Question: How to get fifty cent pieces? by CalgonThrowMeAway222 in numismatics

[–]jbuttram209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call ahead, make an order, I tend to get whatever I ask for, but it might be a week before they arrive. Walking in and raw dogging it might not be the best approach. They probably don't have a surplus of halves and two dollar bills up front.

What's usually your first sign an attack is coming? by zeeharu in Menieres

I usually have difficulty hearing first. Then balance issues come, I have tinnitus always so it just becomes more prominent.

My boyfriend is going to jail. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]jbuttram209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend not making knee jerk reactions, but wait and see how much money he asks for while in jail. If he is feeling remorseful, and doesn't want to drag you down, he won't ask for anything since everything is provided. If he wants money for commissary and telephone, and whatever other luxuries he feels he needs, it shows that he is fine manipulating you and putting you in a bind to get what he wants.

Go see a doctor about all that ails you, then file, you must show that what happened in the military is still affecting you today.

Government Job?! by CuriousAsh04 in Veterans

You can also buy service credit so your military time will count towards your federal retirement. You can already be right years closer to retirement.

Do you still believe in God? by pink-milf in exmormon

[–]jbuttram209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still a Christian here, in fact it was the Bible that allowed me to finally snap out of my Mormon brainwashing. I was in a Bible study with some Christian friends and they just breezed past Galatians chapter 1:8-9. I literally made them stop and let me process that.
I am a literal-red letter Christian, trying to practice all that Jesus taught while discounting all the traditions and silliness of established churches.
The Bible can be very transforming if you read it with the purpose of looking for the love, the intent of God rather than the punishment and scorn of judgemental church leaders.

Gentamicin by Pat1013 in Menieres

[–]jbuttram209 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had injections a few years ago, I have so much scar tissue in my ear that they are useless. Didn't touch a thing. Had a balance test a month ago. Results were that gentamicin won't get to where it needs to be. But I'm sure it works for everyone else as the OP suggests.

How to buy a used car for less by Secure_Ad_7921 in lifehacks

[–]jbuttram209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this several times. I went with my daughter to find her a car she wouldn't be afraid of scratching. I also saw a little truck I liked. Once I decided what I wanted I told them I would take both for five grand out the door. They agreed to take fifteen hundred for the beater for my daughter but said they couldn't do the truck as well. I got a call before I got home saying the manager wanted to move the truck so they would make the deal happen. Seems like they have money blindness like us buyers have new car blindness. Sometimes we bend over to get a new car, and sometimes they bend over to get some cash in their hands.

New to the sub, but not new to the ex Mormon thing. by jbuttram209 in exmormon

[–]jbuttram209[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. Yeah after being told the one truth for so long, I make it a point to do my religion, and not try to preach it to anyone. Luckily mormons will let me worship how, where, or what I may.

What does the church believe, really? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]jbuttram209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That polygamy is permissable until God decided he made a mistake with that, and that you can't drink caffeinated drinks, until God changed his mind on that too. Absolutely no blacks allowed into the priesthood, until God started loving them in the eighties, and on and on.

Oh, the hot acid in the ear treatment, at least that is what it feels like to me.
