So welcome to another week of Hot Mess Mill Mom, or holiday, so we're not, but, you know, everything else military is, we're holding it down like a PCS sticker. We're keeping this together, whatever this week, it was a clusterfuck, and we've been able to literally have no fucking script, nope, nope, we've had, we're just throwing shit out there, yes, it's been a rough one, but we do, we have a couple of things that we're going to share, and so it's going to be a week of just kind of bullshitting, and shit chatting, our highest point, and our lowest point in the military thus far, and of course, the drama of the week, and then we're just going to kind of just let loose with some shit chat, because it's been shitty weeks, it's everything that gets missed out on before we get serious, I guess who you want to call it serious, it's all the prior thing, shit, super serious, super, super, super, super, super, even, so we're just going to fuck it around this week, it's been tough, we earned a little fun, a little fun, a little, a little fun, a little fun, a permanent list, it's just we're lifting it up, we're doing it again, holding it together like a BCS sticker, oh god, holding it down to, and I will say pound pound, that's later than I right now, that's two days in pound now, that's what you do, okay, you want me to start, yes, I'm dying to hear your story, so I need you to start, can you start with the low, oh my god, so we do, go from last to the low, okay, so you know how everybody in every election, it's always, they're always either bitching or they use like their high selling point and all these fucked up campaigns about healthcare, healthcare, healthcare, and now healthcare is so awesome and we totally need like free healthcare or the benefits of this kind of healthcare and all that shit, so military healthcare is like socialized medicine, it sounds fantastic on paper, but there are some downsides to really need it, so I had some issues, I, when we first came here to Georgia, I started getting bites and what looked like lesions all over my skin, oh my god, yeah, and turns out, well I say it turns out but how do I fucking trust these, yeah, yeah, because I don't fucking trust them and you guys will understand why, so super personal story, obviously, I love to garden and we have tons of plants, we had a big garden out in our backyard and I would go out there, I would fuck around, pull in weeds, water and shit, pulling shit, plucking shit, just tons of shit, constant, every fucking day shit, shit, shit, and I came inside one day, did my fucking around and shitting around in the house, went to work, looked down, my legs are fucking oozing with like goo, so I called the doctor, make an appointment, go in there, they start swabbing my legs, they come back and they say I'm covered in spider venom, oh what the, I'm not dead, I feel fine, you're not a spider man, I'm not a fucking spider man, because that's bullshit, you know why can't I ever be the fucking Hulk, I've been in an x-ray machine enough times, fucking geranium, geranium, gamma radiation, whatever the fuck that is, I don't pay attention to the movies, I just like looking at the dudes, I'm a Wonder Woman, goddamn period, so I obviously do not have super powers, even though my kids think I do, and we will let them continue to think that, I don't have any super powers, I'm not dead last time I chat, that's a super power, my husband thinks I'm dead under the waist sometimes, but I'm still functioning, and they said I was just oozing tons of fucking spider venom and I'm like okay, so what do we do now? They said well, obviously you're immune, I'll let it, I'm just pausing for everyone here to kind of take this sin, it's how fuck are you immune to spider venom, like well I have like wounds that are oozing, it's not necessarily like fucking immune, like my body's just rejecting spider venom, I'm like no, we're not gonna be able to, like what? My body's just screaming, I don't want to die today, so I'm just gonna like push it out, I'm granted, I know you can't see, but I was covered in dozens and dozens of these bumps, and the venom quote unquote, from my pores, so they gave me these creams, these lotions and sent me home, said basically if you don't die in the next 48 hours, give us a call, give us an update of how you're doing, what the fuck, literally was my discharge notes, what the fuck, I'll fucking haunt you, so I go home, I tell my husband, he's pretty much in shock and awe, yeah, no shit, and I can't tell if he's thinking hey this means I'll get 100 grand in two days, or maybe we should get a second opinion, yeah, so I go to urgent care, off post, granted, they look at my legs, they say it's not spider venom, it's, we think it's staff infection, okay, that makes more sense, right, so they give me antibiotics, and they send me home, so I start taking the antibiotics, fuck these damn creams, fuck the fact that it could be spider venom, I don't fucking care, I'm gonna go with the people who make more sense, yeah, so I take the antibiotics, my skin starts to clear up, I call my doctor on post, and I tell them, look, I didn't fucking listen to you, I listened to them, my legs are better, basically go fuck yourself, yeah, as one does, so after some time, it was like 3 weeks or a month or so, my skin starts doing it again, I start getting more bites, granted, my head now before anybody starts thinking anything, we faithful, okay, we faithful, and got no STDs, I got nothing going on, none of that shit, I haven't had any large cuts, any large wounds, nothing like that, okay, we went through all these processes of thinking this shit. Were they the same spots, no, new spots, but now they're bites that are coming up and they're bumps, so they are definitely bug bites, yeah, but they're just flies, they're little pests and stuff like that, just anything, no, just nothing bumps, just coming up, but the bug bites started opening up and then they started becoming lesions, and so I kept going back to the doctor, they then referred me out to a dermatologist who then referred me out to another specialist and another specialist and another specialist, I'm going to sum it up because it turns out to be like over a year process, but after so long, the dermatologist starts saying okay, well maybe it's severe staff, maybe it's MRSA, maybe it's this and this and this, either way you have to go to your doctor and you need to get tested for this. You go back to my doctor, my regular PCM, and the whole time, doctors share notes, they share referral notes, they share all of that, so the doctor keeps asking me, what did this doctor say, okay, I tell them exactly what they said, okay, we're going to go get your blood drawn, all right, so I've had my blood drawn probably 10, 12 times in the past year, and finally the doctor tells me, well you have MRSA, holy shit, okay, what do we do? I don't fucking care what I have, just do something about it, because that's the only thing on my mind, just tell me where to go next, I've been everywhere under the fucking sun, tell me what to take, tell me what to do, at this point, time, the best result that I ever got was whenever I was told I had to take bleach bath once a week, holy shit, literally 50% bleach, 50% water, soak my body in it for an hour, get out, hose down, that's it, I was the best result that I got from anything, was dipping my body in bleach, Jesus, straight bleach, holy shit, so, and I do not recommend anybody doing it, it is painful as fucking hell, I imagine with open like wounds and stuff too, just your skin anyway getting bleach is on it is fucking horrible, it's painful, but if you have those kind of wounds, there's a fuck up, damn, so, being told I have MRSA, by my doctor, getting blood tests done, him still telling me I have MRSA, they talk about these numerous rounds of antibiotics I've been on, he says that it's not working, they start talking about how they're gonna put antibiotics in my body, other ways, they say that they're gonna cut open my chest, put something in my arm, different stuff, those tries and doctors saying well you gotta do this or you have to go here, you gotta put in this, you gotta get this referral, whatever, infectious disease specialist not returning my calls, millions of people to try care, why are they calling me back, why aren't they doing this, who do my call next, I've left 20 messages here, well we're gonna switch a referral here, there's only three doctors here, well we're gonna send you to Florida, well okay the next one's in North Carolina, well they're not answering my call, that's the wrong doctor, I mean it's it's a fucking, oh my god, fucking awful, then it's well the referral has to be written this way, call your doctor back, have them change the wording, have them change the word to this, okay well now we're sending it here, okay well that doctor actually stopped practicing so now we're sending your referral here, well I don't know why, then infectious disease says well you don't have a MRSA, I need this kind of blood test done, so I call my PCM, okay well I already had the infectious disease he's talking about, you're all fucking doctors, what the fuck is going on, we don't talk to each other which is fucking insane, why are you guys talking through me, here's his number, call him, well I can't call him, I sent the referral, that should be good enough, obviously it's fucking not, yeah like that's why we're having this conversation, so I go to the surgeon, they tell me the proper steps, get the port put in, then infectious disease will see you, you get the antibiotics which was supposed to be shot in my chest, first time I'm told I'm supposed to be having someone come out to the house, putting it in my chest every day, then I'm told it's once a week, putting it in my chest, then someone else says that I'm supposed to learn how to do it, oh my god, then I'm told that somebody is supposed to come out, they're going to have a thing put in my chest and then something go on top of it, then they send it home, I change it out every fucking week, no one's telling me what the fuck's going on, so I'm laying there and I'm getting right to have my chest fucking cut open, I have no idea what's going on, I don't know when I'm getting the antibiotics, I don't know where I'm fucking getting them from, all I know is I'm sitting there, I'm told I'm dying, I've already been to a bereavement counselor because that's part of the process too, you go to a counselor they teach you about death, so that was fantastic also, here I am already with PTSD and anxiety and we sit in front of a counselor and they're like what are your plans for if you possibly die, well I'm going to be dead, so I really don't know what fucking plans I'm making, I'm hunching everyone, yeah, I don't know, have you ever seen Beetlejuice, I'm Beetlejuice, not this evidence, that's, you know, right, somebody says my name three fucking times, I've been or not fucking come back, my kids will dig me up from the grave just to ask me if they can have a snack, just to ask them, I mean burn my body, so there's nothing to dig up, you know, they go shrink like my ashes, that's, yeah, hopefully I'm at peace, Jesus Christ, my husband would probably stick me up and prop me on the couch just so the kids have something to occupy themselves with, to distract him away from him, he would have me stuff before he had the dog stuff, and he would probably have a whole burrowed in me just so he could stick warm pie in it every now and then, it's a dark humor for me, I have no fucking idea, you asked me what my plans are, you should probably have my whole family in here asking that, because personally, this would be the one time where I have nothing planned, it would be awesome, someone else has to play, like if the lights go out, I'm done, it would be nice, this is the one thing I have to plan, I have to plan the vacations, I have to plan the sleepovers, I have to plan everything, you tell me that the lights are just gonna go quick, make a big shit, you know, it sucks, yes, but who, I have to do nothing fine, I just go to sleep, nothing is just there, but you have to like prepare yourself, that's the conversation that they're trying to have with you, I mean I got a will, how many grown ups do you know, actually I have a fucking will, especially in our age, I mean I got guardians for the kids, because Joey can handle that shit, I got wills, I mean I have investments and shit through maybe federal, I'm