Anyone else remember this DAPA poster from 2007?

This poster was designed by a South Carolina University for their campus, but during westpac 07 on CVN-74, out DAPA put them everywhere.

They didn’t last more than a month because of the backlash (how could either consent?)

Supporters of the poster said it’s not “fair”, but it is “reality”.

Wondering how this would fly today?

Today is my 48th birthday.

I think I’m looking for advice. I’ve been a longstanding member of the “age is just a number” crowd, but today kind of hit me.

I still feel 17 in my head. I’ve always dated around my age, but the only difference is anyone under 35 looks like they’re 12 to me, including my doctor lol.

I was in the military for 25 years, got blown up, and retired at 42. Never had an “adult” job and I was around 18 year olds my whole adult life.

I dunno. Maybe I’m just in a midlife crisis. What say you?

Check out the board I got for my 48th birthday.

Daily skater for 36+ years. My partner got me a deck with custom graphics of my kids, my dog, and me skating. It’s an 8.3, which has been my board size for a decade. It’s going straight onto my wall. Best gift I’ve ever gotten.

I don’t think the chief wanted to be there.

Extra credit if you know what this command is. Recommend zooming in.

Having a hard time with cross dominance

It’s weird trying to figure out a stance when I’m left-eye and left foot dominant, but I throw a baseball righty and write with my right. But I shoot a rifle and a basketball lefty. It’s been annoying my whole life. Basically when I try something new I gotta figure out if I’m going to do it righty or lefty first.

In regular stance, my power hand is missing a pinky and I’m not right footed. Southpaw fits my left foot, but my left punch just isn’t power. Feels like whatever I pick, I’m fighting myself first.

This was normal in the 90s, and borderline expected in the 80s…

Update on my dog (she’s going to be ok)

Thank you all for responding. My dog is ok and doing better.

We went to Wilvet based on your advice. The techs and the doctors were wonderful.

She has a stomach infection (Gastroenteritis). She was already on a prescription diet, but I guess things can just happen. It caused sudden lethargy, pain, and… other stomach issues. She got medication for pain and nausea/GI, antibiotics, and a full bag of IV fluid (that’s the bump on her back).

All of her bloodwork and scans came back healthy.

I appreciate everyone’s concern, everyone is going to be ok, and I think I’ll be financially ok. She’s worth it.

(I deleted the original post)

I might need an emergency vet in South Salem

My close to 15 year old service dog is having issues. I’ve been her handler since she was 2. We are both retired bomb techs that served in Afghanistan.

I do not have insurance, I do not care. I need a really good 24/7 veterinarian.

Thank you.

UPDATE: we’re at Wilvet. Thank you. No news is good news.

Happy Independence Day to the Greatest Navy and Marine Force the World Has Ever Seen!

THAT was our flag on 4th of July, 1776. The third photo depicts John Paul Jones raising our battle flag shortly after our Declaration.

BONUS QUESTION: THE LAST PHOTO. what year and war was this flag our Ensign? The 15 stripes and star placement are NOT a mistake!

THANK YOU ALL FOR PROTECTING MY FREEDOM IN CIVLANT!!!

Found Dog

UPDATE: owner found. Thank you all for your help, the dog is safely back home. Mods feel free to delete.

Neighbors outside were yelling about a loose dog that was acting aggressive. I’m a dog handler and I got her safely into my backyard using my dog. There is a collar but no tag, I walked her around my neighborhood with zero response, while knocking on doors.

I’ve already notified Salem Animal Control and I agreed to house this dog for several hours. After that I’m calling back animal control for removal.

Thank you.

Custody Lawyer Recommendations Please

My partner is divorced from an abusive ahole.

They have 100% custody, their ex is a trust fund kid who is literally in jail for assaulting women.

He’s not paid child support, like ever, they were married awhile, my partner is now seeking payment. They have two kids, one adult (got it), one child (he needs to pay).

Any lawyers reading this: Again, this is a father, in jail for abusing women, who has a trust fund, who is not paying anything towards the minor child’s needs.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Maggie (14yo), assumes her natural position after breakfast.

We have a routine, lol. 12 years together, she likes to take a nap before our walk.
