Need Your Help! Has Anyone Had Ot? School Project Question..

[Wagon]

Man, I'm always late with my broken bottle. Nice broadside guys. Could not have said any of this better myself.
I would hope that Mr. bedard is banned as well, because us angels don't need swine like that dirtying up our site. f*cking bastard.

This looks fun! Is it my turn yet?

Okay, researchers can help. Thank Christ there are people out there who care enough to try. Of course if those same said researchers are unable to understand and comprehend "Veteran's Only Community" then I don't know how stunning thier research results are going to be. This site is not the only place on the internet. There are many more, The PTSD Forum for example (also owned and maintained by Anthony) where researchers are welcome and encouraged to solisit. But this Forum is our place to sit and vent, without the prying eyes of a society that for the most part finds it nessicary to judge us. So no, outsiders are not welcome. If we want to see the newest research, then we can go else where and find it, without upsetting our peers.

Second off, I have no doubt that Anthony actually did help that OT. Probably sent her a nice long note explaining where she could go to conduct her research and canvas people. Probably even sent her a link to the PTSD Forum, and authorised her Log In. Your assumption that the OT was just uncerimoniously dropped is based purely or a post informing us that the rules of the forum were applied and the offender banned. You have no way of knowing what Anthony sent to explain the decission to the perpetrator. In the end, Anthony is interested in any aspect that could help the sufferer, and would most likely encourage any effort to help. So before you go off and explode, look around, read the rules, and understand that She was in the wrong, and the rules were enforced.

Third off, what is so big about today? Really? I think Red Devil may be on to something here. How could anybody who has been there even ask that question. Okay, some of the guys do have a hard time on Remembrance Day, but in the end, it's important to remember those we served with. Whether you raise a glass, or play a lament, We Will Remember Them. Period.

Forth off, I have seen an Occupational Therapist. 2 Days I will never get back. After 22 years in the Army, I'd hope my lifting technique is correct. Now lets talk about my specific needs. No? To much work to think outside your little box? Waste of time.

Fifth and final, Angel, my spelling is attrocious, can you send me that dictionary thing? If nothing else I can use it to hit the people who correct my spelling in the future!

`ere ya go zip, mate. LMAO

Link Removed

 

[Zipperhead]

The funny part here Angel is that the link doesn't work because you spelled dictionaries wrong. Irony!

 

[Anglesachse]

Oh f*ck yeah I did LMFAO

 

[Wagon]

Hahahaha. Now that's funny.

Goddammit! You guys throw a party and don't invite the old Sarg. I have about 150 different expletives in my profanity dictionary and most all apply to this idiot. Had the same disrespect laid in my lap Vet's Day. My pulmonary DR. schedules an appointment for me on VETERAN'S DAY, so, I rationalize, O.K., these shitheads don't understand what fighting for freedom is because they are too stupid to know how precious freedom is.

Then, they stick me in a five by five examination room for thirty-five f*cking minutes. To pace, to sit, to wish I had a Parkbrau, a Zanax, any f*cking thing. My fuse is shorter than my dick and I burst out of the room, tossing "YOU HAVE THE FLIPPING DR. CALL ME!", over my shoulder and walked out. That day, of all days, forchristsake.

When shitheads like this fail to comprehend what a Veteran stands for, you just wish they could spend just one hour in a three foot deep foxhole in the middle of a NVA motar barrage. Maybe, just maybe, they'd get the picture.

Load out.

Lets look at it another way gents. There must be 10 guys and gals that have not joined for every one of us that has. They lurk,read a bit, see there f*cktards come in and they dont feel like its worth joining or posting due to the arsewipes like these two. So in a way they are driven away by the same people who cant read and understand the terms of joining.
Love the dance with the spelling. I dont bother much. I cant type or spell. But I know I can use an m-60 or SAW from 600 meters... and if my legs would stop making so many snap crackel and pops I could still sneak up on them with a kabar.
Bedard? I cant understand your train of thought. She is not able to help us. She is not an OCT...She is trying to become one. How is her school paper going to help me? So If I learn to pick up a box right and my schrapnel damaged knee give out will she then teach me the proper way to cry on the ground until I can get help to stand? Think about it...She cant help us.
Also, I dont see anything in introductions about yourself. So I wonder if you would not mind letting us know a bit more about yourself and maybe details of something that sooths our disbelief that your in the right place for help.
If I were you, post most ricki-tiki. I think your some young kid who is joining the military soon and thought it would be cool to come in here and learn how to talk like a salty old vet.
Anthony, I think putting in a 24 hr wait for new members while they can post a note to you explaining themselfs might help out here. Its not that any of us want to deny someone help, we just want to feel a bit safer posting in here. This is my therapy and drugs for the time being. I love the site and all your hard work to bring in something for us fellow vets. I would hug you and all that shite but its more for Allen...so maybe he can hug you and Ill just take the photos... :)

Dan I think your diagnosis is about right. The kids certainly chose a bad day to rattle our cage. And it doesn't help our mates at the edge of the firelight. Is there any mileage in putting some kind of caution on the sign-up page?

In big letters, short words, the equivalent of 'You're breathing someone else's air'?

Shame to have to but there's a lot of stupid out there.

 

[reddevil1111]

-By the By Ned? thats a mighty mean and trim looking pussy you have. Been meaning to say that's just what I need mate.
But then you never know....your pus might not be all that eh? :) Cheers!

 

[Ned]

Leaving aside the inevitable pussy jokes (please) Chez Ned has usually had a mean & inventive moggy around.
I like watching their fieldcraft.

Well, I'm gonna take a turn here. Seems I missed the party. For what its worth, I'm a little fed up with people coming on this site to ask us questions about our experiences all in the name of "research" and "helping" us. This is my place to come and listen, learn and vent when I need to about experiences that only you guys would understand. I don't feel so alone when I'm here. To have this place violated by nosy do-gooders is offensive to me and really pisses me off! We seem to be getting a lot of them lately. For some, this is the only safe place they have to come and discuss freely what they are going through. I'm lucky to have a therapist who works well with me but for others this place is it. I know that I'm about to repeat myself here, but here goes, PEOPLE JUST DON"T GET IT! If you don't suffer from PTSD then you don't get it!

Anthony, I want to take a moment to thank you for all that you do keeping this site up and dealing with those who don't belong. This site has been a life saver for me and I really appreciate all the hard work that you put into it. For all of the rest of you. Thank you for always being there for me. You've help me more than you will ever know. Okay! Group hug!!

Just on a side note. I'm down to 14 working days. I'm so short that my feet dangle from the curb. Went to see my parents this past weekend. Dad is making slow progress, but progress is still progress. We've got a house in a little town called Callahan Florida. Not a lot of people and good schools for my kids. Its nice to have something to look forward to. All of the Veterans Day activities were sad for me. Lots of tears, but I'm makin' it. Take care everyone.

Love to All
Deb
