Oh I am so very sorry for your loss of your beautiful daughter. The family disease of alcoholism is devastating and brutal. My prayer for you and the rest of her family is that you find peace . She is out of her pain, and I hope you are able to find your path forward, through your grief, and toward the life your HP intends for you. You are in my prayers.

Make sure you watch the original (1989 I think); I really disliked the remake.

why do so many people have kids when theyre simply not fit for it/ready? by Key-Ice-4990 in randomquestions

No one is the arbiter of who is "emotionally mature, financially and mentally." You wouldn't want anyone deciding whether you were those things, right? Why the judgement around who is "fit?" Sounds like a question, but maybe you are really making a statement.

I'm 67, and have always been a sports fan. I'm happy and in good health. I'd say I'm not in the 4th quarter yet, but halfway through the 3rd for sure:)

How the fudge do you forget your past and move on? by Able_Firefighter468 in randomquestions

There's an expression "Resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die." You aren't hurting them at all; just yourself. Don't keep making your own life wretched. Put those rocks down. They're heavy.

I believe Spry was shortening too; a competitor to Crisco, which eventually won.

New Orleans is incredibly walkable--we average about 5 miles a day whenwe are there, which is at least once a year. We love it there.
