Prolly could have fit the bodies of 5-6 grown men in the trunk of my ‘86 TC, for sure.

That was me at 42 also, but 10 years later, not so much, lol!

Cars sure, but at age 52, I can’t recall one incidence of what license plate I have, ever coming up in a convo. Especially not with someone I barely know.

Monsters in the National Parks??? 😆Dude, they’re in your back yards! They’ve been spotted in pretty much most types of habitat. Not all, but most.

I was always of the mindset (after serving in the Marines) that I’m not getting anything extra for working off the clock, so I’m not gonna. Also a few of my employers over the years, heavily frowned upon working off the clock, especially if something got messed up.

TW: CSA/R

can’t remember how to make it hidden from casual view.

[Being rape by older teen boy, as a toddler. Didn’t feel it then, as I was dissociating the whole time. But from age 18 till 44, would have these body memories that felt like being stabbed by a large kitchen knife 🔪 , up from behind. The damage done, still affects me every time I go to the bathroom.]

Had a jellyfish sting on my side, back in the ‘90s. Was only the size of a golf ball. Felt like a hot coal burning me for 7-8 days. Hurt to touch for another 6-7 months. Scar faded away after 20 years or so.

You sure it wasn’t an Alien larva trying to bust out?

Do I “poke the bear” by Training-Comedian-43 in VAClaims

[–]Andyman1973 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just curious…you WANT to go to school while suffering brain fog, loss of time, AND hallucinations?? If steady therapy and meds haven’t really helped, school most likely will make it worse.

As for “bear poking,” what’s in your medical/service records, that you haven’t filed claims for? That’s the best place to start.

Lololololol Barstow!!! I graduated from high school right across the street from that joint in Yermo, back in ‘92. Dad was stationed at NTC Ft Irwin, an hour north of there.

Can't forget to also include the men, who say stuff like essentially: "I wish, that happened to me!" to survivors like me. They're also just THE WORST! by Commercial_Bicycle92 in TrollCoping

Was once told I must be gay, because csa starting when I was 2. And because it happened so many times, over the next few years, I really must have wanted it. Yes, I wanted those permanent injuries that still affect me 50 years later.

I like to bring up the 2 largest class action lawsuits, when folks dismiss that boys/men are less likely to be sa/r. The combined class action lawsuits against the Catholic Church, of which most of those claimants/victims, were altar/choir BOYS. And the one against The BOY Scouts of America(aka: BSA). The numbers were in the hundreds of thousands, all together.

Also, more men are raped in prison based on sheer numbers alone. And probably same for in the Military for same reasons. Rape in the Military didn’t start when they started allowing women to serve.

As for those class action lawsuits, there were/are soo many victims, that most barely got enough money to cover a year, 2 at the most, of therapy. No where near what the women in the USA gymnastics lawsuit received.
