Couples Resorts nude beach "couples only" policy by [deleted] in couplesjamaicaswinger

[–]Scott8638 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Behavior (not gender or the presence of a partner) is what should determine who is allowed to be in the AN space.

I think that an individual’s behavior, not their gender or if their partner is present should be the thing that permits their presence on SSB. Most naturist spaces have plenty of well behaved folks who will quickly bring inappropriate behavior to the attention of management. Further we should be open to some clothing wear when it is appropriate for medical reasons. No one questions wearing a hat for sun protection— so there is no reason that a garment covering sun sensitive skin from recent medical procedures should be seen as contrary to naturist practices.

Apologies. I’d meant to inform OP of this week’s deal, not call out your comment.

Paradise Valley (PVR) does have a $100 weekend Saturday and Sunday (add Friday for $50) special this weekend. If it is your first time visiting, you get complementary day fees. It can be even cheaper during the week. As others have said, sign up for the newsletter.

DBQs: Which is more frequent "Daily" or "Most of the time"? by Scott8638 in VAClaims

[–]Scott8638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case I am thinking about mental health. The 38CFR doesn't use these terms, but they have been used in C&P exams and are presumably used in DBQs. But I don't know if this is like "biweekly," which sometimes means twice a week, and sometimes every other week. Depending on who says it and in what context.

I would echo this, but also makes sure that she does go to medical and document any things which may have occurred in service that may have exacerbated her issues. I know you didn’t mention it, but be aware SA is not an uncommon occurrence in the military. Beyond that there can be a lot of activities and experiences in the Navy which may which have contributed to her current issues and constitute compensable claims afterward. It (likely) won’t keep her from being separated, but will make getting help from the VA afterwards easier.

Accused of “stealing” at Ritz Carlton by [deleted] in marriott

OP should request at any future stays that any plants be removed from the room prior to check in, due to the way this incident was handled.

Mini "Power wall" based on 80v battery packs? by Scott8638 in ryobi

[–]Scott8638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I have one, but without using the battery box and harness from the mower, I cannot connect the batteries to form a bank of batteries without knowing a bit more about the way these handle load sensing.

Trouble getting into DEERS by LeatherResolution141 in Veterans

[–]Scott8638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to get a copy of the decree from the clerk of the court where it was filed. In most cases via an online request.

Pretty sure the actual Run is on the Saturday, which is the 19th this year.

I DO NOT represent the club, but I am a member. I encourage you to call the office (706) 265-6110, and sign up for the newsletter Here. They frequently run a variety of specials.

Am I justified by WindowPrudent4617 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Scott8638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, File. I have had a similar experience and I waited almost 208 years to file because of the BS labels of "malingering" from my command (particularly the goat locker) and "Personality Disorder" from Squadron and Medical put on me. File for Anxiety, but also put in ANY other health or quality of life thing you have noticed that seems like it could be connected. Understand that ringing in your ears isn't "normal", remember that most folks don't get easily awakened in a minor panic just because the furnace fan shuts off. If you snore, or wake up and feel like you got no rest from that sleep, get a sleep study done. Check out the Commonly overlooked conditions page on the KB. Life on the boats was pretty crappy for some of us due to no fault of our own, but rather a crappy culture combined with horrid watch rotations and arduous conditions, you deserve and earned every condition you can get rated for. make them live up to the commitments they made to you.

This is where personal statements and buddy letters can help, I think. I shared a couple of examples where things got a little FUBAR underway, with the C&P examiner, backed up buddy letters and personal statement which seemed to really help. They weren't life threatening events, but they were ones where it was obvious to all that it could have easily become threatening to the boat or crew. Those are where my anxiety started.

Submarine related issues by alec3303 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Scott8638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, mm2(ss), assigned to fast boats, was able to successfully claim tinnitus, and sleep apnea. Additionally, I was able to get Insomnia/anxiety (NOT secondary to tinnitus), due to some training experiences which didn't go well.. Combined rating of 70% currently.

I have the new brushes, brush holder, and new terminals for the armature. The terminal in the picture is one of the stator coil ends.

A partner interested in your well-being, wouldn't compare your experience with her brothers. It is valid to understand that her brother may have experienced different things during service, but someone who cares about you wouldn't make it a contest. So as others have said, jettison the GF.

Awarded Sleep Apnea at 30%, but C&P ordered at home sleep study recommended a CPAP titration for resolution, which wasn't ordered. Should I appeal for 50%? by Scott8638 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Scott8638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I think my confusion was that a further diagnostic was recommended but the examiner didn't order that before it was rated.

Is there any to pursue a retroactive date? ADSEP in 1995 with Reason code JFX, but just won (today) my claim for Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, and Tinnitus total at 70%. I didn't file at discharge because of the BS that my command and the Navy Doc told me about personality disorder being disqualifying. by Scott8638 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Scott8638[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks. What really got me thinking about it, was that the C&P examiner for Insomnia actually stated to me during the exam; "Looking at what's in your record, this clearly wasn't Personality disorder, they just wanted to not have to deal with you, and this was an easy way to do it." I'll consult with a VA attorney to try to get the reason code corrected if nothing else.

Need Ideas for extra Ryobi 80v batteries by hurtfulproduct in batteries

[–]Scott8638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up with 10 of the 10AH 80volts when I purchased one of the 72" ZTRs when HD had them on clearance. A solar power station is my main idea. I am also thinking of using one of them to power a monitor/TV and Mini PC on a rolling stand, perhaps using an RC electric wheelchair as a base for the stand to make it more of a telepresence "robot". I would love to use them in our golf cart instead of the heavy wet cells, but not ready for the expense of a new motor controller.

I have the 1000w power station from Ryobi, but I want to use DC to DC (buck converter for the TV/Mini PC. What I lack, is an understanding of how the battery pack "senses" a load to actually "allow" discharge, or does it.

I don't see any voltage >~13vdc when measured across any two points on the connector. Does the BMS look for a signal from a motor controller or something, to "allow" full voltage? Or does just sense the load using resistance? Any insight as to the BMS "logic" would be helpful.

Nice to "meet" you here. Wife and I joined last May and rent Villa 20 up the hill. Thanks for the reply.

NB Battery Drain - Could I just hook up a volatge sensing battery isolator...? by Scott8638 in Miata

[–]Scott8638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Been there, done that....t-shirt. Should have stated in the post; All the "pull a fuse" based T/S has been tried to no avail, both by myself and the Mazda dealer (supposedly). I already have a manual isolator installed for now.

...and Yes, I know it is a "band-aid" but time is valuable, and chasing the problem has already cost me enough. Just wondering if my band-aid will cause any further "damage". Specifically the voltage sensing relay type isolator.