the most adult person that I probably know, I don't like a handful of a million, you're the most adult person, I know the shit down pat, I have a husband shit covered, if I die tomorrow, it's covered, shit's covered, except Joey's got to do the rest of the laundry, so he's probably gonna go buy new clothes, but just gonna rack up the credit card bill, but that's okay, you know, it's fine, oh my god, you know, and then I got plenty of people that I'm gonna haunt, so if it does, if something does continue happening, can you haunt me, can I request it, I would love it, I don't know, just try saying many three times, see what the fuck happens, by the way, so there I am, I'm laying down, I get my chest cut open, they stick this funky little fucking thing in me that looks like an octopus, and it's wrapped around fucking tendons and shit, I have a picture of it, it's pretty fucking morbid looking, I'm not putting it online, anyways, so it's in my chest, it's there, they zip me up, and I go home, and they tell me okay, everything's fine, you're gonna be fine, you're gonna live, hello hello, what the fuck ever, so I go home, call infectious disease, call my doctor, I'm home now, what the fuck do I do, put things in, you know, let's do this, let's get me living, and no answer, no call, infectious disease finally calls me back, they said, well I don't know why you had a wedding, you just can't help you, what, excuse me, what are you talking about, luckily we put our kids in after school activities in the military, luckily other people put their kids in after school activities, and we happened to be friends with them, luckily that friend came through for us, unfortunately for others, he was their boss, holy shit, turns out my doctor knew I did not have MRSA, he knew because he never got the appropriate test for my blood done, or what it was called, it was called a O capsule test or something like that, it was full blood test, only had the basic blood test done, yes you have to like go in depth to be able to show MRSA, and I found out he didn't have the right one done because after everyone got in trouble, and after this friend called everybody who was 10 steps ahead of my doctor, like 10 levels above my doctor, they had the director of medicine at the hospital, see me personally, she ordered the correct blood test and they took like a hundred miles, yeah it's a lot, and they were big old fucking vials, do you know you need to get that done? they said have you ever had this done, no I have it, as I'm sitting there, am I going to live through this, like everything, I said I've never had this done, and they said well you should have already had this done, is it, well fuck him, it's like the scene from Saul when they each have to like cut themselves, but like they kill everybody so they have to give so much of their own, oh my god, it was a shit ton of fucking blood, and that was the scene from her son, they did a full body exam, blood work, everything, I had to pee in a cup, I had to shit in a bucket, oh my god, I had never been so fucking probed and tested, and I was so happy, yeah because I could imagine I was so invasive, it was everything but a fucking pet scan, because those things are like 30,000 fucking dollars, I got the Kim Kardashian fucking treatments, do you have ass in place, is that how they're checking for it, that's where it's just go, I got to create a treat, she, that director of my own testing needs for everything, now this, when you had this done though, you didn't know that he did you know at that point that he had falsified stuff, or no, I didn't know yet, but you knew that you didn't have that test done, but they came in and they said we are questioning your results, we're not 100% sure why infectious disease is giving you difficulties, so for you to get the antibiotics done here at the hospital, there's just some tests that we need to finalize, I said okay, but I, do you fucking dying, or is she not dying, and that's when they said we just need to finalize some tests, and when they left, because my friend was with me and my husband was with me, he looked over at me, he goes you're not dying, they're full of shit, and I just kind of sat there, I'm like I just want to cry, I'm so, I just started crying, I was so mad, I was so angry, I didn't want to be relieved, because I didn't know for sure, but I was so fucking pissed, yeah, because here I am, it was still fresh, it was only a couple of days after I had this thing cut open, and shoved in me, and it was a year, I can pour the whole shit, so when I found out I wasn't dying, somebody's going to, I swear to God, somebody's going to die, I found out that they were going to change my doctors, they were going to fire him, and it took a week and a half, for them to cut this out of me, you sat there with that? I sat with it for over a month, the hospital that put it in wouldn't take it out of me, what the fuck? Because my doctor had falsified my records, they didn't trust any records coming from when? They didn't want to be involved? They did not want that liability, wow, that's horrible, what's worse is when when took it out, I felt the whole fucking thing, the surgeon did not listen, when I said I could feel it, and I felt the whole fucking thing, I just wanted it out of me, and I didn't want to wait any longer for more anesthesia, she said to sit there, screamed, and I cried the whole fucking time, and I said just take it out, so yeah, that was my low point, holy shit, but that bit just fired now? Yeah, he's fired, disrespectfully fuck him, I have a new doctor, and I think you're spending the time, I don't have to go to the hospital for appointments, because I have this little exemption thing, no shit, I wouldn't fucking say so, because the next time I went into the hospital, I have full wound panic attack, oh it's bad, there's no waiting if you want to be seen or seen immediately, I have to wait a week for appointment, all I have to do is call and ask for referrals, like I had a fantastic dermatology referral, I get referrals, just try. I can talk, that's you. How about you? Damn, did you ever like, did you ever think to do like malpractice? It's extremely fucking hard to, yeah, extremely, and the downside too about being a military spouse, is you can't have the soldiers name in it whatsoever, because one of the downsides about them signing their military contract, they're not allowed to sue, they're not allowed to be involved in a lawsuit, because it completely voids your military contract, including any benefits, any bonuses, anything that they've ever gotten, voids and repayment. It's like they know, it's like they make- So I couldn't pull him in as a witness, I couldn't pull him in as anything, even for the appointments that he was there for me, that's the- Naturally, that's who you bring with you, so it's like you don't normally bring a friend or another relative, you bring your spouse with you to those appointments, they fucking know what they're doing, I'll tell you what. He couldn't be implicated or brought in at all for it, and it just, it would not have been worth it. Mm-mm, talked to two different lawyers. Christ. But I was satisfied enough that one, I have to take an out, two, it didn't cause any permanent damage, fuck, I got enough psychological damage, you just fuck it. One to get through it. It's a little more, but- What's this? No, they're sprinkle, but- Yeah, I'm shit, but trauma. I'm not dying. Yeah. And two, I get treated the way I deserve now. Hell yeah, everyone should be treated that way too, not because of what happened. You got a fucking boot. Hell yeah, and honestly, like I know everyone else can see it, but your scar is like badass, like- No, I'm covered in fucking stars. That's insane to me. I mean, Joey still, please don't know what me- [laughing] Hell yeah, JoJo. [laughing] But then, yeah, look, I'm talking about- [laughing] Oh, fuck. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, one of the few couples that can say that. Yep. According to these- According to these, Bob. According to these, Bob. What are we doing? Let's say we got- [laughing] Nobody's screen-shining his Tinder or Hinch-H-H-H-H-H-No, was it correct? Bumble! Bob, there's a Bumble- There's an H1 too, there's a Brinder. That's for guys in the bullet. That's a Brinder, right? That's the one. Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, that's the one. There's an H1 though, I thought, maybe it's Bumble and I'm trying to call it Humble. Hinge, that's real. That they have commercials. I'm still from the plenty of fish here. Same. That's- Yeah, maybe. That's the one. So, I had plenty of fish- Can you harm me? [laughing] Shannon and I both had plenty of fish, but that's not how we met each other. But then we found each other. I found plenty of fish before jelly. Yeah, it was free. I got- I got a couple of days from plenty of fish. One I had a couple of free dinners. Yeah, see, I got a Humble-free dinner one, and then I had to pay for the dinner myself with one of them. Oh, that is sad to go pee. It never came back, he drove me. That's just fun. You never gave me a car. That was the last time. Me. I'm way more dangerous than these men trust that, especially in my 20s. What are the other killers being in a car? I think I've made that joke to people before, too. Like, I'm a scary individual, like, in general, like, ask people that I used to be friends with. I'm very scary. I made it to an old guy. Ted. Sugar daddy. No, no, not like that. Oh, no, I was living in Jeffersonville. It's kind of like the red-headed stepchild to Louisville, Kentucky. He was walking along the sidewalk, and he was hitchhiking, but he was a really old dude, and he was dressed really nice. And I'm like, "Oh, I feel bad for this guy," because he was like hobbling. Yeah. And I always- I always carried a piece in the car. It was- it was right it started. All right. Was it? We're legit. Too legit. Too legit. Too quick. And he got in the car, and as we're driving, he says, "You know, you really should be careful, young lady about picking up people and giving them rides." I said, "Well, it just, you know, it's raining." And it was in the daytime, too. I mean, it sounded like some stereotypical, "Ooh, right, middle of the night, middle of nowhere." I said, "Well, it's raining, sir." And, you know, I respect my elders, and you're not too far away from me. And I said, "Missides, what are the odds of two serial killers being in the same car?" And he just kind of stares at me. He chewed over. And he kind of took me seriously. I said, "Oh, sir, I'm just joking." And he goes, "Well, how do you know I'm not armed?" And I literally lifted it, and I always kept it in between the door and myself. I never kept it in the middle. And I literally, I lifted up just a slight bit of my handle. I said, "Well, if you are, that's okay, I am, too." And that's whenever he got real antsy. I'm like, "I need to get this guy out of my car." And I'm not feeling too good about it. Yeah, huh. I bet he talks about, I bet he talked about it. He probably did know. Oh, he's probably dead. He probably talked about you. It was like almost 20 years ago. He probably talked about you, like, on the deathbed. Like, "Oh, I wish I would have, I wish I would have got her name." All right, he's probably saying, "Ah, it's the one that got away." I'm like, "Don't I probably got it?" That dark humor again. Keeping us young. Keeping us young. I swear to God, like, I would never, like, I wouldn't know what to do, like, if I, like, I mean, I'd be fine, like, if I love Shannon. Obviously, I love my husband. But, like, if we, like, ever, like, got separated or whatever, like, emotionally, like, I'm a strong bitch, like, I would be fine. But, like, I would never survive the fucking dating world ever. It is assholes. They are their assholes. And I'm, so am I, like, respectfully, like, would I survive? Would they survive? Like, I don't know. Restaurants are expensive. Everyone's 20 years old, too. Like, they just claimed they're 20 years old. And then you see them in, like, 75. Yeah. Did you see the recent, like, do you see the guy's TikTok? I just saw it, like, yesterday, the other day before on my four-year page, and now I'm invested. Like, that's what happens, is I see these fucking things, and I can invest in them. And I, he met this lady. He was military. Aren't me. I believe he was active duty army. Don't know where he was stationed. But he, like, saw this girl on a