    Mia - A New Addition To Our Family

    Very cute! I'm jealous, I'd love to get a dog, but not enough room and don't think the cats would be happy with me. LOL @lostforgottensoul , agreed! Adoption is the way to go! I wonder if this is cultural. When I went to the UK earlier this year I was quite surprised by all the (clearly) pure...

    E-cigarettes / Vaporizers In The Uk

    @hodge I'm glad to know there are filters available for that sort of thing! @FridayJones fortunately he does love surprises. Hasn't had anyone (specially a female) care for him in a long, long time and I can tell he feels loved when he gets gifts...as well it should. He is so appreciative...

    E-cigarettes / Vaporizers In The Uk

    Thanks, @FridayJones . Very helpful! That does seem like a nice one to start off with and the price is not bad at all. I've crunched some numbers and think he should save around $25 a week, at least. $1300 a year ain't pocket change! That's me guesstimating how much juice he'd go through, of...

    Lies, Broken Promises, And Radical Acceptance

    I'm sorry about your situation. I don't really have any advice, but perhaps this will bump the thread back up and someone helpful will see it. Aside from that, it does sounds, from your side of the story, as if you're being perfectly reasonable on all counts; communicating, making agreements...

    General Found My New "supporter's Anthem"

    Thanks for sharing, it is a great song! I'm gonna have to give a listen to their other stuff. :playful:

    This Is Goodbye

    I hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave! LOL But for real, it was nice meeting you and I wish you all the best. Go forth and conquer! You can end up exactly where you want, so go make it happen. :hug: :smug:

    E-cigarettes / Vaporizers In The Uk

    Hey everybody, I'm looking for some information about smoking alternatives, particularly ones that are readily available and relatively cheap in the UK. Some back story, Tater smokes...a lot. 2 packs a day of Lambert and Butler silver. He complains about the cost and has considered (and bought)...

    General Little Worried

    I remembered today that he has a little Buddha on his mantle, so I took a chance and went through some guided meditation videos on Youtube and sent one. Maybe he'll watch and maybe it'll help...or not.

    General Little Worried

    Thanks everyone. I'm going to assume, unless and until something new develops, that he was just making a passing comment like we all do at times. The fact that he said it 3 times made me start to worry, but you know, whe he gets real anxious like this his memory does seem to take a bit of a...

    General Little Worried

    Exactly, that's why I questioned him without accusing him of having those thoughts or giving him a list of consequences (like I'll tell your friend/the authorities). I turned it into a joke, almost. I said, "I hope you're being flippant, cause if you do anything I'll beat your ass." That may...

    General Little Worried

    Tater has been in a funk since about November 20th. He's been dealing with his favorite PTSD trigger - bureaucratic red tape. This has been going on for a long time now, but it's been ramped up these past few months and his brain finally had enough. He is now taking a break from everything...

    General A Little Unsure

    The "It's a privilege, not a right" sounds good to me. As per usual, I think they probably don't grasp the full extent of the situation. LOL Busted at the Chick!

    Relationship Rebound Relationships And Dating Websites

    Ewww, gross! LOL It takes me about 6 months before I start thinking that I'm ready to meet someone new and try again. I've done the internet dating and Meetup group routes a few times. Yep, you can meet some freaks and guys that are only out for some fun, for sure, but you can also meet some...

    Question For Sufferers About Your Home "safe Space"

    As a supporter, I can share my experience. I met my veteran online, it wasn't a dating site, neither of us expected to develope any relationship at all. It should have been a one and done conversation.:) We wrote and skyped for over a year before we met. He let me stay in his home for 2 weeks...

    Questions For Veterans About Isolation

    Agreed, excellent as usual, Friday. You always impress. But this quote is my favorite take away. How many times have supporters heard the "you can do better than me" speech? I've read it so many times here from people when shit hits the fan and I know I've been on the receiving end of it...

    General Things People Say After A Break Up

    We never know what soemone else is or has gone through to make them the way they are, so I always do my best to give the benefit of the doubt. Another thing though, is that I think people really don't think about us as much as we think they do. So take heart, even if you were bitchy one day...

    A Letter Introducing My Shadow

    I met my friend online and after just a few weeks he told me about his combat PTSD through a letter. I fell in love with him even after his "warning"...which is what it was. I know he prefers to deal with big issues through email because it usually gives him time to think and collect his...

    General Things People Say After A Break Up

    You've owned your role in the down turn of the relationship since it hit the fan. You've been very mature and intraspective about the whole thing. Tater has told me stories about his ex wife. She sounds extremely manipulative and selfish. I'm also positive he could be a real asshole when he...

    Relationship Blindsided!

    I don't have any words of wisdom, I'm afraid. I'm just so sorry for you, I can't imagine how shocked and broken hearted you are. That is terrible and he absolutely did do something wrong, even if she didn't reciprocate his feelings and they never slept together... it's still cheating. Don't let...

    Are you taking it for insomnia or a sore muscle? Erimin is a tranquilizer. Skip the energy drink and go with water.

    When Someone On The Board Goes Missing

    I only joined in May of this year, but there is someone who I was speaking with privately who did disappear under very strained circumstances. She was at rock bottom and extremely depressed, hopeless. I honestly have no idea if she is okay or if she took her life in her own hands. Wish we could...
