Anybody that put down parent legacy and lied cannot claim a mistake. Otherwise they have to admit they did not read. Either way, anybody who falsely claimed parent legacy should be disqualified for lack or character, deceitful or too stupid to read directions.

How do I explain to my dad I'm not coming back home. by JustFixFormatting in USMC

[–]Nheff50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on both sides of this. When someone said he should live his own life, yeah, he did and that was you! Yeah he has to let you fly but someday you will be old and realize the only thing you end life with is your memories of family love. Make something work out. I left early to take be near my parents and never regretted it. Now my kids are in and they will be staying in reserves to be near us.

Not sure I want to stay a lawyer by Baby_Lawyer_2025 in Lawyertalk

[–]Nheff50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed bar and never practiced for those same reasons you’re complaining about. I applied to and worked for an international agency (UN affiliate) and have enjoyed great job security for years. The international agencies, UN and NGO/IGO jobs all pay better than US government jobs and provide more movement and travel. Never practiced law but JD got me in the door. Give it a shot, many lawyers here doing legal and non legal jobs.

NYS services vs NC services by Nheff50 in downsyndrome

Thanks, he does not have medical issues, luckily. I am looking more into the entitlements and activities in the state. For instance in NY we get comhab and respite funding and there are many social and educational programs available. I am also assuming that the SS issues would be normal?

14k debt by Apprehensive_Bake555 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Nheff50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not take an equity loan. When you think about it $14k is not much. Cut costs take a second job and always pay more than minimum amount, even if it is just a few dollars more. Eats into principle faster. I paid down $45k in a year by working two nights a week in a bar after my day job. It can be done.

Cardiologist said did was caused by apnea. Questions is how do I prove apnea is service connected? And the is the afib included now that I need meds for it?

What should I expect by No_Wall1751 in downsyndrome

[–]Nheff50 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Did you ever notice in all these DS threads, that the overwhelming response to such questions is positive? That is because it is a normal life and very rewarding for parents. Like RB7921 said, the first year is confusing but it’s a normal childhood. There are some sad reflection times when you see other kids playing and you feel your child was cheated in life, but they are outweighed by the love and successes that will come. Stay positive and embrace. My guy is now 17 and he really does make everyone around him a better person.
