    Favorite Twitter Feeds?

    Anyone have a favorite feed? I just found a new one today, that I wouldn't exactly call a favorite, as it's kind of depressing to read - @YesYoureRacist. Most of the rest of mine are computer security feeds.

    Deploying ... maybe

    Just a request for prayer. I was expecting to retire this year, since I think I'm getting my second pass-over for promotion. However, I just got tagged for a deployment. I'm not expecting to go unless I'm actually promoted, which would be a huge surprise (0-5% chance.) Ordinarily, this would...

    Ugh - when is it over???

    Just need to vent. Major drama this weekend because I declined to sign a mortgage modification for the ex. It lowers her payment by about $100, but since it does that by extending the loan a year and lowering the interest to 2%, I will be stuck to her for another 26 years because she will have...

    Roth or Traditional IRA

    What's the consensus on which to choose if you are currently in a middle tax bracket: 25%? I expect to get a higher income have I retire from the military and be elevated to a higher marginal bracket, but I have no clue how to predict my tax bracket once I'm really retired.

    Certifications

    I'm about to retire from the Air Force, and have collected a few certifications along the way. For those that have any kinds of certs, how have they helped you? Have you maintained them? Was it worth the cost?

    Same house ... new spouse. Would you do it?

    I am having some difficulty with some weird feelings. I still own one of the houses I lived in with my ex-wife - it's in another state, rented out. I intend to retire from the Air Force in the very near future, and my gf and I will probably be married and moving back to the city my house is in...

    Prayer

    One of our members needs prayer right now. I'm not going to share more for privacy issues, but I do believe in these circumstances, God hears even when you're not sure what to pray for.

    Mini-stroke

    My ex-gf had a mini-stroke on Friday. There's not supposed to be any permanent damage from mini-strokes, but she's freaked out because her foot doesn't work right. Please pray for a quick recovery.

    What was your first "place of your own" like?

    Piggybacking on the first car thread - what was your first place of your own like? Not counting dormitories, unless you've got a cool story - then bring it! I joined the Air Force after I ran out of college money, and lived in the barracks for a little over a year. I was offered BAQ (money for...

    Opening presents ... with the ex

    Wow, I'm surprised this is even a question, but maybe I'm just completely wrong. My ex and I have 4 kids. She is still dating/not dating the guy I suspect she was seeing when she asked for the divorce, and I absolutely cannot stand to be in the room with him. I'm also seeing someone myself...
