Hello, my lovely eHa Community!

I just looked at my reflection and discovered that the said reflection has been assigned a tag of a "Veteran". I liked being a "Quick Study", and I didn't even mind being an "Enthusiast", but a "Veteran" so soon???

I'm only 36 and this particular refection of mine is only a couple of months old at the most. Neither of us were expecting to be called a Veteran at this young and impressionable age, so we both entered Veteran Identity Crisis Stage and require some emotional humorous support from our Community at large.

Our main questions are:
1. Is being a Veteran a good or a bad thing (for either myself or my refection)?
2. Would you date someone, who is called a "Veteran" or do you think it may reflect negatively on Our dating experience?
3. How do We cope with this situation without resorting to seek help from Dating Veteran Affairs?
4. Is there a support group We can join for people going through similar crisis?
5. Can someone please recommend a good self-help book or at least an article for Us to read? Preferably one that clearly outlines all the 20 steps required to cope with the situation?

Can all of you please give reasons with your answers. And always feel free and cheer up one or both of Us, please!

Thanks in advance

PS. Suggestions to get a life and stop posting on eHa for a while will not be taken into consideration. The only way out is to post more to get to a new level, whatever that may be...

Being a veteran of the U.S. Navy myself, I consider it a good thing.

2. Would you date someone, who is called a "Veteran" or do you think it may reflect negatively on Our dating experience?
My SO is a veteran (Mostly in CSC).

3. How do We cope with this situation without resorting to seek help from Dating Veteran Affairs?
Cynicism works best for me.

4. Is there a support group We can join for people going through similar crisis?
Yes. Join the group 'Completely Stupid Conversations'. It'll grow on ya real quick.

5. Can someone please recommend a good self-help book or at least an article for Us to read? Preferably one that clearly outlines all the 20 steps required to cope with the situation?
No books are available for this conundrum. Again, join the CSC group. All the answers to anything you need to know can be found there.

Can all of you please give reasons with your answers. And always feel free and cheer up one or both of Us, please!

Thanks in advance

Guaranteed that once you become an accepted member of CSC, you will soon gravitate to a higher level than Veteran.
Any more questions?

I may have more questions, but you only seem to have one answer

And do I sound like someone, who is in need of more stupid conversations?

Our main questions are:
1. Is being a Veteran a good or a bad thing (for either myself or my refection)? I have never considered it a bad thing. I am not a veteran but my dad was (of WWII) and I was quite proud of him.
2. Would you date someone, who is called a "Veteran" or do you think it may reflect negatively on Our dating experience? I never have dated a board veteran though I certainly would not let that get in the way. None of my matches has even ever heard of the Advice boards.
3. How do We cope with this situation without resorting to seek help from Dating Veteran Affairs? Post more. The more you post you will eventually move from being a Veteran to something else. I am a Power Poster myself and I think that may be as high as you can go.
4. Is there a support group We can join for people going through similar crisis? Your support group is right here.
5. Can someone please recommend a good self-help book or at least an article for Us to read? Preferably one that clearly outlines all the 20 steps required to cope with the situation? You might try Romancing the Web. It is a book with a 10 step program.

Can all of you please give reasons with your answers. And always feel free and cheer up one or both of Us, please!

Thanks in advance

I am not sure why you need cheering up you are surrounded and communicating with the greatest group of people around

I think its a great thing and cant wait to get there! haha

Why not date one? More experiance the better right?

3. How do We cope with this situation without resorting to seek help from Dating Veteran Affairs?
I'm gonna look for CSC and see what thats all about.

4. Is there a support group We can join for people going through similar crisis?
Idk but let me know if you find out

I don't see anything wrong with dating a Veteran. After all, they have served our Nation and deserve to be recognized as such. I don't think it should be considered baggage if someone is a Veteran. Just my two cents.

Well, Thank You kindly, PDS (I won't even try to translate your initials until I return to normal!)

Let me attempt an explanation -
The reason you find me and the Frog funny is because, while we are as different as night and day, we are currently both suffering from the same condition of Temporary Lunacy.

I'm trying to figure out whether I'm a Sweet Moon flavor of Ice Cream or Sweetly Insane Veteran of Lunacy. And this unruly bunch around here are only trying to entice me to CSC to make my condition permanent, but only because most of them have already reached the stage of Completely Stupefying Conscious Lunacy (and I hear this condition is resistant to all known treatments on Earth). A support group indeed!

D_Lion, on the other hand, is trying to figure out whether he is a Stalwartly Lion, who likes his Ladies measured in multiples of D (or maybe D stands for Dreaming), or whether he is still an Evolving Lion Frog from the French Forest. But I think he might get to see the Wizard soon and find out, and then we'll all have even more crazy kind of fun with him around here.

So, Warm Welcome to the Lunatic Madness of eHa! Enjoy, but use protection and stay safe! Otherwise you may quickly get infected with temporary bouts of sweet and funny lunacy, which can in turn become a permanent condition of Complete and Utter Insanity, just as soon as you receive the honorable title of a Veteran.

Lots of love from the Moon and stay sweet and cool!

Maybe you shouldn't knock lunacy (especially since you aren't sure you're not). When it comes to support groups, what one finds supportive might not be for others. Many have found solace in the humor of CSC. Not that I'm enticing anyone to join. The group is not for the faint of heart.

You might find yourself in the position to realize what a supportive group they are

Let me guess... you're "the wizard"? Dream on.

Lunatic, [COLOR=Blue]please answer your door. There are some men here from your planet. You are wanted for questioning.

Your visa has been revoked... have a safe trip.