Mormon dating website. I'm just thinking of the gooey special. Right. Exactly. Which, I gotta watch that. I'm going to watch that. We're almost only peeing blinders. I'm going to watch that. He met her or saw her match with her. I don't know how the fuck it works on this Mormon dating site. And he sent her a message, and she had, like, advertised it. Like, she does, like, beautician stuff, because everyone fucking does these days. And she was advertising, like, I can, whiten your teeth. Like, I can do this. I can do that. And she was, like, hey, if you ever, you know, need, like, uh, something to fill in. Like, I don't mind, you know, if you want me to come get my teeth whitened, like, you can let me know on a later date. Like, I don't mind paying for it, blah, blah. And if we hit it off, like, can you think I'm attractive? Maybe I can take you out. I think you're beautiful. You know, and if you feel the same way, super nice, super respectful, he showed the text messages. So, like, he showed his receipts. The receipts were kept. And he was like, you know, let me know. Like, I can work that out. And I guess, like, um, he also said, like, in her, like, profile, her phone number was in one of the pictures. Um, and he was like, I don't know if you know this, but your phone number is in one of your photos on your profile. And like, I don't know if that was intentional or what, but that's little, like, that's super private for someone to give out. So I just wanted to know, I guess she didn't know. She was like, Oh my God, thank you so much. Like, I didn't know. Um, because he texted her and was like, Hey, this is your phone numbers on this profile. Like, just so you were aware. That's how I have it. Like, blah, blah, whatever. And it's a good way to find out if she's legit. Exactly. Like not some kind of fucking, you know, weirdo. And not like stealing pictures off of Google. Right. Catfish. Good old cat. I love me a catfish. I think I'm gonna love it. And so he, I guess he responded and she was like, Hey, I'm really struggling to pay my rent right now. I'm like $3,000. So I would love like that was her response. I would love to see you to whiten your teeth. This is how much it's going to cost because I'm struggling to pay my rent. For me, when the comments were like, that was a red flag, bro. Like immediate red flag. Like, who talks about that? And so I guess he like worked out with her. He was going to show up at like a certain time. Because it was like the same day that she was like, Hey, do you want to um, get your teeth whitened? And he was like, yeah, she's like, it's like 150 bucks. Whiten your teeth was something, I guess. Same thing. Fight that dragon, baby. But he, I guess like he told her he was like, Okay, that's fine. And he was like, what time? And she told him like between this time and this time and he was like, all right, well, I'm just getting out of work. So I'll probably be there in like 20 minutes, whatever. And he was like, or 30 minutes. And he was like, it took me one minute longer than what I told her it was going to be like 20 minutes. It took me 21 30 to be 31, whatever. And he was like reading the messages like verbatim on like on the phone. Like you could see him reading him showing them to the camera. And he was like, I showed up, I couldn't find anywhere to park. I called her and she kind of gave me an attitude about it. And so I figured it out parked. I went in to meet her and she just met me with like this nasty fucking attitude. And he was like, she's beautiful, but she was so rude to me. And I immediately felt like something wasn't, it wasn't right. So I was like, you know, never mind. Yeah, he was like, never mind like this doesn't feel right. Like, I'm just gonna go. And she was like, fuck you, I have a cancellation fee. This is so much a cost. You better fucking pay me like literally followed him out to his car recording him. He's in full uniform, like full uniform. And she's like recording him as he's getting in his car, stopping him from opening her from closing his fucking door. And I'm like, well, at least she got content out of it. These bitches and these, these folks is crazy out here. Like, who do you think you are being entitled to anyone's anything? And you ever even met this person until three seconds ago, I couldn't, I would just die alone with like, cobwebs in my vagina. That'll be it for me. There's full websites out there. Four bitches like that. It's sugar daddy.com. Literally, she's probably on them. And you can get a platinum membership. You want to know? Oh, I used to manage an office. Oh, God. So the best part is I didn't know that that's specifically what this office was for when I took the job. So when I took the job, it was a spa. I wasn't stupid. Okay, I wasn't stupid. I was on Craigslist. I looked up the business. Yeah. Was legit. I go, I'm hired as a front desk receptionist, an office manager. Okay. Hell yeah. Looked at the books. I have a counting experience. Looked at the books. The books seemed legit. Then again, it was also before like everybody was on QuickBooks. Right. So it was still, you know, Wild West days, everything was on paper and shit. I met the office staff or the staff and everything. I met the masseuse des, masseuse, masseuse. I don't know what the world that would be. But anyways, I met the fucking bitches. And I met the owner and everything. The place was still kind of like half under construction. So that wasn't like a big red flag or anything like that. But I met, you know, they had regular office hours during the daytime and stuff. So that was like, it wasn't open outline. It wasn't any big red flags. Right. So it's like, all right, you know, this seems decent had regular pay. Was it extravagant pay or anything? I wasn't asked to keep anything hush, hush and stuff. It looked normal. Nothing stood out. So I had been there for a couple of weeks. And then all of a sudden, I'm going through the rooms and I'm helping out some. And I noticed in one of the trash cans, the condom. Oh, I'm being named. I think I know what kind of massage that is. I'm like, what do I do? What do we do for you? I'm in this situation. That's so good. I'm going to know the people and everything. You're like, Oh, do I tell somebody? I don't tell somebody. I'm not telling anybody. I know. Yeah. This is like, we're borderline ethics here. Yeah. Okay. So then it's a, you know, a couple of other rooms. I'm like, starting to notice like some flavored oil. So now you're being real attention now. Now that one thing has happened, my mind is like, okay, I got a look at it. Yeah. That's my brain, too. So then I speak to them. I'm like, which we got to talk? Yeah, because I have a feeling that I don't want to look for another job. But I'm not paid enough. Yeah. So then I started making more money. I have a very, I have a very good skill. Like whenever I bartended at the Gentleman's Club, I got paid quite a bit of money and never took my clothes off. I got paid quite a bit of money here and I never had to do anything. So I have a, I have a very particular set of skin holes. Like fucking Liam Neeson. I will find you. I will kill you. A couple of the girls even like whenever you say catfish. Uh-huh. I was, I was a nice little piece back then. I was pretty. You're so pretty. But a couple of the girls got in trouble because they actually used my image. No, to bring them in. Yeah. So it was like the dudes are like, well, I'm already here. So fuck it. I hope they made you like double for that. I got like a part of their cut or something. Clash the flesh. Oh my god. Yeah. That was, that was fun. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like looking back, I honestly feel like I put myself in so many fucking scary situations that I don't know how I'm alive. I don't, I don't know how I haven't been attacked. I don't know how I'm alive. I don't know how I haven't killed some city yet. I'll be honest with you. At night. Seriously, like there's a really bad part of town. So I grew up in Orlando in Florida. And there's like a bad part of town. It's called OBT. It's Orange, Blossom, Freila. And if you're from Florida, at least that area, you know OBT. That's where the hookers go. That is everything. Sound like an STD. Everything. Everything. And that side of town, like you didn't really want to go to the store there after a certain time of day, food, any kind of anything. You did not want to do it. And there was too many times. Like, I'll be hanging out with my friends. And like, there was like good bars down there, you know, and like pulse that I was attacked. Like if you like a decade or so was like shot, like there was a shooting there. And like, there was a lot of stuff. And like, the whole area is just like shady as well. And I was there all week, all the time, all the time. And I'm like, how, how am I here? Because I put myself in some sketch situations. And now I'm like, I don't want to leave the house. You're like, do you want to go to that meeting? I'm like, nah, I'm going to pay my cable. I'm 80 years old on the inside, bro. On the inside of 80. 30 days in a fucking women's prison. Yeah. Like, I'm good. You do that. It's going to scare you. You see the bit. It is called get pulled on. You're like, shoot. They're like, I'm just going to keep on playing cards. And the thing is like, I like half of me is like an 85 year old woman, like from the golden girls, like half of me is that the other half of me is still like the 18 19 20 year old. That is like, I'll mouth off to you. I will throw hands like, I don't care about repercussions. But then the 85 year old me is like, we're having half. I'm like, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hider, whatever the fuck they are. And, but I'm like, how did I, how did I make it through some of those situations? Like, I can't, like today, like now somebody was letting you in and go out past nine o'clock. And I'm like, when do things started now? But back then, I was getting ready at nine o'clock. Yeah. We weren't going out till 11. Well, fuck was I? Well, I just made that TikTok the other day, where I was listening to that tech nine song. It's one of my favorite tech nine songs. And all I can think was I used to pray to this fucking song. And I have the bubbly and my fucking wine because the wine hits too hard. Yep. Yeah. You gave me that stuffy drink. And I was like, am I going to be hungover for three to five days now? Like, is that how it is with the business days? Like, this is a Wednesday. I got to be like on my game because Shannon freaking hold like a nerve or like pinched a nerve or something in his neck. So he's like this walking around my fucking house. I'm like, that doesn't help me during PCS season, bitch. What are you doing? Because he slipped wrong. And that doesn't call you 40. What does we get into bar fights and we'd be just fine the next day. And now we just pinched a nerve and now we're down for 40. Done. He tried to go to the doctor today. Can't go today. He's going in tomorrow. And he's like, he's got two days left of work before like he's out, like out processed. And he's like, he's like, this side. I think he's like, I don't know how to make it. That's so much stuff for my ankle. Like, I'm so much stuff. I have like arthritis, chilling at all the shit. I'm like, just go on my cabinet. Get some shit out. Just stay away from the prescription models. And I need you in trouble. That's the worst part. Like what you said is that sometimes people will piss you off so damn much. And your mindset is, I'm 19 years old. I'll beat the shit out of you. 100%. But your body won't catch up because as soon as you go to throw up, like, I even box, that's what I do work out. That's my cardio out. I box like a motherfucker. Yeah. But afterwards, my hands, they will hurt for like three people. Yeah. I'm like, my head is rocking, man. I'm feeding the living story. And afterwards, I'm sticking my hand in the whole fucking ice thing. Yeah. Like, if I had to get down, I could get down. But like, it's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt real bad. I creak going up the stairs. It creak. I thought it was the stairs. It's my knee, dude. Oh, yeah. I'm like, that's never made that sound before. That's, that's what it is, huh? Yeah. They're fucking WD-40 on my bones. Like, I can't, I just, I don't even know where I am, but I can't, I can't just keep it up. I can't, like, I can't stay up too late because my whole next day is ruined. Like Maverick, I