Hey. Those thousand mixed piece buckets of megablocks were the poo poo. I built all sorts of stupid poo poo with those. Kids these days, no loving imagination.

That and nothing is quite as satisfying as being a 10 year old, building a gently caress-off huge thing, filling it with Black Cats firecrackers bought across the border in Indiana and blowing it up in the middle of the street with the neighbor kids.

Holy poo poo how did I survive childhood.

I sometimes wonder if our collective generations here are seeing the absolute end of some childhood classics.

Then again, lawn darts were banned in the 70s and we still had a couple sets in the basement.

Hey, I used to have a lot of those!

I made the mistake of googling that set number. Rare? Vintage? 215 bucks!? Jesus gently caress I probably let a couple thousand bucks of nerd nostalgia go when I got rid of my giant box of legos over a decade ago. I've regretted that decision ever since.

Yeah Legos were way more expensive than megablocks. If you had megablocks as a kid you couldn't bring your blocks out unless you knew they were mega block poor parent crew too.

I guarunfuckingtee you there is an inverse relationship between gluten allergies and Megablock ownership.

Bet that.

True but my family was the best kind of family I could ask for because they were: :ssh:minus one uncle hanging in the family tree:ssh: white.


For real if your parents are black the best part of your family name is in the white space between all those Q's d's and R's in your urban heritage name. And if you don't understand why: It's because at least the blank spaces in your name on government welfare and food stamp paperwork is white- and therefore of social and humane utility. Unlike you and your unfortunately fertile family.

I did some research one time. You can buy individual spare parts from overseas and easily reassemble them into a full set. If you were inclined to do so.

I'm not sure if she passes the fat / high / desperate enough test now that's she's potentially got a future niglet in her womb. She could have been good breeding stock right there till she done tainted that baby chute with tar and DNA database matches.

I wonder how tight her turd cutter is now that she's has at least one Sambo bore her out in hole #1.

I still think you should message that chick I dated that you matched on OkCupid before and tell her I want that old goddamn old grinder back bc I know she's too dumb to figure out how to unlock the kief tub on that thing and there were grams of kief in it when it got left in her room. Also mention that she's a whore. She's actually really into dudes calling her a whore. And choking the gently caress out of her.

Fun girl then.

Was lawn darts actually fun? I always wanted a set just because of the unattainable and all that.

All war is deception.
This happened last week.

http://m.imgur.com/3GGCpun

I was represented by Disabled Veterans of America. My initial rating was at 90%, which happened only 5 months after ETS, and then I applied for individual unemployability back in December.

Also you can receive SSDI and VA bennies simultaneously.

Also if you are rated 100% through individual unemployability or you're rated 100% total and permanent, you can have all of your student loans discharged.

It should be standard knowledge for everyone leaving the military to immediately apply for benefits through a veterans organization and to apply for everything possible. Trying to fight for disability years down the road is a nightmare, but if done within the first year it's a very quick process.

31 May 13 DOS
Filed initial paperwork with DAV in February 2014
Filed claims with DAV December 2014
VA sends me medical appointments in January 2015
Appoints in February and March 15. Last one was March 9th.
DAV sent me unofficial VA rating this weekend.


Pretty quick all things considered despite me sitting on it for nearly a year.

Tinnitus is an easy claim. I had it on file right before getting out. The VA audiologist asked me some rather guided questions (in my favor) and made it a slam dunk. The lower back injury stuff--I don't honestly know why the VA took that and not the myriad of other stuff. Seems like there's no rhyme or reason.

I did quickstart program for my claim, claiming only tinnitus and primary lymphedema on my left foot.

Turned that poo poo in like a month after my EAS date to MacDill as it was the closest military base.
Waited a year and heard nothing
Called VA and asked what the gently caress was up
VA says they never got it
VA calls MacDill asking what the gently caress
MacDill goes lol woops we never mailed it

Got my determination a month after I finally got all that poo poo sorted with a total time elapsed of around 20 months. I got pretty hosed on my determination regardless and the appeal process loving blows.

Does it? I'm mulling over spending more time and energy filing an appeal if the success rate is pretty low. I hear the process is literally years.

I did mine in 2009- Went in for the assessment in October, Got my rating in January 2010. Claimed both knees, backpain, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Got one knee and tinnitus, which I was happy with since I basically had no paperwork on my poo poo.

If you are going to be hanging out at the OPC in Viera. Get Biggs as your Primary.

O'Kelley and Charbaneau for sad brains.

The advocate is pretty decent and will work to get poo poo done. Records suck, if you are there long enough to get hungry, starve because the canteen is horrible. Also, stop by to see the nutrition staff at least once, but make sure the wife isn't with you. Other than that, expect to die before getting any real medical care. ALso, stay out of Weusthoff medical anything.
