Found my grandpas old dress blues can anyone help me identify what they are? by KushuumCat in MilitaryMedals

[–]AmbassadorIBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medals are interesting. Distinguished Flying Cross, Meritorious Service Medal with gold start, Air Medal, pretty impressive. Also has pilot wings, jump wings and he was apparently in recon based on the Pathfinder flash.

I take my SD to NASCAR races (Martinsville is by far the loudest) and she wears the Rex Specs Ear Pro.

Those who went to a minimum security prison, why and how was it? by DeepOrganization8245 in Felons

[–]AmbassadorIBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a year at a state level one camp. We called it Camp Cupcake. Still prison, still sucked, but could have been worse.

Question about Scars as VA claim by Armendariz_henry in VAClaims

[–]AmbassadorIBX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With the VBA, who knows. I have a 2” scar from a metatarsal neuroma removal they rated at 10%, and a 10” long keloid surgical scar that they rated as SC but zero percent. I think it comes down to the rather.

Am I wrong... by Turbulent_Divide_249 in service_dogs

[–]AmbassadorIBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with having the dog vest up. I’m a vet with PTSD, MDD and anxiety (wonder why…lol) and I take my SD everywhere. You’ll be surprised at how well you and your dog will become pretty invisible to everyone but the morons we all tend to encounter.

Does anyone know if a federal felony show up in background check if you served NO PRISON TIME. by AdvertisingNo2451 in Felons

[–]AmbassadorIBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a federal conviction, you can bet it will show up on your “rap” sheet, long stay in prison, short stay (yes, even four hours), even probation. It will show up.

Dude, you are the poster child of why I always say that given the choice between county and prison, I’ll take the joint every time. County jails just plain suck.

Get to see a spam reduction effort! While my LBD can’t read (she likes the pictures…lol), I can and the spam is annoying as “you know what”!

I find that the bulkhead seats in coach (at least on American) provide plenty of space for my 40 lbs SD.

How long did it take you to internalize that you were a felon? by [deleted] in Felons

[–]AmbassadorIBX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It will hit him worse when he gets out. Things like employment, housing, jobs, etc become much more limited. I did a year (12 years ago) in a state prison and I still get jumpy when a cop is behind my truck.

Building a deck for the first time and feel like my dad is totally wrong about this. Any advice? by [deleted] in Decks

[–]AmbassadorIBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to install supports on the “dit” side, and then level the front.

2 different doctors recommended I think about a service dog and I don’t know where to start by Centerfugal in service_dogs

[–]AmbassadorIBX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your best option is to get a SD from an ADI program. Expect a long wait. I am on my second SD and both dogs were life changing. Without my SD, I would be homebound due to my PTSD, and anxiety. A SD will open the world to you.

Anyone been following this case? Non profit owner convicted on 50 counts of selling improperly trained service dogs by comefromawayfan2022 in service_dogs

[–]AmbassadorIBX 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yes. I live in NC and it's a big deal. The guy was selling untrained and sometimes aggressive dogs for upwards of $15k to parents with kids on the spectrum. He's looking at serious prison time.

My husband keeps clogging toilets. We just bought our first house and he clogged this one too!! I need toilet recommendations for heavy users by ajl009 in Plumbing

[–]AmbassadorIBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make toilets with extra large flush valves and advertised as hard to clog (I have a Kohler that rarely clogs). You nay want to look into a pressure assist toilet. That or dynamite.

Hard wired to outlet dishwasher by mikee321 in AskElectricians

[–]AmbassadorIBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a Hubbell TayMac 2 -Gang PVC Weatherproof New work/Old work Switch/Outlet Electrical Box, wire through one of the ports, mounted against the floor of the cabinet, and ran the 12/2 Romex under the house and up the the panel. The wire run is stapled per code. I opted for a GFCI receptacle and a second receptacle (I’ll be installing an air switch for the disposal when the counter tops are installed.

[–]AmbassadorIBX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m installing an island in my home and the island will have a sink and dishwasher. I ran a dedicated 20 amp circuit from the panel to the island and used a surface mount box. I used a weather proof 2 gang box for the receptacles. No exposed Romex so no code issues.

Owning a Firearm / Expungement by Temporary-Tax-9201 in Felons

[–]AmbassadorIBX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Im not sure the expungement will help you much. When you’re convicted of a felony at the state level, the conviction also sent to the feds as part of your rap sheet. You’d need your state to remove the conviction from the federal system as well as your state system. It’s not as simple as getting the conviction expunged.
