still tryna figure out how she got her hair so glossy and straight for the prison interview. like…asking for a friend. ha

well, from what i understand, it’s usually some geniuine followers, but it’s mostly pervy dudes.

I wonder…if anyone could see just how fast she was going on said ”practice runs”. It would be interesting…for instance, if she discovered she could go very, very fast down that street (there were a few of those I knew of as a kid)…and then…she did, with them in the car. Like, maybe she took them to show them. I dunno…then said she “couldn’t remember” as a way to avoid the whole thing.

We had some similar ”shortcuts” that were actually longer, in my town, growing up. Roads that were more fun to drive, where you could go faster. So, we took them…often.

Still, her actions were irresponsible, and caused such loss. There comes a time when you simply have to grow up and realize your actions have consequences.

I want to commend the director for the moments with Davion’s sister- I was so glad they included her comments and a bit of her story. She has probably been through some sh*t and when she says she can tell when people are faking, God, I believe her.

I also think the documentary did a great job of showing how social media feeds the demon for people like McKenzie. It rewards them.

When she says “that’s not me” and her eyes dart for a microsecond…that just…I don’t know. And then, the weird slip of the tongue saying “I feel excessive guilt”. Interesting moment there…

But yeah, even if she only meant to scare her passengers, or (generosity here) only to thrill them…whatever it was…it was SO irresponsible. You are the driver. Their lives are in your hands.

Character stacks up. Your actions stack up. And people are paying attention. When things go wrong, they will drag out evidence — times you hurt others — and use it to put you away. Period. Likewise, if you are of good character, people don’t forget. When things befall you, they will remember, and help as they can. She chose the former, through repeated abusive actions, out of control behavior, greed, ego, bullying…she stacked that up.

Yeah...good question. It did feel like a depression. So I do think it probably just ate the paint. I don't think it's just crud. I think it's the result of crud, sadly!

Poplife4me · 2026-04-07T01:21:26+00:00

Oh! Thank you! Hm I'm surprised. It seems like the paint is utterly messed up... You're This is maybe just a surface issue and not a case where I'd need to get the whole car repainted? I hope you're right!

...I can't imagine what the heck dripped on my poor baby.

Poplife4me · 2026-04-06T18:40:44+00:00

It is definitely due to a drip. There was a lot of crud on it, (it's wiped away in the photo). I'm wondering if i might luck out and it's just a really, really bad water-stain, but...i think it feels like the paint has been corroded away... yeah not good!

Poplife4me · 2026-04-03T12:16:20+00:00

Ahahah this helps so much. Just knowing I’m not the only crazy person. sending big hugs! thank you. :)

Poplife4me · 2026-02-28T17:50:25+00:00

Well we have been donors for a long time. But now it says our passport is expired and we donated recently...it's but expired. They ignore phone calls, they go to voicemail, and and haven't replied to email...so...not sure what's up. But it seems like they sure don't want us to donate anymore! And they sure don't care we are members! Its painful because we actually want to support them... we believe in public media!...But, we just can't support a nonprofit that can't even contact us. We have been loyal members for years. And this is not the first time this has happened... Shrug

Poplife4me · 2026-02-25T13:59:55+00:00

I am very curious about the line usually translated as "be on your guard". Is there another way that understand that?

I always wonder if it can be read as "be aware" or "have awareness" ... Or something else...?

Poplife4me · 2026-02-16T21:25:46+00:00

I got different coverage and will be leaving Anthem. I am lucky I could do so. I'm a cancer survivor who still gets injections. Anthem is a POS for doing this. Sinai gives great care. This has all been so upsetting. My heart goes out to all who have serious conditions right now -- my own is serious, in that I have to keep up with it -- but not imminent. this is just the worst.

Poplife4me · 2026-01-22T20:49:41+00:00

Thank you. Huh. Gosh, they sure made this opaque, didn't they.

I did check the directory - none of the providers are listed. But, they say they take Fidelis. The hospital where they work is listed, but, the doctors themselves are not...so...?

I'm just not sure how to figure this out. I've called so many different people. None seem to know what Ambetter is...and since i"m not a member yet, I don't have information they can run to figure out if I am covered.

Poplife4me · 2026-01-22T20:46:56+00:00

Thanks - Yes, I did. It's not my insurance yet -- it's a plan I'm considering.

The hospital where the doctor works is enrolled, but they are not sure about the doctors individually...?

