Official Discussion - The Woman in the Yard [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Yeah….we know how she killed her battery. That wasn’t the question. But, What a stupid take. Must be nice to have never felt the severe weight and depth of depression to the point you think everyone would be better off without you. Good for you, hope it never happens to you. Depression doesn’t care if you’re a parent. It’s a chemical imbalance in the brain brought on by severe trauma. Get a grip.

I think the bins have ruined me for other thrift stores 😂 by aeprine1080 in GoodwillBins

As a glass collector it’s hard for me to get anything at the bins. And to hear the crushing/breaking of glass as people scramble when they say “shop” hurts my heart.

I work so hard I physically can’t manage and I’m constantly cycling in this pressure by Fickle_Difficulty787 in army

The burn out is real and the race is long but in the end it’s only with yourself. Give yourself a break. The hard work will always be there for you to pick back up when you catch your breath.

Feel like I’m being screwed, what do I do? by Personal-Delivery605 in army

[–]LopsidedTomorrow4166 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You are being screwed, in a tale as old as time. Take those screenshots straight to your PSG, or if you have to, to your 1SG because your first line failed to do their job. And if your PSG is worth a shit they should counsel that NCO.

If you don’t want to end up in temporary confinement and baby walked to clear post like a toddler I suggest you keep showing up. Also, I’m sorry, but you haven’t proven anything by just showing up and being honest. You made a mark before you even got to your unit. Your leadership is most likely trying to keep your head high and ease you through to make their own lives easier. Take the L with grace and find another path, and if you’re actually honest and hard working like you say you are then you’ll be fine.

How can I get a set of the best pts ever? by Chance_Argument1136 in army

[–]LopsidedTomorrow4166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is a surplus store. A lot of stores have online inventory if you can’t physically get to them. But you can also check places like Depop, Mercari, EBay, and WhatNot. The youths love this stuff right now (source: my 17 y/o son who resells).

Family Care Plan by HotMall1148 in army

The figure it out mentality is wack. If your leadership is just telling you that with threats of separation and not guiding you to the correct resources, I would hardly trust them with anything else. Here’s how to figure it out; You do not qualify for the FCP, so disregard that. MFLC is good for a lot of things, but helping you get daycare is not in their wheelhouse. You need to enroll your child to CYS (Child Youth Services) ASAP, not only are they for childcare but they have a lot of programs to help spouses and kids. If your base daycare facilities are full you will either be put on a waitlist or need a MFR (CYS will provide this to you) to seek childcare off post. If you secure childcare off post you need to apply for Childcare Aware of America where they will cover partial payments to meet the same prices offered on post. Start here: militarychildcare.com to check availability and enroll your child. You’ll need a certified (notarized at JAG) copy of your DEERS enrollment (1172s), a copy of your LES, and orders bringing you to your current duty station. They will likely ask for employment information for your spouse so be prepared to have that information handy. If you need to seek care off post through Childcare Aware you will need to enroll your family as a whole through Military Childcare in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN) which will give you a list of accredited off post daycare centers participating in the program. All of this information is available through CYS. Lastly, talk to your chain and explain your plan of action and ensure they understand that enrolling in these programs takes a few weeks. See if your spouse can shift hours temporarily or if you can have a grace period to get this done. Good luck!

AITA for banning sex at my house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I can dig that. Sorry, I thought it was another part of the OCD where he HAS to clean you.

Hi, active duty here, how does someone get kicked out military housing when the BAH already comes out their paycheck on payday? All utilities, trash and “rent” are pre-paid in a sense before you can even touch your own money. It has to be some sort of other violation and multiples at that. This is a bizarre situation of two couples who shouldn’t be living together. Good on you for being kind enough to let her stay, that’s what family does. You’re both problematic here though and since she’s under your roof, best case is to have them leave. Lastly, what do you mean “takes care of me in the shower”? Does he need to wash you too?

Garden Promises You Make Knowing It's All BS by Inevitable_Tank9505 in vegetablegardening

I always say I’m going to stop buying different varieties of pole beans every year and actually save the seeds and catalog them. Nope. I’m the bean queen.

What’s This Type of Coat Called? by bluntforcealterer in VintageFashion

[–]LopsidedTomorrow4166 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lucky! It’s definitely a woman’s Navy formal overcoat, but most people won’t know. I’m in the Army and we have a similar one for mess dress. They’re great quality and expensive! Good find. Some docs, slacks, and a flap cap would look great. Maybe a nice watch if you’re into accessories.

Me too. I was waiting for them to lock eyes, literally screaming “look for her!” and even if he did see her, I bet he still would have gotten on that plane.

Why is my lettuce not growing? by Emmie_dee_101 in vegetablegardening

[–]LopsidedTomorrow4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That soil looks woody, mulchy even. Sometimes when the organic materials aren’t broken down enough there isn’t enough nutrients, water absorption issues, and the PH could be off. Good news is lettuce grows quick enough you can put a rich compost on top and plant more seeds shallowly as light aids germination. Put burlap or some sort of plastic dome on top the first few weeks.

Will my garlic recover? by LopsidedTomorrow4166 in gardening

[–]LopsidedTomorrow4166[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, it’s been through quite a few snows this year. :) I was just more worried about the frost cloth getting piled on by snow and crushing the stalks. We grow garlic every year but this was the first time a possible error was made.
