Appreciate it. Yea I definitely have felt pressure to get further because of my age. I think at this point, I need to settle into a role instead of chasing money.

I know I don’t *technically* know you but we’ve been on this gay little forum a long time, so in a way I feel like I sort of know you. And from what I do know of you I believe you’ll succeed at whatever you endeavor to do, and I genuinely wish you the best of luck man.

Mr. Nice- why not start your own private vet law practice? Handle C&P claims/appeals, DoD Disability/med board/PEB/CRSC stuff. You won’t get rich doing it, but it won’t break your brain and you’ll get to help your fellow brothers and sisters in arms. You could just charge reasonable fees to do the work- like $200 for a PEB or C&P appeal. You can even just work from home and have a virtual law practice.

Dudes that have lawyers help in their disability process seem to have the best outcomes. I got lucky without one but as I understand it that is the exception, not the rule.

If you need someone that’s versed in the issues to help you as I guess a paralegal I’d totally help you out. I’m no lawyer, but I by god know the DoD and VA disability system inside and out.

All my TV’s are 55 inch LCD HDTV’s from 2010-2012. These were upgrades from my 42 inch 720P plasma screen and a 61inch projection HDTV.

I haven’t been in a Best Buy or an electronics section at a retail store because I just know I’ll buy a new TV on the spot.

I finally decided to upgrade my den TV (Where I keep the gaming consoles). My budget is ~2k. I’m getting the biggest bestest loving TV I can. Pair it up with my Dolby 5.1 surround sound, and rewatch every movie I can think of. How much bandwidth does UHD streaming eat? I’m only on a 100meg connection. Can that support streaming UHD on one tv and regular HD on my other devices at the same time? I realistically only get 70 megs down.

Friends little pit dachshund mix. Smaller dog and him got into it apropos of nothing, but we think they were both stressed out over the wind.

Bummed out, Sputnik is kinda limited to being at home now because he's become more dog aggressive as the years go on. He just gets too hyper at parks and on walks. I don't know how to get him active and exercised while simultaneously keeping him away from other dogs.

I've tried what I know to try to stay calm and poo poo, but my anxiety over this is at a ten.


You need the miracle drugs Zoloft and Klonopin my man. Anxiety is like a 3-4 for me instead of the 8-10 that it was pre-medication.

Have you tried any of the deep breathing and positive thinking exercises the shrinks push? They seem to help others too.

gently caress anxiety.

Podcast and/or audiobook recommendations for a 14 hour drive? Gotta go to SC this weekend for a funeral.

Wastelands and Wastelands 2. They’re a post apocolyptic stories anthologized and well done audiobooks. It’s got stories from George R.R. Martin, Orson Scott Card, Hugh Howey, and even Stephan King. Most stories are in the 45 minute range, some are shorter, others are longer but it’s really top notch listening. Some really good post-appoc fiction, and with a lot of different varieties and styles of writing and narration.

A++ would recommend to anyone.

Found the books, just not sure about having to sign up to audible to get the audiobook lol

Audible is great man, they’re an amazon company now- but it’s still great for Audiobooks. If you get a paid subscription you get a monthly token that’s good for one audiobook regardless of cost- I use mine on expensive $25 dollar books since my monthly rate is 6.99 or 9.99 or something like that. You can bank up to 5 coins at a time, too, if you don’t find anything you want. Though with as big as there library is, you’ll find something you want. To listen in the car just pull up the audible app on your smart phone and play it through your speakers. They also have a web based cloud player, and apps for Android and Apple tablets. Also amazon tablets have audible highly integrated.. it’s my primary platform, on my Fire HDX 8.9”.

All of my podcasts I subscribe to are super nerdy- I watch/listen to Joe Rogan at my weed guys house whenever I’m trying to get high. I just roll my eyes at the MRA/Red Pill bullshit my weed guy (and sometimes old Joe) gets into. I like his stoner talk and mma talk. And I don’t particularly like mma.

So yeah, there you have it.


Gonna plug one of my favorite podcasts: I don’t even own a television. The Ready Player One and Snowcrash episodes made me cry they were so funny.

It’s amazing what my wife can make our kids eat when it’s shoved in some bread.

Dude yeast rolls are the loving poo poo. I flirt with type 2 diabetes every thanksgiving when my wife makes dozens of yeast rolls. I’ll just eat those delicious sumbitches by themselves. Or with turkey and Mac and Cheese. God I’m getting fat thinking about it. Or at least erect.

gently caress I love food. I have barely started cooking and I love it. Watching all the food-related poo poo on netflix. Home cooking has definitely helped me cut weight. Fresh & raw ingredients when I can.

Girlfriend doesn’t do meat so that’s never in the home—so I’ve heavily cut that out. I’m starting to drink the kool-aid that maybe avoiding or heavily cutting out meats and maybe even *gasp* being vegetarian or vegan is the future. But let’s not go down that rabbit hole.

But lol @ not eating eggs.

My old man has got me eating/liking this vegan beef substitute called Better than Beef. If your ever serious about going vegan they make decent burgers. We have a Memphis area chain called Huey’s, and they’re essentially famous for their burgers, they sell Better than Beef burgers now too. It’s a legit good product. Healthy too.
