Travel Channel (One of my favorite channels, but still...) - "Billy dun communed with a spirit!" Destination America - "Billy dun seen Bigfoot!" History Channel (by FAR the biggest offender) - "Billy dun pawned em a goodun!"/"Billy dun got bit by a gator!"/Billy dun got abducted by aliens!" aHc - "Billy dun found Hitler!" Even the Science channel now (which had become my last stand channel, after H2 got axed and became yet another mindless drone channel) - "Billy dun used a satellite and seen a dinosaur hidin' out yonder in them trees!"

But I mean, ****, @Riggo-toni is right, why even both calling it History Channel anymore? It's like when I witnessed TLC go from showing Docs on all kinds of natural disaster stuff in mid-90s to basically a Reality TV station. Remember "Wild Discovery"? Me neither.

Is this fairly normal? She is single and has no family in the area. I'm not a civilian but have worked with and deployed with many. Short version: It's like the majority of the military. The majority see nothing and just had to deal with the heat. Others have seen/experienced things that effect them in a negative way. It isn't uncommon though for people returning from deployment to be advised to not be alone upon return. No matter what they saw, it is still a huge, sudden culture shift that can be hard to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not as good as the movie but if you're interested (and I am) in the continuing saga of Bob Lee Swagger without having to read the books, it's available. Thanks! I am going back and forth whether to get Netflix or Hulu. I am leaning towards Hulu because they have cloud services so I can record the soaps and skip the commercials. Also, they have channels I like. My daughter has Netflix, so, ya know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin told me some places he was a civilian they were throwing explosives over the wall, never saw that when in air force. I don't believe everyone is wired to not let that get to them, reaching out is wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still bother because despite basically all of their daily stuff being cheap (but wildly popular, hence the change) programming that they sold out for, on certain days of the year, they all go for broke with special, big gun actor narrated shows, so they can still claim that it's their hallmark... Even though it's nonsense. Just wish they'd (the ones more academic/institution based) stick to what they were meant to be. At the end of the day though, like everyone else, you can be/preach what you want, but if you wanna stay afloat, you go where the money is.

Maybe, though I do believe a lot of the channels are going to end up like borders because they can't keep up with the times and specificly make their content easily accessible to the cordless folks. I had to add an entire cable package jus to get one channel (science channel), everything they have should be on Netflix right now. Syfy comes to mind, look at what happened with "the expanse", how do you lose a 100% rated show on rotten tomatoes? Because your "blockbusters", that's why. Grasping for cable rating is a losing strategy and shortsighted at best, cable as we know will be gone in our lifetime. Adapt or die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Two or three times a year I get this intense back pain. Feels like a gigantic knot that radiates all over.

I used to always think people who complained about back pain were soft....until my back went out. I haven't shrieked like that since I snapped my ankle in half on the football field in 10th grade. Excruciating, unimaginable pain. I went to the ground and could not get up. Took me 20 minutes to get from the floor to the couch, and then I ended up sleeping in the basement because I couldn't get up the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Went to lunch twice this week for work (on the company dime) and both meals were awful. First one was to panera—that place just straight up sucks. Second place was a decent restaurant asked for a burger (medium well) and it came out burnt. I'm not going to send food back on a free meal but just ****ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Obamacare is amazing. I lost my health insurance when I quit my job in January. It was a really good Blue Shield PPO plan. They wanted to charge me $900 a month to keep it and I was like hell no. So I got subsidized health insurance through Covered California for like $140 a month. It's an HMO plan but whatever. I just got this really expensive ointment for $15 that would've cost $800 out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for psoriasis. I have these gigantic Scandanavian eyebrows and they have worse dandruff than my actual scalp. Walking around all day with snow flurries on my face looking like a fool. On another note, I think it's ridiculous how much pharmaceutical companies charge for their products. No way that ointment is worth $800. All about supply and demand I guess.

The Evil Genius Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Tbf, the drug companies have to pay the young coeds to flirt with the doctors somehow. Otherwise, who will overprescribe their medications? Also..my boss is a feckless Ivanka. Going on 15 months of it. Not sure how much longer I'll survive her. Also also..think my FF team this year is going to be the Feckless Counts. Only I'll get that joke in my league. Like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
