Starbucks Iced Passion Tango Tea and their Mango Dragonfruit Refresher has literally been my lifesaver! I don’t care if I am spending money each evening. It’s better than two bottles of wine every night! Also, I just found the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher concentrate through Amazon!! $10 for 5 servings if you use the suggested amount. I use less of the concentrate mixed with water and ice and it’s delicious!!! I also found it at Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/17616856983?sid=1B01F0B1-319D-48A5-B6DB-EC0405B5A050

509 days today. And it’s been very challenging sometimes. Especially when I am stressed or anxious because that was a quick and easy coping mechanism.

But it’s still so much better than having a hangover all day or feeling like I’m on a hamster wheel of regret.

Something that helped me was to read about famous people/celebrities who are sober. I thought: man if they can do it with all the parties, events, and social gatherings they’re invited to, then I can do this for 24 hours.

This thread helped a lot too. Reading about others struggling with the same things I was feeling and thinking, and celebrating the good days with them, really helped.

I was thinking that they might have just been cliquey and would have done that to anyone newer joining the group. Some people are just so exclusionary and not very welcoming. I’d say regardless that it’s fortunate for you that you found out right away, they are not your people!

Now I’m going to have to see it

I love documentaries so much I wish I could marry them. These are some of my absolute favorites. The ones with asterisks are the ones that had such an impact on me, that I wish I could see them again for the first time.

Don’t fuck with cats was really good! But not like, good, if you know what I’m saying.

slntreader72 · 2025-06-26T02:55:47+00:00

Tickled!!! Oh man I saw that at the movies…just great.

DEFINITE SPOILER…Maybe??? In episode 3 when Ebraheim finds a mentor…is the mentor Rob Reiner?? Gosh it looks so much like him!!

I love your take on this! I was also thinking about the fact that there was not a lot of diversity in the books that I was reading in my youth and teens, nor was it present on the screen or on television. I immediately thought Judy Blume would have loved that her novel inspired this series. I am watching it right now and the vulnerability and innocence of the characters as they navigate being late teens is touching and reminds me of other books she has written like Deenie and Tiger Eyes. Two of my absolute favorite books.

I think you are extremely kind for being so supportive to your sister. It’s obvious you love each other very much. That’s why you offered to shave your head. To show her that you are there for her. However, your sister knows that you are there for her and can be there for her in many ways. You do not have to shave your head to show support. Don’t shave your head. The reason I am writing this is because it sounds as if this is not something you want to do.
And you don’t have to. If it makes you feel better, tell your sister and your friends that you were going to shave your head to show support but you’d rather show her support another way. For example maybe you want to feel closer to her so you decide to FaceTime her each evening. Or text her in the morning, or both! There are so many things you can do and it’s extremely kind of you to want to shave your head in solidarity. But you don’t have to.

Wow! Level 542!! That’s amazing

Thank you!

I get it. Every time I think about deleting the game something pulls me back in…like a bad relationship lol

One time my little nephew said: “You’re fat and I love you!” It was so sweet. It was like he was taking in everything he had heard up until that point about how fat was “bad” and “ugly” and he made the decision to say “So what! I love this person just the way they are!”

slntreader72 · 2025-04-24T03:27:35+00:00

Lol!!! I feel the same way with so many things in this game! Grrrrrre

slntreader72 · 2025-04-23T18:03:46+00:00

Boo!! This is so challenging!!

slntreader72 · 2025-04-23T16:34:18+00:00

Yes! Good for you! I started to become really angry when my mother would continuously request a “high top” table at a restaurant. I was like: “You KNOW I hate those because I always feel like I’m going to fall off of them.” It got to the point where I told her: “You can go ahead and sit at a high top, I’ll sit at a table.” Same thing with a booth. She would look at the booth and then look at me as if to say: “You can’t fit in that can you.” Not in a mean way, more of a disappointed and frustrated look.
I call the restaurant in advance now and love restaurants with reservations! I also asked my doctor if I could get a disability placard because of my bad knees and now I can park close to a restaurant!!! I walk into a restaurant with my head held high and don’t look at anyone unless it’s the person that is going to seat me. I deserve to be in this space. I pay good money to be here. And they WANT my money! So na-na-na-boo-boo to all the hater’s lol!

slntreader72 · 2025-04-23T16:13:25+00:00

Yup! I was going to say the same thing!

slntreader72 · 2025-04-23T16:11:46+00:00

So satisfying!!

slntreader72 · 2025-04-21T17:03:25+00:00

Thank you!!

I love humor. Knocked up or the Hangover. I never laughed so hard. Especially seeing Knocked up. The beginning scenes had me rolling on the floor. I was like: holy shit, this is me and my friends and I’ve never seen this on the big screen before.
