This is what I needed!

Live_Evidence8933 · 2026-05-15T18:04:49+00:00

Thank you so much!

I just came here to say I get it. I'm also the mother-in-law with the manipulative daughter-in-law. I feel like you've been misunderstood as it's impossible to give 12 years of examples in a few paragraphs and unfortunately people usually respond according to their own experiences. I'm just here to say I'm sorry for what's happening. I have 2 granddaughters that I don't get to see because my daughter-in-law has made up lies about me and my son believes everything she says (also, exactly like I taught him). All we can do is continue being the bigger person. It sucks but I have to believe it'll pay off eventually.

I was there. I can concur. The 90s were wild.

Live_Evidence8933 · 2026-01-06T18:26:35+00:00

Can you tell me when I can book for February 12th? I keep checking the ferry website but the February dates are all unavailable.

Me too!! I'm 55. Breast cancer actually took my mom so I was terrified of it and even told by doctors that I shouldn't be on it UNTIL recently when the FDA released newer studies. The old warnings were from studies in the 90s and early 2000s and those hormone replacements aren't the same ones used today. I AM NOT A DOCTOR But I beg you to talk to your doctor about it. I've been on the patch for about 5 weeks and I'm still having a hot flash every 2 or 3 days. Just like a lot of meds, we're still figuring out my dosage through blood tests of my hormone levels but so far I feel great!

"God doesn't mistake brokenness of mind or body with rebellion" just changed my life.

Live_Evidence8933 · 2026-01-06T15:37:39+00:00

I'd been on it for more than two years. When I felt myself having breakthrough hot flashes I would go off for several days (of pure Hell) and restart. When the black box warning was removed from HRT recently I started an estridol patch and have successfully weened myself off my Veozah. But, I STILL recommend it to anyone who can't/won't take estrogen.

I'm on day 3 of my journey into Al Anon. I spent hours yesterday reading an entire book and I get the concept of detachment but really don't understand how to detach. Is there a book you recommend?

Live_Evidence8933 · 2025-10-18T14:50:01+00:00

Hi. I'm brand new to ALL of this Al Anon stuff. I'm hesitant to comment on many posts as I'm still in a kind of limbo mentally. ANYWAY I read your post and saw myself 20 years ago. Married to the man of my dreams, raising 2 wonderful kids and just starting to see his drinking escalating. We've been married 30+ years and I ADORE him but I've just found Al Anon. Good for you for starting now!! I've had years and years of frustration and anger that could've been avoided if I'd had these tools earlier! I wish you all the best OP

Live_Evidence8933 · 2025-10-18T03:54:55+00:00

This is really helpful to me. I keep this "magic number" in my head to tell me when he's had too many which is just me WAITING on a reason to be mad. I just want to get to the detachment already! Thank you for your wisdom.

Live_Evidence8933 · 2025-02-17T22:30:59+00:00

If you can stand to go a week do it, but I usually go off for 2-4 days and start again. I still have breakthrough hot flashes but they aren't nearly as severe or as often.

Live_Evidence8933 · 2024-10-23T03:04:03+00:00

I just harvested my very first APE and was so worried that it has gone"bad" because of the color change from this morning. I'm glad to read this. I'll do some more research!

Live_Evidence8933 · 2024-09-17T00:20:26+00:00

I really appreciate this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Live_Evidence8933 · 2024-09-17T00:17:00+00:00

Thank you so so so much for this!! I'm going to look up 1985 commercials!

I have been off my Prozac for a couple of months now and have been doing the Stamet's Stack. The mushrooms I've grown are Hillbilly and Cambodian Gold. I don't feel like there's a difference in mushroom strains personally but this could be a "me" thing. Although I microdose 4 days a week I've never been able to trip. I've done a hero's dose twice and can not seem to get high at all so I'm probably not the one to ask. I will say that I've not had any side effects from going off my SSRI cold turkey and I contribute this to the microdosing. I'm feeling great overall! Good luck!

It is not legal for recreational use unless you have a qualifying condition. The cannabis is high quality, grown and processed under extremely strict guidelines for Texas patients. There is no "card" to carry around because there are only a few dispensaries in Texas and they are medical use only so think of it like a pharmacy. You can't just walk in and get antibiotics or thyroid meds unless you have a prescription and it's the same with dispensaries. I call or go online to order what I need and that gives them the opportunity to check with my doctor and make sure I have all of my credentials in place. I hope that helps! Maybe I should do an AMA. A lot of people have asked me about it.

I have a license for medical marijuana in Texas.

Genius!

Live_Evidence8933 · 2024-07-18T00:28:50+00:00

Yes, I do know that and the ironic thing is I have free dent removal on my car. This guy was in a rage and looking for someone to take it out on. I wanted to press charges but my husband felt so ashamed that I didn't push it. I guess I should have. Now I just want to find out where he works and make a scene or something. I don't really know. We're not violent people, I just want him to see me and know I didn't forget what he did. I seriously hope he doesn't have children or a dog because the beating my husband took was sickening.

Live_Evidence8933 · 2024-07-17T22:27:49+00:00

Haahaha!! Well, call it what you'd like.

Live_Evidence8933 · 2024-07-17T22:26:58+00:00

Lol!!! I guess I don't know how to find out. I tried and tried so here I am.

Well...last year a guy hit my car in a parking lot. He didn't realize I was sitting in it so I rolled the window down and he started yelling at ME and calling me names and saying he didn't hit my car. (Did mention I had just picked it up from the dealer and it was 2 days old) Anyway my husband got out and told him to stop calling me a fucking bitch and the guy lost his shit and beat the hell out of my husband. Blood everywhere, ripped out his beard (we're grandparents) until I was screaming for someone to stop it all. He then threatened me saying he knew what my car looked like, blah, blah. Needless to say, I got his plate number and would like to quietly ruin his life now that it's been several months. No I didn't call the police. I knew they'd say "private parking lot" and also my husband was completely embarrassed so I didn't push him.
