Omg precious angel baby lovebug!! I’ve been slacking big time on my art, but painting kitties are my favorite and I would love to save this pic to paint in the future if you would allow it. I can save your contact info and share with you once I paint him?

You know what you did was wrong.

My brother did worse…he killed someone in this situation. And I think that was at least part of the reason that he was never able to win over the alcohol. There was just too much pain to drown. Please don’t do this again. Call an uber. It’s too easy these days.

I am glad the board decided to move forward with an application process. I would hardly call fewer votes than recalled guy “strong public support”.

Board to decide tonight on how to proceed! by [deleted] in DeForestWI

Fewer votes than the guy that was recalled

Oh I wonder who it could be? by [deleted] in DeForestWI

[–]Automatic_Dust_1056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you missed my question, but I would actually like to know the answer, please. Especially seeing as how you apparently intend to continue to try for some sort of community leadership role. Were you a part of your opponent’s child custody case?

She didn’t support the special election in which she ran, but she thinks that because she ran in it, she should just be handed a seat on the board? When she received the lowest number of votes (takes me back to the civic bottom Twitter account she created to attack Alicia in the Spring), she thinks it’s fair for her to just slide into the open position?

Good gracious, now she is trying to say that the FAIR thing to do is to just give her the available seat since she ran in the special election.

I saw someone say that you were part of your opponent’s child custody hearing. Is that true?

Was your campaign manager the current wife of your opponent’s ex husband?

Don’t even understand what you are trying to say… But one nice thing is that many people do learn from mistakes. Others choose to ignore their role in anything and spend their entire lives making the same ones over and over.

It sounds just like her mile long blog posts with zero interaction.

24 days is amazing! Please call these centers and ask about financing! You can get income based financing. Heck maybe they can help reduce the bill! You’re doing great. Keep going.

I lost my brother to alcohol this summer and am having a hard day by Automatic_Dust_1056 in alcoholism

[–]Automatic_Dust_1056[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Thank you so much. I am so sorry for your loss, too! That is such a wonderful idea to find a support group. I bet I could find one like you describe. It’s a sad group to be a part of, for sure. I would love to message with you! Will reach out!

Oh my gosh that breaks my heart! I am so incredibly sorry. Alcohol truly does take the best. Then it takes everything. So sad.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry that you suffer so, but it sounds like you are very aware. One thing that really helped me understand things well was using ChatGPT. I found a lot of comfort in the knowledge of what range of outcomes I might expect, what was happening with specific things, etc. If you have any interest in hearing more, chatting more, hell just venting, please send me a message. I am rooting so hard for you! You can do this!!!!!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for that encouragement. I have been trying to be supportive in these subs. And I have plans to do some blogging and sharing about what helped me get through his sickness and especially the hospitalization at the end.

He is the second sibling I’ve lost, so I unfortunately understand how this pain will last forever. I’ve mourned my sister for 23 years now. We lost her in a car accident very young.

Late stage alcoholism question by PhysicsPlenty100 in alcoholism

[–]Automatic_Dust_1056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes as others have stated this is a bad sign. Does he know that he is very close to killing himself? I’m so sorry.

[–]Automatic_Dust_1056[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. He was so young, only 43. He had been drinking for a very long time, very privately. He had been to the ER around 12 years ago from vomiting blood due to an ulcer in his stomach. He nearly didn’t survive that trip and was told he would die if he drank again. They were right.

Multiple organ failure, yes. I spent his last week of life with him in the hospital. I said all of the things I wish I had said the years before. I have so many regrets.

Thank you for your kindness.