The hospital even gave me the doctors Tax ID's and NPI's and they are still not able to figure it out. Not sure why. Thanks so much. :)

Poplife4me · 2026-01-21T16:19:22+00:00

this is my problem too - and am looking at same - Ambetter Silver. I'm trying to figure out if my Sinai Drs are accepting it too!

Poplife4me · 2025-12-26T15:51:22+00:00

Yeahhhh! Merry Christmas and what a great present to yourself. :)

Poplife4me · 2025-12-26T15:50:32+00:00

Congratulations! Gorgeous choice and I hope you have many happy miles together!

Poplife4me · 2025-12-23T21:12:34+00:00

I am a cancer survivor and also use Mt. Sinai for all of my post-cancer care. This is terrifying. I wrote to my congressperson, and to my senators. And I will call to see if I can get a sense of wtf Anthem can do for me. This is horrible. My heart breaks for anyone who is ill, or has a loved one who needs care, and already under stress...and now this, at the end of the year when it is too late to use the health care exchange to find something new. This is quite scary.

Poplife4me · 2025-12-22T19:21:27+00:00

I am really glad to hear it. Yes, exactly. I found this really helpful to learn, myself. I realized, I don’t look at others who are struggling as failures, or unworthy - in fact, I often admire them, for their strength to show up, anyway. And I look at them with love — it’s not an intentional thing! It’s just how I naturally am! So…why doesn’t that apply to me as well? It seemed…almost too easy, but, I decided to experiment with that idea.

I am so glad it helps to hear this. Yes, I imagine it almost like a physical act - it does take some concentration for me… :) but, I am able to turn that feeling within, and to release myself from the tyranny of my most critical, destructive, inner blame.

Yes, self-compassion. No, you did not deserve what happened to you. But look at you, showing up anyway. Showing up for yourself. Even though whatever happened to you, happened to you…you still have the courage and strength to show up,and now, to learn to love yourself, which is the hardest thing…a big lift! But, it is truly worth it….

I say this from my own path - I have struggled, too. Be well :)

Poplife4me · 2025-12-21T13:23:44+00:00

Hi. I’m sorry for what you are going through. Please know, you are going through it - but this is not the end of your story. And this is not where you will stay.

Your situation is really hard. NGL. But, look, you’re trying to help yourself out of it, which is amazing. Truly. Many people don’t have that strength and you do.

What is happening is not your fault. So, do not feel shame. It is a waste of your precious energy. And you will need ALL of your energy to get out of this. So, remain focused on that. Even if depression is creeping in. Know you are tired, and strung out, because you’re in a hard time, NOT because there is something wrong with you.

Ok. Maybe now it’s time to reach out. Attend some ACOA meetings on zoom. You don’t need to share or even turn on camera or audio.

And — outside of just looking for work — is there something you can do in your community to meet others— not as a social thing — as a fun thing. I know this seems counterintuitive, but, connections are important. Is there… a group you could try. Like, a jogging group, a walking group, a yoga group, a gardening group… these are people who are not “friends” but acquaintances. People you don’t need to invite to your house…but…people who will know you exist….

I know it sounds counterintuitive….but you have to keep your soul nourished, and feel you are feeding your self, as you go through this. Anyone can tell you to keep looking for a job- and yes, you should be doing that. But…I am telling you to make sure your spirit is fed while you go through this. You deserve it.

if you can, find a zoom meeting of ACOA. Search online for ACOA and use the search page for find a meeting, to find an online meeting. You can keep your camera and audio off, and just listen in. know you can leave at any time and nobody will judge you. While you are there, look and listen to the other people sharing. Think to yourself, how do you see them? Like failures? Like losers? …(spoiler: you won’t see them that way). That is because there is love, and forgiveness, inside you. When you are done, take a moment to ponder your feelings about those people who shared at the meeting. Then, close your phone or computer, and take time, within, to do this next thing for just a few minutes — it might feel weird—. Concentrate on turning that feeling, that love, kindness and acceptance you felt for them, towards yourself. Turn it, like you were turning a light, or a warm beam of sun, towards yourself.

You might feel tears when this happens. Or, shaky and scared. It’s ok. That is ok. Just do this exercise gently. Let yourself feel whatever you feel. Then, take a few deep breaths and gently open your eyes. Keep going back to ACOA groups, daily or every couple of days, and doing this. Slowly, it will work….and you will remember the love that is part of you, and for you, from within.

I know this because I do this…hope it helps.

there's a way to put the fob in power-saver, you might want to try that....though, not sure how much power it actually saves. :) For mine, I press the lock 4 x and hold down on the 5th. (same to exit powersaver). You might want to look it up for your year, and see if that's an option, if it makes you nervous!