was talking about bedtimes. I was like, if he doesn't go to bed at this certain time, he's in that era of baby where he doesn't go bed at this time. And I have to wake him up the next morning. We're all fucked. That's me. If I go to bed after a certain time, I'm fucked. I had to take my meds at a certain time. I got my meds all three times a day. Yeah. My meds, they are timed out. And if I do not take my nighttime meds at a certain time, I'm not even going to sleep. I could be so fucking tired, but I won't go to sleep. Yeah. I still have to take nerve pain meds for my ankle. And if I don't take them at a certain time, it takes me, like, it takes like a while for it to kick in. And if I take it too late, I'm up too late. And then the next morning is like, atrocious, but I used to literally go out. I worked all day, I would go out. And then I would go home in the wee hours of the morning, get like an hour to sleep and then go fucking do it again. Good listening to that makes me tired. Function. If I, all I had to do, if I got a maximum of four hours of sleep, I was golden the next day. Four hours of sleep was an hour. Like amazing. I lived off of it. But if I got a minimum of a couple hours, yeah, if I shut my eyes and then woke up a period of time later, I was good. Like Shannon and I used to live 45 minutes from each other. So I would work all day, you know, being in the military, he got off a certain times and he made me drive to him. That's fine. Because I made him work for getting me on a date. I would drive work 45 minutes. Still does. I was going to go. I drove 45 minutes from my house or from my job to his house, sat in fucking Saint Pete Tampa traffic, which is horrible. And then it was before we were like, you know, serious or anything like that. So he was like, I got to go to bed at like, Sharon, the clock, eight o'clock, and kind of to get up before I am. He's like, I got to get up because I do, I work out before I do PT. That was him as a person. Woke up at four to work out before he really did though, because once I started staying the night, I know he would get up at four. I am and he would leave me and go work out. And then he would come back, get ready, and then go to PT 100% he wouldn't. He did. Now he's like, oh, my alarm is going up. I'll make it with three minutes to spare to me. Eight changes of motherfucker. He's done. The way he still passes those eight years, bro. It's a change of my joy for the second we got. One of, I still have it. I still have the first selfie that Joey ever sent me. And it was of him with a fucking fedora in his bathroom mirror. All fucking pumped up. Oh, my God. The first selfie he ever sent me. Just all beefed up with the Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's still them this day, just constant. So now with Hello Kitty pajamas. And now with Hello Kitty pajamas, and Godzilla moves just constantly. I picked this up and put it down. Now we're gone. He picked up that whole top half. Hell yeah. The fucking hutch. He just wrapped his fucking arms around that just lifted up the whole fucking thing. The body swallowed up like he was going to fucking split his arms. Hell yeah. I'm just sitting there looking at him like, that's my man. You fucking tapping that shit tonight? Yes, my man. He starts sweating a little. Yeah, they just been like. Hell yeah. He's a daily fucking match. Hell yeah. But then he'll have his days where he's like, he walk in and he's just sitting on the couch of the fucking beer in his hand and a whole fucking bowl of Oreos and a tall glass of milk in the other hand. Yeah. Shannon, I love that. That's that's right there. Hell yeah. Shannon, like he's been in great shape, like since we met him. He doesn't have to have the the six pack or the whatever, which I don't like anyway, like I like a den mod just like a little bit of a den mod. You know, and you know, but he had like very nice abs and like he was built and like he still is like, I'm like, Hell yeah, brother 40 years old like killing it, man. You're killing it. And like I have that hutch that I sent you the picture of that I painted. That's two pieces. He drove it to me and I picked that bitch up by himself. Fuck yeah. And fucking move that shit. Two pieces, they took it apart for him. He fucking lived in that shit. He put it in there. He I'm sending him all over the motherfuckers picking shit up for me. And he's like, I got it. Pick it up. And I'm like, that's why we got all these kids. Fuck out. Yeah, it's more. I'm like, you're crazy. You're out of your fucking mind. I'll snip you myself. Calm the fuck down. Calm the fuck down. But pick that shit up. Probably. I could probably buy the tools on Amazon. You can find anything I was on. I got a bunch of tools. I got a bunch of medical tools. Hell yeah. I got meds. We could figure this out. We could figure this out. We'll go on that dad YouTube. Ask him if he can make a video for a vasectomy. I'm sure he's got it. I'm sure he watched his own. And if anybody listening knows how to do. Give us the instructions. I mean, why not? No time like the present. We're in a new skill. Maybe we make a TikTok out of it. Oh, yeah. We can make it our stuff. Did you do that to be picked? And home to sex abuse. Hell yeah. You're home. Our home. The car. Whatever. Fine. Fine. We're friends of space. We'll get a kidnapping van. And fine. We'll figure it out. If they can do it, like they can harvest organs in other countries. We can figure this shit out. You know what I'm saying? I'll just watch it. Yeah. The hooker can take out a kitty. We can sip some. I feel like if you're like motivated enough, you could do anything. So manifest that shit. You limit your own possibilities. I'm saying today. You know the best people. The best people with the greatest manifestations crack heads. They really do be spewing some manifestations. They who if we manifest shit like fucking crack heads, my friends, they told me that one day and it just makes sense. They're always talking. They fucking wake up every day and they have one fucking go. I'm gonna go out today. Yeah. I'm gonna give me some motherfucking crack. And some money. And what do they do? They get out every fucking day. They get ourselves some motherfucking crack. They get in the money. They get in the craft. They get in whatever they get in these burgers. I don't know. I think about like what the fuck is happening? The straight out of comp, not straight out of Compton, but that I said go to a pan because he wants something. Oh, I know what we're talking about. I know what we were talking about. I can't think of the name of it, but I know what you're talking about. All of them. Every fucking movie. And I'm just thinking of it. When it gets serious, you have to Google. Don't be a menace to society. Yes. The menace to society. And then don't be a menace to society while selling your something. Shit. Don't think I ever saw this. Don't be a menace to south. Don't be a menace to south central. Why drink drinking you juice in the hood. Period. That period was a combination of menace to society and boys in the hood. Hell yeah. That's what it was. It all just came to me. I know what we were talking about, but I'm not going to say the same. So I have to Google everything. I mean, that's valid though. They wake up. They had to get the money or the cheeseburgers, or the chapstick. And they all do it to get the fucking crack. Honestly, though, it makes it ever since you've shown me the crack stuff that you got from my tunnels. All I can think about is cheeseburgers. I literally like, I'm like, can I convince Shannon to go like a little hack to work? Can I get a go? Tomorrow and say motherfucker today, I'm going to go get some crack. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Nugs. Nugs. Nugs. Nugs. Nugs. Nugs to get some crocs. Yeah. Oh, not crack. So you told me your lowest, your worst, what's your best thing? That was your other thing. Getting. Wait, no, not getting cold. Oh, that's going to be going to be okay. Cool. Okay. Do tell. I guess getting COVID. It was the longest time ever I've spent a bit. Hell yeah. Unbothered. But no, COVID. So, so Joey had a good job when we joined the military. Yeah, I'm saying it. Again, I'll do you. Yeah. But during COVID, back in our hometown, everybody was getting laid off. Everybody was losing their jobs. Of course, I wasn't there at my point. Sorry, y'all. But sorry. Not sorry. Where he worked. It was one of the most like coveted jobs as well as like Ford and all those other ones. Like people would have sold their left titty to get a job at one of these places. But during COVID, all these soldiers still had their job. We all were still getting paid. We were all still getting our health insurance. We were all still going to the doctor. Some of us better ones than others, but off post for sure. We also had our benefits. And that was one of the many moments where even as I was sitting in this fucking house with three kids trying to fucking navigate online learning, it was one of those high points where even though he was gone, he was overseas, and it was tough as shit. And it was driving me nuts every fucking day. I really had that clarification and that coming to Jesus moment, watching all this shit happen on the news, watching all this shit happen all over the world, where I really took that moment and I sat back and I thanked God of he has a paycheck. This job is security. And I'm very, very thankful that no matter what happens in this world, even though it's been what three or four fucking government shutdowns, since he's been in the military, they've only lasted a short period and even then he got back. Hey, yeah. No matter what, the military is a guaranteed job. Guarantee paycheck guarantees safety net for sure. And COVID 2020 was one of those points where it really made us appreciate the choice that he made. Yeah. Even more. Yeah. I see that. So that was the high point. Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. That was the the thankfulness. That was the appreciation. That was the blessing from God that just kind of really put us in check. Yeah. And made everything that he goes through and what we go through really show itself more to us. A little easier to swallow. All the other things. Yeah. No, I make that makes sense to me. And I feel like that's one of those things that if you are not a military spouse, that doesn't make sense to you. Like I, of course, guaranteed income and like the promise of that makes sense to everyone. But like to live that, it's different than to just hear someone talk about it. So I feel like that's one of those things where like not being a military spouse, someone would look at you and be like, really, COVID was your high point. And it's something more that for anyone who's out there who is listening and who is a military spouse and who is a soldier, it's something that he tells because he's had several soldiers who are young, who have come up to him and said, I can't wait to get out of the military. I can't wait to stop doing this shit. I just had a baby and I don't want to do this anymore. And others who have asked him, should I stay in the military? Should I stop doing this? And that's always been his advice is do it as long as you can. Yeah. Because we've had all the kids, we've had marriage for years, we've had the civilian jobs, he's been laid off, I've been laid off, we've both been unemployed, we've had all of that outside of the military. And for now things to be so bad to have the whole country experience a pandemic like that in our time and to have inflation the way it is and shit like that for anyone from then on to be in the military and to have the opportunity. Yeah, it's a fucking bitch most of the time, but there's always that positive of having security. Those high points are really like the high points like that's you can't just what people are going to do in this world. Like if you think about like what your what the bring home pay is like after BH for example, you know, even with BH like that would not you would survive. I could say the bonus. I could say, you know, a marriage retreat, I could say, you know, being able to go on a vacation, I could say there's a million different things that have happened that have been positive to us since he's joined the military. There's a million different things that have been a negative since he joined the military. But of all things for me to pick out that being the number one and it being 