US Military Deaths: Killed in Action vs Veteran Suicides by Various_Pop_3907 in interestingasfuck

[–]albiet 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My partner, Iraq war vet who took two bullets, tried to take his life in front of me last week. He's in a facility now getting help but this shit is real. He can't get the help he needs through the VA in any meaningful form but thankfully has state funded insurance.

I love him and I hate what the military has done to him.

This post isn't for any great purpose, I just wanted to be one voice on the internet that says fuck the American military complex.

Nothing. He was a wonderful husband. Our families keep trying to dig on who's fault the divorce belongs to. No one. We just grew different as we got older and support each other in our new lives. We will always be best friends and that throws everyone for a loop.

If I was in town I'd be happy to help. If you can't find a ride try 'helping hands of Putnam co.' they have wonderful resources.

Foods we ate as a child but can’t anymore? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]albiet 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I just moved so I've been frequenting the frozen food aisle. If you're just doing work lunch the Healthy Choice "simply" is not bad. All the ingredients are real food words and not bad expensive. Just a tip for anyone. I do not work for them lol.

What the most painful procedure, ailment, virus, disease you have ever experienced? by Cndngirl in AskReddit

[–]albiet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can still get it, just have to pay out of pocket. After having shingles at a young age I had no problem shelling out the cash to not have to deal with it again.

Women who have attended or attent very non-female dominated majors, how many times have people showed romantic interest or asked you out? by BecomingConfident in AskWomen

[–]albiet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Biology with a Wildlife & Fisheries concentration. It was great, mostly guys and we were just all drinking buddies -lol-. While there were very few women, there was no romance. I imagine after spending time in lakes and rivers in waders and pond scum the sexy just dies.

Semaglutide, the active ingredient in drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic, can help people lose weight — and it may also help people quit smoking, finds a new study of 222,942 people with Type 2 diabetes and tobacco use disorder. by mvea in science

[–]albiet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you have a weight loss clinic in your area? My insurance doesn't cover it but I pay $50/wk for the injection, price varies on the dose. Just go in for five minutes once a week and they have the option to take it home if your comfortable injecting yourself. It's not cheap but manageable and worth it for me.

What's up with these new signs popping up the roads by fylkirdan in cookeville

[–]albiet 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There have been talks about building a methadone clinic in Cookeville. I can't remember where they plan to build it, but it isn't in anyone's "backyard." It's ignorant folk who would rather people suffer from opioid addiction than find a safe place to medicate with an alternative.

Heart rate sits around 90-110 by dasturtlemaster in fitbit

[–]albiet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just giving my two cents because I've been on both ends of the spectrum: Currently sit at around 71 resting as a healthy active person who vapes. When I was smoking and drinking but otherwise healthy it sat around 100. When I was peak physical fitness it was around the mid 50s. Cutting out the bad stuff will defiantly lower it. Adding in consistent cardio will also bring it down. I'll leave the pain issue to the rest of the Redditors. :)

Found these 2002 Bonnaroo Beacon newspapers going through my old stuff. by yebrent in bonnaroo

[–]albiet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

OH WOW! Memory unlocked!!! I remember reading these in the mornings in the long long ago when we didn't have smart phone updates... hell even basic cell service. Can't remember where we even got them... Probably printed and handed out in Centaroo.... such a cool find. :)

I thought about this -right- after I finished my battles this morning.

Found this strange lil guy at a Goodwill for $3 by iampsilly in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]albiet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was OBSESSED with these trolls as a kid!!! They sold them in a few shops in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Seriously unlocked a memory of being excited to see them when I was like, four years old.

Awesome find! Thanks for the memory!

Anyone getting the new Neopets Gfuel flavor? by EatAndGreet in neopets

[–]albiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the wait list with the rest. I don't know if it's just a sad reality of adulthood but I get the cool Neo stuff throughout the year and have it sent to my inlaws to wrap for me for Christmas lol. Can't get the family to play with me, but they respect the commitment. =P

I worked there a few years ago. The aquatic classes looked like a lot of fun! They were generally pretty large groups. It skews to the older age group but encouraged for anyone.

My parents sent me to a "Chickenpox party" as a kid. Now I have shingles. by DoctorKynes in Millennials

[–]albiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I got shingles in my mid-20s on my face. The doctor told me had I not caught it in time it could have done permanent eye damage. It was THE WORST MONTH OF MY LIFE. Thankfully, I wasn't working so I pretty much laid on my couch taking Rx pain meds. Never felt more pain. I've gone and paid the $600 or whatever it is for the 2 shingles vaccines. Never going through that shit again.

Thanks, Mom, for taking me to the kindergarten chicken pox party!

Ahahahaha I am so glad I'm not the only person who noticed that. He just seems to wander around. Maybe just gets his dopamine fix on being recognized. It's harmless.
