Just Curious, How many of you joined in your 30s and 40s?

I myself joined when I was 18 and did 8ish years. Hearing of the new age cap has me wondering what it would have been like to joined so late in life and being surrounded by so many younger folks.

Right now 48 year old me is settled in life and could not imagine the military life.

"Moving On" by Larry McMurtry

Like a lot of folks, my introduction to Larry McMurtry was his novel Lonesome Dover, which is on my top 5 novels of all time. I finished the series, and then added to my TBR his novel "Moving On". Last night I finished it, and I am not going to lie, I think it had a bigger impact on me than Lonesome Dove did.

I think it's probably due to being married now for over 20 years, and understanding the challenges that come along with it. For the story to not have an overarching plot, I found it kept me feeling anxious, and would often times catch me off guard. Such an amazing book that I would recommend to anyone.

What do you all do for a living to be able to afford home prices in Bismarck?

I live in the DFW area of Texas, and spent some of my childhood in Bismarck and have family there. What blows me away is how the home prices seem to be very similar to the prices here. I am just curious what job market exists in the area to allow that.

In now way is this post to pass judgement.

Found out my wife got NAD + from a website called System Labs

Not going to lie I expressed my concern mainly due to supply chain issues. She says they are "US Based" but I explained that anyone can say anything online.

Im not telling my wife what she can and cannot do but man, injecting stuff you buy online seems skecth.

Do any of you live in condos like the Majestic Towers?

What's it like? Looking for pros and cons to it. I've been dabbling with the idea of potentially moving to PCB and really love when we stay in ocean side condos

Miss Carrie June

Holy shit, the fake Christian stuff, the fake trying to get pregnant stuff, the fake "I am going to randomly put 100 dollars in a bunch of different baby goods in Walmart stuff...

Seeing the comments from random women calling her an inspiration and good Christian, not to realize she's just promoting her OF is cringe as hell.

Sorry, she came up on my feed and I feel gross lol

Aphrodite Jones on Telephone Stories

Jesus she comes across smug, and just fake as hell. Especially when she was asked about Jordie Chandler's mom's testimony, and her "well I can't know if they were, or were not molested, I just know the case in 2005 didn't happen. "

Or her saying she saw the prosecution celebrating
