Erythema Nodosum? Suspected Illness Decides to Drop-In on Life

Image
I wake up one day in my bed wondering randomly, “Okay what is today going to have in store for me?” Instinctively, I must have just known something was wrong. It was a Thursday.    I was in my backyard cleaning up pine, branches, trimmed up the lilacs and raked the yard. Like any other day I do any yard work, I took my allergy medicine.    I was okay with the exception of the regular hot shower needed afterword. Friday progressed as any other day but I started to feel achy, more than normal.    Maybe it was the cold from Autumn setting in.     Who knows?!    Get some rest and maybe Saturday will be better. When my days turned excruciating began when standing on my feet.    When a person lives daily with extreme amounts of pain, pain really doesn’t have very many levels of severity anymore.    But oh my knees. They just hurt but I just figured maybe because of the cold. Picture for effect “erythem...

Left Abroad Helpless by the Army

Image
We all hear the same cliche stories.  A young woman meets a man in the military and finds her "Officer and a Gentleman" fairy tale.  They will get married, have a couple kids, and be happily ever after.  At least that's what people used to think.  A man ( or woman) in uniform has to be an honorable one.  They would never do anything to hurt you. Imagine you are a woman who has lived this exact tale.  She married the man of her would-be dreams and has children.  One day he has the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Germany for the last stint of his career.  Do something bigger and better "for the family".  She happily sacrifices her job, they sell their home, they do everything to move themselves AND their possessions to the new duty station in Germany.  Wow, that's quite the trip and a bit of culture shock I can imagine. A year goes by and the wife is unable to find employment.  Visas alone cause conflict because they often a...

Child's Birthday Turns to Airman's Sinister Goals or Ulterior Motives?

Attention Readers, you are going to love this one. Closer and Closer we get...just one base, not even everyone else that is a reader or victim. An abuser has caught wind of my blog currently exposing Domestic Violence, stalking and abuse in the military- go figure, right?  What happened? What bothered you more?  Did you see a picture of you violating military law or maybe it was the pictures that I took that show you have been stalking your spouse?  I have tons of pictures and videos even where that came from. Funny, I've been a witness of stalking for months where authorities were refusing to take my reports, but now an abuser gets exposed publicly from a first hand witness, goes into a family court attempting to claim that I am a threat to them in their divorce case and as such mother has been ordered to not leave their county for fear of what I as a witness will come forward with.  HMMMMM... A family court judge willfully concealing knowing a crime exists?...

Fun Pumpkin Patching on a Budget

Image
I was able to have some at home fun on a next to no budget idea with the children. Ingredients for this Project: *Mini Gourds of your choice *Variety of Nail Polish of your choice- PICK ANY COLORS YOU LIKE (Dollar Tree works for this) *A large bowl that is either easy to wash or one you can toss out. *Water- Fill the Bowl just enough to cover the height of the gourd when you dip ...and Nail Polish Acetone for the cleanup after.  It will get messy and sticky I happened to have these items on the shelf already so I only needed a few mini gourds to get started. There is nothing special to this easy fun with the kiddos.  Pick your colors, any at all.  Drizzle the color in any pattern or design in the water you like.  You will dunk the gourd in the water THROUGH the polish and the colors will stick to the gourd on their own.  You can play around with the colors and designs.  Your imagination is the only limit you have...

Read the Black & White: Family Obligation Abusers in the Air Force

If you are a spouse going through a separation or divorce and your spouse is a service member, then you know exactly what I am about to share with you, or at least are likely starting to see what I will mention here. The military is set up in a way that is suppose to regulate the conduct of its members.  But what do they do when the family unit is no longer effective?  Yes indeed there are regulations for that too.  Or is there?  You will be the one to decide. Everyone knows a service member gets allotments (extra money) for housing and service dependents.  Although the amounts vary from one scenario to the next and can vary based on whether you live off base or not, the idea is generally the same.  The military doesn't want their service members struggling for housing and to take care of their families while they are working and "serving their country".  We don't need to get into semantics of how much or on what basis, but here is a webpage wher...

Military brats or just brats?

Image
Do you know where your children are?   Better yet, do you know WHO your children are?  Military Brats are a unique breed of “b-r-a-t” if an upper hand parent doesn’t keep an eye on their kids.  Morale vs. parenting, the uniform versus family, and the general idea of “can a service member exercise control over their family”.  If a Colonel or Commander can’t keep their kid under wraps, you think law enforcement is going to do anything?  Remember that little thing I mentioned before about a “MoU”?  Military Brats often times are raised to believe today that they are above the law.  Behavior nightmare house of horrors here we come.  Let’s bring the military issues back to core values, shall we? I did some digging into who exactly is running one little Air Base in a small town.  Names are public therefore their lives have NO privacy.  You’d be surprised how google can be so helpful in finding out what kind of parent, if at all, some...

Is there a Motive to Scare Civilian Spouses? You decide

One San Diego Base decides most recently that it will take on the practice of intimidating spouses or allowing harassment and lies to be spread across their close knit world.  Unfortunately, this is not isolated to just one base in the area. Family Advocacy has its many purposes. I wholeheartedly believe that it was a program much needed, however the disparities of treatment for spouses and for the service members are proving to be greater than ever anticipated.  I would like to believe that good people saw a huge problem, the exact problems I am identifying here even, and decided the Armed Forces needed more to help stop it from happening.  I'd also like to believe that these same good people desperately wanted to stop the violence.  There are some really good people operating these programs and the problems from what I can tell run deeper than the program itself.   A program intended to independently operate should not be "reporting to command" or...

Shame, Shame- What's your name?

     I've had readers already ask if maybe I have something to prove regarding all I have been uncovering. The questions asked vary slightly but send the same message. The question is this:      Do I have something against the military? Absolutely not! Quite to the contrary, I just have a problem with corrupt people when I see it or experience it firsthand. And anyone who knows me well enough knows already that idling in observation is not without strategy and careful documenting to protect myself and those I care about, or even the mission at hand.      Why do I allow anonymous names right now on some people and not on others? Right now at this moment in certain situations, people that go out of their way to make themselves a "public figure" even for a day are subject to the microscope they placed themselves under. Just because someone wears a nice suit doesn't make them a good person. Sure the same I'm sure could try to ...

Uniform Privileges Violate Victims

Image
If you ever thought you would be intimidated in your personal life, imagine what it is like to be intimidated in a courtroom by those who are sworn to protect and defend our Constitution.  People have heard of the everyday “bully”.  People have even heard of the typical child-on-child bully.  Pretty much a common past time for any parent, right?  What if instead of being a bully, we just redefine what this is altogether?  So let’s paint the scenario. Imagine you are going through a divorce in the average Family Courthouse.  Now in the two party placeholders lay a spouse and a military service-member.  Who files for divorce first is really irrelevant in this scenario.  Now, imagine if EVERY time you go to court in that nice little primped up outfit of yours, on the opposite side of the courtroom stands a tall person, oh NOT in a suit, but instead in his dress uniforms.  That’s right, you read that accurately- in their military uniform. ...
