Luckily my dad decided to check himself into a local facility when he decided to quit alcohol (somewhat ironically, he knew about the place and how helpful it was only because I’d checked myself in twice for suicidal ideations and depression). When he went into DTs the second day, they had him transferred to the local…

It’s complicated for those guys.

Addiction is a terrible disease and one so filled with shame that it’s not uncommon to want to deal with it alone. So incredibly sad. Fuck addiction. Fuck the stigmas surrounding addiction. Rest in power, Nelsan.

RN here: I’ve seen quite a few people literally do that exact thing—Walk into the ER, say “I’m trying to quit drinking and I’ll go into DTs.” They get admitted, get sedation, and hopefully come out the other side a week or so later. It’s not easy, but please don’t be ashamed of doing it that way if yoy want to detox!

There might have been benzos involved too. Benzo withdrawal is even more dangerous:(

Ah, so you mean all the responses I got saying things just happened were off base?

Sanderson published three books in the time it took you to post that.

While I’m with you on Headley’s acting prowess, I think Cersei’s been around as long as she has so she can A) suffer the prophecy the witch told her about when she was a girl that she would see all over children die. And B) She’s really the only standing (bad) Lannister at this point to put up a fight at King’s…

Cersie kinda seems like a third wheel, but again, it’s because Headey is just too good that the producers won’t let her character go

If you have the means, detox is best handled in a professional environment.
It puts enormous stresses on the body and not always something you should white knuckle.

RIP Nelsan

Calling these kids “models” is being generous. They’re rich kids who have private photo shoots for their instagrams. That’s a thing, but its not modeling.

Shanna Moakler is quality reality TV. Bring it, Shanna!

We can only hope.

It’s actually embarrassing if you look at the amounts most of these people are getting from the NRA - apparently all it takes is around $6k to get a congressperson to tolerate children being shot in school.

Was coming here to say this. Her vet is *also* publicly confirming the story. But it’s Lena Dunham, so <shrug> let’s just go with the armchair concern-troll takes. /s

The last day I was in Ohio before moving to California I was sitting in a health clinic seated next to a man with an assault rifle, because he needed an assault rifle to get a z-pac obviously.

Sounds a lot like a “non-law” doesn’t it?

But... you still don’t know her dog.

Lena was obviously not the right owner for the dog and after trying to make it work re-homed him responsibly. Yea, she should have let the shelter know she was doing this as it was part of their contract but she didn’t ditch the dog on the side of the road. The dog is with people now who can care for him…

Meh. I have a rescue who has some behavior issues, but is generally delightful. It’s good to know what you’re getting into. Not every dog can heal from trauma and sometimes it’s just a bad fit between dog and owner. We’re also in the process of adopting from foster care. In the classes, they tell you all the scariest…
