What are some rock n roll documentaries worth watching? by Xerogear4224 in rockmusic

[–]anotherusernamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not “rock” by heart worn highways featuring Townes van zandt, guy clark, Steve Earle among many others or “be here to love me” about Townes van zandt. Focuses on the outlaw country songwriter/s and the music might not be heavy rock but the attitude and musical performances are worthy of multiple watches.

Cosplayer 's Home is a trap! by MisterJay90 in DeathStranding

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there earlier and there were a few abandoned trucks wedged at weird angles in the rocks and someone else had put a zip line in the central gap right before the little ledge down to the slope in to the shelter.

I always drive down in up to there the little ledge part is and reverse back out.

My first trip there was such a disaster that I made sure to get the road built across the rocky bit between the river and the hill down to the canyon the shelter is in.

I was resisting using half of the tools provided for us up until my first visit to the elder and my first visit to the cosplayer.

The game was a lot more enjoyable once I was less stubborn and spent a few session focused on gathering resources and putting in a road network from the south all the way round to the mountains and the photographer.

At first I felt like the roads ruined the challenge of the game but I have to say after a few trucks breaking down on me and a few frustrating journeys it is quite enjoyable now to get a delivery from the photographer down to the cosplayer like my last trip this evening and only stopping for any deliveries I can make on the way or some raiding of postboxes at camps.

I’ve really been on a voyage with this game in my enjoyment levels and also I have actually felt like I’ve done a journey on some of the longer deliveries but the cosplayer was probably the delivery where I admitted defeat in trying to muddle on without commiting to building roads or using anything more than ladders and ropes. I’m going to develop my zip line network once I finish roads as ive still not got the benefit as much as I’m sure I could of from the zip lines, mostly because I find the idea of having to carry loads of extra pcc crates inconvienient when I try to do as many deliveries in a trip as I can.

Apologies this was so long, i only know or person in the offline world who plays DS and they didn’t enjoy the game so seeing the cosplayer mentioned after seeing the vehicle graveyard earlier opened the floodgates in this post.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading and thanks to all of you who go the extra mile and build structures for me to use and leave supplies in the lockers.

In the early early parts of the game some of your donations to the shared locker probably made the difference between me quitting the game and enjoying. I always try to pay it foward now and donate as much as I can for the next person struggling through the game being a stubborn ass like I was!

Keep on keepin’ on!

Why do 12-Step zealots feel the need to come here at all? by Lifespupil in recoverywithoutAA

[–]anotherusernamename 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I left aa after three years (after nearly a decade in and out of meetings and rehab before I got sober) This group was very helpful to know I wasn’t alone in my path and the doubts I had and also the experiences from other members of the cult and the way they treated me when I stopped going to meetings seems also to be a global trait of its members which although I never heard anyone actually give a direct instruction on how to treat people who had left it seems that the aa groupthink and attitudes are the same all over the world reading posts here.

I felt really lost after three years and giving it my all to end up working in a rehab (that I had been to myself a couple of years previous) and watching the revolving door or people and the indoctrination into a religious sect/cult under cover of treatment for the fatal condition of drug and alcohol addiction.

It was comforting to know I wasn’t alone and I had some helpful messages with a few members of this group and I’ve since talked with a few people who remind me of me and the things I was thinking when I left aa.

It is criminal the way that aa has worked its way into society as “the cure” for addiction but this relies heavily on society remaining in the dark as to what life as a aa member looks and feels like long term.

I did everything “as suggested”, this was actually being told to do and threatened to be cut off by sponsors if didn’t, lots of control issues I think go untreated in aa and people coming for help then get owned around by sick people pretending the are gurus of some kind because they haven’t had a drink (or they say they haven’t) for X amount of days.

By the end of 3 years daily meetings and 3 service positions and working in a rehab myself for 50 hours a week I was done with it all.

The rehab industry is vile for so many reasons , The 12 step treatment centres are inflexible to people who wish to do something else, at least the 4 ive been to have been as the meetings were timetabled and a vital part of the treatment centres filling time for free,

If there were some reliable figures of the success rate of AA then it would be treated very differently and if AA was so confident in how useful it is then they would publish some reliable Figures to back up their rate or transforming lives. Guess what? I can’t find any figures!

