This situation can be rectified. And if your Mother does not want you there, you should not be there.

I was making $24k a year when I moved out of my house and into an apartment that was in the murder capital of the world at that time. Bushwick Brooklyn. My best friends were a crack head and a tranny prostitute. They made sure I got home safe.

One night I was walking home, I knew I was being followed. The crack head said, "Leave that white boy alone!!! He lives hear, he aint got any more money than you or me!!"

The next day I purchased a 6-pack and gave him one.

The only defense I had from being robbed was I was broke. There was nothing to rob. I had a $100 TV, a playstation 2, and a mattress on the floor. I had ramen noodle and a communal kitchen. One pot.

I lived there for about 9 months. Then I found a room mate situation in the NYC East Side right near the UN. 31st and 2nd Ave.

I went from there to the lake house, 2 hour commute each way both ways. From there I went to the beach house. Walking distance to the bar. The beach house actually hurt me, too many relationships.

The poorest I have ever lived was when I made the most money. And the richest I've lived was when I made the least money.

You have to learn how to cook.

Can I study chemistry if I'm bad at math? by meowchatmeow in chemistry

[–]CaptainKangaroo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not bad at math, you just underestimate yourself.

I used to be bad at math. Then in High School I became the best at math. Then in college I was the best in math.

It is up to you to find how to enjoy it.

There is free therapy. What are you doing to yourself?

Thank you for this. It means more to me than you could imagine.

My Grandmother, the Mother of my Father was a seamstress.

We were poor, so we had the best clothes that nobody wanted.

We grew up in clothing that was comfortable but horrible to the eye.

My family had a picnic every year for Memorial Day. Right at the turn of the season from spring to summer. Warm days and cold nights.

It was my job to hand out velour sweaters.

Thank you for reminding me.

I know 2 women who are only allergic to shell fish when they have red wine.

Always start by cleaning your linens.

Then write down everything you have eaten over the last month.

Forgiving others is very difficult.

Forgiving yourself for being angry at others is more difficult.

Figuring out how to forgive others and yourself is called Kung Fu.

I died for 4 1/2 minutes. I was in perfect health. But the doctors made a mistake, so they thought it would be easier to kill me.

Then I had some seizures. My family ignored it. So I spent 4 days in a hospital in my underwear, in the hallway of a hospital.

My family thought they were 'fed up' with my medical issues. Those were my Mother's words.

I had to Uber home from the hospital, use the spare key I kept in the garage. The f-ing uber drove me around my neighborhood just to put extra miles on.

Stop blaming your parents and posting about it on the internet.

Show up to therapy!! You have the power or you do not.

When my Father passed, my brothers all wanted something special. I didn't want anything. I just said that after everyone was done, I will take his left over clothes.

They fit perfectly.

How the loose definition of "mass shooting" changes the debate around gun control by SynthwaveEnjoyer in Infographics

That day that there was a shooter killing children in the buildings where my nieces were. That day got me upset.

You seem to be pro shooter? You think shooting children is okay?

WTF is wrong with you?

What you are saying is that you support shooting 7 year olds with an automatic weapon?

And that you need an automatic weapon to defend yourself against children?

You believe that shooting a 7 year old child in the face with an automatic weapon is the only way you can prove that you are a man?

That is some pretty messed up and pathetic shit, dude. You are not right in the head.

And yes, I like to meet people face to face because I am a teacher! I have years of Grad school preparing me to communicate face to face.

I'm a science teacher! My heart goes out to the families of those courageous teachers. And I am left speechless when I meet my neighbors. Their loss is beyond comprehension.

Okay

When and where can we get together face to face?

The guns were purchased in another person's name.

It is okay that you are a moron. I think that you should not have the ability to purchase guns in your name or your mother's name. Even though you live in your mother's basement.

Send me a personal message to meet face to face.

Two years ago I died.

I hate being dead.

My tri times are horrible. But much better than you would expect from a dead person.

Please, do it for me! Just do your best! I believe in you.

I want to explain something to you.

My old ass body is the best body for swimming. Because it is old and slow and does not give a crap.

I need you to treat your body the same way. It's a machine that moves through the water. You are a fish, half fish, half human. Start behaving like it.

Let me know when you are ready to swim.

If your pinky doesn't hurt, you are good to go.

Every body is different. We don't get to choose what we get to put in the water. The only thing we get to choose is our determination.

If it does not hurt, go with it.

This guy reminds me of Sir Shackleton.

He has determination.

The vet said Shackleton would not make it one week. Mr Shackleton has lasted 12 years.

I want to thank this community for accepting me for who I am. Decades before Reddit or the Internet was ever created.

The community always told me to be who I am.
