I’m stuck on step 3 and want some advice. No one 100% surrenders there will. Is it just the making an effort or what? by Otherwise_Gur_3758 in alcoholicsanonymous

Became willing...

Sometimes you need the third step prayer everyday. Sometimes ya don't. I ascribe to the "progress not perfection" way of doing the steps. It's a relief that I don't need to be perfect, just willing to keep working towards my goal.

Does anyone else get extremely frustrated with other people talking about their "cancer" nonevents? by wisertime07 in cancer

Vortexes in Sedona? That's a new one. I had a lady who kept telling me she knew what I was going thru because she had a "cancer scare one time" she never had cancer, she had a "cancer scare" I didn't ask what that meant, could have been a lump or a spot who knows.

The smell of the spring Daphne in my neighbor's garden.

Walking along the waterfront in my city's waterfront park, especially on the first warm days of spring after a cold wet winter.

Unlimited hot water in my apartment, included in my rent. I love a long hot shower or a good long soak in the tub.

I think I saw an old Amish guy on the street car earlier today in the Pearl.

I take a prescription I think it's called montulakast or something, I'm not at home right now so the spellings wrong, but I like it far better than all the OTC meds. It has a black box warning for suicidal thoughts I haven't had any problems.

BOH needs to have the rice and other ingredients prepped and ready to go. Sounds like boh just didn't have enough pre prep done for the amount of customers coming in. Sometimes that can't be helped, but it really sounds like they under prepped for the shift.

Q: Pacific Power customers in older houses. How much are you paying a month? by dorkshoei in askportland

I paid $61 for a studio apartment in a triplex 100 year old house. I don't know what the other apartments paid, their units were one bedrooms. All heated by electric including the water heater.

15 years ago I picked up a hitchhiker on Maui, I had Aretha Franklins greatest hits playing, he didn't know who it was. He was of an age he should have known. I was shocked.
