics-find-themselves-on-bottom-rung-in-civilian-field-1.344392 This x 1000. This is one of the many reasons I decided not to pursue a career in the medical field after all. My military service counted for absolutely nothing in said field and it's...

I seem to have a completely different idea of what an apology should be, compared to what most other people think. In my book, you can't be sorry unless you recognize what you did wrong and admit your mistake. Saying, "I'm sorry you feel that way" or something like that is not an apology. It's a...

The dog's been unusually needy towards my husband since Saturday. Now I keep fearing that's because something horrible is going to happen to my husband soon, and the dog senses it.

Yesterday, my father boarded a plane bound for Israel. He had promised his cousin that come hell or high water, he would be present for his niece's wedding. He started having second thoughts when the FAA banned all American airlines from landing in Ben Gurion Internat'l Airport on Tuesday...

Lack of personal liability. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/r-j-reynolds-tobacco-hit-for-billions-in-michael-johnson-sr-lawsuit/ I really want to drink a 12 pack of pop every day and then sue Coca-Cola for millions of dollars when I become immensely fat. Then I'd use ~10k of those winnings on...

This wasn't an issue on my last couple phones, but I got a new one the other day and it automatically connected to my Verizon Cloud. My last two phones didn't do that automatically. So my phone started loading all the pictures I've taken and received in the last like five years to a year and a...

My husband is a grown ass man, almost 30, and he throws tantrums. I'm wondering if his parents did something horribly wrong to encourage this behavior into his adulthood. If they couldn't parent properly and consistently, they should have at least beat it out of him before he reached manhood...

I couldn't stand not having a bird. This is Chewie, the newest member of my family. He's a baby green cheek conure. (LOL rapid capture took like 20. He looked like a dark green blur in the other 16.) I tried editing this post so that my mug on the homepage doesn't scare off potential members...

I'm a realtor in NJ. Or I was until moving to Niagara Falls NY. My husband and I are looking at homes to buy up here. He wants his blue collar dream. Fine. I guess I'm not yet done letting him drag me around the country (I met him after I got out, he was still in) but he said this was the last...

It's bursting at the f*cking seams because I'm drunk, as usual. I couldn't just shut down. When others could just stuff their feelings deep down inside indefinitely, I could only find the strength to do so until I had a moment to let myself feel. I never developed my emotional shields. Or maybe...

This probably doesn't warrant its own thread because it's not really something that affects me. I typed it out in "What Makes you Angry Today?" but it's so long that I moved it to its own home. It's pissing me off so much! It took me all morning to get my thoughts together enough to type this...

This started in Hawaii where people keep their car windows open. I usually had an old take out soda drink in the car and, when I could find it, Reed's Ginger Beer. It's not alcoholic. They come in glass bottles. Someone's being a jackass on the road? Throw a half-full cup of flat soda at his...

At the risk of causing some members to fly into a rage... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2562482/We-fun-funeral-Soldier-suspended-picture-Honor-Guard-fooling-flag-draped-coffin-online-derogatory-comments.html ...I was unaware that burying the dead inside was an option. I want to...

Who needs a breeder or a shelter when you can find a dogfreeloader on the side of the highway? He runs like a doofus.

Nothing to see here.

Because whoever keeps telling him that he can wear the pants is very misguided. I wish he'd stop trying to put them on. They don't fit him anyway.

I know that lack of sleep is a common problem for us, but I don't seem to fit into that particular mold. I sleep for 10-12 hours a day and still don't feel rested. If I get the normal 6-8 hours of sleep, I'm even more sleepy throughout the day. Even less? I'll be passing out by dinnertime, lol...

You are probably going to want to kick me for this... But... The Twilight book series pretty much got me through my deployment to Iraq in '09. I know that the main character (Bella) is a terrible role model for young girls because she does absolutely nothing and Edward only loves her because...

I married a car guy. I get it. It's a hobby. You buy a piece of shit car for a song and with some time, money, and elbow grease, you turn it into something reliable and pretty (and maybe turn a profit). I like to tell people that I met a guy who had a creepy mustache and a Camaro, that I agreed...

...because anything that could get me drunk tasted horrid so f*ck that. But now I've discovered mead/honey wine. My husband nurtures it (because he's in the military and a drunkard himself). My family deals with it.

I only agreed to go to my boyfriend's command picnic at Hickam AFB in Hawaii because everyone on his ship was required to attend except if they were on duty or working. The sailors were encouraged to bring their families, and that includes girlfriends I suppose. There was a cotton candy...
