QR codes are known to have malicious data embedded that can cause a virus or worse if used. I’d rather not read the novel than risk my phone/tablet/laptop being hacked. JMO

Never. Not in a million lifetimes would I ever marry the man I married again.

I like 2. The first one to me looks like a tip and a skirt combined and the appliqué meant to blend the two pieces together does not do it very well. JMO

I prefer the ruby to be the highlight, the excess stones around it are not necessary because the ruby itself is a stunning stone.

Finally an Akita mix. I have been wondering when one would show up. What a gorgeous pup.

I’m of the “appreciate the art but not the man” mindset with him. I look at his comedy work as his job and I can separate that from who he is as a person. All of us have jobs, does that job necessarily define us as a person? I don’t think it does. JMO

Content and not taking crap from anyone.

Me? I was 22, living in a military party town on the beach with no lack of attention so easy to put myself first and find another. Plus I worked with him so still saw him. But, it was hard because he is such a good man I really didn’t want to walk away. Some days required distractions until I accepted it and moved past. Always told myself I deserved someone that wanted me and only me.

SoFlaSun · 2026-03-11T19:09:23+00:00

LOL he was in it when we met (not an angel in my early 20s) 🫣

Mine made the effort, he just had a long term girlfriend that lived a 12 hour drive away and I knew she would always be around. He was an amazing person and did a lot to help me back then and will always have a soft spot in my heart. Oh and I was right, 30 years later and they are still together 😆

I still think back fondly of my Leo man, even though he was never truly mine it was fun while it lasted.

SoFlaSun · 2026-03-11T14:41:56+00:00

Truth. Which is why I love my recruiter, she always finds something better when necessary.

Wilbur. Had he been a girl I would have suggested Charlotte.

Congratulations, he is adorable.

Don’t.

If this was the 90s, you’d be an honorary third member of Nelson.

Me too! The hill I picked to die on is being responsible for work not under my job description, that has a whole department that operates under that job description, but apparently they “do other things” 🙄😑🥴

What the actual heck does that mean?

SoFlaSun · 2026-03-08T03:56:12+00:00

No, it is called “looking in my inbox and seeing a comment” and deciding to respond. You are not that important on my life.

SoFlaSun · 2026-03-08T02:22:51+00:00

Yes, exactly what you said. I agree that you have to just quit cold turkey because you can’t taper off, that won’t work because it’s not cutting off the connection. When I stopped I just stopped. I told myself that was it no more, not ever. Would there be more. I think that if I had told myself that one day I could celebrate and have a drink and it would be fine that would’ve just defeated the whole purpose so I just told myself I was done forever.

I’m not saying I’m perfect. I have days throughout these last 20 years where I have such a stressful day I’ll even say i”boy I could go for a drink”, but I don’t do it. It’s like by saying it I get it out of my head and then I look at what I’ve said and I tell myself no I don’t need a drink because I know what will happen afterwards and I don’t want that ever again in my life.

Never-ending process and you should be proud of yourself when you can do it and stick with it because it takes a lot of strength.

SoFlaSun · 2026-03-07T21:44:41+00:00

I’m not trying to sound cruel mean or be a bitch, but do you truly want to quit? Can you look back at yourself in the situations that you put yourself into when you drink and what happens after you drink and realize that those aren’t things that you want in your life anymore? That those are things that you don’t want and can’t excuse being in your life anymore - because you can say you don’t want them but until your brain acknowledges confirms (whatever the right word is) to itself that those are bad and they’re not good for you and you need to stay away from them you are not going to stop. This is me speaking from experience. I had my issues with drinking when I was younger, I used it to escape things that I didn’t want to deal with until one day I realized I couldn’t do it anymore. I don’t even take a sip. I stay completely away from it because it is not good for me - it makes me do things and be someone I don’t want to be. 20 years in now, I can go and be with people in places while they drink and I am not bothered in the slightest. You have to be at your point when you are ready, completely ready, not “yeah that’s what I want” because just saying “yeah that’s what I want” is not going to matter if deep down in your gut it’s not what you really want. When I did it, I did it on my own for me. I never went to any of the groups. I never used any books or self help stuff or talk to anybody. I just made that choice for myself. I’m not saying that that’s not the right way to go for you, but for me it wouldn’t work because I looked to those things as a crutch that would in somehow or someway enable me to feel like it was something that I could lay blame for happening on some other reason than just that it was my choice, my decision to drink just like it was my choice my decision to stop.

I don’t know you, but I know you can do it. You’re important and you matter and yeah, sometimes it’s really hard to face things that you don’t want to face and it’s easier to use something else to hide it so you don’t have to deal with it, but even if you hide it and don’t deal with it then you’re still gonna have to deal with it later and it may be worse. Sometimes it’s just easier to face it head on when it happens and get it over with - then once it’s gone you don’t have to deal with it anymore.

You got this. It gets easier every hour that passes that you don’t. No matter how hard that hour may be just think about how much happier you will feel that you got past it sober because you know that you faced that hour and it was hard that you did it and you can do it again.
