Über-Minister 15618 points | so far it's a good day August 22, 2008 @ 04:26:30 pm | I'm addicted to Kona coffee. and I do not have to go to the base today..
My Id and Current Med hold expires tomorrow and I was in desperate need to get s**t done.. but someone on base hooked me up.. ( I think I know who0 I love retired Marines.
SO they will give me anew Mil Id without me even having to show up because of my gimp status. and I will continue to get paid.. which is always good. and starting the 2nd I will have three months to get back into shape. providing nothing goes wrong. and then hopefully I will be placed back into full duty and Be able to compete. I'll be in the Below Zone and it would be nice to be selected for SSgt.. One can dream.. ha ha ha
SO yeah.. so far this morning is going well.  6 comments | Reply |

Über-General 652 points | Sanity Shrugs July 29, 2008 @ 03:41:58 am | The world in which I live is not much different than that of my father or my father's father, but somehow it feels different.
My father struggled to raise a family as did his father before him, yet each passing generation learns of those struggles and never seems to learn much from it.
My father said "Son, always save some money for your old age." Did I listen? Oh hell no. Do I wish I did? Certainly. Of course each generation thinks life is long, struggles will be few and tomorrows never stop.
I don't have children of my own, but I know if I did I would tell them the same things I was told, and they would ignore them just like I did until a day comes when they would know the old man wasn't so stupid afterall.
The struggles we face are the same. How we face them remain unchanged. Yet we look around and assume we have it worse than our fathers had it, when in reality our father's had it much worse then we will ever know.
The wisdom of age is wasted on the youth but I guess in the never ending struggle of our daily existence, we look over our shoulders and wonder why things seemed so easy to our forefathers.
Little wonder the generations we raise are looking at us like we don't have a clue. Being in tune with reality is something one gains with the passage of time, heartache, struggles and the joy of waking up to another day and thanking dear old dad for at least letting me have any day at all.

Über-General 652 points | Here's the thing.... July 27, 2008 @ 09:27:30 pm | The weekend is almost over, I don't go in to work until noon and well, I just hate Mondays. Love my job, just hate Mondays.
Didn't do all that much this weekend, worked on the web site, worked on the lottery team site and worked on my private page. Basically I geeked all weekend. Well, I did go to breakfast with my mother, brother his wife and my soon to be wife. That was okay. Hit the bookstores, bought a few books, cleaned the fish pond water filter and here I am again... geeking and hanging out on TheForumSite.
I should hang out more on my own site.....grin. But there are a crapload more people here.... in time I guess... in time.

Über-General 652 points | God I hate doctors! July 26, 2008 @ 09:20:55 pm | So, I have lost 45 pounds, and my docs are still saying I need to lose about 30 more. That's not a problem but who in the hell designed these charts for what a good weight should be?
According to the charts I need to be no more than 152 pounds!!!!
Hell I was 180 when I played three sports, ran 5 miles a day and didn't eat any sugar!!! I would kill to be back to 180, and I guess I will get there....
Even my doctor was thinking about getting that gastric bypa** surgery and here he is telling ME I have to lose more weight!!!
The nerve.....Reply |
