    OT: The New Pandemic

    It’s awful and I honestly don’t understand why they can’t see that they look like cartoon characters. Glad my wife chose to age gracefully.

    I tripped and did a really cool dad move

    And that is why I won’t have surgery on mine unless I absolutely have to. That was my doctor’s advice.

    I tripped and did a really cool dad move

    I tore my rotator cuff on December 17th. I finally went to the doctor last week and my wife literally manages an orthopedic clinic. Rub some dirt on it. Drink some water. Take 800 mg of ibuprofen and have it checked out in mid-May if it still hurts.

    Kurds off the top rope, this could get interesting!

    Nobody is claiming otherwise. America wins wars. America’s warfighters destroy the opposition. Politicians and the media spin it as something else for their own reasons.

    Y’all called them “ISIS hunters” before ISIS existed?

    Kurds off the top rope, this could get interesting!

    If it hasn’t happened, it’s going to happen. We’ll supply some other nation to go in and fight. We’ll send advisors with them.

    OT: My Veteran Benefit.

    It ain’t $1500 a month. Closer to $300 and it’s not an additional $300. It’s $300 in place of whatever you were receiving for them as a minor dependent. 100% is going max out around $4500 a month. May find some slightly above or below based on certain conditions, but $4500 is on the high side.

    OT: My Veteran Benefit.

    May have been true in years past, but not today. Guys with actual combat injuries and guys who got injured during service can get what they deserve if they are willing to fight for it. The problem is, the system is designed to discourage participation and to frustrate veterans into giving up...

    OT: My Veteran Benefit.

    Get back in there and keep pushing. My initial rating was 60%. I just got to 90%. So many issues are service connected and connected to one another. If you have legit claims, getting to 100% is life changing money for regular folks. It’s not just disability. It’s disability AND compensation...

    OT: most influential country artist ever

    Argue all you want, but the real answer here is Garth Brooks. Love him or hate him, he made country music mainstream.

    OT: What was your hourly pay at the first W2 job you held?

    I believe it was $7.25 as a student worker at Mississippi State circa 2001/2002.

    Heading over to …..

    Both halftime shows were trash. More talent at local high school talent shows. Let’s get back to football.
