i know i'm just one person, but a $500 electric bill is unfathomable to me. my bill has only been over $100 like... twice in 18 months.

I live in a 1920s vintage apartment building with all utilities included. Even with my radiators shut off my apartment will easily hit 80f during the day; I've had a box fan in an open window all winter, including times when it was -10f outside just to keep the temp below 75. In the summer I can run my AC 24/7 for a flat $40 a month fee.

It's an old rear end house, the owner has barely taken care of it, and the heat is a gas furnace. poo poo is still ridiculous though.

The lows aren't so low yet but the highs just keep coming. Word of advice to anyone, make sure the woman or man you are gonna have kids with is a good match for you. You'll learn how to parent together but if you are always fighting the kids will see and mimic it. It's how I stopped that part of my PTSD. Seeing my kid yell at my wife really made me go "that's from me. I shouldn't be doing that."

That's the best parenting advice. Your kids grow up as products of you. If you aren't excellent, they aren't excellent.

You can also apply this to more than your family, it requires a lot of patience and love but I've been happier overall. Like sarcasm and snark are easy, convincing your friends to follow their dreams, taking time to understand their motivations, and contribute to their happiness take effort.

A large ftx, redeployments, and a couple of historic events that roll into the 75th anniversary of the 101st. He should suck it up and just finish the deployment instead of dragging you over there to replace him. Depends on how bad you wanna deploy I guess.

I don't understand the point of strykers. You can fart in the wrong direction in these things and they'll be deadlined. Doesn't help that an SBCT has the maintenance support of a IBCT while it needs support more like an ABCT. I want to trade in my strykers for humvees.

You'd think again if you saw some of the IED hits Strykers took in my old unit. No way I'd have wanted to be in a humvee for those. edit: jfc this is the most old man 'back in my day' message I've posted in months now
