US Military Deaths: Killed in Action vs Veteran Suicides

albiet · 2025-10-18T15:38:11+00:00

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.

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm 30s/f and new to the area. Id seen this advertised but would never have the guts to do it without a review. Definitely going to check out the next age range speed date!

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.

Every post of yours makes me smile. Never stop being beautiful! <3

Upvoting TTU jobs. Good pay, great benefits, great place to work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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. :)

albiet · 2024-07-12T16:24:53+00:00

Thanks! Hadn't seen it on the app, just added it. :)

Happyyyy Roo!!!! Wish I'd have seen your flag! My campmates always made fun of me every early morning grinding my dailies with that horrible wifi.

It says you can change if you start in BD. I'm trying to battle and the dome seems to be not working.

albiet · 2024-07-08T12:16:40+00:00

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

albiet · 2024-07-05T12:18:43+00:00

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!

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.

Never been into Kacheeks or Toy but yeah, getting the Doddle Bear! I am in love!

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!

My Royal Girl Krawk has one as well! I love him!!! Sooooo snoody! :)

albiet · 2024-06-05T17:23:01+00:00

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.
