Truth Bomb by OVD : Otto update

 Hey Everyone,

  So I'm having an awful J4. My room mate was banging around all night so I got very little sleep. Then I got a call from a friend that my friend Sam is unconscious again and has a serious rattle to his breathing. It doesn't look good. Then to top it off I fell in the shower...messing up both my legs. The pain is just off the charts. I can barely type this. 

  There are a few things I need and can pay for but need someone to run for me or take me to Target or similar to get. here's a list...if your local and can help please let me know.

1) I need a rubber bathmat so I don't slip again.

2) I need new slippers, socks and sweat pants. Viking sized.

3) I need help doing my laundry(it's been months so it's a huge load for me...all my clothing, sheets and towels). 

4) Edibles...I'm down to pain pills and they just suck and are running out too. Club prices are too expensive as I need 150 mg at night to sleep and that would be $30+ a day. If you know someone that makes cookies or the like and can deliver with a reasonable price I'd love to hear from them and set it up.

5) Visitors...seeing my friends helps me a lot with depression and isolation. I have little to no schedule so I'm free most of the time. Day or night.  

GOOD NEWS'

I'm good with food for now as the East Oakland collectives delivery plus what I bought with the GoFundMe donations

Some friends came over a few weekends ago and cleaned and painted my walls to my room looks and smells much better. I've even hung most of the art back up. 

I'm starting the process for a New VA Claim so hopefully in a few months I won't need help financially anymore and will even be able to help others as my needs are minimal. 

  I hope you all are having a great J4 weekend. Peace.

    So very sorry Otto, it's always so hard to lose another friend. Wish I lived in California I'd run you to Target, I hope someone does and you get what you need. On this Independence Day, thank you for your service Otto...Maria

      Damn I sure hope someone stops by, hopefully tomorrow. Do you have a shower chair, it's been a life saver for me, I really fought using it because it was once again a loss of independence, I know you get what I mean but now I'm used to it. It's a fn bitch when it hurts to stand in the shower. Again I'm so sorry about Sam. You take care, I hope tomorrow is better. It's not much but know you're thought of here in the big old city of Binghamton NY. Maria

      Yeah showers are painful...because of the standing and movement. I usually take baths unless I need to wash my hair too. A shower chair might be helpful but I have limited space. A rubber bath mat would at least save me from slipping like I did today. Now both my legs are screwed and the pain is off the charts. I do have a friend visiting tomorrow. Marlowe...the gal in the picture. She was also close with Sam.

    Glad to hear she's coming by today, try the bathmat for now but my bathtubs relatively small & the chair works in it, I don't know about there but here the Veteran's Clinics will supply them free of charge. Have a good day..Maria

      putting in a hand rail maybe a more feasible idea but I don't have the money for that...let alone installment...which I used to be able to do myself. But can't anymore.

    I got a bunch of Cannabis cookies last night from my friend Tom (Made by his sister) and this looks to be a steady supply...I would still like some others as I want to stop using the pain pills completely and supply is my concern. These are steady by maybe not frequent enough and then there's the "Shit happens" rule so I'm looking for 1 or 2 more people in the bay Area that can help with edibles too...
    If you can let me know. I'm a Marine SGT so I like to be prepared but also as a Marine I can do with what I have...it's just more difficult and when "shit happens" it'll be hard times.

Truth Bomb By OVD : Ukraine (Proxy) War updaye

 Hey Everyone,   So the war in Ukraine has been bloody but not much has happened the last month in regards to land controlled by either side. The HIMARS are doing serious damage to Russian command and supplies and they only have 4 of them. The Russians said they took them out but that has been proven to be a lie. The only reason Ukraine isn't dominating and taking their land back is the west isn't supplying enough. It's obvious the west IS considering this a Proxy war. That means their goal is to bleed Russia by keeping the war going. This is why the Ukrainians are not getting enough support. I warned of this but now it's clear that it is the case now.    There is talk of giving them 30 HIMARS and F-15's, F-16's, F-18's(Hornets are used by the USMC like the A-10's) and A-10's. But it's just talk and these will require training. Maybe next year is what I'm hearing. Thousands of Ukrainians will die because of these delay's. Also if the Repu

Truth Bomb By OVD: Ukraine war update

 Hey Everyone,   So the front lines haven't moved much but the fighting is fierce along the whole line. It's still winter but spring is around the corner so both sides are gearing up for spring offenses. The newly promised Tanks from the west still haven't arrived and there isn't enough of them to make a difference. The Russians are losing thousands of Troops but their real purpose will be seen soon enough. You have to understand Russian war doctrine to see what the real Russian plan is. So lets talk about that. The Russians throughout history have used the same playbook. They invade or instigate a war thinking they will win fast. Then they lose badly as their forces are poorly trained and corruption ensures they are poorly equipped. They respond just like they are now by conscripting massive amounts of men and plugging the holes and holding the line. The second unsaid part of that is these conscripts are also being used to keep pressure on their enemy and use up their

Truth Bomb by OVD : Personal update

 Hey everyone,   If anyone is even still reading this...My feeling of isolation is getting bad. Really bad. Being cut off from Facebook was bad enough. I haven't heard from a lot of friends from real life for more than a year now. Twitter helped and I made some new friends and was able to connect to a bunch of fellow Veterans. That's gone now too. So now I kind of drift from day to day with little to no contact with the outside world. It's demoralizing to say the least. I'm down right depressed and don't see any future for myself anymore. I've always been a very social person and now I have no way to reach anyone but this and the numbers of people that even read this anymore has dwindled to a couple. Soon I'll probably stop bothering with this either.    My pain levels are through the roof. I got only an hour of sleep last night(and why I'm typing this at 5 am. Pain meds and pot cookies combined didn't help. My left leg is now starting to get as bad
