When I saw Kate Bush in London two years ago (brag brag) she put out an memo before the shows saying absolutely no phones were to be tolerated. The fact that she hadn’t done a concert in 35 years made people listen.

A friend-of-a-friend went to college with the house manager or stage manager or s/t. She emailed her and got the one sentence response “Interesting to see who comes out of the woodworks...”

Would love it if they could figure out what to do about all the fucking rape that happens in the military before they start drafting women.

If I’d known two years ago that the boy I was about to go on a date with was the type of man who buys Good Charlotte and Blink 182 vinyl anniversary reissues, I bet I would have cancelled. But I’m glad I didn’t, and I’m glad there’s a part of him that likes Peter Paul and Mary and Pete Seeger so we have stuff to…

My sober women are my everything. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t call, text, or hang with a sober woman. Fuck, I mean I met my wonderful roommate in the rooms. And my best friend. Sober women are incredible.

Many cities have meetings classified as “We Agnostic” meetings for that very reason. They are based on the chapter in the big book with the same title. http://www.aa.org/assets/en_US/e…

Not a stupid question! I’ll point you in the direction of the 12 traditions, aka the “rules” of AA, but basically - No Jesus, Yes God, but God can be whatever you want it to be. It’s just a common word fellows use to describe what each person independently finds to be a power greater than themselves. AA is…

Absolutely! Generally you’re encouraged not to share on a group level if you’ve had booze in the last 24 hours but many people go to meetings just to hear the experience, strength, and hope of others. I know non-alcoholics who go to AA meetings when they travel just so they have a place to be around honest, helpful…

I’d encourage you to read the chapter in the Big Book of AA (available in its entirety for free online) titled “We Agnostics.”

I’d like to let anyone reading this know that there are AA meetings across every town and country at every time of day. You don’t have to pay any money to attend a meeting or even give anyone your real name. All it costs you is an hour (sometimes an hour and a half) of your time.

Yeah my first thought was “What a great opportunity for the teachers/parents to explain what the first amendment REALLY means.”

I had the joy of meeting Mr. Simmons in 2012. He was doing something at the offices I worked at and he stopped at each person’s desk and asked for a hug. He was intermittently laughing and crying. I don’t think anyone got any work done after he visited because we were all riding high off of it.

It’s also desensitizing to see it at point-of-sale registers from the time you can pick out your own candy bar. Turn ‘em around, I say.

I will say, I know a lot of people who had never heard of ALS before the Ice Bucket Challenge. My uncle has it and I’ve had to explain what it is for a long time and suddenly people were talking about this actually-pretty-unknown disease. And people I know with ALS were able to get significant help because of the…

It definitely isn’t satire as she posted a pic of her show’s crew all decked in orange as well.

Reached out to a buddy who works on the show. Will update as soon as I have info.

A gun saved her life from... a gun.

My bf is of the chubby/bearded/witty/geeky/manly category. We met on Tinder and have been together for two years. It’ll happen for ya bud.
