Christmas for a disabled Vet

[jewozzy]

Oh, and never thought it was a scam. Just an unworthy cause. People feeling sorry because he was shot 5yrs ago. So he's down on his luck. There are many on this site down on their luck but wont ask for help. I disagree with tapping into our members for cases like this where all it takes is a little hustle and he's out of the rut. The more hand-outs people give, the less he is gonna want to take care of his business. It appears he is used to handouts after reading the story. Anyway, FF wanted to do help someone out that was on hard times. Fine. I just disagree on putting that on the board. When the board is really needed, the funds may not be there. Refardless, Merry Christmas.

so would you feel differently if the injury wasn't mentioned and it was just someone asking for donations to help with a friend?

i understand where youre coming from but i dont think people are understanding it by the way youve said it.

ok private with brass. i made my last post blindly (no pun intended.) you aren't a combat vet. you are some college kid that got his medical degree and went from there. i dont need your help. im sorry i dont meet your standards of what a veteran of +5 years is. Frost did this on his own. i thought i would be on here to thank those that have helped, and maybe find some mutual friends.

I do have a plan. i do have goals. but until (you never will) sign up for the Army to stay off the streets of Detroit and make something of yourself, plan on putting 20+ years in and then it crash down upon you like a ton of bricks. you can take your brass and shove it. this is why you dont hear about officers being hurt on the front lines. they don't know. as for the smoking no i dont smoke. i am in top physical shape. im sure my math skills are better than yours. im sure im a better leader than you. you want to know why you get the job we both apply for? cause you have that stupid brass. cause you went to college. some of us couldnt afford to go to college right away and thats part of joining the military was about. its people like you that give people like Frost and I a bad name. you wouldnt last a damn day in my shoes before or after my injury.


as for my children not "remembering" Christmas at this age again you wouldnt understand . I CANNOT AFFORD PRESENTS FOR MY CHILDREN!!!!!!! you will never know what that feels like.

again thank you all to those that have helped. whatever it may be. its not about the money. its about making sure my kids survive. i can survive on ramen noodles and coffee. the rest of my family cant!

btw DAV how many days did you spend sleeping under the Iraqi/Afgani stars?

GOD BLESS YOU ALL THAT BELIEVE AND THOSE THAT NEED PROOF PM me i will give it to you!

1. Thanks for you service.

2. Ignore Dave comments(davbrucas). He very adept at downplaying or making discordant remarks about other people, regarding of their background/tenure/qualifications/status as an individual. He's very arrogant and can come across as a condescending prick at times(I'm guilt of doing the same on occasion). Dave is a good guy, but makes a lot of glib remarks and throws around a lot of self-righteous indignation at people he knows absolutely nothing about. I've engaged this verbal ping pong with him before myself, so just take my world on this. Don't allow his shot in the dark assumptions and hubris get under your skin.

3. Dave is more competent, better educated, more worldly, and has attained a great deal more life experience than the rest of his. At least in his own mind.

4. It is not necessary for you to come on here and prove yourself in anyway to anyone, especially making any attempts to address or acknowledge these incredulous comments made by others.

5. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and good health.

Take care.

- Tim

hey all i would like to state that i am the one Frost is talking about. I felt it was needed to come here and A) Prove I'm real and B) thank you for those (helosailor and avbrucas) who have helped.

i want to address a few things. one i had a job for 3 years till i was stabbed in the back by a co worker who didnt like my style and a boss who hated me cause i knew she was a bad leader ( i can go in further if needed or wanted) no one wants to hire a veteran who has a hard time with change. as that being the case for me. the 2nd job as they say "didnt work out" i still dont understand totally why.

the biggest thing that bothers me is when avbrucas mentioned my hockey equipment.

that was a 3 year old picture for number one.

2 90% of that equipment was donated and or bought for me cause hockey is a therapy for me. when i got injured i promised myself i would play again. and i do every thursday. and i have never paid for a single season of hockey. if any of you have any questions please ask. if you feel this isnt real ask and i will prove it to you. again... thank you all for your help, thoughts and prayers!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I will pass. If I fucked your sister I would probably end up smelling like piss and she would want me to pay for her assisted living facility.

Damn.

[davbrucas]

You are alright in my book. Hell, if I had a sister, I'd let you fuck her.

Dont make me push you down and break your hip, old man!! Bah humbug.

That is your perception of my words. I assure you that isnt my intent. Yeah, sometimes I do that when dealing with other pompous asses on here, but thats the exception and not the norm. You would just have to meet me to see that I am as blue collar and down to Earth as anyone else.

FF, just sent $120 worth of enfamil and diapers, but I accidentally sent it to John Urbany and not Donald. Same address so he should get it. Not sure where I got John from.

It will be very appreciated. Thank you for sending it.

Hey that's not a bad idea, job security!

You're right you are entitled to your opinion but your opinion usually includes a condescending tone and a look at me attitude.

Thats not true man. I just state my opinions. If I wasnt a physician I would be just like every other shit head on this site. Dont assume that because I am a doctor that I have a God complex or am on a high horse. Thats just not true. But I can see where you would think that.

[davbrucas]

High horse or not, Dave has always been one of the few helpful members on the site. I think people tend to read too much into what he says.

Thank you.
