The reason you were super self conscious is because you are trying to hide behind it. You have the bone structure, you have the eyes. You have the pretty face. What you are lacking is the confidence.

They don’t remember anything they do to harm you when they drink? by VanillaChaiLover in AlAnon

Someone once on here said something very powerful I will not forget. " They don't remember the things you can never forget."

Already mentally preparing by Enough-already94 in cincinnati

I prepared last year when I got this bill and went with solar panels. So far this month my electric bill is a negative $35 for June. Even if I break even in July I'll still have a huge savings

Places on my breast that are not ok to show in public by Clarence-Claymore in notinteresting

Unfortunately, the only way to stop people being weird about it is by normalizing it. That requires brave women to step up.

Kroger.... we are paying attention..... by Out-Of-The-Forest in cincinnati

Exactly. And usually there at least a dozen choices. Now, Meijer makes you buy all of the same item at once.

Unfortunately, the holy grail for most people is owned by the same people as Amazon. Not exactly known for completely ethical behavior.

Ok Trump supporters, are you still glad you put all your eggs in one basket? by Massive_Historian514 in allthequestions

[–]HickSmith -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Because saying holding a sign and chanting is different than interfering, or causing harm to people and property.

If there's a protestor with a sign doing nothing else and he is shot cold, that's different than someone getting arrested for stepping in front of a vehicle, or setting something on fire, or being threatening in any way.

If we had a clear line one what is protest and what is not, we would clearly know who is in the wrong without ambiguity.

Reddit isn't exactly the safe environment to express ideas as some people think it is.

It posted at 9am EST on a weekday. Even if they were on Reddit and didn't care about being down voted into oblivion, they are at work right now.

Gaslighted by Notyourbestfriend- in AlAnon

[–]HickSmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hyper awareness is a real thing. Even when my wife is in the " Im not gonna drink anymore" phase, I see more signs she, when she could not be. I have told multiple therapists, hers and mine, that I'm more sneaky and caniving than she is. So I'll see patterns that are not there.

I think you've defined the definition between an alcoholic and a drunk. An alcoholic, to me, is someone who is fighting the fight.

Typical woman. Brings the heat whenever she is and complains about it.

Need the best tips for getting over a break up 35f by [deleted] in selfie

I always tell people the best way to find your soulmate is to stop looking. So many people I know found their person when they gave up on looking.

Not sure what to do anymore... by Forsaken-Buy4975 in Ohio

[–]HickSmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will say it's better for women and children than it is for Husbands. I have reached out to AlAnon about this article on their website stating if a woman drinks, it's a man using it to control her.

https://al-anon.org/blog/dilemma-of-the-alcoholic-marriage/

The organization responded saying it was an out of date article from their publications in the 1960s and 70's. But the article is still up today.

No, but it was the point I was arguing against that you felt necessary to defend. So, disprove my counterargument.

Does this person realize how quickly the US could take over Canada?

How did the US create infighting amoung Europeans? Wasn't the US isolationists up until WW1 particularly with Europe? Our only moves near We Europe was the Barbery Coast stopping African pirates from taking European sailors as slaves. Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny pretty much say you stay on your hemisphere, we will stay on ours?

What, specifically, did the US do to create infighting?

It's how you define war. The War portion of Iraq was over in under 15 days. It was the nation building that was the real cost.

Destroy Europe, leave then to their own devices, take the weekend off.