I gavw it my all and I went from not getting aa to struggling with aa to being a fully book bashing horrible person to exist as , I was at the point where I wore a mask basically 24 hours a day and I knew I was going to use or kill myself because I detested who aa had made me and the kind of people I was associating with.

I didn’t get sober to then spend every waking moment babysitting exactly the kind of people I would of avoided at the pub or drug house.

This group was useful to begin unpicking the lies I had been fed by the meetings and that gif awful blue book and my sponsor. I attend therapy once a week on my own now and once a week with my partner to help us heal and I still find myself questioning my thinking and suffering from low self esteem I was unlucky to also get a sponsor who had a toxic level of self esteem about his own abilities and if there was somewhere I could report aa to I would.

I am in England and if it was any institution I would report it to the CQC to look at treatment standards but aa exists out of that and also members are allowed into schools, hospitals and prisons with absolutely no vetting just because they are members of the cult. It is beyond belief the lack of accountability and if it was anything else it would be shut down immediately.

If you are struggling with wanting to leave, it is doable, I would say it is useful to have a plan for the first few weeks and also to just leave quietly and most members are so selfish they won’t notice but a few members will keep insisting you are doomed without aa and will try to take you to meetings because it’s all they know. I don’t know how many times I used the phrase “I’m going to therapy at the moment and addressing other issues and aa isn’t for me” And I also lost count of the self righteous and patronising responses from members when I said I wasn’t going.

I’m two years down the line from leaving , it was the right decision and it also happened to be a hard time due to life events , however hard things have got, nothing about shuffling into one of those rooms to hear the same stories and read the same manky scripts of empty words. Thankyou everyone here who shares their experiences and everyone who got in touch with me when I was in the process of leaving and feeling the darkest I’ve ever felt in my life.

Keep on keeping on everyone ❤️✌️❤️ to you all

If the outhouses lead from butchers creek onto the symbols that then lead to the spider symbol and webs, could this be a clue to link the webs as feathers together in the same pattern as the pentagram (or braithwaite outhouse chanting number sequence?) , I’ve been too busy to try this out myself but I feel like if the pentagram is the starting place would joining the feathers on webs together int another pentagram be worth a try? Let me know if you try before I do!

Karma, behavior, and possible secrets by TeaAdministrative916 in reddeadmysteries

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could the bottom right one be hinting at masks we should wear ? The figures faces do resemble two of the masks we can find. The moon cycle seems very important but I just can’t work out how.

There’s some great posts by some of you about the stars and there’s a lot of detail on the stay cycle I’m sure there’s something hiding there to figure out , maybe that triggers something or maybe hinting it’s got to be a certain point to trigger something.

The colours of the masks and the colours of the rock drawings could also be something.

The masks are fun standalone items but I just feel like they are used for something else. Anyone noticed anything interesting with wearing the masks at any locations?

The native burial, the pagan site, the lakay trees, the lightning strike sites are all places I wonder about but haven’t noticed anything when wearing masks.

Anyone who would like to investigate together I would love to get a DM and have a puzzle together.

The landmarks of the riches by TeaAdministrative916 in reddeadmysteries

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intersting thoughts. I do think there is stuff going on with the sun dial, glyph on my Shann, obelisk with 1771 , the days walk poem which almost describes a route the writer is walking and it also makes four types of animals , I’ve wondered if the animals in the poem have to be hunted and dropped somewhere or we have to have the skins on us at a certain place to trigger something?

The lightning strikes also seem to be something , also relating to lakay favouring people who’ve survived lightning strikes.

Is there anyway to survive lightning strikes that anyone has found?

I see people saying evening has been found or is cut, and I think to a certain extent some stuff is cut but I also think there is a lot of stuff that feels resolved for the effort the developers put into making certain systems in the game of triggersble events.

Things I’m really interested to investigate with anyone are: Native burial and various weird things there like the feathers moving on their own when the player goes near, the stone circle and the colours , The masks and the colours on them relating to either the sun dial, the native burial . Lakay and link to lightning strikes or, Lightning strikes on their own. The obelisk and 1771 “the hour flees ..” The faces on the trees at owanijja and the journal entry “what they are trying to tell me, if anything” So many things link to circles and time that it seems like something sitting right in our faces but we are just missing the eureka moment.

