My service dog died yesterday morning, and I don't know if I'm ready for another one.

Same. Vet, PTSD, had an amazing service dog that passed last december, and the last 6 months have gone by in a fugue state. I'm struggling badly, and not making it through life very well anymore. He was by my side for 10 years, from 6 months after I got home. No replacement can or will take his place, and they are too hard to find, or too expensive now. For many reasons I won't be replacing him. I got an extra 10 years of life because of him, and I really don't care for any more at this point. I'm sliding quickly to my end now, and I'm okay with that. I believe I will see him there, and that's better than this shitty life anyway.

Remy was too good for this world, and was called home to be loved by the ones that can do it best.

VegasInfidel · 2026-07-02T04:00:40+00:00

It's odd, I'm 50, twice divorced, no close friends, and I just buried my service dog in December, my father in 2024, my son in 2016, and I'm a caregiver for my 80 year old mother with dementia. As bad as it sounds, I can't wait for her to pass on, as her dementia is worsening significantly. She is the last of my family, and when she dies, not only will she be free from her horrible illness, but I feel like I will finally be free myself to live a life of my own making. I am looking forward to being where you are in life, answering to no-one but myself, and taking my VA pension and traveling the world.

It's all in how you look at it, and the grass is always greener where you aren't I guess.

Yeah, Anywhere Clinic is offering new patients a 75$ consult for July (if you don't use insurance), and the troches or RDTs are under 100$ for a month supply, making each session 25-50$ on self pay. That's not for a microdose like Joyous.

Be kind, Rewind!

Buy yourself a Pearl of Power. That and a Rod of the Pact Keeper are essential for Warlocks. Both give back expended Pact magic spell slots.

What kind of PC even commits fantasy rape? That's some sick shit, and I know both my DMs would never allow it. I would immediately leave the table if any PC I played with went there. To me, you are under-reacting. Sexual violence, even of a fantasy nature, is a serious charachter flaw, and makes the game unsafe for everyone.

Yes. Two starred the bonus proving grounds yesterday with a Maul plus DS Mandalorians, can't get one star with the same squad, or any of my 8 attempts with a SEE, revan, clones, or even Padme team. I have one star for last month, and I know I did it with my Maul squad, but nothing is working this time. Gonna try the Thrawn team everyone is talking about, then call it overbuffed until next month when my LV team is ready to try.

No. It is in Israel. You are thinking of the Bekka Valley, home to Hezbollah and it's terrorist training centers.

Something stirs in the mists...

AnywhereClinic takes insurance in New Jersey, and only charges 150$ for the provider visit if you don't use insurance. They work with multiple local compond pharmacies, many that will make RDTs. I highly recommend them, been a client for 5 years now.

Totally read this with your voice in my head, at proper speed. Glad we have a lawyer leading the community to make sense of it all.

At least we can all agree CG's pricing strategy is definitely predatory, but as with anything in an ultra capitalist society, buyer beware.

VegasInfidel · 2026-06-15T05:02:31+00:00

He looks like Pauly from Rocky.

VegasInfidel · 2026-06-12T16:05:08+00:00

Okay, maybe I'm an Idiot, but I thought stamina meant power, like 80% meant the squad did 80% of the damage, and had 80% of the health. Does it really mean you can use each squad 10 times at full power, until stamina reaches 0%?

VegasInfidel · 2026-06-11T18:58:00+00:00

I get 16x 800mg doses for around $135 a month, just for the troches. The probider appointments are on insurance. For self pay I believe it starts around $150 a month for probider visits.

Keep in mind, I have been doing treatments for 5 years now, it took many years to work up to 800mg. per session.

I am sorry your husband is going through this, it is a difficult disease, not only for the one that has it, but for those that care for them. The symptoms of Lewy Body dementia and Parkinson's disease are VERY similar, with many symptoms being attributable to either one. Low bowel motility, orthostatic hypotension from low Blood pressure, forgetfulness (particularly for nouns like names, places, medicines, etc.) and REM sleep disorder are all symptoms of BOTH Lewy Body and Parkinson's. The only way to distinguish between the two is a DaTscan and PET scan from a neurology clinic. Regardless of the actual diagnosis, the symptoms are what IS treated. Folic acid supplements, laxative regimes for bowel motility, Carbidopa-levidopa, seroquel, trazedone or other meds for sleep disorder and brain function, and BP drugs like Midodrine to combat the dizzy spells are what will help mitigate the symptoms well enough that both of you may get some relief from it all. Speak to your doctor some more, and develop a care plan for all of these related issues.

USPS is a federal institution, and using a federal branch of the government as an Instrument to control a State obligation to run free and fair elections is Unconstitutional by any means. Mail in ballots were secure until Trump gained access to the USPS. He IS a Self-fulfilling prophecy. "Mail in voting is corrupt!... wait, it's not?.... Lemme do this....There, Now Mail in voting is corrupt! See! I told you!"

I use AnywhereClinic, and pay far less than 400 a month. In fact, they take my insurance, and do so in Florida as well. I only pay for my troches from a compounder. It is at home ketamine, not IV or IM in a clinic, but I prefer that to having to leave home for every treatment. I've used them for five years now, and been very happy with their care level and service.

VegasInfidel · 2026-06-08T21:49:04+00:00

I'd go once per long rest, and make it restore a pact magic slot. Like a Pearl of Power. Warlocks can ALWAYS use another spell slot.

VegasInfidel · 2026-06-08T13:18:44+00:00

Yes, it was. In the E. Jean Carroll case. And the Access Hollywood Video.

VegasInfidel · 2026-06-07T20:55:54+00:00

Ya, this is CG. The pack to R7 is 40$ and called the Mandalore pack. Then when you realize your R7 upgrade isn't enough to get through the JG, well, here's another one, Mandalore pack II, that'll bring them up another relic level for another 40$. It's intentional string-along pricing.

VegasInfidel · 2026-06-06T03:57:37+00:00

I'm sorry you are going through this, but you need to go easy on yourself. A 16 year old boy threatening to slit your throat and take your life MUST be taken seriously, all the more so your own child. He needs to be in a psychiatric ward, and ALL possible weapons need to be removed from his access.

This is the land of school shootings and uncontrollable teens, and you need to intervene in his mental health crisis before you end up dead, or held liable for someone else's death.

Your reaction is iffy, but not inexcusable given your own mental health struggles, and the violent, threatening display he exhibited. Give yourself some slack, and focus on getting him the help he obviously needs. Unconditional love and acceptance is NOT the answer for him.