100% honest. Yeah, that that is my high point. Yeah, I mean, I went get it. I would hope that people out there would take their position in the military and their life in the military a little bit more seriously and appreciate it a lot more. I have more respect for it. Yeah, I mean, there's shitty parts to all of it, but there's shitty parts to any job. If you think about it, whether it's a job, just a pass by like fly by seat or pants job, a career, whatever have you, there's always negatives to it. But I don't feel like those are like they're so different. But every job that you have is going to be negative. So they're have negatives to it. So it's normal that this job is no different. Like, there's so many positives in that security is the biggest one. And I don't think any other career can touch that. Yeah, I don't care if you own your own business. I don't care if you've been in that job for 35 years. Like, it doesn't matter. There's no security like the military. I mean, even look at the, obviously, we still have police officers, but look at the whole spic that went on about the defund police. I mean, even police, they're hanging on the ballots. Yeah. I mean, military is always, they're always going to be around. They're always going to be needed. Like, they're, it's always going to be a thing. You're always going to need bartenders, hookers, a military, a guarantee to bartend their own strippers that become obsolete by hookers, hookers, yeah, you're always going to need police or you're always going to need pussy. Pussy defense and alcohol. Yep. Three things that make the world go around. They even try prohibition, man. And they brought back the drinking. Yeah, they tried it. Obviously, alcohol is still going to be around. I'm going anywhere. And you can buy drugs from the pussy. So you can't say drugs. Yeah. Sorry. I'm not sorry. So what are your, what are your highs and lows? So my high, my high, I'll start with my high. My high, I feel like she's so Shannon went through. I wouldn't have said this a few years ago, but I will say this today. And it's, it's literally just the fact that Shannon was able to get back into the military. Like for me, that was a high for our family because he was prior Air Force and he was involuntarily separated. And we had just had a baby. And we had no idea what the fuck we were going to do. I had a job, I had a career at a job. Like I was like, I knew what I was doing. But he had never like, except for like in high school, he had never been a civilian. He didn't know how to be one, you know, and it was really tough. Like we went through a lot of financial issues. Like we foreclosed on a house. Like we, you know, didn't know where our next paychecks, like if they were gonna cover our bills, like we had to rely a lot on family. And that takes a toll after a while, you know, and I think he just, he suffered like mentally, he suffered emotionally, he suffered like just not be able to provide for his family in the same way. And like that took a toll on our marriage for a while as well, where I was like, this might not be, it might not last, you know, and it was a conversation that almost like came to fruition between the two of us. And, you know, financial struggles are one of the biggest things that can make something or break something, you know, and he was used to doing something a certain way for so long. And then you stop doing it and especially whenever you're younger, because we weren't, we're old, but we're not old. Yeah, we're not a typical retirement age. Right. So, you know, he also was used to providing for his family, like outside of like the regular luxuries of like things that we could do, like he spent much money on his jeep and like, you know, we went out to dinners and vacations and blah, blah, you know, and then we had a baby and we could do whatever we wanted with her. And, you know, it was never an issue until it was. And it was not about not having the money that made the issue. It was like the stress that came with, how are we going to survive, you know, and it's funny because I made friends with a lady on Facebook, which is anti my personality in every way possible, but she ended up being a daycare provider for our kids and in home daycare and her husband was a recruiter for the army. And one day Shannon went to pick the kids up and he had been, like, she knew that Shannon was prior military, but like a spouse, she didn't really think much of it. You was like, Hey, bring me your DD 214. Let me take a look at it. See what I can do. You know, there was a different president at the time that he got let go from that position. There was a different president at the time that we were like, Hey, look at my paperwork and see where we can go from here. He did some research and found out that because of that shift, I'm not a political person, but that shift changed like the allowances for military and just changed a bunch of things. And he was able to rejoin. Like when he first got out and he tried to figure out could he go to another branch, he was either cut off by his age or cut off by his years served. And the only branch he could have joined was the army, but it was reserves. No benefits, hardly any pay, but you still had to go through a lot of the same, the same, the basic in the AIT and be gone for X amount of time, but there was no perks to it. And he was like, I'm not doing that. So that's what you went to college. So he had this recruiter look at his paperwork and, you know, because he was a friend of ours, he was like, here are all these different things and these are all your options. And let's get you in. Let's talk about it. That's what you're interested in. Sure as fuck. Like it all worked out and, you know, it sucks, you know, when it sucks because you go from like, expecting the unexpected when you are military, like, there's no nine to five, there's no like, you know, it's, it's all the time, even on the weekends, like you have to be prepared to answer your phone and you have to be prepared. You know, he went from, you know, being used to that to a few years of not being used to that, a nine to five, he was used to a schedule, he was used to this, he was used to off time, you know, regular paycheck, blah, blah. So like, getting back and like being accustomed to that was a little difficult, but he was like, it's the best, like, it's the best thing. Like sometimes it's rough, but he's like, it's the greatest thing that has ever happened to our family. He's still after reflect on the pros and cons and the, okay, well, it's out of this or that. Yeah. And I mean, unless he went to school to become a fucking doctor or something, there was no, there was never the thought that I was ever going to be like a stay at home mom. And it's not that it was ever a goal for me to do that because I've never pictured myself as a stay at home mom. None of us have. Yeah. I never wanted it. I never pictured it. Like, you know, I went in between like jobs here and there where like I had like a couple weeks here and there and I got to spend it with the kids and I was like, go, you know, it gets to be overwhelming at a certain point. And I love them to death. I would do anything for them. But at some point, I'm like, I can only answer so many fucking questions in a day. I can only entertain for so many parts of the day, you know what I mean? It's temporary. Yeah. Yes. At some point, like, I, you know, when he retires, I'll go back. Like, you know, that's, that's the thing. It's going to be a trade off in a few years and, you know, we'll see between now and then, you know, but I'm, I don't think, especially in today's like climate of economy, like, I don't think that I would be able to do it. Like, I know I wouldn't be able to do it because even when I was working, like, and he was working, we were barely making ends and we were paying thousands and thousands of dollars for daycare. And like, it was insane. And we've had to make some cuts. Like, we only have one vehicle now. And, you know, we've made budget cuts where it's necessary, but it's, it's nothing that's like, it's not, I'm not giving up important things like a second vehicle or whatever, you know, because what I'm doing right now is so important to me. And I don't feel like it'd be possible if it wasn't for the military. And I think like his mental health and stuff would really still be struggling horribly if it wasn't. So that's my high is the fact that he was able to rejoin the military is my high point of the military and us being able to, you know, I'm not saying we go out and buy whatever the fuck we want, whatever the fuck we want to, but we, we live comfortably enough with making cuts here and there are we need to. But, you know, it's because of the military that we can do things that we do. And compared with what you said earlier, you guys are in a stable point. And that makes you both comfortable and that makes you both happy. And that keeps you guys from even thinking of that breaking point. And it's not in your minds. And that's what is the most important for you guys, for your kids, your whole family. Yeah, it's improved all of that. Like all the things like that. Can't look past it kind of stress. It's just normal stress. Like, you know, when T-Mobile tells me I'm not going to have to pay, you know, whatever for this upgraded phone, but then they track, they tack on a $200 bill and we got to navigate through that. That's a little stressful, but you know, at the end of the day, like, partner stress. Exactly. It's not, you know, it's not, we're not going at each other. We're going at the problem together. And, you know, so I'm not saying it fixed like all the issues, but like, you know, at the end of the day, like, we worked through them. And I think like this, the security side of it helped make things, you know. I mean, if you wanted to go be a doctor, I wouldn't be fucking mad. I don't do your own because I can be a bitch. That's my high. That's my high. We can't go to his own. We've got to take it. We've got to take it. We have to win now for like, for women pat notes. Once I can find out how to order core form, you just look at him. It's a dark web. Figure that I would get to get a burner phone. So Milo is my son's phone. He's young. Wait, no, I can't. That's one of my neighbors. We'll go steal a phone. We'll go Jack one. We'll go get one from one of these spouses. You won't notice. There you go. My low, my worst, my low is my ankle surgeries. That was my first broken bone. My first major surgery outside of like two months prior having a C section. How did you hurt it? I slipped on the stairs at our house. I think I had originally injured it when I was pregnant with Maverick. Like stepping off of our front porch step because you don't have a step. But we have like a step on our front porch. You've been there. You've seen it. And I just stepped down one morning and I knew I have ankle injuries from when I was younger. I played soccer for like 10 years. So I've sprained, strained, fractured. So you could be a volunteer coach. My god, I really good. My son is looking for soft. Move with me. Just come with me. It ends in October. I mean, I could mean I could. I wasn't very good at it. I didn't listen to my coach. So maybe I would be up there. Sorry. So I feel like I had it coming to be honest with you. But I stepped down wrong and I know I hurt the ankle because it swelled up. I couldn't put pressure on it for a little while. But I never like went more in depth because like the next morning it was fine. So I think I had like re-injured it. But I slipped on our stairs at the very top of our stairs. And I just felt it crack. And I went down like a couple of the steps to like the we have like so it's it's like a big flight. And then there's like a middle area. And then there's another big flight. And then you're at the top. And I was at the top. And so I went down like a couple to like the middle area. And I told Shannon immediately. I was like, it's broken. I have a moo moo on. It was a Sunday morning. It was literally the day two days after that fun event that they all went to in St. Pete. And I had to I had to go. I was forced to go. And two days after that snapped that bitch in half into into places. My tibia and my fibula tibia and fibula. Yeah, those are right snapped both of them. And it was a it was called tibia and fibula break above syndemosis. So it's a mouthful. Yeah. So where your ankle bone is. That's why I found my sexy compression