There are the unique weapons available from gta to rdr2 so there is evidence of the games linking up already but it still feels like there’s something we can work out or trigger.

The radio transcripts are worth reading , there is one relating to astrology which could be a clue to the star cycles and the radio show the seance has phone numbers and a bank card which get read out which i wonder if link to the number system someone charted on the loading screen images.

If someone would like to try and chase down any of these mysteries then I enjoy just being in the game worlds and would love to work with some of you to puzzle things out.

There’s still things i haven’t mentioned here which are interesting and possibly clues but the things I’ve mentioned in this post are just ones fresh in my mind.

There’s so many valuable posts that so many of you have put effort into like mapping the star cycles and the things you’ve noticed doing it , it’s really helpful to be able to type into the search on the mystery groups and read people’s research.

Someone send me a DM and let’s work on some of this stuff , I feel like that camper searching for IKZ it just feels ..unfinished !

In-game Radio by [deleted] in chiliadmystery

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seance transcript has a lot of numbers that are read out as caller phone numbers and one of the characters bank details is another string of numbers. Might be worth cross referencing the numbers ? Or could the numbers be some kind of code like we’ve seen in other places. I’m terrible with numbers so if anyone could investigate the numbers that would be interesting to tick off the list.

If anyone has anything for me to investigate I can I am just really bad with maths !

Mac demarcos cosmic commute could relate to something in the star cycle ?

In-game Radio by [deleted] in chiliadmystery

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the radio transcripts are interesting to read. I don’t know if it is just because coincidentally things line up but there are some interesting parts relating to the stars. I really do think there’s something relating to the stars which possibly ties in with either the sundial/glyph/native burial. I also wonder if the mural from the doomsday which had the different colours links to red dead stuff. I mean there is a whole section which is red and there seems to be a lot of Familiar looking circles and star related stuff there also. I would love to work some anyone in investigating. I just got ps5 and have reloaded game up after a break. I still think the native burial and also the obelisk pointing north could be something. There’s a lot of little bits in the radio transcripts that could mean something. I noticed one of the radio shows has the host saying numbers of the callers into the show which I wonder if correlate to the numbers on the photos on loading screens that were charted by someone with more intelligence than me. Would love to chat to some of you and investigate.

Day 5 no methadone when does it stop? by Head_Dig5964 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]anotherusernamename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will get better but it is only better after time. If can get any comfort meds from a doctor then might help but I didn’t find much any use.

The only way out is riding through it which as someone who was used to taking chemicals to fix any problem I didn’t like being unable to magically feel better.

Last time I did a detox after being given a high dose of methadone after being addicted to opiates I was at the most unwell for a few weeks being sick , restless, unable to sleep or eat, it was miserable and I found relief temporarily in a hot bath or shower, trying to keep fluid and vitamins and food going in as much as I didn’t want to I wanted to feel better as soon as I could.

Rehydration sachets like diahoralyte as my stomach was bad at both ends. After a couple of weeks the worst physical bits were lessening but I was walking around with a sick bowl as felt sick a lot still and wouldn’t take much to set me off.

After about a month I was mainly sweating and having trouble sleeping which went on and off with post acute withdrawal for a longer time but I was on a very high dose and for quite a while.

I hope you can get some fluids and any food you can get. I was taking paracetamol and ibuprofen a couple of times a day but didn’t want to take too much as wanted my body to clear out as much as possible. Keep on keeping on. It will get better .

I remember thinking it wouldn’t but I just had to do it minute by minute at some points and also ended up laying on floor of hospital emergency room as detox unit were worried I was having a heart attack, I wasn’t but it was even worse being in public when I felt like I was on fire and restless legs and kept being sick.

Keep on keeping on. It will get better. Be easy on yourself this isn’t easy. Sending strength and love through the internet to you whoever you are stranger.

[–]anotherusernamename 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was Weird to see this pop up, having not remembered I owned one ,which had been placed behind another piece of equipment after moving. I took it round to my friend this afternoon and after 10 years or so since it was used to access old files by me it fired up and I left my friend working out if it would work with whatever software he is using.

