Study: We aim to study how families of veterans deal with challenging times!

The Family Flex Study is being conducted by researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University, we want to hear from spouses and children (aged 11-17) of veterans (anyone who has previously completed service in the active military, naval, or air service and was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable).

The study will be conducted completely online via zoom and comprises 3 visits, each visit will be 2 hours long (1-hour for adults, 1-hour for adolescents). For the full visit, your family will be able to claim $205 for participation for completing all study procedures including three time points within a year ($60 per family per visit or $30 per person per visit once both visits are completed).

We appreciate your time and commitment for our research! We look forward to seeing you in the study soon.

Happy Veterans Day my dudes!

I’m not gonna put anything inspiring or anything like that today. Just take a moment when you can to remember our fallen brothers and sisters.

Got off work this AM ready for bed. Get home, wife has claimed every square inch of blanket. No big deal, I have woobie. Woobie is not in its designated spot. Panic sets in. Find three different blankets. Anger sets in. Go back to wife to wake her up. She must pay for fucking with my woobie. Noticed blurry green blob sitting on my pillow through my fog of anger. Refrain from waking wife up. Reunited like a lost puppy with its owner. I am complete again. Wife set it out for me knowing it would be cold when I got home. This woman gets me.

And why did their prices go up so much in the past 2 years? I moved and came back so excited to get down on Josie's and the one by tech is the one I used the most.

I'm gonna go fishing Sunday morning at Dunbar lake. Sending an open invite to anybody who wants to go.
