I'm glad you two worked it out ;).

I took advantage of tuition assistance prior to my release and earned my Bachelor's. I opted for the post 9-11 GI Bill and now receive housing allowance of an E5 plus full tuition with an in-state school to continue even higher education.

Yep, you're irrational.

You are right, there are on base apartments and homes. I was never married in the service so I can only relate my experience as a single person. But yes, base housing exists. I thought it was awesome to get $1400 a month at the age of 18 with no discernible skill at the time outside of waiting tables and working at…

I hate to say it but there is a reason the divorce rate is so high in the military. Prolonged stress and separation. But it generally tends to affect more enlisted than officers. But officers have a very separate type of promotion process. And things like stable families factor more into officer promotions than…

There are many factors at play here. I was enlisted in the AF in the early 2000s. I didn't make bank but I lived in dorms, had access to food, etc. Things that come into play are 18 year olds getting married to their highschool sweethearts because they can't stand to be away. This puts them out of dorm like living and…

You're ignoring Mike himself in this scenario. I don't commit crimes but I know if I'm trying to gather the courage to confront someone or know I must face something unpleasant my heart starts racing, my palms get sweaty and I have normal reaction to stress.

This is where emotion gets in the way. The reason the video was released is because it shows Mike Brown's state of mind minutes prior to being shot. He was combative, he bullied a smaller, older man and grabbed him by the neck before trying to throw him to the ground. He then came after him again before the old man…

I only wear SPF 30 but I've stopped fake tanning and deliberately trying to get a natural suntan for at least a decade. I love the look of my skin when it's more golden brown but I still look like I'm a twenty something rather than a 33 year old. A dear friend is a dermatologist and she says that aside from suspicious…

He had literally just physically assaulted a store clerk. He acted like a bully and turned on someone smaller than him with no regard to his own behavior.

I must be a weirdo. Baby bunnies are adorable. As are baby chicks. Give me a chick or a bunny and I will more than likely dote on the chick. Plus, grown chickens crack me up. Several friends do the 'free range' thing in their large back yards and they take care of the chickens while enjoying the fresh eggs every day.…

Ehhh... I've had rabbit ravioli at a Michelin starred restaurant. It was indeed phenomenally delicious.

I hear ya... I've had hundreds of recommendations just in the last couple of months and am pretty level headed and fair in discussions (sometimes I'm a dolt and acknowledge it) but now I'm back to greys. The last year or so seems pretty pointless (lost my long time burner about a year ago but have been frequenting…

No, they grasp new technology more quickly-just like when I was a kid and played Super Nintendo, I ran little game circles around any adult that played with me. That doesn't exactly translate into being more intelligent. Young minds always pick up on new things more quickly than adults, that's nature.

And quoting a 12 year old for some backup? My 13 year old niece thinks she's going to race street cars and make millions because of those Fast & Furious movies.

To be fair (and I just looked this info up because I have a soft spot for her), she gave birth to her first son in the fall of 2012, filming for TMNT started early in 2013 which took however long and then she was pregnant by that spring to give birth to her second son in Feb (I think) 14. So it's 7 months later with…

I finished it. Sissy!! ;). That music is way over the top.

Damnit!! I stopped it at the 1:58 mark because of this comment. lol

And if you can't spend 8 hours with a purchase of something that costs you over 10k, I'm not sure what to say. We're not talking about broke people in poverty. We are talking about people that can purchase new cars.

You sound like a pretty awesome mom.
