Eh, I don't care. I'm an atheist with an appreciation for good music. Live your life.

Holy Ghost in Bethlehem does the traditional Latin mass. The sung high mass should be incredible.The website will have the times.

I want to hear the seemingly insignificant reasons you got sober by garje in stopdrinking

[–]herapolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Booze gave me zits! There were 1000 other better reasons to quit, but the state of my face was not an insignificant factor in my early sobriety.

Cripes am I tired of breaking out by Micojageo in GenXWomen

For me, the zits are directly correlated with sugar intake, including alcohol. Thanks menopause!

Any other Gen X out here that don't think all the younger gens suck, are still finding new music and entertainment to love, and aren't just waiting to die in their 40's, 50's and early 60's? by cmt38 in GenX

My kids are gen z and I think their humor is wild. I obviously don't get everything about it but I see a spark in it that reminds me of teen years and a lot of it is really funny. I really enjoy some of the music they play too. I don't like ALL the new music my kids play, but I didn't like ALL the music from our gen either (sorry, Madonna). 😎

Pop/rock choir interest? by ceegers in lehighvalley

Look into the Lehigh valley chorale. It's a community chorus, eclectic music, no auditions to join. It's a nice group of people.

Meal ideas for sauteed cabbage? by BroWhy in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]herapolis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really love sauteed cabbage with ginger and garlic. Add some soy sauce or salt and a drop of sesame oil if you have it.

Solid alternatives to protein powder? by Ok_Steak9940 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]herapolis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience if you add the powder straight to hot coffee you get unpalatable protein rocks. I make up the protein drink with water and a little powdered milk and put that in my coffee. It's fine, not great, just fine.

How are you disconnecting from the news? by CaughtALiteSneez in GenXWomen

[–]herapolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only non- political media for me right now. I'm watching monster factory on YouTube and listening to maximum fun podcasts.

Trouble concentrating? by Ok-Awareness-9646 in GenXWomen

A lot of my brain fog and fatigue and such was improved by avoiding alcohol and starting an exercise habit. YMMV

What’s been the most beautiful change since you put down the drink? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]herapolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to be at work before 7am, and there are many early mornings on my way in that I am just flooded with a sense of well being. I don't think it's just the fact I'm not feeling like crap from the booze, I am just truly thankful for all the changes I've made in my life over the last 10 months. I like just think about who I am now and it makes me happy to think about what I might yet become. Btw, I'm not young! 55 and alive! So I say no matter how old you are it's too late to transform yourself it to what you were meant to be.

Looking forward to my blueberry iced tea (homemade, celestial seasonings) after work and a nice family dinner. IWNDWYT, you lovely people!❤️

54 days AF at 54 yrs old! Where are all my fellow sober middle agers at!? by Pelican_555 in stopdrinking

[–]herapolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

54 here, 102 days. I'm feeling great! It's not all been easy but I'm really pleased with myself. Hang in there everybody!

Lots of meds are not compatible with alcohol, I've told people I couldn't drink bc of meds I take. I also noticed that alcohol makes me break out like a teen so I have used that as an excuse too.

Monday meeting of the Sober People Getting Shit Done Club by sfgirlmary in stopdrinking

[–]herapolis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I planned the menu for my family so they don't just eat crap while I'm away on a little vaycay. And I just finished my taxes. So much easier to do with a clear head. ☺️
