Ah, wonderful! Thanks to you finally making things so clear, I can now retroactively toss away the many years of incredible fun and exciting sports driving I had in my RX-8! I can’t believe I kidded myself all that time, obviously missing out on all the problems you mentioned, pissing and moaning on things that I…

I've been part of a dance community for the past four years. Turns out that I get to play with my hippie self here, and it's a drug-and-alcohol free environment (for the most part). Since I'm in recovery, that's key for me.

There are lots of dances that just don't demand a certain pattern or look. Instead, the…

How fast is too fast? This seems like too fast.

In recovery, we can often use a simple starting point of "HALT" - Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. If I'm _any_ of these things, that's a good thing to tend to. They are simple elements, and essential.

Not to be a shill, but Mark Waldman's work (http://neurowisdom.com) specifically focuses on developing "working memory". One of the main priorities is to "reduce stress" (i.s. "How to Deal with Pressure"). Also, as it's meditative in its roots, it's grounded in "practice". This work has helped me.

Thanks, Melanie, for sharing your story, and for bringing this touchy subject into the realm of discussion in a reasonable, accessible way. Education, and sharing experiences like yours, can help progress towards these issues on so many levels.

Not weird at all. Some say that, underneath all substance and process addictions is codependence, where we are overly dependent on others for our sense of self. This is the realm of Al-Anon and CODA.

Totally off topic, but what's with this URL that leads to this story?!?

Ah, here are instructions (from clicking the "?" to the right of the Download link):

I used ES File Explorer to see the path that Eric described. I had to use the "Settings > Advanced > Export Theme" function to create an "Exported" folder.

After all that, though, and putting both a zipped and unzipped copy of the downloaded theme, I still didn't see the "Exported" option under "My Themes".

I rankle at the use of such absolute verbiage in the title of this article, and I'm pointing at Lifehacker, as the original article owned that the findings were hers. She wrote an article that accounted for her own findings, and titled it as a fair warning of what she found.

Learning to become comfortable in that discomfort is a life skill, just like any other. For me, the first step was to practice "acceptance", becoming aware that things are exactly as they are in the moment, and that I didn't have to (and often couldn't) change things.

Depression is just one of many mood disorders. People that are "miserable" may be struggling with another ailment. Emotional trauma (neglect, abuse, etc...) may be a part of their history, poor upbringings, addiction... all of these may be involved.

Start one up! It's easy, just pick a setlist of songs you want to dance to, and get some people together. If you want other guidelines, I'd be happy to pull some together for you. There are some amazing people around that would be happy to share.

Consider a "Barefoot Dance" or "Dance Jam". November will be two years for me, and I've had so much fun, connecting with myself, my dance, and other super cool people. Here in Encinitas, we dance on Sundays from 11a-1p, then spend the rest of the day until sunset at a beach park as a community. We also dance on…

I was shocked by the first picture, to see a whole lot of G35 in the composition of the side and rear quarter. I'm still sitting with it before passing judgement.

I happened to watch this recently; John Cleese on being creative. He offers structured, experienced advice.

I don't care how bad the show is; I'd happily work on it if it meant I could have a day job driving for fun.

He crushed the seat.
