  1. From my recliner with a cold Shiner Bock...…….TEXAS!!!!!!!
  2. Sorry for y'all's loss, VA and Bert. Losing a family member hurts.
  3. Sorry to hear about your friend, man. I hope they catch the fuckers responsible.
  4. Weener Hounds love the beach. The last 3 senior rescues we had also went nuts.....they didn't want to leave.
  5. What y'all are doing is the best thing anyone can be doing for those folks right now. Just being there, creating a fun distraction, even if just for a little while. Knowing y'all are there and that you care is priceless. Keep being a good friend. We'll keep the thoughts and prayers coming.
  6. Anyone try the Dreamcloud mattress? I've seen it advertised online. About 1500.00 for a King, 365 day free return policy.
  7. I was just given 2 tickets to the game tonight. It will be the first game the wife and I have gone to in almost 3 years. I'm psyched.
  8. That is mesmerizing...…..lol
  9. Damn. Thoughts and prayers to that young man and his family for healing and strength.
  10. Wow. Thoughts and prayers to you, your family, and those families hurting right now. May you be given strength to face anything , calm in the face of storm, and perseverance to weather whatever lies ahead. May the doctors' hands and minds be guided to provide the best outcome of healing. If you need us, we are here.
  11. That damn aggy on channel 13 better be right, or im gonna put my boot so far up his ass he'll be polishing the toe with his tongue.
  12. Seems you and I have drank from the same cup...…….
  13. Quasimofo, Sorry for your loss.
  14. From 1973 to 2001. Saw numerous auto accidents, bunch of GSWs, 4 aircraft accidents, 3 suicide by gunshot, various other shit. Burned, torn apart bodies, blood everywhere, tots to geriatrics, saved some, lost some, a bunch already dead...…..fucks with your mind after a while.
  15. All the dachshunds I have owned wouldn't attack anything but a buttered bisquit…. or bacon.
  16. I probably don't deserve to ask anything, what with my shitty outlook and disposition. But this isn't about me, but is one more worry to add to my list. My daughter is a single mom. No help from dad (doesn't want him involved, long story and I agree with her) She has struggled with emotional and mental health issues as well as epilepsy for most of her life. About ten years ago she also got hurt (back) and is permanently disabled. Though independent as can be, she tried to continue working, but finally had to admit she couldn't and applied for and was granted SSI disability. She is doing a great job raising my grand daughter, despite her limitations. Did I say independent? She has always wanted to have her own living space and not live with me, her mother or other relatives. In fact, she lives in Denton, away from everyone, just to show she can make it on her own. She has only asked me for financial help one time in the last 8 years, but I do help her out some financially, as much as I can, by just sending her 30-40 dollars a couple time a month. I don't know if her mother helps her or not as we don't speak much. The last couple of years, she has actually gotten a little worse on her mental health issues, with more meds helping some. Physically, two years ago, her docs prescribed a walker for her and last year put her in a scooter for when she needs to go distances over 200 ft or more. Last month, she had a benefits review and today got a letter saying she no longer qualifies and will no longer receive any benefits. Poor kid called me distraught and crying. Anyone know of a good SSI attorney ( not one of the ones that flood tv with ads) near or in Denton?
  17. First off, congratulations on all of you that have quit drinking, smoking, got off meds, got on meds or whatever that has helped you get better. I salute each and everyone of you. Keep up the good work. As for me......well, I'm headed the other way. Never really drank much my entire life. But the last few months, me and Don Julio have become very good friends. I'm taking up the slack for those of you who have quit. For the last 2+ years, I've ate everything in sight and never darken the door of a gym. Don't intend to either. Checked my weight the other day for shits and giggles and I'm a svelt 275 lbs........ at 5' 9"... yeah I look sexy........not. For those boys and girls who have just joined in, I've been tagged with depression on and off for 15+ years, PTSD for about 3.5 years, gone through two floods in 2 years, so I've effectively lost everything I've worked for over my adult life. Now, looks like I'm at the very least going to be legally separated from my wife of 14 years (as of 1 May). Host of other shit I wont go into. So, here I find myself, staring 62 right down the road, damn near broke, living in a tiny, POS trailer, burnt out on fighting all the shit that has been beating on me since I was a kid, and especially since I retired from the air force 10 years ago. I don't have much fight left. Time to sit on the porch, a Margarita in one hand, and give the world the finger with the other. For those of you that are on the right track back, stay with it. Don't be like me. Cheers.
  18. Always has to be one fucker that comes in and shits on someone's post just because the way it was written got their grammar or term usage panties in a wad. Well, fuck you. You just go on tooting your own horn for your getting off meds. I wont comment any more.
  19. Would it have made you feel better if I had used the term " Thoroughly know and understand your problem" then " Find out why it causes you to act like you do and incorporate coping skills to allow you to keep it under control"? Yeah how I put it might have been a little clichéd, but spending 25+ years writing up thousands of reports in the military tends to creep ion to my personal writing. So excuse the Hell out of me. But congratulations on getting to the point you are with your personal demon. I wish you much success.
