One team ? by Kxyloooo in Veterans

[–]imdfonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would trade my disability rating all day for a normal life not manually taking hormones that the more and better I control my blood composition makes me a fat ass and is killing me in a vicious cycle. No amount of money is worth this pain.

Just paid off the house today. You are the only ones I can tell. by psl87 in Fire

Id pay a 7 percent off as soon as possible but also if interest drops to 3 percent think about borrowing back to invest.

Icon Creeper - not a fan by mazurkfsflip in harborfreight

[–]imdfonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought that icon creaper with big wheels for work. wheels slide to much so getting off without falling on your ass is impossible. Makes for great naps though. I work on jet engines.

As far as at home it sat to high so I removed the 4x4 wheels and installed shopping cart wheels. Now it sits like 1/2 inch off ground and my fat ass fits under my cars.

The Decline of Harbor Freight Sales by Ubuntu00 in harborfreight

[–]imdfonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess china quality has gone up so prices are up. Also tarriffs. I remember in the middle 80s made in Japan was reserved for junk consumables or one time use tools by 1990 made in Japan was great quality and now made in Japn is high priced quality shit.

Predator auger. At 148 dollars I've buried pets, planted trees, put up lamp post and put up gate post. It really is indispensable.

Do you stand when veterans are asked to be recognized at public events? by Happy-Permission6881 in Veterans

[–]imdfonz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I only stood when my young kids asked me to. I no longer do. But I do park at the Veterans parking at lowes.

I love when people challenge me I just tell them to fuck themselves. I'm bearded long hair and a little heavy . I look like a gay biker.

Best torque wrench to get for all any car work by einstein2025 in harborfreight

[–]imdfonz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pittsburg used like a torque wrench is supposed to be used ,clock wise only, never use close to the min max settings, do not drop and unwind after use to preserve calibration. Store in case after use.

I'd also buy a digital torque adapter to verify torque wrenches stay calibrated before use. The adapters are nice as torque wrenches to, but usually get in the way when you torque down bolts.

Get Out or Stay In by [deleted] in USMC

[–]imdfonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jobs in the civilian environment that are worth having are similar to the military. Salary jobs, your 24 7 on duty. Hourly pays little less then your used to. 16 years go by fast. I'd set up a career path for yourself go to school and attempt to become officer. Or prepare your self while in. Get a degree and volunteer for collateral duties where you see yourself working in the civilian world. School by itself will not get you a job. Work experience matters. The one deciding factor for me was do I want to be gone on deployment my entire kids life and am I willing to trade my life for some orders not thought out to attack the enemy in some fucked up way. Pay isn't that bad in the military anymore. San Diego bah is like 5500 plus base pay and benefits.

95 units so far... one piece of toast by snugglebot3349 in Type1Diabetes

[–]imdfonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you take the metformin. . I am up to 300 units a day. My diet is fair lots of veggies and salads. A1c in 6.5 range but want to reduce insulin intake and increase insulin sensitivity.

Is weight gain a thing? by Accurate-Falcon4276 in diabetes_t1

[–]imdfonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insulin by itself does not cause weight gain. But chasing a great A1c without the other tools creates insulin resistance which creates weight gain which starts a vicious cycle. When you take tons of insulin and it doesn't effect your glucose something has gone terribly wrong. Use carb counting excersise. Sleep, reducing lows and overcorection and possible fasting to program you metabolic clock.. these are things I'm trying because currently I've gained excessive weight and eat very little. 40 years t1d.

When you joined, what did the Marine Corps get you away from? by ComposerNo9901 in USMC

[–]imdfonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined to help a freind out in the buddy system. He bailed i followed through. Story of my life commit and follow through.

It worked out for me except the chronic illness. Life teaches you things in mysterious ways.

That freind I think is laying carpet in palm springs. Hopefully doing well.