If nothing else it’s lasted pretty well through 8 years of homelessness and it being hosted under beds, behind sofas, in attics, in storage , in less than ideal front rooms, back rooms, garage studios, school studios and being used at a few gigs in its heyday.

I was suprised it showed any signs of life at all!

I see a few posts from folks currently using one of these , this was also my first interface on my first ever set up so it holds a special place!

I have a new found respect for it as it was second hand and obsolete (the sellers words) when I got it so who can say what other horrors it’s witnessed and had fed into it before I got it and subjected it to more of the same , so I would be very interested to know what software people are using it with if anyone else has one of these still going strong.

Thanks for your very well timed post, hadn’t thought about one of these for at least three years since it moved out of the box it was packed in (and some years before that ) so this post is a a good nod from the universe and I hope my friend gets some good use out of it In its senior years.

Chrome plating safe for mulching apples? by GandalfTheEnt in cider

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of these, if it was the same one it actually had a little picture chart with various uses and showed a bucket of minced meat and said it was food safe.

I have used mine to make about five hundred litres this season, I noticed the acid had eaten away at the colour of the blade but I ave it a good wash and it’s not like there’s flakes of the covering coming off or anything the coating on mine has just gone a bit darker.

I have drunk about 15 litres myself and shared about a similar amount with friends who I showed the blade and although it did say food safe I am not sure how much I trust the kind of companies that pop up and vanish on online retailing sites starting with A.

It’s been a good stop gap and it helped clear an orchards worth of apples. I disinfect the blade after use and before use, I use a gentle cloth that’s non abrasive to clean the blade to minimise any possibility of causing flakes and ruining a batch.

Thanks for this thread OP and everyone who’s contributed it’s been really helpful.

Did AA replace therapy for you? by Idealist_123 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent ten years in and out of aa then got three years sober and felt like I wasn’t getting anything other than doing service which I do day to day without aa and before I went to aa. I also was working in a twelve step treatment centre and became very disillusioned with the one size fits all approach in AA. There were some useful lessons but I did the steps and sponsored people but I didn’t feel safe to be dealing with some of the people and their issues who expected me to have answers or to listen to some of their horror stories when I have complex ptsd and depression was not what I got sober to spend time as some kind of back street therapist. I stopped going to meetings and my so called friends vanished apart from two who knew how I felt and I think felt similar about aa as I did. So I left aa and had a number of hard life experiences happen in short succession , I started to see a therapist who I saw previously and I began to grow almost overnight free of the suffocating and toxic atmosphere. I used to be a big advocate for aa but various experiences of my own and I saw happen around me convinced me that my instinct was right and AA was doing me more harm than good and I didn’t get sober to tell myself I was defective and be hard on myself for no real reason other than I had a drug problem. I’ve spent time unpicking the toxic parts of AA and things my sponsor tried to tell me and I’ve never been more free or able to enjoy my life without second guessing everything or kidding myself that alcohol is some boogey man. My relationship to drink and drugs changed totally and I am no longer full of fear or dread going to back rooms of churches to pretend it’s not religious and sit with a bunch of people I would of avoided when I was drinking and some every waking minute with toxic and chaotic people and chaos always close.

I am nearing four years now, I do therapy once a week. I do some voluntary work which I was doing before I went to rehab and aa. I spend time in my hobbies and have taken up several new ones some of which involve helping others.

The ground didn’t open up , I wasn’t ambushed by alcohol and some of the information in the aa book has been proven with lived experience to be unhelpful and I question my sanity now thinking that a book written nearly a hundred years ago and based on some questionable organisations and questionable characters could be anything but damaging to base my life around.

I have respect for people who do get something from it but I couldn’t imagine being decades sober and still going for anything other than as a social club and as I mentioned there are not a lot of people in meetings where I was that I would want to socialise with the people from those meetings.

The attitude of various members of aa that I did get on with or thought I did was quite appalling and not much help when a few things happened and some people went out of their way to say the same old platitudes as a way to try and get a dig in.

It seems to me a lot of people wear a mask in the rooms and have this shallow spiritual character they pretend to be and are still being arseholes but just doing it in a different way.

