Well, caught up to you guys again. Some heavy reading. I'm not a big fan of the disability process, but I hope you get lucky Kraven. I have a husband who should be on disability, but the judge disagreed. If he lived with my husband a few days, it would've been obvious to him. We got tired of fighting & gave up. That was about 15 years ago. Wish I woulda kept trying. So, jump through those hoops Kraven & see where it takes you.

I feel the same way Rose, if kraven feels like disability will be the best option for him now, then it should be available. He risked his life, and forever carries the scars.
I remember verbatim the dedication in the book All Quite On The Western Front.
"This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war."

Those last twelve words speak volumes. We see it every day, with homeless, and with productive citizens of our society.

Morning O.F.C. The wind is down some, clear & cold. Think I will make the trip to Tai Chi this morning... First some :joint4:

Sorry :48:

 

[Kraven]

Thanks for all the caring wishes, I have been Dx with PTSD and underlying rage disorder in 2003, so have seen a private shrink for12 years now, meds help....mainly keeps me from remembering ..or caring to remember. Finally saw VA shrink this year and they have been pushing for me to file also, well now I am. I'm sorry to bring this to the boards, I normally wont speak of it other than I was a Marine with three tours of duty is south west asia. Wont really talk about it more, angry I was not approved in 2005....times are better now and it seems I'm more likely to get a 100% based on what the VA peeps are telling me....it just feels wrong, until last night when i realized I'm really scarred....and I upheld my end of the bargain, i was willing to give my life.... in return, America said she would take care of me. I have done the best I can, now "I need a lil help from my friends.) Its really hard to be one person that feels like two....the one I show the world, and the real broken me. Pride has kept me from utilizing the services provided to veterans of war....not anymore......still trying to find a job, scared...lost...mainly just tired of it all....really just tired. peace

 

[mrcane]

Kraven, hang in there my friend, And keep doing their paperwork.
Throw the pride away,you earned it..
It's not easy Bro...I know, I'm scared... And it's not from war,just a war within..

Peace Bro; :48:

Morning O.F.C. !-- I'm glad I'm normal and don't have any problem at all !-- That's funny other Keef !-- --We've all had a painful injury -- The mind can't recreate the pain U felt which is a good thing !-- Who would want to remember exactly how a broken leg or something felt!-- This is the mind protecting it's self!-- This is a tool!-- The brain is the hard ware and the mind is the software!-- Those raw spots in the mind must be covered by a mental filter that U must create yourself!-- I know for sure Kraven and Cane have used such filters --shut the emotions down and do work!-- U have to be able to look at what happened thru a filter-- Those emotions will lead U straight to dark places !--Put that stuff in a mental box-- acknowledge what in the box but don't open it and think about those things!-- Ever run until U about to die and get a second wind and push on !-- Avoid stress whenever possible !!-- Stress can make it hard to maintain control!-- Best Wishes!-- There is no drug that will fix this! The mind must adapt !!- These things had a big part in making U who U are !-- Puff-Puff pass!-- Staying high helps!

 

[Keef]

Nes --Find U a couple capsules and empty them out !-- Put so.e weed in the oven at 230 degrees fow 30 minutes!- --Find something that wl fit into the caps and pack them full of that weed!-- If it's bud you'll only need a couple caps-- Chase them with some oil of food!-- The oil or food is important for obsorbion!-- Takes about and hour before it kicks in !-- Nice long lasting buzz!

 

[Hippie420]

Got through the second grocery bag worth of buds last night. Damn, that finger hash is killer! I'm guessing six more sacks to go. No rest for the wicked. I'm thinking the bubble is going to be epic this year. Don't really need any, but I ain't tossing it out either.

 

[yarddog]

Must be nice, to have extra smoke. Ha-ha.

 

[Keef]

I know that's right Dog ! -- I'm getting there!--Hippie U ever find your grow map?-- Ya'll say anything U cross with Chem Dawg gets a boost in potency -- Cross it on my Tranquil Elephantizer and see what happens cause she already a freak!

 

[bozzo420]

Kraven. file for everything . as soon as you can. That gulf war illness is you agent orange. I have neuropathy from it ,but because I did not report it till 20 years later ,it was denied. They want a paper trail . file as soon as possible for everything. they denied my neuropathy but gave me 10% for ringing in the ears. lol go figure.

 

[Rosebud]

Good morning guys. smoking some nordle, thinking on moving on to something a bit stronger.. I hope you all have a good day. Really!

keef, thank you for the thoughts. I take so many supplements and eat a lot of salmon when i can get it. And, you might be right about the bone spur.

Hippie, i keep thinking about surgery too, NOT, don't want it.

 

[umbra]

Good Morning OFC. YD it looks like the block on my engine cracked from overheating. It is going to cost more than I want to spend, however...my head stash will take my son and I a couple of years to smoke. 10 or so strains to smoke, hash, and bho. So with the success of my first commercial grow, comes the luck of the Irish and something major goes wrong.

 

[Keef]

Umbra U grow any Gorilla Glue #4 ?--How does it compare to the T.E. ?

 

[Kraven]

I got up and talked to the garden, it's doing well and thanks all of you for your support. Giggy, I filed in 2005 and they denied me, was ahamed so never followed up, now I'm throwing the kitchen sink at them. Gulf War Illness, Unk Small bowel Disease, Anxiety Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Anger Disorder, PTSD, Orthopedic Issues, Tinnitus, loss of hearing, Stage 2 Melanomas, COPD I'm shooting for the whole ball game and I'm gonna fight for it with all I got, I want a 100% Service Connected Disability. My problem last time was I didn't really tell how I felt or what we saw/did...and felt like I was to blame because I had become weak. Not anymore, i should have beem compensated from day one for what my service did to me and my life.....and goddam gas is still expensive....so, yea some of my buddies died for a moot cause...and that pisses me off.

 

[yarddog]

If anyone is entitled to a benefit, it would be our war veterans.

Umbra, bummer about the block. I was worried from day one about that. Overheating does so much damage to an engine. Your talking $8,000 I'd guess for a short block and then installing and buttoning it all back up. I'm not in touch with gas stuff much, so that price is just a guess. What are you going to do now? Junkyard block?

 

[Keef]

Umbra having the work done by someone else but easiest would be to snatched the whole engine out and stick a junkyard engine back in !-- Only thing is U know nothing about the new engine might be just fine or not ! Shame the boat launch is no longer an option !--

 

[Kraven]

wow just looked and from this Saturday until Tuesday we are forecast to have temps in the low 40's down to the mid 30's.... Sorta soon to get a cold snap like this.....

 

[Keef]

Umbra --I got a couple dozen BPU-X--B.B. F-2 seed fathered by Trips --Gonna take my little Widow mother later and see if she made me some viable seed !--Then I got a tiny T.E. mom with some seed!-- For any who don't know Trips came out the ground making 3 leaves at a time!-- After topping it went back to making 2 leaves-- I'm looking for a three leaf offspring!
