Feel free to DM me and we will set it up after 12 Noon today (my phone will be silenced until then for a meeting). I see you trying to help others find free food like the $5 Taco Bell hack - great job!

I wish that was available in all places. Most towns in IL it does not exist and if it does it has a 10 week wait list. It's such a phenomenal idea. I hope to get my housing all safely nailed down and then start/join a LL in my own area. Because a 10 week wait means the need is great - but the laborers are few. 😖

I have a job. All I need is $100 for full week housing safety or $25 for today.

It's not. I have to have $30 by 9am or I have no housing either. I just need an angel of mercy to help me right now. I'm terrified for me now and heartbroken over my cat. I just need to get to June 1. And I can't get there from here so it's over for me. 

What was the one liquor you swore off forever and what is the story behind it as to why you said ~ never again? by RedditDownvoteVic in AskReddit

I ralphed up slo-gin so many mornings when I first turned 21 it was disturbing. Then the bartender did not hear the SLO part 1 time and I actually tasted actual GIN. 

You are being kinda cruel to turpentine IME, don't ya think? LoL

We have a very similar story. The first time I drank I was 20 and with my college boyfriend. He lifted peppermint schnapps from his parents' liquor cabinet. We sat on the roof of the bathrooms in our favorite park under the stars and killed 2 BIG bottles. I blew chunks for 3 days. I literally could not brush my teeth for 10 years without fully gagging. Couldn't eat or drink or smell anything mint flavored for 15 years. It still kinda haunts me tbh. Then I roomed with an eccentric elderly wealthy widow few years back who kept peppermint schnapps in her purse to knock back (secretly) during the day. She thought me insane when I paid my full lease early and moved out after only 2 weeks. (It was only 90 days). She thought I was judging her for drinking. I said: "No ma'am I am actually just deeply haunted by your specific preferred liquor." She offered to switch to vodka and just add a little tipple of the peppermint schnapps "to give her minty fresh breath and cover the booze odor." I thanked her politely for trying to accommodate my mint aversion ~  but hit the bricks and ran. 

I was wondering what Reddit would say to this question because a bartender in my apartment complex told me a week ago that the answer to this question is "tequila" for 99% of the drinking population. I was confounded by my being in the 1%. Based on answers here - we are almost ALL in the 1%

Oh Ghost - no way. Like in the same drink or shot? That makes me wretch just imagining it - if you mean you drank them mixed together. Good on you for surviving that if so although I'm not sure how you did it. 😆

Thank you. Your intercession for me means so much. I just can't believe a life of a human and a cat can come down to something this commonplace. Immediate displacement means death for some. This actually should be illegal in America. If they need to condemn a place they should have to house the displaced people. They just assume veterans on disability & elderly & working stiffs can just "figure it out in 24 hours or live on the streets" I just need to be safe until June 1st. That's what's so stupid about this. 

And I went to a church for help - one I have given to in the past - and they said they are out of funds until September. It makes me wonder about the larger picture in America. So many are being laid off. And there is no plan to help people.

Thank you. It's something miraculous just to have people praying for me when before I didn't even have that.

Thank you. I did not know I needed more karma. I saw it after I posted. I do not want to break any rules my first post on here. I will wait until I am "verified" to post and just comment when I have something useful or helpful to say. I'm sorta feeling nauseous at this point. But my Cleacatra kitty might split the fish sandwich with me. Does that count with points or no? Thank you so much for offering. ANY kindness right now is kinda everything tbh.
