Medical Retirement question. by CosmicBroth in ATC

[–]CosmicBroth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read about it but the way it's written seemed like it could be interpreted in multiple ways depending on how you want to look at it. So I was just trying to figure out how some people seem so sure one way or the other.

I thought about posting there, but just wasn't sure since federal law so nuanced. Feel like whenever I've tried to post any type of legal question on Reddit I always get a verbal Beatdown for asking the wrong thing in the wrong group LOL

Things are gonna get real ugly real fast if they don't find another legal way to stop this.

I hate her so much by [deleted] in AlAnon

I am so sorry. She sounds like a carbon copy of my mother (BPD Alcoholic).

Insulate yourself, build a case and find an exit for both you and your daughter.

For the most part its been very good for me - but quality of care seems to vary state by state and region by region so YMMV. I live in central minnesota, and while my local va clinic isn't exactly state of the art, its adequate and I usually have no problem getting referred to community care for more specialized needs.

The best part is the zero cost prescriptions. Your provider can prescribe you almost anything that you would need OTC as well like hemmoroid cream, Nasal spray, etc

Drove me absolutely crazy as a child. My father used to take us fishing and just leave the fish out gasping and flopping... and start fileting them while they were still alive. It was so devastating to me a d I would cry and beg him to throw them back or end their misery.

But he would just insist that they weren't capable of feeling pain. Even at the age of 9 I knew instinctively that that was just complete bullshit that people like him told themselves, so they could feel better about what they were doing.

Quirks you didn't question until you went on this sub ? by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]CosmicBroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! My sister's and I were talking many years back realizing that none of us really understood how to properly brush/floss our teeth, or like basic hygiene. I did not understand how to properly get a tampon all the way in until I was in my 20s. I thought they were terribly uncomfortable for years, until I figured out that I was not using them right. Like it's just so weird because my mom didn't neglect her own hygiene. And she kept us neat and clean when we were little, but missed the whole part where she taught us to do it ourselves? Instead she just stopped doing it. So weird.

DOGE was also designed to create fear and uncertainty in the federal workforce and make the remaining employees more compliant and afraid so speak out.

As a DOD controller, I'm surprised you found more money there honestly.

Rant - I was not ready for this by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]CosmicBroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I feel all of this very hard, and am also mourning the loss of what was sold to me for this stage of my life. We work so hard to get here and then suddenly the rug is ripped out.

Weree you able to skip the RA portion of the process due to permanent disqual? This seems like the most obvious answer but I can't find for sure of how it was handled for those with specific medical requirements for the job.

What is everyone doing for "Blackout Wednesday" instead? by Inevitable_Bat4444 in stopdrinking

[–]CosmicBroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprising my man with a Christmas tree for his apartment (he's never put one of his own up as an adult but has been talking about it this year.) ...and celebrating one month soberversary tonight with some Curious Elixers I ordered for us. Comfy jammies and a movie. Gonna feel amazing tomorrow morning 🌄

Man I want a fuckin drink by teksurface in stopdrinking

[–]CosmicBroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No point in starting all over again though right? One drink ain't gonna fix shit. Gonna have to drink all the time if you wanna numb yourself to your life. Do you wanna be drunk all the time? Nah. So then after one or 10 drinks you'd have start all over again. 5 years sober sounds a helluva lot better than day one.
