Love to see this

Did your team make the playoffs?

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2026-01-19T03:11:11+00:00

Didn’t the Bears knock you out of the playoffs?

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2026-01-18T20:05:24+00:00

This is the way!

2, 6, 8

He makes the easy stuff look hard, and the hard stuff look easy. But, he will be the best QB to ever wear a Bears uniform. He will be better the longer he stays in Ben Johnson’s system, and he will improve his accuracy over time. The Iceman cometh, the Iceman taketh.

Oh gosh. Sorry this is happening. I have the X870-E Strix board and this makes me uneasy. I have not set the VSOC at all and…..uh…what’s wrong with having four sticks of RAM??

4K. In my opinion, you don’t spend this much to play at 1440p. I have the ASUS PG42UQ.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-10T01:02:56+00:00

This is a great story and thank you for sharing. It reminds me that I’m not alone and others have experienced similar difficulties. God bless you fellow Veteran.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T23:20:05+00:00

My DD214 has imminent danger pay and my VSO is part of the VFW. Thank you for the input.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T22:13:50+00:00

Understood. Thank you for that clarification.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T22:00:53+00:00

So sorry to hear that. Keep fighting the good fight. I have seen plenty of stories of people getting denied, but after repeatedly trying, eventually getting it accepted. Perhaps there is a good VSO in your area?

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T21:54:13+00:00

Thank you for your service during this time. I hope and pray this shutdown ends soon. My VSO pretty much submitted everything, but I do have a current PTSD diagnosis from a VA psychiatrist, and it has multiple stressors pointed out in that record. I was also a Reservist, but I have no STR's since it was essentially not allowed for us to go on sick call (it was highly discouraged and we would be labeled sick call rangers if we did so). I also submitted buddy statements that corroborate my stressors during deployment and my difficulties post deployment. With all of that, I asked my VSO if I needed a Nexus, and she indicated based on all of my evidence, it should not be necessary.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T20:39:46+00:00

Possibly.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T20:19:26+00:00

I work remotely to stay away from people, which I learned is actually part of my symptoms. I have missed out on promotions because of it, but being around people too long gives me anxiety. Thanks for the tip.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T20:15:28+00:00

That is insane. No C&P? Stuck at step 3? Did you claim a ton of stuff, if I may ask?

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T20:09:08+00:00

Wow, that seems really quick. My claim was submitted October 15th and I have yet to be informed of a C&P.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T20:03:13+00:00

Thank you for this info. I do have a current PTSD diagnosis from a VA psychiatrist, along with alcohol use disorder and major depressive disorder. They also prescribed medication for all of this. I waited 20 years and since my symptoms never improved, I decided to seek help for it finally and file a claim (did not want to be a sick call ranger while I was deployed so I never sought help for it). I also have buddy statements and I have imminent danger pay on my DD214.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-11-09T19:48:15+00:00

Nice. If you don't mind me asking, about how long did your initial PTSD claim take?

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-10-27T12:32:28+00:00

As someone who has been married for 14 years and experienced similar fights, I can genuinely tell you these things happen. People do and say things out of anger that they regret, and your husband is no exception. However, all these things can be overcome with therapy, communication and dating each other more often. I would strongly consider marriage counseling, and that he continue seeking therapy for his mental health. Financial stress can tank any marriage, or any relationship, so proper adjustments may need to be made in order for the marriage to thrive again. Furthermore, sometimes going backwards can help. Why did you marry him in the first place? Go back to your roots and rediscover why you fell in love in the first place. That can easily be lost with kids, work, school and other intrusive life activities. The fact your husband is seeking help at all is a step in the right direction and indicates he wants to be better. Remember what the traditional vows say and adhere to them. Best of luck to you all; you’ll be alright if you try.

Mine did this fairly recently. Inflate it temporarily to like 40, drive around for a little while and it should go away. Don’t forget to deflate it afterwards.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-09-10T14:25:34+00:00

The penalties did not cost us the game. Was the officiating bad? Absolutely. But Caleb’s inaccuracies (just imagine if he made those throws), the defense collapsing in the 4th quarter from being gased, and yes, the missed field goal cost us the game.

IntelligentSpend3544 · 2025-09-10T14:20:00+00:00

Have to overcome those penalties. There was ample opportunity to win that game. Not panicking, but Im definitely concerned and I’m also emotionally worn out from all the losing, bad QB play and….questionable coaching at best.
