You gotta be shitting me!

They gave me like I said all the percentages added up to something insane, but I am paid at 90% because I can and do work.

Here is one, your mom lives with you, have you included that, since they do pay extra for taking care of spouses and family members to include parents.

I gave you my info when I was married and lived in Long Beach, back in 05. If you want, I can shoot you a call and give you some info. I until last week was a Vet Rep So, I kinda know the game and the rules.

They bumped me up 50% and rated me unemployable at the time at the time due to the effects of psychiatric medication alone. Antipsychotics, especially the heavy dose I take, tend to make you into a zombie; I'm awake maybe 6-8 hours a day and truly alert about four. Meds like Nuvigil and Provigil can keep me awake and alert much longer, but long-term use (two weeks every day or more) causes them to knock out my antipsychotics -- and you don't want to be wide awake and alert and psychotic. So I only take them as needed, like when I need to get my mother or myself to an early appointment. And believe me, you don't want me off my antipsychotics! I was working before that point, but I kept falling asleep on the job and I'm surprised I never had an accident from falling asleep at the wheel.

As for my mother -- well, I told her that she could divorce my stepmonster at any time, probably take him to the cleaners due to his history with the family, and I could take her as a dependent and still get her Tricare. I checked on that. For whatever reason, she won't dump him, even though they are separated and she has no intention of ever going back to him. (And I've already told him that he's not welcome on my property -- "don't even pull into the driveway.") But for whatever reason, she stays married to him. Beats me. Oh well. He's a nursing home wreck now anyway, and my brother has power of attorney over his finances, so we'll never have any problems with him again. And I don't want him to die, strangely enough; I want him to live and suffer.

Pity party over.

I've always had a soft spot for the big 3 pump guns: various Winchesters (old model 12, 1300 Defender, etc), Remington 870 (3" Magnum rifled slugs fired as fast as possible through an 870 Wingmaster is great percussive therapy...), and the Mossberg 500/590 series. Forced to choose i went with the Mossberg because its a happy medium. No matter what I'm feeding it, no matter what joint is sore or which arm is dominant due to any given day's injury listing the Mossy is easy to adapt to. If I'm not close to medical care or even if I slept on my arm in an awkward position on top of a tree root I want the Mossberg so I can still kill stuff easily with my off hand on the trigger and a numb arm working the pump.

Paul, I was trawling your site (as usual) and came across this little gem under shotgun ammo:

The 20-Gauge round once indirectly saved the life of a sergeant I had when I was in the Army. His wife was trying to kill him, and was trying to load 20-gauge shells into 12-gauge bird gun…he was able to get out of the house and call the police.
I sooooo want to know more about this, particularly just what in hell had he done!?

I don't know many of the details, but the one time I met SGT Rozar's wife, she seemed to me to be a bit high-strung, and he was always talking about marital difficulties.

She sounds a bit like my ex-wife and all he'd have needed to do to piss her off is breath...

E-7 I worked with at one point had the experience of having taught his wife to shoot a double action revolver for self-defense. Sometime later, during an argument, she grabbed his High Power (condition 1) and proceeded to level it at him and pull the trigger. Luckily, the DA revolver she had learned to shoot had no external safety in the mix, so despite pulling the trigger more than once there was no boom before he was able to wrestle it away from her.
