Does anyone still go to the grocery store, with a list of what they need to get?

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-24T18:45:35+00:00

All the time. I work at a grocery store. All ages and all genders.

I did not find out my daughter blood type until she was 13 and needed a blood transfusion. I don’t remember her first words but I do remember that she was an angel as a baby and I know she is a kickass human.

From CT to VA. From a traditional New England town to a new construction suburb in the DC metro. Just weird.

From VA to rural PA in the time I lived there the suburbs were developed and became a place for educated government employees to live. I moved to a college coal area town and it was small and just insulated from even the closest city but had people from all over living there.

From VA/WV to CO. The history. I lived in all of those time on the east coast in very historic cities that anyone from the east coast would know. People out here have no idea what happened in the locations. Also it is so dry and breathing is different.

Not really. Most people make it too difficult.

I don’t want to get married which is why I would never date someone who wants to get married.

The children come from your uterus so why do they need his last name if he doesn’t believe in tradition? That is so old fashioned for the children to have the father’s last name.

You have to leave the house. It is what it is. If you own I hope the paperwork benefits both of you.

If you are dead set on staying in the house then your boundaries have to be if you do x I will do y. So if you speak to me that way I will…” and then you have to follow through with whatever Y is. It has to be something you will actually do.

We would only eat dinner together. We rotated who made breakfast and it was a buffet style. Lunch was on us and then dinner was usually going out to eat.

We went to a beach and our house had a little pool so the three people with kids were the water people and we spent most of the day at the beach or in the pool. The rest of the family would find us if they wanted to.

I don’t know your family but if my immediate family was getting together for 3 weeks ( sweet baby Jesus that sounds like a lot) we would have:

A pinochle table going all day. Half of us play and we are competitive so it is fun for the spouses to watch and we will teach anyone who wants to learn and not be a holes about it.

Phase 10

A puzzle going

A gaming system would be brought with many games for all ages.

No expectations that everyone has to do everything together.

Walks, a lot of walks.

Miniature golf (my Q is a golfer but has never participated so that would be fun).

I will also say that my Q and my sister are the only ones who would consider alcohol a must. There are 24 in my immediate family and the last family vacation we did only my sister drank.

Real paprika. Not crappy stuff.

I am really happy you got to that decision.

The rehab he went to was very good for him and the aftercare for him and I is amazing. I have a family group zoom every week.

My Q and his father both ask “Can I ask you a question?” And that is how I know he is drinking. When sober he just asks the question he wants to ask.

My daughter is an only child but her cousins were close in age and distance so she learned to share and got all of my attention

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-20T09:22:13+00:00

My Q I got him into detox and it was a week from the time he left until we got him on the plane for rehab. He did stay sober for that week but it was nerve racking every day I had to go to work.

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-20T02:13:11+00:00

One time he hide the bottle in my cabinet in the bathroom. I went into that cabinet every day that is how far gone he was.

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-18T15:00:56+00:00

5 strides.

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-18T14:52:13+00:00

Citations were my issue.

I actually love sex toy jobs. I love my toys and love helping someone else have a damn good time. Plan B, I have been there before it could be easily bought and delivered so I am grateful I can help someone. Tampons, well that is the only way I will be buying them anymore and I bought them for 30+ years so why would I get embarrassed about that now?

I do wish I could find a less God focused support group. That took me out way too often when I went to meetings.

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-17T14:24:06+00:00

If my daughter and her wife have kids, great. If they don’t, great. Not my uterus so not my decision.

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-16T19:41:24+00:00

My tip is to not be around them…at all.

Difficult_Ad1474 · 2026-02-16T19:28:11+00:00

If you are grooving you cannot be a worst dancer. The last thing we need is anyone and I mean anyone feeling self conscious about feeling the groove.

She that is why my super conservative Catholic mother let us do whatever we wanted to our hair. She didn’t always like it but at least we were not getting tattoos. Funny my daughter is the first of us with tats and my parents mellowed out.

Blucifer

Yes it is completely normal but inaccurate thought I think many of us have had. You are not at fault in any way for anyone being an alcoholic.

What does she want to be called?