socks that I wear all the time. I have them in all different colors. So black and gray. I definitely have purple too. Yeah. So the bone going up was broken. And then the bone connecting to that bone broke. And once if you got beat. Yeah, no, I'm being around. He's too scared to me. I'll be honest with you. And it's funny because I made that joke in a real space inappropriately at the ER. I was like, I'm like, um, they're like, what happened? I was like, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I tried to push him. And that's how I felt. They didn't think it was as funny as I thought. It was an inappropriate joke about cocaine and my nutritionist office. And so now I have an eating disorder. We have a big like red mark in the fucking car. You're like, I lied and you're in red ink. Oh, she's coming in today. So I broke the ankle. They splint it. Put a splint on it for me while I was in the ER. That was my first experience at when was the emergency room. And I'm very impressed by the emergency room compared to the emergency room experience that I had at Memorial in Savannah. So the emergency room was fine. I had never been to a military hospital before specifically this one or any other one. I was very impressed by it. And the doctor was like, all right, it's definitely broken. Here it is. You can see it. And he was like, I'm going to splint it. And then tomorrow you're going to come and see the orthopedic surgeon. So I did exactly that. I will tell you. Which one did you have? Drayer. Drayer was my orthopedic surgeon. He's not the tall blonde one. No, he's kind of tall, but he has, I mean, his head shaved. Do he was the just in case the husband is listening to this in the future. He's the medium hype brown haired one who did my knee surgery. And then there's the one that my son had when he slipped on milk and broke his wrist. He's the tall skinny blonde one. Not at all attractive one one. My or the bass surgeon was attractive, but now I feel like if I saw him in the street, like I probably it'd be on site. Okay, it'd be on site if I saw mine. Like a legit, you don't care. Definitely. Okay, definitely. I got you. I got you. He's got any more problems with my knee too. You got it. Definitely. I'll definitely call you. I'll definitely call you. So if I need a bride or somebody with me, let's go. All right, let's pull up. Yeah, mine is making lines and feeling weird too. We should both, we should double up on that. I went in the next morning. Have you been to the ER entrance at when the cobblestones? Yeah. Have you ever tried to take on cobblestones with crutches? No. Oh, so I did and I lost the cobblestones one. I ate shit outside one day after breaking my ankle. One day, I ate shit on the up at the outside. Yeah. Anyway, yeah. So I had surgery that Wednesday. So Sunday break Wednesday surgery. He very clearly explained everything to me. What was going to happen, blah, blah, cool, cool, got it. One of the girls I used to work with, love her to death. She took me to my surgery because the kids were in school and she was home with the baby and I don't want the baby at the hospital all day. Surgery for my knowledge went great. I was a little weirded out that I went home with no boot of any kind or anything like that. I wasn't even casted. I wasn't casted. I was wrapped. Just wrapped. Like fucking ace bandage wraps and no cast, no boot at all. Damn, saying that a cast in the fucking ER. Right. I had a splint, but after my surgery, I didn't have that anymore. I literally had gauze and I had like an ace bandage fucking wrap on it. And I was given the instructions and I had to unwrap and remove the gauze myself. I heard the instructions given to me. I couldn't get it wet, blah, blah, all the things, whatever. When I went to unwrap it and take the gauze off, I have like, my ankles all scarred up. You have to show you. Wow. I haven't seen it. There's like an incision like on the inside here and part of the gauze. I mean, it was all obviously was wrapped around the wounds. It like got in the wounds and I would try to like pull it because I had to follow the instructions. I think it was like five days after I took it off. I didn't get infected, but like it was just gnarly. Like it looks like necrotic, like tissue after a sermon. It was like black and like I pulled the gauze off and some of that stayed in there and I tried to pull at it, but like that's such like a thing. Yeah, exactly. It sucked. So I did, I stopped touching it, but I told my doctor's office, I said at my follow up appointment, I just want you to know this is what happened. Do I need to come in sooner? Like you're worried about it. They're like, Oh my God, you want to tell me how they didn't even take it out for me when I went in for my follow up to get my stitches out? He was like, Oh, that's all right. It'll it'll absorb like it'll just like a disintegrate whatever the fuck it'll absorb into your skin. It'll be fine. And I was like, it was like fused. It like fused over. So I went in for my six week checkup. Like I went in for that initial like one week post up, I think, or two week post up stitches out, blah, blah, blah. Given my instructions, I got a knee scooter still to this day. Like at that point, I still hadn't been given a boot. And then when I went in for my two weeks, I went in for one week, two week, they put me in a boot because my ankle was not going to 90 degrees. So they maybe get a boot to put it in there. And I forced it. Yeah, no meds, nothing just yeah. Yeah. And then six weeks, I'm a six week appointment, Shannon, I went in and I was like, you know, it feels like tight, it gets swollen still. Like I just kind of talked to him about some of the stuff I was still feeling. And he was like, all right, well, let's take an x-ray. They hadn't taken an x-ray from the break to that six weeks. Oh, my God. I just want to point that out to you. No, it's right. He I think they took one the day of surgery. And then that was it. He came back in the room. And he was like, I don't know how to tell you this, but you have to have surgery again. And I was like, I was like, what? He was like one of your internal sutures stretched out one of your ligaments stretched out your ligaments. And we have to I've never seen this before. This has never happened before. And I have to go back in. And I have to look at it. And I have to repair it. And you're basically going to start all over again from your surgeries. Like I should have been cleared at six weeks to start walking. I hadn't walked at that point. So I had been six weeks without me walking. And he was like, so you're basically going to have to start all over again. I was in physical therapy. Shannon was he had just gotten notified that he was deploying, like the day or two before that. And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, well, when's the soonest that we can get this done? Like he is deploying, like during that second surgery, that whole time, though, they hadn't they didn't take it. I'm telling you, my skin fused over it here. I show you not like the scar was like, God, no, like I it's okay now. Like, if it was the time that probably would have cried. Frankenstein's bride at this point. Like, you know, yes, I literally joked that that's my Frankenstein life. Yeah. So that whole time, they hadn't taken it out like that. It literally fused over. But during my second surgery, they did remove it. So I had a scar on top of the scar, just picturing them, cutting you open and just pulling out like this. Oh, I guarantee. I asked to see it, but I didn't get to see it because I had to see my word when they pulled it out. I'll show you that picture. It's a way better than your guys. Like all blood covered and abs or like the so I had my second surgery and my best friend out took me to my surgery. Shannon was at home. And it was they scheduled my surgery the day Shannon was set to leave her deployment. And we were working our asses off trying to get it postponed because we had an in Maverick was an infant. I was like, how the fuck am I going to take care of him? Like he was, he like, I can't carry him. I can't walk. Like, what am I supposed to do? He's a fucking infant. Yeah, I have stairs. Like, how am I supposed to take a big baby? And he's, yeah, he's young. She was 30 pounds. I mean, he was a teen, he was a dirty baby by that point. But like, what do I do? Well, sure did. Not for myself. Thank you. And for Mel, but and out of mind, Mark, not in mind for titty babies. Didn't didn't didn't flow. If you know, I'm in a red. So she saw red and I flowed red. Yeah. Shannon called me when I was at the waiting in the waiting area for my surgery. And he was like, I just got chewed out, but they granted me like three extra days, three days. I'm having surgery. And they gave him like three or four days to like be postponed. And then he's going. So I'm like freaking out before my surgery. I'm terrified of like the second time going underneath the knife for that kind of stuff. My third surgery in a couple of months between my C section and the ankles. And obviously they put me to sleep. I had like a nerve block put in my leg, like all was well, I woke up all was well, I had a cast that time. And he took a lot of x-rays at travel. Like, I was given instructions at every interval, blah, blah, six weeks, I was cleared. I could start partial weight bearing. And then, you know, everything was good. I went in another six weeks later, and he was like, you need to have surgery again. And I was like, come fucking again. He was like, the same thing that happened the first time happened again. And I'm like the ligament that connected my deltoid ligament. So there's a deltoid in your arms, I think, or your back one of the two. But there's also a deltoid ligament in your ankles. And that there was a suture that connects to the deltoid ligament and that connects to your bone. And that suture, I guess, stretched. So there was a gap. I was like, is it something I'm doing? Like, I, I, I had even like really walked, to be honest with you at that point, because I was fucking terrified to walk. Like, I was terrified. So I had barely been on my foot, but my foot was curved like this. Like, I had moved a little bit. My. Used to be. Actually, that's a matter of fact. So my, my fucking foot was like this. You know what? I'm not taking the blame. Dreyer's taking the blame on it. So he's just a regular orthopedic surgeon. He's not a specialist when it comes to the ankle and the foot. He was like, Oh, by the way, um, so you need to have another surgery. But you had the same surgeon for everyone? For the first two. I didn't make the, the same mistake again. If you couldn't do it right the first time? Well, to me, like someone else, if you can't do it the second time, that's it. Like that was it for me. He was like, well, he was like, are you in any pain? And I was like, I'm not really in pain, but I mean, like I have a high tolerance for pain. So if I say I'm in pain, then that means it's probably pretty bad. And I was like, I'm not really in any pain, but like it gets swollen a lot. And, you know, patients is right in fucking law. Yeah. And I'm like, well, I don't understand like how this can happen. Again, it's something I'm doing. And he's like, no, I don't think it's anything you're doing. But honestly, like if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's broke, bitch. