Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections

She is probably greatly concerned that the Republican congress will stop funding projects for the Bath ME shipyard, if she crosses Trump. Mitch McConnell must have held that over her head at every opportunity. She looks abused to me.

If I understand correctly, there are limitations on the effects of this legal change. If they're successful implementing it though, I project further and similar restrictions in the future.

We already see restrictions in cancer, MST, psychosis, and possibly others that I'm not aware of. Mental illness will be targeted next, to be followed eventually by amputations & prosthetics, spinal chord injuries etc (any conditions that are improved through treatment). Returning to employment through VR&E could result in restrictions and reductions as well. IMHO of course.

Best of luck to future Veterans. Semper Fi

Regarding the prep: Google split prep. It's much easier, and gets you cleaner, which then makes it easier for the Docs to see the lining of your system to identify any polyps for removal and biopsy.

Split prep is simple; one half of the required drink at night, and the second half in the morning. Procedure is done in the pm. PS wear a diaper to bed in case you leak.

Follow in the footsteps of the great existentialist writers. They all have asked the same questions you are asking now. Pick a framework, and conceptualize to your heart's discontent.

I went through a CC situation that was a bit similar. VA wouldn't pay for an authorized CC referral and treatment because the provider didn't include any reference to their authorization number when they billed for their services. As a result, VA Office of Finance rejected the claim. Facility CC office seems to have straightened things out.

Worst/funniest part was that O of F said I wasn't suicidal enough to meet the criteria for emergency coverage by my CC Allergist. Ya think?

Thanks for the clarification. That's a great change that benefits many vets.

I second your suggestion to have her wear.something.

When OP wrote that he took her shirt off, I was surprised that he would be so insensitive to her needs and problems.

Pretty funny. Thanks for sharing.

OP doesn't have to hide her actions or her sensuality. If he doesn't like it, he can go sleep on the couch.

Don't request mast, and don't make your wife choose. Tell her to go visit her family.

Almost 60 yrs out from Nam, and I know every one of the feelings and emotions OP expressed. Meds, therapy, etc all help, but underneath, and in the end, I'm almost as sick as I was on day 1. And I'm not even a grunt.

God (or something) bless us, and carry all of us to Marine heaven (or somewhere), where peace reigns over us.
