I found out yesterday that I passed the bar exam.

I love your decoration and I’m so with you for cool crisp weather. I have a new Hallowe’en jumper I adore that I haven’t been able to wear for more than 20 minutes yet...

Nooooo! I ❤ those malt chocolate fuckers...

I’m surprised this never happened to me. My mom gave up trying to feed us anything decent by the time my brother and I had turned 10. The only thing we had access to was fast food, frozen meals, bologna sandwiches, and canned soups (spaghettios and chef boy r dee). It’s no surprise that we all grew up to be incredibly…

So, I was just in Jamaica for a few weeks. I was on the beach hanging out with six year old ‘J,” who I have known since before he was born. I had a rake and a pig feed bag and I was raking a big pile of seaweed onto the bag, then carrying it to the hillside to dump, then coming to rake the next load. The pile was…

This phenomena is not limited to gals. I’ve experienced it and I found hitting it head on works for me. If there is that place or places, I go there until the hurt is gone. If it’s a song, I played it over and over and over and over again until the connection was no longer there. I am in control of my life. Not my…

Cruising in the passing lane.

This is a good list but it has reminded me just how salty I still am about Almost Human being canceled.

P.S.

Hello :) I’m a NorCal native and live close to one of the places you’ll be visiting.

The “experiment” is over. Bite the bullet.

Cut off the ex. He’s proven himself to be controlling and manipulative. Also, if he’s keeping you around until he can find something better or just needs you for the comfort, that’s detrimental to you and any possibilities that could enter your life.

My shittiest vacation involved a pool and a very interesting rock at the bottom of the deep end. My little brother and I were fascinated by this mystery rock because we’d swam in a lot of pools but had never encountered a large rock in any of them. We decided that we had to investigate the rock (I guess because it was…

AA gave me a thorough understanding of my disease and I have been able to stay sober. I don’t feel god, did a few 12 steps, but mostly listened and learned from other people who were trying to step out of chaos. What really caught me was the phrase “my life has become unmanageable.” I’d lost so much, and my…

30+ years in AA/NA here. I let the “God Business” part of the program trip me up for far too long when I was newly clean/sober. It truly isn’t a requirement, just show up, listen, and try not to use between meetings. The rest will take care of itself. Hang out with the people who have some time, and get out of your…

You’d think they’d know a dragon was bad for Snow-balls, amirite?

I volunteer with a girl scout troop and I would not mess with them, their money or their moms

Exercise. I can’t go to the gym regularly, but if I skip my exercises at home more than a week, my back starts to ache. That goes away after a couple of days of exercises. I don’t do anything strenuous, I just make sure that I go through all major muscle groups and stretch them out afterwards. Takes 10-15 minutes

My opinion on wrap dresses is.....fool me once. I live in barkcloth dresses from the 70s, they’ve been washed enough to be comfy and soft,they flatter my figure,they can be dressed up or down,they never wrinkle,snag or pill.

This is so true. My parents both converted because they had challenging upbringings (poverty, violence, eg) and found something akin to family. One of the reasons I had a hard time leaving toward the end was that I was afraid of the repercussions it would have on my family. But I just couldn’t preach something that I…