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. He's like, you can get a second opinion if you want to. Yeah, after a shit 10 a month. And I was like, and referrals from dry care. I was like, referring off posts. It took a week for me to get referred off post to an actual like foot specialist. You go to the bone and joints. I did go to the bone and joint. I love them. That doctor came in and he looked me up and down and he's like, tell me everything. I had the film sent over from when they took their own at no charge to me. If there was going to be one, they were like, I'm, we're not charging you because they're all pretty fresh. Tell me everything. And I was like, I told him everything that happened. Janet was with me. He told him everything to like his version and like his perspective and blah, blah. He was looking at my ankle and looking at me and he's like, well, here's the thing. He's like, here's the thing. He's like, do you see this suture here? And he shows me the fucking X ray, right? He's like, this is where it's supposed to be on this side of your ankle. It's all the way around the other side of my fucking ankle. So Dreyer was like, oh, it separated from the nose a little bit, blah, bitch. It was around the other side of my ankle and the X ray. You could fucking see it. And I'm a doctor. I don't read X rays on bone, dead teeth. I do teeth. And it was all the way around the other side. And he's like, that's a fucking problem. And I was like, you think? And he was like, they didn't, they'd give you an ankle brace or anything. And I was like, no, nothing. I was like on my own. He literally went and pulled a fucking ankle brace out. They were like, we're building it to try care. They'll be with for it. Don't worry about it. I still have that fucking brace. That bitches warned shit on the bottom and I don't give a fuck. I don't care. I will wear her forever. So they were like, the problem is, is that we don't specialize in ankles. So we're going to refer you to honestly the best person he was like, he is one of the very few surgery surgeons in the country that will do. And I'm not saying you need this, but that will do a full ankle replacement. If necessary, he's one of the few in the country that will do it. Fresh ankles been fucked with more than a day. I'm oriented. I feel like a little tinker toy. Like a little tinker toy. Like literally, I'm like literally part bionic. Like I have like all the screws and bells and whistles in my fucking ankle. It clicks. Just kidding. It doesn't actually click. But it's my name. You've had almost as many in the, and I've had my knee cut open four times. I got cadab reports. I got fucking screws. I got everything you've had as many surgeries in your ankle in a short period of time as I've had knee surgeries my entire life on the same fucking knee. My next step is a total knee replacement. Yeah, I was worried that he was going to tell me like this guy, like I saw Dr. Prather in Savannah or in pooler, and he was incredible from start to finish. He was like, first of all, I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but you're in good hands. Like just tell me like I read the notes, but I want to know what you have to say about it. And I just like, I mean, get your fucking shit straight. Yeah. And he was like, this is like, he didn't say this, but like his face was like, bitch, this is the worst thing I've ever seen. Like mutilated like at that. I was complaining. I should do the ice. That's why I asked you about the malpractice, because I was playing on every motherfucker. They took you over five. Her body. You're getting it. I should, I really should do that, but I was just like trying to like get through that part, because it had been almost a year. I hadn't really walked, because after my second surgery and he told me I had to have another one, like, I couldn't walk. My foot was like, I'm not kidding you, Ash Shannon. It was literally curved out. And he was like, I think something was wrong. And so I brought all that up, because the doctor didn't see it himself. The director gave us a list of everybody who had touched me. I simply thank for everyone. Yep. And I mean, I had my surgery. I was fucking terrified. I was in such good hands, and I know that, but I was like terrified, because I'm like, I have to go through this again. Like I had to go through those months of Shannon being gone after having surgery with Maverick. I'm not kidding you. I was crawling on the ground. Oh, and patient advocate at the hospital. Go talk to the patient advocate at the hospital. Same for anyone who's listening. You can fuck over. Go talk to the patient advocate of any military hospital that you're near. They will help you as well. Take all the fucking names to them. I literally had calluses on my knees, because I had a crawl. So I would have to scoot on my butt down the stairs, and then crawl backwards up the stairs. So like my neck, my fucking tailbone, like all of this is all messed up with Maverick. Like I had to have Sydney. She's 10. I had to have her carry the baby up the stairs for me, because I couldn't pull myself up the handrail and push myself up the stairs with the baby. So luckily he was small enough. Now she can't carry him at all. Now she can't carry him, but she could when he was little. So she would carry him up the stairs for me. She would put him down on this changing pad for me. I would change him. I would get him ready. She would I would give him to her. She would hold him. I would pull myself up off the ground into my glider in his room to feed him. And then I had to slide down out of the seat holding him and walk on my knees to his like he was in like a like a like a like a snoo like bassinet type thing at that point. So not like a crib where like I wouldn't have been able to get him in. Like it was low enough that I could get him in it and I had to literally gee walk to his fucking bassinet and put him in it and get him all set up. It was horrible and I didn't know anybody at that point. Like I had just barely met um our our one set of neighbors that would walk the kids to school. Seriously and like I was just like and my best friend came and tried to help me as she could. Like she took me to doctor's appointment. She helped me with the kids as much as she could, but she's also she's got a job. She's got her own things and they live in Brunswick. You know what I mean? Like it's not that easy to do and she can't come every night for bedtimes, you know. But I was literally crawling on the floors, picking myself up, pulling myself like off the ground, lowering myself down onto the ground. And like I was so worried that I wasn't going to injure myself because I only had one foot eye. This is a strong leg. I will say this is just strong. That's why the knee is cracking. That is when an FRG, if they had been doing what they should have been doing, should have stepped in. Yeah. I mean I'm literally crawling around my fucking house. Like I command would have stepped in. Then they would have told other spouses. I would have known about you. Yeah. The only person I think that knew anything that was going on me Shannon like voiced the complaints. Like I'm sure Dojo knew. Like I guarantee Dojo knew about it because like, you know, but like nothing that he could do. I'm just saying like he was so vocal about it. The only person I think that like higher up that really did know much of any was a chaplain because a chaplain was the one who made the phone call that got him those couple days extended because otherwise he would have left the day I had surgery. Well then the chaplain should have said something. The chaplain should have reached out. The chaplain should have said, hey let your spouses know. Let somebody fucking know we're a D should have done something. It was just like cleared. You know, I mean, he got his ass chewed out by me. Maybe he didn't. I don't know. I don't. I truly don't. I know that he was so vocal about stuff but I don't know who he was vocal to. So I'm not. I don't want to put that on him. You know what I mean? Um, Kay knew though. Kay definitely knew because that was his direct like even if there's no FRG. Yeah. They should have told people. Yeah. Like I like the Shannon like he was he was like fucking terrified of like what could have happened. Like I like literally had um memorandums from the doctor. Like she should not be left home alone to care for her infant or herself. Like she's she has to take the payment. I was like not. I wasn't taking pain medications either. But that I put that the whole situation. Yeah. I wasn't taking any fucking help. That's fucking pathetic. Months by myself. The only help that I really thought like consistently was our neighbor that would walk the big kids to school because there was no I couldn't push our stroller with Maverick and always on a knee scooter. I was knee scootering around the house downstairs but crawling upstairs. Yeah. I wasn't even using the crutches upstairs because I really couldn't. I was like pulling myself up off of our off the floor like in our room like using our bed to like get off the ground. I literally like I still have like calluses like on my knees, shit you not. Yeah. Yep. And I just it was like like they were literally she shouldn't be doing anything by herself. And like I stopped taking pain medication because how am I supposed to take care of an infant all day if I'm on pain medication. So I literally had no pain medication. I wouldn't take anything even at night because if he woke up in the middle of the night I had to be able to get up get up. So I just like no pain management at all. And like I have a high tolerance but there's a limit and having three ankle surge or two ankle surges at that point back to back then one of them was like a he was literally gone a couple days later. Not taking pain meds like you know what there's a legitimate Facebook group. I don't have an FRG that I do. Yeah. Yeah. And it's it's like I know that like it made me stronger as a person to have to give for you matter what the fuck ever but like that was very terrifying for me and I already have like postpartum I have depression and anxiety like I take medication for that. And I was just like in a place of like dark it was dark like it was a very dark place of like worry all the time because if my kids needed me at school I couldn't get up there. I was in my house all the time like I didn't go anywhere unless it was a doctor's appointment and my best friend had to come pick me up take a day off of work. We had the the base installed in her car for the car seat for the baby. She was basically taking care of the baby while I was doing what I needed to do for my doctor's appointments. And then I had to go fucking have a third surgery. And I I'll be honest with you like I I probably blame myself for the fact that I have to have I had to have a third surgery because I was fucking having to crawl around on the ground. Don't blame like yourself. Not like fully blame but like you did what you had to do. Right. And I feel like did that have to do with it. I don't I have no idea. Okay your kids are alive. They're taking care of. Happy healthy. I'm walking ish. You know but like it's it's one of those things where like my surgeon my real surgeon my big boy surgeon was like you're going to live with arthritis for the rest of your life. Like I'm 34 35. I'm like 29. That's like 29 30 30 and thriving. He was like you already have arthritis like early onset arthritis. He was like it's already set in. There's nothing you can do about it. Nothing I can do about it. And I'm just enjoying it. I haven't been able to jump on a trip late since I was 16. Yeah. And he was like it's going to be difficult. You're going to always have to have some kind of something like the cold weather is going to make it act up. You're not to have a heating pad. You're going to have to have things like this. And you're going to be able to tell it's raining the day before it starts raining. 