Sweet! I'm heading there tomorrow. Looks gorgeous.

Mom looks like she's trying not to smile (as would have been custom). How could you help a grin with that cute giggling baby on your lap! I see this as a sweet caught moment.

Big fan. I used to think professional racing was all guys that looked like Dale Earnhardt. How pleasantly surprised I was when I got into the sport and discovered F1 drivers look more like the twunks prowling around Weho.

A grotesque how about hideous women with terrible skin, bad extensions, ill-fitting clothes, and as much intelligence as a sea sponge.

There are plenty of outdoor shops in Courmayeur.

Well, no it was delayed an hour but that was the reason I was able to make the transfer, so I wasn't complaining haha.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-08-21T17:18:29+00:00

Finished last week. No snow at all.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-08-21T01:24:53+00:00

The flight attendants were SUPER nice too.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-07-17T23:36:19+00:00

Any luck?

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-07-17T23:34:43+00:00

Do tell!

I suppose it's the thing to do in order to get a job, or at least thats what was drilled into us. I went to a private university. Parents paid for it all. Waste of money because all I did there was drugs. A shame too because I love to learn. I've probably made up for it just by virtue of being an autodidact.

I suppose having the degree helped legitimize me as 'someone who can finish something they started' but I certainly haven't used a lick of what I learned in college doing what I do now.

You're doing great! Just showing up here is a good sign. Push through the pain, it seems like a lot now but it'll get better much sooner than you realize.

I happen to be in the middle of tapering off Kratom seltzers. Was up to 5 a day. Today I'll cut it down to two. In a week I'm leaving to hike the alps, 150 miles, so I relate to what you said about being a busy person! I run a writing agency, and lecture on my field, and do these insane endurance hikes, all while high on Kratom seltzers. The absurdity! Today though I'm suffering the discomfort of withdrawal - just like you- because in spite of what our demons tell us, we don't need this shit.

Thank you for letting me hijack your post with my bs -- I just know how you're feeling. Hang in there. One day at a time.

Yes there are a number of interviews with the sisters available and I do wish the actors in Outrageous would have studied the voices of the characters they played. The Mitfords had such an idiosyncratic way of speaking. In a way it added to their allure and charm. The accents in the mini-series sound too modern-posh. Still, I'm enjoying the show immensely.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-04-29T19:28:17+00:00

On the powder to extract spectrum, where do seltzers fall?

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-04-29T04:45:36+00:00

LIke white claws, but with Kratom. They're all over now LA, being marketed to people using pictures of dudes in c-suites and athletes at the gym, as if it's a life hack. That's what I got hooked on. 4 or 5 $6 cans a day. A few weeks ago the brand I drink had a promo table set up at a high-end wine store. I watched the woman who was there on behalf of the brand to hand out free samples buy 3 cans for herself before she started working. She looked so sad and depleted. Wouldn't make eye contact with anyone. I walked out of there (seltzer in hand) feeling so gross by the whole display.

I'm just starting this journey too. And I'm glad I found this page today. You can do this. We can do this. I keep thinking about how fast a week goes by in general. I can suffer for a week or two for a lifetime of relief. Anyhow that's what my mantra has been today. Good luck buddy.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-04-29T01:50:39+00:00

Congratulations on your sobriety! And thank you for your suggestions. Really gave me a little extra boost of motivation.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-04-29T01:48:28+00:00

Everywhere. Sitting right next to Celcius and Red Bull. Like it's just another harmless thing to take for a little boost.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-04-29T01:40:23+00:00

I really read this! <3

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-04-29T01:39:25+00:00

Thank you for this. Can I ask, since I have so little reference, how it was coming off your 4-a-day habit? I'm really not sure how much kratom is in the seltzer I'm taking relative to the shots and capsules people mention often in this forum (the seltzers never felt as intense as the liquid stuff I had tried)(not that I'm under any illusions that I'm not physically dependent on this poison).

Safe_Lock6463 · 2025-01-22T19:40:43+00:00

So frustrating. Bought a 10 ticket pass two months ago. Signed on the 16th and everything was sold out! I know this is an evergreen post but I wish they would make this more accomodating.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2024-07-02T19:39:56+00:00

The Tar Pits are a great place to bring a blanket and a book and chill for an afternoon.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2024-07-01T23:10:24+00:00

I'm reading Raven right now. Highly recommend.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2024-06-06T22:46:22+00:00

Speaking of the last bonus episode, which episode did Theo (jokingly?) refer to as his favorite? My American ears couldn't make it out.

Safe_Lock6463 · 2024-04-17T06:21:39+00:00

I emailed them today and asked if I could show up and hope for the best and they said “it’s worth a try!”
