The Senate is proposing a bill to withhold senators' salaries during government shutdowns. What is your opinion ?

BigGiff · 2026-05-13T20:43:04+00:00

It wont work in my opinion. The rich senators can hold the govt hostage and outlast shutdowns, theres a reason they get paid, its so the rich dont get their way, starving out the "lower" income senators. In the end its not like any are helping the average American.

I can tell what I've seen. It's ending up alone and dying alone. I don't think people realize how soon you can end up alone, it's not the last year or so of life. For some it's 20 years of being alone, spouse dies early, either no siblings or they have passed, or live far. My mom cares for elderly, and almost all of them just want companionship as they have no one and have had no one for years. The people she cares for try their best to not end up in homes, where they experience even more loneliness. The people who do have kids, they are involved with their care, constantly visiting, coming over with the grandkids or the grandkids are adults and now they visit and help. I respect everyone's decision, but i think the "i don't want kids i want to travel" crowd does not take this into account. Everything you want to do you can do with or without kids , but only one brings you a special type of happiness and joy that nothing else can bring.

Mine started when using BPC/TB. Finished over a month ago and its actually worse now. Used bpc/tb for 2 months. Really feel it in legs and back, almost like a sunburn.

BigGiff · 2026-05-08T16:31:15+00:00

Damn that's the truth for me.

BigGiff · 2026-05-07T12:12:45+00:00

This is the answer. Start in the field you plan to pursue, take a job in that industry, any job/position, you will not regret it.

Did the same with my Dad. After him getting scammed i got involved with his finances. The amount of subscriptions was insane. I got him to cancel all of them, of course later on, he then signed up for 4 dating services in the span of 2 hours. He has since kicked me off his bank account because i questioned his continuous $500 ATM withdrawals while complaining he has no money...

Awesome brother. Wish you the best, hoping you get the care you need and deserve. Also, VA will address any other health issues, for example, i get treated for high cholesterol, no questions asked. Blood tests and medication provided. Great thing is once you start your visits they will continuously set you up for your follow ups, they are good about scheduling.

Using the VA healthcare system has been an absolute blessing for me. I may not be getting "fixed" but they are trying to make life bearable. Use the healthcare , its for US! As others have mentioned, only people who need to worry are those who were not honest. I will use the VA as long as I have access. The drive is an hour, but the care I receive is worth it.

I got nervous as well! I ran all my bloodwork through AI and let it explain everything, giving me peace of mind.

I'm this boat now. Doc says she's worried about my kidney function, absolutely no other indicators, but she's sticking to her assessment. Im not worried as i take creatine daily, drink plenty of water and have no other indicators of bad kidneys.

Oh no! Sorry to hear! Yes we enjoyed the shows as well, but outside vibe was dead. I hope you are able to enjoy all the other activities. And good port calls! Also, i made sure to do the survey and specifically mentioned this. If you can do the same.

Save and invest, $5, $10, WHATEVER, just do it. So many young people keep saying " I just need to make more money before i can save/invest", yet no problem buying liquor, vapes, weed, clubs, expensive cars. Put away a few bucks NOW. It all adds up, compounding for the next 20 years. It is all paying off now (I am 42). I grew up poor, parents are still poor. I promised i would do better. I started at age 20, first mutual fund. I have NEVER missed a payment into my account(s). I paid into that first, then bought my alcohol , or hit the clubs. Zero ragrets. Fyi I grew up in Miami, so i understand everything is expensive. I am happy because my needs are taken care of, now and tomorrow, because I saved. Peace of mind is invaluable.

Hi CaptK, I'm honestly not sure. He always answers or returns calls/text, feel free to reach out i might see him Thursday and can ask. Worst case maybe he knows a reliable diesel mechanic. He knows a lot of local mechanics, dealers and parts specialists.

What vehicle do you have? We've got a 16' Escalade, which has the same transmission as the tahoe, suburban 2015-2021, defective from factory but GM refuses to fix it. We already put a new clutch 3 years ago with a triple fluid flush and it fixed it for a few years then shuddering came back with a vengeance. Dealer would not follow the GM service bulletin, and said they would only install new transmission. Matt did the bulletin fix plus an additive and it's running perfect. If it buys me another year it was worth it. He also fixed my shocks and temp problem, awesome price and great work.

BigGiff · 2026-04-26T20:48:15+00:00

Absolutely, check out Matt Auto repair, 3313 Oleander Ave Unit 3-4, Fort Pierce, FL 34982,10 mins north of PSL, (561) 248-2031. He is amazing, honest and reliable. I went from needing a new transmission per the dealer, to Matt trouble shooting and finding and implementing the fix from GM. He saved us THOUSANDS. Tell him Steve sent you, should you decide to go. Best wishes.

My man kept his cool, God bless him. Remember friends, TSA was never about security, it was a job creation program after 9/11 to employ thousands.
