What your describing: is this when the term ‘dry drunk’ would apply? Someone who is sober from their original addiction but has found a replacement addiction? I’ve heard the term but wasn’t sure. Congrats on your sobriety!

I went to Pentecostal Jesus Camp in rural North Carolina from ages 8-10. Oddly I didn’t get homesick my first year, but was horribly distressed the times I went when I was 9 and 10. I moved up to the 9-12 age group and was the only girl from my church. I was placed with a group of 14 hostile, pre-pubescent evangelical…

Reminded of one of the questions we had to answer on our marriage license in rural NC: Are you and your fiance closer kin than first cousins?

I’ve lived in the south my entire life and have family scattered from West Virginia to Florida. We’ve always said White Trash and I use it often to refer to my family. It’s not really bad. We mostly use it in a humorous way or ‘well, that’s the truth’ kind of way. For whatever reason I associate White Trash and…

Sure, I was just confused

I am confused, are you saying your GF has worked directly with this woman as a patient? Should you be speaking about her diagnosis then? Isn’t that a breech of privacy?

She forgave her husband while they were stranded, as they both were preparing to die. The title is meant to relay what happened while they were stranded.

I had a recurring nightmare as a kid that was super similar to that scene. I must have caught a bit of the movie on cable before I was old enough to remember and internalized it (it came out 4 years before I was born... started having the nightmares around 7... guess it could have been on cable by then).

When I was about 15 we went on a church trip to Pigeon Forge, TN. We were stopping at one of the many rickety road side amusement rides (not Dollywood, the town has theme park rides scattered throughout) and saw ambulances everywhere. A woman and her son were on a ride that flips you upside down- just imagine a…

Okay I want to read that

oh my god. oh my god. i am dead

I totally understand. I rarely tell people what things effect me weirdly because I don’t want to contribute to hysteria. I’m not near baby time yet but I honestly panic thinking about all the junk new parents have to deal with (anti-vax, facebook craziness, etc). I worked with supplements for years and had so many…

I mean I definitely believe you and believe the studies, but that’s just what happened to me. I have a lot of allergies, I have chronic migraines now as an adult and I have lots and lots of different things that trigger migraines. I have no vendetta against aspartame, it’s actually the only artificial sweetener I…

I don’t think Aspartame is harmful but I think like everything, some people just have negative physical reactions. Every time I have ingested something with Aspartame I get a headache, and almost every single time I didn’t know the product had Aspartame in it so I wasn’t freaking myself out. One of my favorite sodas…

I think they are looking into his home because they believe he may be involved in some way. I do know Jared rented out his porn collection in college, it was a small side business (saw in several articles, and on VH1 back in the day) so that could be a totally unrelated tidbit or..?

If the baby was forgotten, and likely there is a chance the baby was being watched by a relative or friend and the mother had no idea any of this happened

I worked at a health food store, you would think there was going to be a riot. People were pissed. Also Clorox owns Tom’s as well

oh wow that is so funny! well he’s pulling it off....

I see it, but I also don’t see it for some reason. Like yes, they look alike, but it isn’t enough for me I guess. However I do think Scott resembles Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. I can never un-see that

that’s a very good point, because it seems like other prisoners who have murders in their past may not be serving jail time for the murders but for other reasons, like Miss Colette. it does confuse me though, because i just feel like if i’m seeing a murder i’m seeing the reason for jail time, but it doesn’t look like…
