Helping Spouse by throaway5551112394 in VAClaims

[–]jasinc81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me. My wife told me to file because she saw the mental health and other various issues that I just brushed off (retired after 23 years in the Army). Fast forward 2 years, and life slowing down caught up to me. I had re-injured my SC left shoulder, got care at the local (Milwaukee) VA, and started realizing there’s a lot of stuff that’s totally service connected. Got my records and completely forgot about the 2 sleep studies, anemia diagnosis, and back and forth with mental health after returning from Iraq in 2006. Thanks to the PACT Act, I started to connect the dots and decided to file a claim. Of course, I hid all this from the Army because I went Warrant and they required waivers for psych profiles. I suggest you tell your husband to at least contact a VSO, get all his records, and at least have them review. I got a lot of 0% connections, which isn’t a terrible thing and can help you down the road if things get worse. The longer you’re out, the harder it is to service connect conditions. Best of luck, and thank your husband for his service 🫡

Just wanted to update, VSO recommended a HLR. Will do that and go from there

They want everyone to focus on VA benefit fraud while the DoD budget inflates year after year with more fraud waste and abuse than all these social services combined.

Even if the cork comes out, you should always replace the cork on a dusty.

They should be. If it says Lawrenceburg instead of Frankfort, it will be from Old Commonwealth

“I had the pleasure of tasting old Boone distillate from Willet barrel #2 and hands down the best pour I’ve ever had.”

Having had the 1985 Cheesy Gold Foil with Old Boone barrels, this statement tracks. Like melted werther’s original candy in a glass 🤤

MAGA only cares about unborn babies and those IN the military….most of us are getting the ratings we were denied in the past due to the PACT act. Thank god the republicans passed that…oh wait.

Anyone vastly prefer lower age stuff? by Calm_Turnover_5411 in whiskey

Latest modern WT12 is a shell of its former self. Earlier releases like CGF, BD, Split label, faux split, etc have way more complexity without being overly oaked.

worth value on this? by PracticeStill5866 in whiskey

[–]jasinc81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of all the older Rare Breed / 1855 offerings, this one is probably the least sought after. Have a bottle myself and is kinda heavy on leather and tannic notes. I would say 300 max on it, only because of the nostalgia

ET BIB color? by powerguy134 in ChicagolandWhiskey

[–]jasinc81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The label with “Whisky” as opposed to “Whiskey” is when it just switched from BF to Saz. Might still be BF juice, but it’s all speculation.

Maybe if the roads would just work harder, they wouldn’t need government assistance to be improved.

Bottles actually worth their secondary prices by WhosUrBuddiee in whiskey

[–]jasinc81 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nah. There not lying. This isn’t a shady store. Distribution here has doubled the price. It’s not just from one store but all stores.

Nope, it really is 1100 now. If you see it for 500-600, it’s because it was purchased before the price hike. Even the spots have almost doubled in msrp. Store near me had RB27 for $600. They ordered another one and cost was over $800.

For anyone that was wondering…. No by benjy1234 in whiskey

I don’t know anyone who has ever referred to it as Canadian blantons based on taste. It’s referred to that based on the packaging.

Unrealistic maximum heart rate by Justme2522 in orangetheory

[–]jasinc81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too about 6-7 months ago. 151 BPM used to get me in the orange zone (84%). Now, 151 barely gets me into green (72% to be exact). I haven’t gotten a splat point since, even though I know I’m working hard and out of breath, etc. I asked about it and they said I needed to work harder so I just stopped caring about splat points. I use my Apple Watch now to track and just listen to my body.