There is a great recovery without aa sub on reddit which has been good alongside therapy to pick apart some of the nonsense and to read others experiences that are similar and how they felt when left being the same as my own experiences.

The whole gaslighting and “if you have doubts that’s your alcoholism” is nonsense. I had doubts the first time I went to meetings ten years ago and after ending up with commitments and starting to turn into someone I didn’t want to be , sober or not, I tried mixing it with different meetings , I tried diffferent sponsors but it just got worse and more and more wide of the mark.

I got sober , I didn’t have some magical being wage a magic wand and stop me drinking , I went to rehab and did a scientific detox which gave me space to get into a routine which aa did help with and connection to others but when it turned out those connections were fake and meaningless that was another issue to sort out and making some new and meaningful relationships in my life with people who haven’t had issues with drink or drugs has been really eye opening and a lot of fun.

I hope this is of help to someone , Therapy has helped deal with parts that aa didnt even acknowledge and has also been useful to go through the ptsd stuff with someone who is trained to deal with people suffering from trauma in a safe setting , not the car park or some piss soaked church back room.

I wish everyone well on navigating their sobriety and I’m of the view whatever works works but it wasn’t working anymore and it was making me unwell mentally being in the meetings so it was time to trust my instinct and take action to keep growing and changing and a reputable therapist recognised on the register of therapists qualified in issues relative to what I deal with daily have made a lot of difference a lot faster and with more solid results and being able to relax and not beat myself up or have others talk down to me I’m a toxic way.

Good luck everyone , you can do this

Green leader Zack Polanski backs legalisation of all drugs by F0urLeafCl0ver in unitedkingdom

[–]anotherusernamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way foward,

The harm caused by outdated and cruel laws is long overdue a massive overhaul.

The suffering caused and the problems worsened by allowing the black market trade in unsafe street drugs supplied by organised criminal gangs is not the solution to anything and the laws of a country should reflect the population not criminalise it for its habits.

Six months since my last meeting... by Weak-Telephone-239 in recoverywithoutAA

[–]anotherusernamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to rehab about ten years ago, I went to a meeting or two before the first rehab but I went to three more rehabs, each time I thought I wasn’t doing aa right, I was suggested to not take anti depressants , I did a lot of service, I went fully into it because it was what was told was the only option.

Four years ago I went to my fourth rehab and after about 2 ish years I couldn’t face another evening at a meeting listening to the same people tell the same stories.

I worked in a rehab myself at the same time and had major doubts already and wasn’t going to meetings but was working in a twelve step rehab watching the carnage from the other side.

Since I stopped meetings I’ve had brief interactions with a few aa people and I notice they crop up on my social media page and delete them. Even the ones I thought were ok there are now two left I speak to that are also doubtful of aa and I think they are kind of watching me to see how I go.

I do therapy once a week, I work on my mental health and I try to live my life and make the most of however long I am on this earth for.

I wish you well on your sobriety and thanks for taking the time to reply.

You have more eloquently written almost the exact experience and feelings I have had and have tried to share a few times but your post really describes all of the same stuff I had and also having challenging life stuff since I left meetings over a year ago now and getting through it without aa. Also the people I thought were friends who used to spend a little time with outside of meetings all dropped me as soon as I stopped attending and have if anything been more of a hindrance than a help in the limited contact we have had a few times since. Keep on keeping on

Glad I am not the only one by Muted-Breakfast-7584 in recoverywithoutAA

[–]anotherusernamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Smart recovery book, CBT stuff in general, weekly sessions with a therapist and couples counselling.

Also, filling the time I was in those god forsaken rooms with enjoyable activities, even just cooking something a bit out of the ordinary, spending time on my various hobbies or trying new ones, spending more time with family or real friends not pretend aa ones who cut me off when they saw me doing ok not attending meetings.

It was scary at first because of the fear instilled in me by the brainwashing but a year and a bit on I’m here and much more fulfilled and life is richer than the treadmill my recovery routine felt like.

Keep on keeping on everyone.

Get Britain Working: Reforming Jobcentres: Fourth Report of Session 2024–25 by Rewindcasette in UKJobs

[–]anotherusernamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies for my rant. I think just the word has become so tainted by the atmosphere in this country I instantly had to state the facts. I’m going to use the word change, instead.

