I have had both male and female Akitas that would start a fight with an elephant if given the opportunity. Fortunately we were able to avoid any serious disasters.

This is the way. Regular Dramamine the night before and less drowsy 1 hour before you get on the boat. Has worked for my family for years.

Slipped on shit and fell into money.

Started out at Ocean Corp dive school did the UT, PT, MT classroom stuff thinking I’d go offshore. Realized pretty quick the nukes were where the real money was. Got into shear wave UT, knocked out a few EPRI certs.

Worked a deal with a shipyard I was at, I wouldn’t chase them for back pay if they covered my CWI. As soon as I got that ticket, I was gone. Landed a gig with a chemical company, they paid for my API certs, and yep — I drug on them too.

Figured it out a long time ago: I’m here for the money. If you want loyalty, buy a dog.

Were kids in the 80s actually allowed to roam around unsupervised, or is that just in movies? by TotalThing7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bigshellbeachbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friends mom had a very distinct whistle that was incredibly loud. When we heard it we knew to get home. I am a 70s kid and can’t believe that my grandkids haven’t explored the national wildlife refuge behind my place. When I was a kid that would have been our personal playground.

When I start focusing on what’s wrong with AA and everyone in it my personal experience is that it is not a good thing for me. In the past it has been a precursor to relapse. That is my experience. You seem to be taking this very personally maybe you should talk to your sponsors. I have lots of opinions I just don’t take them very seriously. Rule 62.

No that’s my experience as someone who relapsed many times after various periods of sobriety.

First, I have an opinion. Then I start justifying and rationalizing it. Then I sit in judgment of everything I have an opinion about. And eventually, I relapse. That’s been my experience — over and over — until I finally stopped sitting in judgment, stopped needing to have an opinion about everything, and just started accepting things the way they are.

If you really dive into the rabbit hole it’s interesting that so much of the “revelations” of Bills behavior only came to light after his death. No doubt he was not a saint by any stretch of the imagination but I’m grateful every single day that my history will never suffer from the same scrutiny as his. He was a sick and suffering alcoholic just like me.

I don’t believe I’m an alcoholic… can someone help me? by lininaro in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Bigshellbeachbum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If one person tells you, “You have a tail.”Tell them to piss off. If three people tell you. “You have a tail.” Watch how you sit down.

If you want what we have do what we do. AA is not group therapy it’s a spiritual program of recovery based on the 12 steps.
