Ok, I’ve had a shitty day . . . or two

Seriously, I got nothing. I’d describe it but it looks miniscule and my peeps make me look stupid. … and they would be right to do so. I have a post I’ve been working on but can’t focus. I have my friends in my mind and I don’t forget them. Yeah, I made fun of …

This Giveaway has a Winner!! (Ended)

The recent wreckage I caused myself is finally smoothing out. Lessons were learned, I have grown as a result and life in general is returning to a state of relative normalcy. What does that mean for me? It means I’m back in the saddle and I’m ready to start bringing the funny again. What does …

Top 20 Tuesday for July 5th, 2011: Craigslist Leftovers

Today was one of those days. By the time I realized it was Tuesday and it was a Top 20 day, it was after lunch and I pretty much had nothing for an idea. Then I had a great idea and started in on it and got halfway through it and decided it was complete …

Take Care of your Veterans

tapslogo The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) offers compassionate care to all those grieving the death of a loved one serving in our Armed Forces. Since 1994, TAPS has provided comfort and hope 24 hours a day, seven days a week through a national peer support network and connection to grief resources, all at no cost to surviving families and loved ones.

A Drill Instructor from my Company at Parris Island took his own life not long after I had graduated from boot camp. He was not my Drill Instructor, but I had many interactions with him during my training. He was a dedicated Marine. His wife, rather than suffer quietly, took it upon herself to help other family members of veterans that have chosen this path as a way out. TAPS is one of those efforts. Please help the veteran who suffers by reaching out, and if you are a family member of a veteran who does or did need help, reach out to this program for support.
