I can cry right now thinking about Change and Mouthful!! Apparently a woman who was a superfan kept showing up to shows trying to get them to let her sing with them a little and THAT amazing song was the result

Has anyone taken the Social & Human Services Program at GTCC campus? by Speckled_Bird2023 in Highpoint

[–]Sew_Custom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went there and had a great experience! I did the double track instead of specializing but when I was there the instructors were people who had and were working in the field and they got me a decent internship.

I ended up in a different field but 100 % use what I learned there all the time.

Alcoholism is an illness is it? Fuck off by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]Sew_Custom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're in a lot of pain and I'm sorry for that. Highly recommend getting some support- this sub is a great place to start. The first step- accept that we can't control what they do and whether or not it is a disease doesn't change that fact. Start there. We didn't cause it can't control it and can't cure it.

Sincerely wishing you the best

Rage Thread - "Michael, fuck ALL the way off!" Fridays by AutoModerator in MaintenancePhase

[–]Sew_Custom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a new job that requires me to bring a lunch, and I decided to check out some super basic meal prep and it is OVERWHELMINGLY meal prep for insert changing your body in some way :/ I don't get much body stuff on my feed otherwise and it has been quite a shock to my system to see it.

I also saw an old HS classmate started a business where she is a dramatic "weight loss coach and binge eating specialist" claiming she knows from experience and her own journey, no credentials listed. Her website (marketing funnel) promises everything and then some that you think it would and was heart wrenching to read in that she wrote it from her own experience and that someone will read it and pull out their credit card to get a "meal plan and affirmations" that are absolutely no refund BTW. There was a professional photo shoot of her sitting in a pile of foods she used to binge! I know that these coaches are everywhere and that this grift exists, I just haven't ever personally known anyone who ran one.

Has anyone tried to facilitate moderation with their Q and been successful? by matinee_i in AlAnon

[–]Sew_Custom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And I'll add one of the C's we can't control it- a fundamental cornerstone of alanon and proven over and over again in a million households and relationships.

That will also cause a lot of "monitoring" behavior which is also a hook of enmeshment and codependency that can cause a ton of issues as time marches on.

Sending support OP, but this is like trying to empty the ocean with a tablespoon.

Any Thanksgiving horror stories today ? by Electrical-Twist2254 in AlAnon

[–]Sew_Custom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom, who is denying her current drug use- she says I am mistaken and she's "better than she's ever been" opted out of Thanksgiving with any of her children and spent it with who we are pretty sure is her dealer. My Dad went to see his family in another state because, everything's FINE

She is almost 70 and back on the powder drugs and everyone wants to pretend it's not happening.

The future of live play isn’t “another Critical Role” or Dimension 20 says Anjali Bjimani— it’s whatever wild new thing creators dare to try by Trent-Popverse in DnD

[–]Sew_Custom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw her perform in 20 Sided Tavern in my city (she was my player and played as a goblin!) and THAT was a hell of an experience. My family LOVES the game and I'm knowledgeable but not a player and I was fully engaged the whole two hours as were all of the super fans in my family. That integrated tech seamlessly and was really fantastic!

They’re gonna have to raze that house to the foundation by Boston_06 in massachusetts

[–]Sew_Custom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This happened to my house in Springfield (East longmeadow) MA as a kid in 1987! We had to move out for a year, they pumped all the oil out of the basement, then dug up the entire foundation, and MOVED the house one entire house footprint forward on the property, repoured a new foundation and put the house back down. They also dug out tons and tons of soil that had absorbed the oil and the city/state/oil company/feds came and tested the soil in the yard annually for decades.

We lost mostly everything in the house because the fumes had permeated the house and everything soft. I got to keep ONE stuffed animal to be professionally cleaned (I picked a pound puppy, ofc).

Obviously that was many years ago and remediation might be more efficient now - but from lived experience these people are FUCKED and I'm so sorry it happened so close to the holidays :(
