My boy got himself a "white" girl with sort of that kind of body, turns out she's biracial. Basically her parents were both Oreos and she came out white looking mostly like her folks.

Now my boy is heb as gently caress, I figured their kids were gonna be born with bifocals, IBS, and a reasonably well diversified investment portfolio.

Let's just say his son has the darkest year round tan you've ever seen a kid have, and water beads the gently caress up off his well braided hair. His daughter looks like Annie in black face, too.

Parents couldn't look or be more white if they tried.

It's so loving lol to me when the gorillas appear in the genetic mist like this and just throw a monkey wrench in some WASPy families whole works.

I was all like "hahahaha where is your God now Avi, you are raising a previcted criminal haha, look here is a teavana gift card you race betraying yuppy gently caress." at some party for them muddying the collective genetic waters (I thought in my mind not said out loud lol I'm not that crass). This was years ago, around trayvawn time (rip) Then I started taking meds and going to therapy and now I understand why that thinking was inappropriate, even though true and somewhat thoughtful.

What I don't think most people realize is that Frank is a loving monster of a dog. I kinda feel he's more than enough security (not that we honestly need much) for the trail, dude. Frank likes me and he still gives me pause when his giant rear end starts moving fast or for your door haha.

Speaking of, we're at the vet getting checked up and vaccinated. Apparently he's a shy pisser.

I'm expecting him to clock in around 70-75 pounds. Big bastard.

E: 74.6 pounds. That's a little big for a border collie. Got the lyme disease vaccination and he has a booster in 3 weeks.

I have never had a dog that doesn't mind the vet. The gently caress Frank.

long hair, like golden retriever long. he has never had a trim, just gets hooked out every once in a while (it's been a few weeks, he's not shedding a drat thing right now), but even the vet said his coat was fine. All around he's in great health.

I think the average for females is between 45-60 pounds and males are 55-70 pounds, but larger isn't rare. Frank is not going to be jumping off my back for a frisbee any time soon, but he's definitely the biggest border I've seen. Girlfriend's got a friend somewhere downtown that has one pushing 90 pounds, probably a good 2 inches taller at the shoulder and 6 inches longer tip to tail, and I think she said it's just over 2 years old. Frank's 18 months-ish.

I kinda hope he shoots out to saint bernard size but I know he's not going to, his growth may get him a little taller or longer, but he's pretty much full size now.

Goddamn VA screwed up my meds. Again. Not sure what the gently caress they sent me, but it sure as gently caress wasn't prazosin hcl.

Sent me into a 2 month sadbrains/madbrains sine-wave episode full of weird thoughts and poo poo. Cue the VA changing up my medications and poo poo trying to figure out what it was, including a new doctor that has decided that anyone under 60 who needs narcotic painkillers is just an addict who's selling the pills so gently caress you, no painkiller for you, and you shouldn't smoke pot because it's illegal by federal law and your green card doesn't count and she's tired of all these WoT guys and Desert Storm guys clogging up her schedule with their complaints, and all kind of poo poo, including going to the Portland VA where the doctor was a complete oval office who dislocated my shoulder and then tried to blame me for it, all the whole time I'm taking the wrong meds because some hung-over clock punching fucktard in the pharmacy couldn't bother making sure I got the right loving meds so I had a bad case of sadbrains.

Thankfully, right before Christmas, my tech has me bring in ALL my loving pill bottles, is looking at them, and says: "This poo poo ain't the right pills." Cancels all my prescriptions, gets me new ones he walks up to the pharmacy with me to get, then tells me to go home, smoke up, and hide in my room for a day or two till I get used to the new meds.

Spend 3 days throwing up, dizzy, and feeling like I'm drunk without the good parts.

Now my head's clear, and I don't feel like mowing the lawn at 2AM on my riding lawnmower is a good idea.

It may not be interracial, but it is black and white.
Just did a follow up appointment at the VA the other week. Had to see a neurologist, but instead of making me drive 250 miles to the VA hospital, I only had to go 70 miles to a VA clinic so I could Skype with the doctor. He had never even heard of my condition so he googled it before my appointment and was making treatment suggestions based on what he read on the internet, but since he wasn't able to do a physical exam he wanted me to make an appointment to come back to the clinic two days later to see my nurse PCM. They ended up giving me some new prescription that is used for epilepsy (which is not even remotely like what I have) and side effects include suicidal/homicidal thoughts and actions. I suppose clearing my sinuses with a 45 is one way to treat my condition doc, thanks.

Tomorrow morning gotta leave by 6am to go 300 and some miles for my C&P exam on the other side of the state. Still better than when they scheduled it on the wrong side of the country 3 months ago, but kinda feels a little like bullshit. When I was at Ft Gordon in Georgia and did my first round of C&P exams a few years ago there was a VA clinic and a VA hospital right there in town, but instead the VA paid for me to go to a contracted doctor for the exam. Now when there aren't any VA facilities remotely nearby I absolutely have to go to a VA hospital to get it done and to top it off at least one of my C&P appointments there is just another skype appointment with a doctor.

Those who were never in the military hate that they have to do things for vets.

Those who are vets hate vets who got busted up or actually did anything.

Vietnam Vets think that everyone after them had it easy and the world should suck their dicks. They feel like they could have beaten Iraq and Afghanistan in 90 days and the young guys are incompentant and don't deserve care.

Cold War/Desert Storm Vets hate everyone because the Vietnam guys have treated them like poo poo for 20 years and feel like everyone bends over backwards for the WoT guys by cancelling their appointments and telling them that they never saw a real war.

WoT guys hate everyone else for acting like they couldn't do poo poo right. They hate the Desert Storm guys because of loud mouths bragging about 90 hour war. They hate the entitlement of the Vietnam guys.

Everyone hates the civilians, who feel like the troops are liars, whiners, and drug addicts.

The doctors are mad because they are expected to work.

The best part was was when they did an audit and found like THIRTY loving THOUSAND guys getting 100% ratings had NEVER EVEN BEEN IN THE MILITARY, and almost 100,000 never actually were in Vietnam but were like National Guard or Reservists, and were drawing 100%.

When the VA tried to clean it up, the Vietnam Vet organizations all moved in lockstep screaming "U JUST ERASING OUR WAR!"

And so almost 150K motherfuckers are pulling 100% and not even losing the rating or doing jail time.

daily show did a bit last year about a guy that never served, injured a toe or something in an academy, then finagled his way into a 10% rating years later to take advantage of specific government contracts that give priority to veteran-owned businesses. that gently caress should have whatever he was getting a rating for, cut off on national television. imagine if c-span just randomly threw in poo poo like that, their ratings would skyrocket.

How?

A bro of mine worked claims for the VA a few years back and he told me about a dude that had surgery on his sack while he was in the army and ended up with a small (centimeter or two) scar on his bag. He claimed that this scar, not the surgery, had completely destroyed his confidence and that he was severely depressed as a result and could no longer function normally. Motherfucker got 100%.

I've also met several guys that have lied about having PTSD and received ratings of 70%+ just based saying the right things and claiming the right symptoms (having a CIB/CAB makes this way easy). Haven't heard any bogus 100s for PTSD firsthand, but I'm sure they're out there.

edit: as for the people that never served and got ratings, it's probably a combination of lovely VA people not doing their jobs properly and turds showing up with fake paperwork or other people's information.
