Thursday, May 28th, 2009
So i'm going to Germany, Paris, and London in five days. I need to know what you can put in your Carrier that you bring on the plane with you (Like the one bag you can bring to your seat) Well i need to know what not to put in there (i dont want the airport to take any of my stuff) Can i bring candy? My cell phone? A book? My MP3?
Here are some other questions. Can i wear metal necklaces, earrings, rings, a studded belt and not have the metal detector go off? I'm getting really nervous it would be great if someone he has gone to different countries for a long time to answer these or knows what not to put in the carrier and what to wear.
Thank you so much!!

Open Question: Am I eligible for VA DISABILITY?
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
this is probably a stupid question cause im just an x navy guy. but i was wondering if i was eligible for any disability for panic attacks stress and anxiety attacks or PTSD.
i was a plane captain that worked on aircraft carriers. i was involved in OEF OIF and Operation Anaconda. All of these sorties our jets dropped bombs. Every time my aircrew would return to the carrier they would debrief and i would join them in watching their bomb run videos. seeing up close people being burnt to a crisp and blown into mush puppets. as they called them "the bad guys". i also had one of my planes crash during a landing on board the carrier where the plane loaded with bombs and missiles almost hit the flight deck. also another time where the front wheel on a prowler flew off on recovery and whizzed right by me barely missing me and nailing a yellow shirt down the l.a.(landing area). now i keep having reoccurring dreams about them and i cannot sleep. i cannot be in big crowds and i get panic attacks and chest pain ALOT!!! i haven't been to the VA in 3 years. i haven't held a steady job since the military. i have sleeping problems where i am late to everything cause i cannot fall asleep at night thinking about those bomb videos and other close calls. the military cause a divorce that i had to go through while i was underway to say the least and i tried drinking myself to death and taking pills when i came back to land only to get busted down in rank. i hate alot of people for no reason, bosses, employees i work around, race or no race, if they didn't serve i don't want to be around shit bags. and for some reason i hate some Americans and how fucked up our country is. but anyways enough of my stupid issues, i would hate to go to the v.a. and ask for help when i know there are better service men than me that lost limbs and were actually shot at. but would i be eligible and who should i talk to?
Resolved Question: Traveling with two hamsters?
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
So here's the deal.
I'm travelling 6 hours by bus and I have to take two syrian hamsters with me. The thing is, you're not allowed to have any pets on the bus and I'm bringing several bags of luggage. I have a CritterTrail Mini 2 cage I use as a carrier for my one hamster and I put it in a tote, leaving the zipper open a little. As for where I can put the other hamster, I have the cardboard carrying box I brought him home in and his cage, which is a tote, but he'd have to be put under the bus, which I don't feel safe with at all.
What can I do with the other hamster to make travelling okay for him, but also not make him noticeable?
I'd be really scared putting them together.
One syrian is a bit bigger than the other and he might hurt him and when I move I'm not coming back.
I'm carrying a big suitcase, lap top case, back pack, small suitcase, tote, purse, and bag with hamster. I can't get another tote and cage... too much.
