My wife takes care of the bills and such. As soon as I start to try and figure them out I short circuit between the ears and nothing makes sense. I get a small allowance each month. This is fine by me as long as I get to put a few treats for me in the grocery basket, my Mtn. Dew, some beer and...

I don't do this very often. Well in fact almost never, it could be life threatening. Yesterday my stress cup was almost topped off, so as I was driving my wife to Wal Mart I told her we were entering a silence zone - she had to shut up. She was doing that nervous talking about nothing thing...

The best way to find out if you have PTSD is if you go to a trained, licensed mental health care provider. No one here is going to say you have or don't have PTSD. That would be practicing mental health care or giving mental health care without a license.

Laser pointer = ultimate lazy persons cat toy. Simple flick of the wrist and can send cat across the house chasing the dot. Few bucks at pet store, around a dollar at most dollar stores.

US info (sorry it's the only info I've really looked up. EU is usually much more restrictive). I've done a lot of research because I am in the process of training my own dog. She is 1 1/2 yrs old and meets the most basic requirements - She can do at least two things for me to alleviate my...

Welcome to the forum.

I wanna get a miniature horse to REALLY f*ck with people, but my dog would get jealous.:ROFLMAO:

There have been many articles on CNN and elsewhere about the VA scandal. I've wanted to post them all, but don't want to turn this site into my personal vendetta. I have to post this though as it summarises many of the previous articles and exposes more...

Yes, I've had to put to sleep many pets over the years. It hurts like hell, but when they have nothing but pain, it's selfish to try and keep them alive. Yes there will be a time of great pain during the mourning process for anyone who truly loves their pet(s). That too shall pass. I still tear...

I've been to the VA nut house 6 times or so now. Almost every time I've been there, the VA docs have said I would benefit from going to Palo Alto VA clinic for PTSD for long term care - 3 to 6 months in house care. No one has ever followed through with their own recommendations. I had my first...

The Kurds have every reason to hate us. President Cheney and VP Bush promised them we would support them in G2 if they helped us. Well when the shit hit the fan, we were nowhere to be found in northern Iraq, left them all fight on their own or to die. I thought that was so f*cked up. No wonder...

I hope they listen to you and help you in an appropriate manner. Well, I don't have as many conditions, but I feel like I've been playing whac-a-mole since shortly after I sought help in Dec 2008. I get one issue beat into submission and as I'm doing that the other issues rest and recuperate...

A flash mob getting hit by a fecal gale.... the gale wins with a knock out (and years of therapy, civilians are so weak)!

Congratulations.

I took the safe road because the post was in "Suicide and Depression" section. It was hard to figure out which way you were posting. Usually you follow up and give more info, but I just wanted to make sure you were around still to do the follow up. I hope things are getting better for you..

Ok, I forgot to add "Who Did You Look Up To The Most While Serving"? in the body of the post. I was hoping that others would add to the thread some positive examples of people that inspired them while serving. It doesn't have to have anything to do with PTSD. I understand if no one wants to...

Found this site from national Suicide Prevention Lifeline's FaceBook page. http://mantherapy.org At first it looks like a spoof, but it's dead serious (Pun intended? duno...) Suicide prevention themed for the tough guy. Serious shit bro. If your having "issues" or need help, check it out. It's...

If the wind blows out a candle (and actual candle, not reference to a life), you can always light the candle again and let it bring light to it's surroundings. When I get down, really down I have to remember two things. I say two because one or the other doesn't always work. 1. (active) I am...

Link Removed I post it here because... I just can't let it go. I also don't want to mislead anybody that my career ended with a golden halo around it after leader #3. I crashed and burned because I wouldn't play nice with the neurotic egotistical son of a bitch ADC new Division Chief. He loved...

Last night it took me a while to fall asleep. Rather than end up thinking about all the crap I usually do, I tried to come up with something new, something different to think about. Something positive out of those 20 years I served instead of all the pain and suffering it's caused me. After a...

I apologize if I misread your post, which I apparently did. The conversation about what a woman wears "causing" rape is older than I am by far. Trying to understand this and many other topics I've tried most of my life to read, watch, listen to many shows and conversations over my 48 yrs on this...

From personal experience, "Guy talk" - when only the guys are around, countless scientific studies, ect... When you boil out all the political correctness, the wives tales, the BS, Guys are visual beasts - the first thing we notice is how a woman looks, what is her figure - is she a possible...

This probably should go into another thread, but not much more can be said, and it wouldn't have the context that is already in this thread. Last post by me on this topic. Link Removed <--- link

IMHO shit happens in war. War is not perfect. The U.S. just killed 5 U.S. service members in a friendly fire incident just a few days ago. I don't think anybody wakes up in the morning and says to themselves "Hmmm, today is a great day for some friendly fire... who can I kill today"?!? People...
