Being a Christian and a Soldier is Hard

[No-Twitch-Tabitha]

I don't look at PTSD as punishment anymore -- more like a signal. It's like pain -- your nervous system uses pain to alert to you that something is not right...

Hi Tabitha, how are you. Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. There is still the soldier in my blood, after all I served 15 years. It will always be there.
Despite me having Combat Stress, I would do it all again if I had to live my life again. Because despite my health as it is now, There was a lot of good times when I thought that I was making a difference to peoples lives in a small way, we are not just trained to kill, we are trained to help out people less fortunate than ourselves, I think thats what makes us the best in the world.
I was in Berlin with my regiment the night that the Wall came down, and I think that the Lord was involved in that in some small way. And the joy on peoples faces was wonderful to see. I drunk a few bottles of beer that night and a few kisses from the Frauliens as well. I will never forget it as long as I live.
Cheers

Uh-oh...you didn't catch Hasselhoff (sp) didja? :biggrin:

 

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Tabitha,
What has David Hasselhoff got to do with it?
Scott:hello: :dont-know

 

[No-Twitch-Tabitha]

Wasn't he singing his song, "Freedom", on the wall when it went down?

 

[Scott_Fraser]

I don't know Tabitha, but its a pity the Wall didn't fall down on top of him. LOL.
Why do you call yourself No Twitch Tabitha.

Random idiot: Your name's Tabitha? Whoa, is that your real name?
Me: Yes, it is.
Random idiot: Wow - were you named after that kid from Bewitched?
Me (getting annoyed because this is only the 2,000,000,000,000th time I have been asked this in my life): No, I wasn't.
Random idiot (ignoring the fact that I'm staring daggers at him and ignoring the answer to the previous question): Can you twitch your nose like her?
Me: No, I can't - if I could, you wouldn't be in front of me asking such stupid questions.

Other person walks away in a huff because I refuse to laugh at his unoriginal, uninspired, insipid pop culture reference.

Anyway, the answer to your question is "I'm the Tabitha who doesn't twitch her nose", hence No-Twitch Tabitha.

 

[Scott_Fraser]

Sorry Tabitha, never mind i don't twitch my nose either. I've never watched bewitched anyway. I just liked your name Tabitha, its different.
Scott:hello:

 

[No-Twitch-Tabitha]

I love my name. It's just I get tired of people who ask me if I'm named after some kid on a TV show.

 

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Tabitha
Yeah you should like your name, its lovely.
