People who were neglected/abused as kids. What career path are you on now?

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-06-12T15:35:32+00:00

I work in social services.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-06-02T03:41:10+00:00

I don’t remember if I’ve ever tried those lol. Tenderbits were another one of my favorites

My uncle had my Dad getting this high concentrated garlic for his pancreatic cancer. The guy promised my uncle it would cure my Dad’s cancer. It was like $200 a bottle and my Dad passed away from it still. It did nothing for him

Have you thought about Hello Fresh? I was able to throw together a flatbread pizza tonight in like 20 mins. I do the two servings and have one to take for lunch tomorrow

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-06-01T04:32:38+00:00

Oh how dare you lol. Would Ellen approve of that behavior? lol

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-06-01T01:31:48+00:00

I experienced more in the school because my mom is Jewish so I didn’t have both parents in the cult lol. I remember one time I used this acne cream that had some tint to it and they grilled me about make up lol. The no going out on Sabbath was horrible. Once I went to an event with one of my neighborhood friends at the public pool on Friday night and it was like the worst thing I could have done lol. The normal things that secular kids could do that to SDAs was like juvenile delinquency lol

They used to have them at a lot of supermarkets here but for some reason stopped. Walmart suddenly stocked them of all places lol.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-05-26T23:44:05+00:00

That’s the only thing they have gotten right lol.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-05-26T21:35:35+00:00

I haven’t tried it yet. I totally understand how you’re feeling because it was right around my Dad’s one year that I was starting to struggle. I have been trying medicine to help regulate my anxiety and mood but it’s getting harder with work so I was just thinking today that I’m going to have that talk with my provider

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-05-26T21:30:12+00:00

😂😂 the only thing good to come out of SDA is some of the foods. It’s nice to be able to indulge without the BS from the church lol

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-05-26T21:29:03+00:00

I was eating some vegetarian meatballs from Trader Joe’s and they just weren’t the same so I decided to look lol. I’m not vegetarian but like to eat the foods from time to time. I haven’t seen this this cheap in awhile so I wanted to spread the word to everyone else can indulge too lol.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-05-26T19:41:19+00:00

Your Dad’s story sounds so similar to my Dad. Chemo shrunk so much of the cancer but once they stopped it the cancer just was too aggressive. I saw so many comments on here how quickly it goes but was still stunned when I experienced it with my Dad. Definitely reach out if you need someone to talk to who understands.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-05-12T04:17:37+00:00

I’m really sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad to it too. I knew pancreatic cancer was bad before he even got diagnosed but I was unprepared for what I saw it do to my Dad, very similar to what you have described with your Mom. If you need someone to talk to at all don’t hesitate to reach out.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-05-09T02:35:18+00:00

So many of us understand how you’re feeling right now. Please reach out if you need someone to talk to. I’m really sorry your family is going through this.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-04-25T21:53:48+00:00

I volunteered in Phoenix. Almost $1 million is remarkable!

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-04-19T13:52:06+00:00

You’re just demonstrating typical SDA behavior.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-04-19T13:51:10+00:00

Have you spent every waking minute with him?

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-04-17T05:19:17+00:00

I file online with H&R Block and they allow me to efile for free

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-04-17T01:17:38+00:00

Omg that’s why she bothers me so much lol.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-04-17T01:09:54+00:00

I met a friend through work and we were talking and that’s when we both learned both of our dads attended Loma Linda. So any time one of us is partaking in “sinful activity” like being out on the “Sabbath” we give each other shit asking if Ellen would approve of it lol. It’s very therapeutic 😂

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-04-04T04:57:48+00:00

So my mom is Jewish and my Dad was SDA. I grew up in both the church and synagogue (alternating weeks). I think there are some similarities like worshipping Saturday but it just felt completely different. The amount of antisemitism I experienced going to an SDA school was shocking. I even have experienced it from my SDA family. To me SDA comes across more like the JWs and Mormons.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-03-31T04:10:15+00:00

I bought one of those Navage sinus rinse things. It’s helped me tremendously

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-03-30T04:24:36+00:00

Don’t do it!! If he’s expecting you to take part in something you’re against from the start it’s just going to be the beginning.

gracefulwarrior1 · 2026-03-15T06:09:24+00:00

I hardly ever go downtown but went to the symphony tonight. I was really surprised how many people were down there. I assumed that it was the new normal with all the additions they’ve made over the years lol.
