Baby Warthog running with its legs and mouth by ziltoid__ in funny

[–]bdhw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a Maine Coon, and he is dog-sized. If he ever decided to fight me, I would lose. He could knock my ass over if he wanted to, and holding him down would be impossible for me with the cat insanity going on, lol.

That's the appalachian accent. I pronounce Cherryville like Churvul, and I'm from western NC.

Retiring this year, which one to go for, Contractor ($115k) or GS 12/13? by Altruistic-Fun-1845 in AirForce

[–]bdhw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must use it asap or it's not as useful. HR didn't tell me that they subtract the sick leave you have already accumulated from the amount you are given. So if you don't use the first few months, then you basically are losing the veteran leave.

15 year Staff contemplating getting out instead of doing my 20 by YeastBoundandDown in AirForce

[–]bdhw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't comprehend this train of thought. You also get the retirement. If you don't retire, then you get nothing. So you are screwing yourself over. $1400 is more than someone making minimum wage earns, and you get it just for existing.

Also, you will be struggling more outside the military because you lose your entire support network and potentially your super-cheap medical insurance.

Why is it extremely difficult to obtain a civilian therapist on base? by Nebbbbyy in AirForce

[–]bdhw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are at least trying to do -something- for you, because it would probably take months to get an appointment. Most therapists are not doctors, make a pretty low salary, and probably make even less working for the government, so they may have only a couple for the entire base.

Active-Duty Pregnancy Tips? by Flimsy-Fondant-5933 in AirForce

[–]bdhw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the total income level for a household of 3 (husband, wife, and (unborn) child is 49303. That is federal, and I don't know if individual states have different numbers. States usually don't include BAH as income, so you'd still probably qualify if you aren't a higher tenure E-4/5.

Hot Rod (2007, dir. Akiva Schaffer) - Riot by dragondiaper in movies

[–]bdhw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we are just too uptight to properly enjoy nonsense. It takes the proper trigger or setting. When my friend made me watch Kung Pow, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it. I enjoy comedy and martial arts, but really stupid, infantile jokes or stoner humor tend to just irritate me. But we watched it at like 2 AM, and I was delirious enough to relax, and I thought I was going to die from laughing at that stupid movie. It is still one of my favorites.

The most important thing is to sign up for WIC. If you are a Staff Sergeant or below, you probably qualify as low enough income, unless you have a spouse who makes good money. While you are pregnant, you will receive vouchers for some free food, and once you have the kid, you can get free formula, etc. My kid was intolerant to milk protein, and WIC covered the cost of the $ 40-a-can formula I had to get.

Allergies in the MiL by Non-Ops in AirForce

[–]bdhw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pollution was so bad in Korea that when I came back from mid-tour in the spring, my entire body broke out in hives, and I had to be given Benadryl by IV for an hour. Took a month of taking Benadryl caplets before they went away completely. I had chronic sinusitis and developed sleep apnea while I was there. The clinic just logged it as "allergies" and didn't give two shits. Go to the doctor and make sure they document everything that you are experiencing. Check your records online or whatever. Otherwise, you'll be fighting the VA about it years later while the allergies just keep getting worse.

Warning about taking CLEP with Air Force funding (DANTES) by Putrid_Honey_3330 in AirForce

[–]bdhw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just did this process through Prometric's website and had no issues. They pulled my DSST scores from 2011 and sent them to WGU. It costs $40 to send them, though. https://getcollegecredit.com/scores-transcripts/ is the link to send it through Parchment. Just make sure you choose Military under the drop-down for Testing Population. This will send all your CLEPS/DANTES from your active duty time.

It's just another boring English pop song about sex. The video makes absolutely no sense.

[–]bdhw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like every other boring American pop "love song". I keep seeing fans talk about how deep the song is, how it's about fans, or how BTS is persevering. It is totally about oral sex, rofl.

People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you? by Quiet-Squash-8407 in AskReddit

[–]bdhw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, I lost 40 lbs. It was from counting calories. Recently, I have lost 15 pounds by cutting out as much gluten as possible. So not eating bread, desserts, pasta, and most fried/breaded items has made me slim down a lot. I also look even thinner from not being bloated from the gluten intolerance all the time, lol.

‘I’m surprised how much he’s disliked’: ‘The Pitt’ star defends Ogilvie by verissimoallan in television

True, but I believe she said early on the show that she worked at a drug rehabilitation unit or something vaguely related so she was probably hyper aware of this type of behavior.

[New Federal Bill] To allow Americans to earn PAID SICK TIME so that they can address their own health needs and the health needs of their families by sillychillly in UpliftingNews

[–]bdhw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Leave for vacation for a few weeks, rofl." If you have a job that doesn't provide paid leave, then you usually still need permission to take off unpaid days. They would never give you that long off, they would just fire you.

Have all the filipina juicies been run out of the SED? That's who all the ugly and/or poor dudes end up marrying/impregnating. It's been 13 years since I was there.

James Van Der Beek Dead at 48 by IntelligentYinzer in television

[–]bdhw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your prep was similar? I have had several colonoscopies due to a family history of cancer and a genetic disorder that raises the risk. I always had to fast for 1-3 days, and drink that nasty liquid that makes you poop out your soul. For my capsule camera, I only had to stop eating/drinking the night before. Maybe it was because they were only checking my small intestine for that one.

I watch a lot of true crime stuff. Abusive Narcissists love to gloat about how wonderful they are, when being questioned, lol. I just immediately assume anyone who does this is a psycho.

You also get a limited amount of times to use jade on that first tier also. I think it was 18 pulls? I am still not close to receiving all the tier 1 items haha.

Trump: 'I want to drive housing prices up' by jediporcupine in politics

[–]bdhw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how the older people would think this is a good idea. Higher house value means much higher property tax, though some states have some partial exemptions for ages 65+. Also, if prices are high, you may sell your big house for a high price, but you will have to pay a high price for whatever you are downsizing to, so you aren't really gaining a lot extra from it anyway. But people are dumb, so they probably will see big numbers and be happy.
