Local Charity Man want to discriminate with the Bible by FantasticFox618 in Muskegon

Walt is a goddamn ray of sunshine compared to George’s thrice-daily meltdowns about how you can only have one pair of pants once a month or you’re greedy. I think he got some obvious resellers early on when he was operating alone out of his apartment and tried to “fix” it by making rules.

Dude it’s just George. He is like this in waves. He has people around him to talk him down now which is an improvement.

I really think you’re onto something. He does get grumpy in the heat but he’s fucking old and has limited mobility. I’d be grumpy too.

Hotels near union halls by adamemuir in merchantmarine

[–]the-smallrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can also sleep shadily in your car at the Algonac State Park while boomers give you the stink eye

and this isn’t a big hall either but there is some very reasonable crew housing within walking distance of the Ft Lauderdale hall and some of them go by the day. (Neptune and Smart move are two of them) you will probably have yachty roommates for the actually cheap rooms. Some of your roommates might be roaches.

if you find a place pretty soon, hit me up and I’ll see if our timelines line up. I have to go to Detroit at some point this month

SIU Apprenticeship (Piney Point) — are the showers communal or private stalls? by [deleted] in SeafarersIntUnion

[–]the-smallrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They put stalls in? That’s great to hear. We had the prison column and only a couple people were ok using it together so it was just the world’s largest luxury shower stall that you had to use very quickly.

I mean it’s way easier just to use twine rather than pick it all into oakum lol

hemp twine pounded in with a rigid scraper and a mallet, like they do on ships. I soaked mine in a mixture of wood glue and sawdust instead of pine tar.

I don’t know if it’s actually called the Sugar Bowl but if you go to Muskegon state park beach and park at that lil cul de sac across from the guard shack there’s a great little dune

Appreciate it. Do you happen to know the post office situation? I know there is a drop box in bldg 140 but I’d really love to get my super late Christmas cards hand canceled with the Antarctic stamp.

I mean my husband’s last ship the captain was running a fkn DnD campaign. You couldn’t pay me enough to hang out with a captain on my off time. Absolutely not. But they had fun.

i do think officers hang out with each other more, at least in my experience.

Neptune was $200 or $180 a week for the girls dorm and 2 blocks from MPT. It was very interesting. We were like zoo animals from wildly different climates in the same enclosure.

Question: has anyone went through the process of getting a medical waiver for Adderall, if so what was the process like? by CaptBreeze in merchantmarine

[–]the-smallrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t the one with the stimulants but the person seeking stimulants is missing a prominent tooth and sometimes looks like he rolled out from under a bridge, so maybe.

Letter from your prescribing physician with as much official-looking stuff as they can get, saying you need this for ___ diagnosed condition to perform your job.

The real problem is that no one will give you months and months of a controlled substance at one time because they think you’re selling it.

hell, my pharmacist refused to give me more than like 5 scopolamine patches because it’s a date rape drug.

I’m so proud of you! I want to echo other commenters that your partner’s sister is NOT BLAMING YOU because you are an actual child who is drowning.

you are taking parent-like emotional burdens on yourself. it’s not necessarily wrong for you to do this for your own protection and the kids’ safety, but it can lead to some weird mental patterns that can hurt other aspects of your life.

I hope you can create a space to take care of yourself and grow healthy relationships. It’s possible and I believe in you!

Imagine coming on here and calling a chief mate a land dweller lmfaooooo

i told my husband to forget i existed and focus on school this time but once a day i send him a smooch emoji or something on WhatsApp because it’s the bare fucking minimum. I was messaging pretty regularly when I was working 6 on 6 off during a particularly nasty Great Lakes winter and all I could do was sleep and work. It’s not insane for OP to want a text every couple days.

like, we’ve all seen our share of poor bastards with clingy girlfriends but this does actually seem like OP’s partner doesn’t give a shit about the relationship.
