New journey ahead
Originally posted 2014-05-29 16:26:26. A new journey awaits. My husband finished his CDL class and is officially a licensed commercial driver, well at least on paper. He just needs to find the right job/company. We live in NC so hopefully he can find one he likes and can help him adjust to civilian life. He has only been out of the Marine Corps for one year and it hasn’t been the easiest of transitions. The…
Like marks on a bedpost
Originally posted 2024-02-05 15:38:33. By the way, the pic isn’t of my ankle. Look… I thought I would be able to get through the year relatively scot-free where it comes to surgeries… but luck wasn’t in my favor. Well I guess it would depend on if I go through with it or not. So I go to the foot and ankle specialist this morning. My right ankle/foot needed a bit more looking into since the…
She’s so picky
Originally posted 2022-03-11 15:54:50. Saoirse is such a picky eater, much less a picky dog in general. Must be from her being hit by a car in her young development. Or maybe it’s just Saoirse. There are times when she sniffs her food and walks away then the next day she’s eating some of it. Maybe she’s in pain and not hungry. Maybe she doesn’t particularly like the food we purchased. I don’t know but…
Too many cut short
Originally posted 2023-12-18 13:42:38. Man o Man this weekend was absolutely crazy. Originally I was supposed to attend a vendor event on Sunday (doing my Pure Romance stuff) But some almost tropical like weather was coming from the south and it was forecasted to hit on Sunday. So the organizers changed it to Saturday. We knew that everything advertised up to that point showed Sunday but I know had we all even been there no…
Life is precious
Originally posted 2019-06-01 06:17:25. My son… silly that he looks like he works out but he only works fork to mouth. You can see the vagal nerve stimulator in his chest to aid with his intractable seizure disorder – I never thought I’d see him reach 25 years old. He’s had meningitis and with his immune system the way it is they weren’t sure if he’d be able to fight it. My momma was there…
How to Respond to a Suicidal Friend | Military.com
Originally posted 2019-05-28 08:21:23. https://www.military.com/benefits/veterans-health-care/mental-health-and-wellness/how-respond-suicidal-friend.html “How should I respond to a friend who may be suicidal?” Sadly, this is one of the questions we at the REBOOT Alliance are asked most often. Your natural inclination might be to ignore your gut feelings and hope someone with higher “credentials” or training will notice if your friend displays any warning signs. But in our experience, it is often a friend or a family member who is most…
On My Soapbox
Originally posted 2020-07-23 08:42:56. #OnMySoapbox I absolutely refuse to hate someone on their exterior, pigmentation, skin color, etc. I was not raised to hate someone merely because they are darker than I am because let’s face it..those of you that know me know that Amy can’t tan worth anything and I either go from pale to looking like a lobster. All jokes aside, I have seen both sides of the argument. I’ve been hated upon…
Originally posted 2019-05-22 11:56:45. Originally posted March 2016 How do you remember memories you know in your heart but can’t recall in your mind? To see the smiles on the faces of old and feel the warmth from the sun of gold. The people that come into our lives and leave in such ways that all you can do is just pray. Pray that the pain will soon go away. Pray that they didn’t bear…
Circuits Overload
Originally posted 2019-05-22 11:23:54. This was a post from 2016 that never got published lol Have you ever felt as if your circuit board is on overload? Like the wires, connections in your body’s circuit board is on overload and at risk of burning out? Well that is where I am this week. James’s been at home because the employer he was working for did not get awarded the next contract for the job. So,…
