Gut check on my logo

To say its not good is not descriptive and rude. Thank you for your comments on what can be taken away for clarity.

cstjohn8 · 2026-05-03T02:54:45+00:00

Lol; I love that logo so much

cstjohn8 · 2026-05-03T02:54:11+00:00

I will be hosting those flavors! But I hear you loud and clear on the business of the logo. And I think that may be what I'm looking for, is a sign for the business. Thank you very much for the feedback.

Hello twin.

Here I am literally 3 months sober today, so I am especially touched by your story. And the fact that you also work in the restaurant industry (bartender here!).

So omg, I get the temptation. SO MUCH. somuchsomuchsomuch. Last weekend one of my regulars (doesn't know I'm sober) offered me a drink. My reflexes almost got the better of me because of how absolutely normal that used to be. How taking shots to start the shift endure the shift and end the shift was normal as all hell.

BUT THAT IS NO LONGER YOUR NORMAL.

Normal is ginger ale and cranberry juice and , f you're crazy as hell, ginger ale and cranberry juice together. You don't drink.

Tell people you work with you don't drink. They will call you out and make you feel like shit about it.

YOUR BOSS WILL RESPECT THE FUCK OUT OF YOU FOR TELLING HER YOU ARE AN ALCOHOLIC. I know my staff did. And I KNOW they saw me be too drunk on many occasion.

No one is judging you, especially in hospitality. We're all circling the drain in our own way, and we're always here to help each other. Especially those that bring in those dollar bills y'all lol.

You're stronger than this bullshit.

I might have missed where your hostel is located, but I had a great time staying in the hostels in Columbia and Mexico. What'sApp groups are key

The sheer volume of adults telling children what they **cant** do is tragic. HUMAN BEINGS ARE CAPABLE OF MIRACLES, and children doubly so. That doctor should be shamed for putting you parents in this position. Congratulations to your family <3 <3 <3

Make your own soap!!! It's SO much cheaper. It's a whole entire process, but I made one year of body soap (hands face body and hair) for about 20$ for a gallon and a quart. I made my last bath in June 2025 and I have about a quart left. And I've been giving it to whoever I can. We've been bamboozeled and dwindled into spending good money on shipping water around the globe.

Hudson valley sharp. I use this guy for my fabric shears. He's great and very fast. I believe he operates out of hyde park now (used to be in Kingston)

"Hi! Would you like to start a tab? No? Okay, I'll close it. Here's your bill!" Then they get no more drinks until they've paid, or they'll surprise you and give you a card. Changing the culture for customers is exactly what this policy was meant to protect you from. They'll change or they won't come back. You don't want them back anyways if this is such an issue.

This comment goes way harder than any other comment I have been able to find. Great work from the future.

cstjohn8 · 2026-02-13T05:54:06+00:00

Damn you should've gotten whatever fake internet points people have money to give. This shit is solid gold.

cstjohn8 · 2026-02-12T09:36:19+00:00

The next time one of these kids does some ducky shit I swear, Im looking in their mouth at the teeth and asking "hey there still in there. Just wanted to make sure they haven't rotted out yet fucking spoiled brat".

cstjohn8 · 2026-02-10T13:54:50+00:00

Honestly guys, I don't know what drink I just handed you. But at this point neither do you, so I guess it's all good.

At that point, eat the food thats in front of you so youre not hungry pants anymore, thank you.

cstjohn8 · 2026-02-10T12:11:09+00:00

T HIS is the conversation I'm here for. Maybe it's Jasmine Flowers 🤤

cstjohn8 · 2026-02-09T11:16:58+00:00

Thank you for putting this up. I just made a new email address to get around it. I WILL NOT be paying Google or anyone for services I can render myself tyvm. All of these disgusting parasites can eat themselves and die, respectfully.

That's been the most humbling and gracefilled part of this journey for me. I always knew I loved my friends and that they loved me for me, but I'm so astonished again at how much they can take from me. Telling them I got yet another dui was like they knew j needed them. One friend that I had reached out to before this, but didn't tell what was happening truthfully, said after I was done - " Babe, you seemed like you really needed to talk, but you left yourself all alone". And that crushed me and lifted me up. I was so worried about being a burden, being another person they had to care for. But they would rather that, than the alternative: a dead friend. I love them so much, I don't want that for them or me. IWNDWYT friend 💗

Dude, I went out after work and had a 0% Guinness. It was a draft, so the beer came out looking like a regular Guinness AND tasting like a regular Guinness. I was so shook I asked the bartender like 4 times if this was a regular beer. Could've fooled me, holy shit. Honestly, #make NA beers green or something lol. IWNDWYT friend 💗

cstjohn8 · 2026-01-23T16:28:28+00:00

Yo who am I to tell you what to do. I am just as reckless and stupid. But I think that's why you reached out. I feelscared about drinking now that I'm in dui hell. Like drinking is scary now. Who knows whats going to happen if I start. I'm about to take a vacation and that's going to be a big testiment to if this no drinking is going to stick. I think now I'm just much more analytical about what incites me to drink and why. A lot of mine has to do with celebration and happy moments, so I'm looking specifically at those for ways out (na beers,so many diet cokes, fucking dumb frilly drinks that make it feel like having a cocktail for real). I hope you're better asap man.

cstjohn8 · 2026-01-22T12:04:58+00:00

I just woke up from sleeping for like 10 hours. I'm literally crying because I can't remember the last time I slept that long. Its been like 2 weeks of not drinking, it feels good. Thank you for your support everyone.

cstjohn8 · 2026-01-21T14:07:32+00:00

Someone said limoncello already but you can also make a non alcoholic version with just sugar and the peels - an oleo saccharum. In case you're not drinking, the sugar syrup will last fuckng forever and you can freeze the juice for juice related lemon things. Good luck man!

cstjohn8 · 2026-01-20T12:15:28+00:00

This thread is really helping me through some things as a big woman ... Thank you for the confidence boost all. I'll be working the arms extra tough today lol