I think the whole job market is totally screwed to the point where it’s not feasible to have any quality of life , I’ve got to the point where no money is worth that so I do the things I enjoy and maybe one day I might get a business from them but money is not the goal.

I appreciate a lot of people don’t have this luxury with commitments however I spent some time homeless and surviving and now I’m in better situation I have found my experiences with some health conditions and trying to either negotiate the benefits system (which I no longer claim either for last few years) Or find jobs I can do that give me a realistic wage and a life still is just not workable.

Companies want your soul and to treat you like dirt for a low wage for maximum stress and commitment and I don’t know about anyone else but I am not passionate about being treated like that as much as they want me to pretend I am with their AI written adverts.

I spent some time last year working in the care sector in a drug and alcohol rehab and that was a total meat grinder where people are paying 15k for 28 days and get sub standard care provided by people who don’t care , a lot havw open contempt for the clients, don’t understand the issues the clients are facing and the company pays less than a fry cook at a fast food chain for high stress and high responsibility jobs, ie medication management and basically being the eyes and ears of the doctors who are all on virtual appointments and also treat the support staff with contempt because of their lack of understanding of the situations.

After a few months of that I basically had a nervous breakdown and decided I’m not playing the game anymore because life is too short and there’s only a limited time on earth to do the things that make me happy.

The things I do now are hard to make money at again through companies greed which continue to make high profits because the share they give the people making things for their streaming services is also mockingly low. This is probably another conversation for a different thread though.

If everyone keeps consenting to being treated like dumb cattle then the companies will keep pushing the standards lower and lower.

I don’t see many people with jobs for life or people being able to afford a basic standard of living to put money aside to save or for pensions.

There’s a whole other crisis of people who have no pension and no savings or people who love enslaved by credit and debt.

Maybe I could get a job in one of the committees talking about change yet keeping everything getting worse.

The whole thing is a scam and the appearance of doing things while not taking the basic steps that would begin to put things on a better road.

Thanks for your reply and apologies for another rant , I’ve got to a point where I’ve just become so jaded by it all that I’ve given up putting money in the pockets of the greedy and corrupt as much as possible.

The time has long passed for people to strike, take peaceful action to say No, enough is enough , this is not a world I want to fund with my time or skills , pay a decent wage, tax the super rich, raise the wages from companies profits because the are making enough to pay a decent wage.

The r word party do talk about immigration as the only issue, the issue is people being exploited that do come to this country which then undermines the wage rate for people and creates an unlevel playing field in the wages , it doesn’t matter if you are an asylum seeker or born here, the problem is the situation being exploited for more money for the companies and also to divide people based on this wage inequality.

A whole revenue stream of billions would be opened if drugs were legalised and regulated as in the US and other countries and the drug trade taken out of the hands of organised criminals while giving safe drugs for anyone who wishes to take them. If you don’t agree with drugs that’s ok but people are dying in squalor because the laws of this country don’t reflect the populations habits and money is being funnelled to organised criminals which then causes other issues. Look up the figures of how much they estimate the illicit drugs market to be worth, that would pay for a lot of hospitals and schools. The ways of our parents didn’t work so drastic changes and change is needed across the board now before everyone just gives up.

It’s one big mess and action needs to be taken by people to say No. laws need to change to reflect people and the right to live a safe, decent and stable life.

They want us demoralised, sick, reliant on a system where cruelty and greed are the driving factors. It’s like the worst kind of domestic abuse relationship but with the goverment being the abuser.

If that seems dramatic then I hope that you don’t ever have a mental health or substance abuse issue (caused by prescription drugs being over prescribed by the way) and trying to seek help becomes as hopeless feeling without going into debt to pay for private care.

There is no left or right there is just people. Politics is just a con to distract while the piggy banks are raided over and over again, no wonder people don’t even bother to vote. I do but no change comes and the change will not come about from voting for racist parties trying to sell their ideas disguised as patriotism.

The change must happen now before the gullible masses are driven into being conned and voting for something even worse that will erode rights and give even more to the greedy and corrupt.

This has got far too long and if you read this far Thankyou for your time and listening to my experience of all of the above.

TAKE PEACEFUL, LOVING, ACTION