30% chance it's already raining. That's why when he hurts or my ankle hurts today because it rained. But yeah, I'm like I got to wake up and do some stretches and like you know, it's just it's one of those things where he was just like you're going to have to live with this forever. And you know, you just have to be mindful. And like the reality that I'll probably never I'm not a runner, my any means. But like if I had to, if I'm running, you should probably better start. Yeah, you burst if I'm running, you better get to get and don't ask questions. Just go. But he's like, you know, the reality is, is like you're probably never able to run again. So like if that was a thing that you were interested in, like I remember after my after my second surgery, my surgeon was like, what are your goals? Like, where do you want to be in your like recovery? And I was like, just to walk. I'm out of hiker. I'm not a jogger. Like, you know, like, I just want to get back to like normal, like normal stuff. I want to be able to push my baby and his fucking stroller to the kids school. Like I told him that was my goal. I want to be able to walk out of my house, push my baby in his stroller, and walk my kids to school. That's what I would like to be able to do. I think of a fuck about the rest of it. I want to be able to do that with my children. That's the reason why I stayed home. Is it not to be able to do those? That's a bare minimum thing. I wasn't able to cook for my family for a really long time and I love cooking. Like, I I'm not a good baker, but I love to cook. That's like my love language is like, I love to provide that for people and cook and like, I make some bombass food. And I wasn't even being able to do that for a while. So like, I felt like chicken nuggets and mac and cheese and like the bare minimum shit that I could do for dinner just was not good enough. Like, what the fuck? You know? And, but I'm in a different place now. I mean, it still pisses me off to this day to like, think about all that and like, remember that? But, you know, I'm at a different place. I'm walking. I, I'm not walking normally, but I'm walking. You know, I can't quite drive yet. And like, a lot of times that frustrates me to no end. But on the one side, I am grateful for that trycare because did they pay for my surgeries and take care of that from me? They did. To this day, we haven't paid anything out of pocket except I think I paid for, I think about like $15 at the orthopedic surgeon's office for like some inserts for my shoes. You know, when I've had to do stuff like compression socks, like I've paid for that kind of stuff, you know what I mean? But in the grand scheme of things, like thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars for surgery, like, thank God, at least we have that. So that brings me back to that positive side of things. Like, it could have been worse. Like, I literally told my surgeon, if this surgery fails, you fucking cut that shit off. I would rather have a fucking prosthetic. I would rather have a fucking nub. Like, that's half off of pedicure. Like, I would rather you fucking take it than go through a fourth surgery. I did the same thing with my knee. So we had two of my knee surgeries before being listed. And we had to put $2,000 down for one of those knee surgeries. So I had one, one of our as a kid, but $2,000 down. And that's actually how we found out. I was pregnant with Mia was in pre-surgery. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, tons of fun. And we only got half of that back. Oh, my God. Yeah. And I ended up having the surgery not long after that, but that was tons of fun. Yeah. And it's, it's, if it wasn't for trial, like, I, I can't necessarily say a triker put me in that situation, but the fucking lovely carpeting at our base house, you're looking at it. That's what's on the fucking stairs. Yeah. Our carpet's not attached either. So yeah. And I'm just like, it picks up every time I vacuum, you just see the carpet stick to the vacuum. It's stuck with the vacuum. Like the edges are like, I know it's getting clean. Yeah. Yeah. You're really getting clean. But like, you know, it's, it's sad because like, I don't blame anyone for anything that happened. But like, I feel bad. I feel bad because the kids almost blamed themselves for a lot because I was carrying a laundry basket downstairs and it was their laundry basket. And they were like, I feel bad. Shannon felt bad because he was giving me like, he gives me like foot rubs every night. And he felt bad because he was like, I know that that lotion was slippery. And like, it was probably your feet were slippery the next morning. And I should have taken the laundry. Like everybody was like, blah, blah. And I was like, it's fine. So that's my low. That will forever be my low story, to be honest with you, not my emergency season. Well, let's hope it never, let's hope you never have a lower than that low. I hope so. If that's below, if that's my low, I'll, I'll, I'll take it. Because here I am. It's okay. You're low. My low. We're still here to talk about it. I will never have a lower than that low because I, I question my fucking doctor and every fucking turn that I have now. Yep. They say something to me. I'm like, are you sure? Yep. And they, they sent me to go have blood work after that. And I sat there and I asked the, the bottom is the whole time. Can you please look at my chart? This is exactly what I should be having a man we can't discuss. I said, I will sit here and Google this ship right the fucking front of you. Yep. Is this what I'm supposed to have telling you? Yep. I had to like apologize in my surgeon. I was like, I probably sound like a little bit of a care and a little bit of a control freak. But this is the situation. He's like, whatever you feel, whatever you need to do. He was, he's a fucking rock star. He's precious. I'm like, I have no problem writing a nice complaint about you. Is this what I'm supposed to have done? Yep. You guys here. Yep. I'll never, never scorn to definitely scorn. That's for sure. But what a way to have my first broken bone. Yeah. So you, you got a good screenshot. Let's take it to the funny. I do have a screenshot on that. No, it's funny out of here first before we send off. This one's funny. So it's, it's, it's long, but it's not long. So it's, um, here is the rundown on, it's just funny. Here's the rundown on the local military spouse's page for anybody wondering. Seven AM post one anonymous. If your husband is currently in Poland in, it's, this is all made up FYI in one one ABC and has a beard. He is cheating with SPC XYZ and she is pregnant. Host two rehoming dog that I just got from the shelter because I didn't know we would move. Host three. Can anyone tell me what kind of spider this is? Post four. Just made some fresh bread and we'll deliver only $15 per loaf. You won't regret it. Pick up available between two and five PM. Just text me so I can put up my four dogs. 10 AM post five. I need you got, I need you guys opinion. I think there is a faint line. Do you see it too? I don't know what to do. My baby is only three days old. We were being careful and use protection. That's why I always get a pregnancy test with words. I know just digital, digital. I don't want to look for the lines. If you can't afford that pretty test, you probably should have the baby. Post six. If you drive through a Rapa Ho village in a black SUV, you're an asshole. I was walking with my seven kids and you almost ran us over while we were crossing the red light. I can't believe how people drive on post. 12 PM post seven. Who has lunch plates for sale? Too lazy to cook was binge watching Purple Heart on Netflix all night. That was so shitty. That was horrible. Did I watch it all the way through? Yes, I did. It was horrible. Post eight. My husband is an e-10 and we are coming to Carson. I don't think there's an e-10. Yeah, I'm so stupid. I think it's all made up, but it's funny as fuck. What did they go up to, e-7? I think, e-7. 7. And then, no, e-8 because I was just looking at housing. Yes, so when are we PCS? Yes, at the eight and then from there it goes to officer. Yeah, yeah. So my husband is an e-10 and we're coming to Carson. What neighborhood do we qualify for? Do we really need to live closer to lower and listen? And how many bedrooms do we get as a family of three with two fur babies? Does each of our dogs get their own room? Three PM post nine. Yeah, I'll deck it out, which you got to share with Pappy. Post nine. If your kid just came home with an extra pink jacket, it's my daughters and we would like it back. Miss Jackson's class. Post 10. Oh my goodness. I don't know. I'm guilty of the last one. Oh my goodness. I don't know how you do it. My husband has been gone for two hours and I'm having such a hard time. All I do is cry all day. I miss him so much. I wrote him 10 letters and prepared care packages and just found out he can't receive mail at NTC. Can I send a red cross message to him to get him back home because of my broken heart? Post 11. All you all you new spouses crying on here about your husband's being gone, you signed up for this life. Chill out and enjoy your tri-care benefits. If you want to be with him so bad, go see a recruiter and put on a uniform. You guys can deploy together. Stop whining. 5 p.m. Post 12. I have pure bread, husky puppies for sale. 20 of them. Mom is AKC registered. Dad was a rescue from the Walmart park in lot six hundred dollars each. P.M. me for prices. Post 13. If your husband gets promoted, do I need or if my husband gets promoted, do I need to get a new ID card? He's making E3 next week. What should we wear to our promotion? This should wear a trash bag because that's all you are. Right. Is there a bug going around? Post 14. Is there a bug going around? I've been sick all day. Anyone else? Post 15. There might not be a bug but there is a lizard. Post 15. Final one. Business Wednesday. I'm your local MLM distributor and we have this great product you should try and please no hate. This business is my heart and soul and I guarantee results. And at the end of the post I promise I can't make this shit up. I can go on for days with this mess. Oh my god. Oh shit. Yeah. Yeah. So that was literally like someone literally was like here's how the spouses pages literally go. And then I thought this one was really funny. Someone shared this screenshot and it was it was a Georgia page I guess called Savannah Hustlers. And it says if you need a military ID created let me know now there are 150 shipping included. And someone's green shotted it in the when you're tired of military. So also though you are one and they were like I never thought I'd have to post anything here but this is wild. That little discount is not worth it. I would love to see somebody try and scan that shit. And whoever posted that posted it with their chest not even anonymously. And someone commented on the original post and was like I would have definitely posted this anonymously. And military ID is not something you want to play with next on Liberty County. Try it. Try it. Yeah. Those are my winners of the week. Oh my god. Oh my god. The digits have been a little boring lately but that was the my winner. I love the week. I can't believe you did. We should have seriously shared the hustler hustle. We should have. Yeah. That that may be like next week's. Yeah. Kind of thing. Yeah. When you claim to have a hustle but you're really just hustling. That's that's a definite. Who's getting hustled. Yeah. The hustler has been hustled. That's very good. That's good tea for next week. Yes. Agreed. It's a shame that we don't share names. I know. But it's good that we don't share names. Most of our anonymous anyway. This one was not enough. Yeah. That one. Yeah. That one. She did. Just like this one. She put that shit out there. Everybody. I'll put that shit out there. But I bitch did not share the footage because she's a little bitch. Yeah. Just so sad. I know. I know. We are. We are on time. One hundred percent. So that was that was our bullshit week. Again, we've had a hard time where we are both PCSN and it has been fun. Tons of fun. Yeah. Cool. This was a nice break from thinking about all of that. Yeah. Honestly. And the snake in my house today. Oh, no bro. No bro. No bro. Yep. Yep. So until next week, I hope you enjoyed our little bullshit seminar. And also in case you ever do find a job on Craigslist and it does say spa, look for tiny hints. Don't quit the job. Just consider asking for more pay. That's that's the number one take away. Also file them ice complaints. Yep. And then follow up on them ice complaints. And if you can't find an FRG, I may have just come up with a new Facebook group. We should definitely look at it. So do the same. Yep. You got any more takeaways? Don't don't take doctors at their first word, to be honest with you. Ask the questions. Don't be afraid to ask the questions. Don't be afraid to push back. If you feel like something is not right, it probably isn't. Whether it's a doctor, a spouse, whatever, like your kid's teacher, whatever the fuck it is. Like if you feel like it's wrong, it's probably wrong. If we had gone with our intuitions, we could be in a totally different situation. Who fucking knows? You wouldn't have a hole in your chest. You wouldn't have a fucked up knee and ankle. Yep. Yep. Yep. Me too, I guess. Yeah. Arties. Yeah. And I would also say just be grateful for all the good things. Don't forget the good things. Don't get the bad things, but don't forget those good things. Yeah. It may seem like a weird good thing, but... I like weird. We're really good things. Mr. They are. It's no perspective. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Oh, be fuckers have a good week. And we will be back next week. We ain't going nowhere for right now. For now. You got with 30 days. But we'll still be coming to you. We'll be coming to you from a distance. And no matter what, we'll be bringing you that hot mess shit. Oh yeah. Peace out all you bitches.
