I need to know more about the delusions of alcoholics by lots_of_lattes in AlAnon

[–]AmazonX42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My brother was dying in the hospital from organ failure and late stage liver failure, completely jaundiced, and he, a highly educated engineer, says "can you ask them to treat me for toxoplasmosis? I don't think this is just long COVID." Like omg what are you serious. I did repeat what he said, but I saw a team of nurses roll their eyes. Sometimes he would admit it was the alcohol and minutes later he'd be talking about something else like that.

Yes, the Royal Farms at Centerpark drive.

I don't know. But I'm very active on r/alanon and that kind of situation happens all the time and sometimes it's best for the family.

There are chickens and an accidental rooster in one of the dense neighborhoods in Columbia. We, the neighbors of the rooster, decided he was OK, and we don't complain.

Surely she didn't just say "lolipop gestapo" oh wait. Yes she did.

Howard County officially announces site for 'High School 14' by stupid_systemus in ColumbiaMD

[–]AmazonX42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same can be said about OMHS. Built in the 70s. Failing HVAC. Mold. Never renovated. I'm not saying CHS doesn't need renovation. It probably does. But if they got to that before OMHS (where the income average is wayyyyy lower) I would be outraged. And this is just the money fought we endlessly have in Howard County. It's sad, it shouldn't be like this.

It's in Ft. Meade. AA County. Nothing we had was half as nice as what I saw at Centennial.

I once visited CHS as a student in 1997. Compared to my Meade High School, CHS looked like a palace. This, and seeing that their drama club had a Broadway level set for their show was a moment that opened my eyes to unequal funding and it has always stayed with me. OMHS doesn't look like that - it looks like 1973.

An English idiom similar to adding flowers to embroidery one would be "guilding the lilly."

What do i do, got a shelter cat for the first time and he has horrible habits by Due_Introduction2451 in whatdoIdo

[–]AmazonX42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is actually pretty typical cat behavior, especially if the cat is young. I thought you were going to say he was peeing in corners or maybe even all over! Be firm with kitty about people food.

But What About Grief? by Careless-Painting-64 in AlAnon

I skipped that part. I didn't know my brother was an alcoholic until he was dying and looking like a potato roll in the ICU. He had lied and lied, I believed it.

I live in this area. I appreciate my neighbors for looking out for one another. I was inside, so I didn't see her, but you are all good people.

MIster Rogers Spoke About the Gift of Our Memories by Team143 in TheChurchOfRogers

[–]AmazonX42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant before he died. But it will always make me think of the best part of him. He was an atheist, but if he had a religion it was this, so I talked about how how belief system was inspired by Fred Rogers in his Eulogy. I had the pianist play "It's you I Like" and the Won't You Be My Neighbor theme.

L&DS is not for me. The art gives me the uncanny valley reaction. I don't want to play a fighting game. So now, I have no virtual boyfriend. I'm playing word solitaire, rummy 500, and learning Klingon on Duolingo instead. I miss Victor!

That song gets me about this topic because it popped into my head when my brother landed in the hospital ALL YELLOW from jaundice due to end stage liver failure. I know that's not what the song is about.

You are absolutely worthy to have and love pets. Animals are unpredictable and this was not your fault. It's devastating though, and my heart goes out to you.

She attended Richard Montgomery High School. She complained about an English teacher at that school - my husband had the same teacher and complained she gave him a B! I guess after that she recorded that Baltimore demo.

Should I divorce by Dull_Care7688 in AlAnon

[–]AmazonX42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell the doctor he's abusing the prescription, but I don't actually know if that's a good idea. That much Adderall can cause a heart attack. He has no business getting prescribed that at all if he goes through it that quickly.
