The bookkeeper at the office is jinxing my weight loss progress. She brought in Krispy Kreme donuts for everybody today. I had one and stopped there. They go great with black coffee.

I put a cut up bendy straw between an empty cup and a cup full of water, and water flowed into the empty cup. Physics, right?

How did you get it to go up hill over the bend?

You don't have to use a straw either, drape a bit of cloth between the two cups. Water will travel up the cloth and in to the other cup until the water level is the same in both cups.

I am going to dedicate some time every week to keeping my house spotless. Starting today. I feel better when my man cave is free of clutter.

I can relate. When stressed, I basically turn into the Tony Shaloub character, "Monk." I have to clean and arrange everything.

Hanging out with Christians is annoying because they never want to do anything, they're spiritual propaganda about why I'm single, and they segregate me from the women.
Hanging out with non Christians is annoying because even though we mix, I have to deal with the gradual shift from G to R Rated language.

Looks like you're saying that hanging out with people
in general is not satisfying for you.

Some of us simply are not cut out to be social creatures at all. And that it's not a crime if the case. For some of us, we live best leading a life as solitary individuals. To pursue life on our individual terms rather than try to live up to societal expectations of others. To learn to live with loneliness rather than let it dominate our lives.

If you want to be happy, you're going to have to learn to adapt to the world around you because other people aren't going to change. Instead of continually getting annoyed, many people in your situation would seek friendships with men and read self-help books to learn to be less sensitive so R-rated language doesn't bother them as much.

Just started reading a novel this morning before I had to go to work. Filling my brain with literature just might be the ticket to give me something more interesting to think about than my family.

Apparently, salt water is good for cleaning coins too.

Not for copper coins, or any that have alluminium in their alloy, some metals react with salt. (alkaline)
Most commonly used is a mild acid, Coke works well.

There's a trick for cleaning old silver plated bowls & such: put a sheet of aluminum foil in the sink. Add water, salt, and vinegar. Silver & silver plate comes out mirror bright (wash completely with soap and water & quickly dry or it will soon tarnish again.

And one of my Mum's tricks for ornamental silverware - not food utensils - was to spray them with hair spray straight after cleaning them. Can't oxidise if it can't get oxygen.

Are you sure weed isn't just a substitute for alcohol?
Any chance that using weed is perpetuating the cycle of addiction?

I only ask because that how it was for me.
You don't have to answer, but it is an idea to consider.

Demand avoidance? A common problem for many of us.

I wishh that were the case! I think it is mostly because of my Traumatic Brain Injury. Although it kinda is now because I avoid doing it because of thw pain it causes lol

I feel so incredibly weak and dizzy but I must go visit my brother, out of love. I can barely get up or talk. But I'll have to push through, for him. A lot of people are counting on me. And there is communication between agencies that only I can do. I feel like I might need a hospital stay myself, no exaggeration.

Great to read you are still moving forward, but this isn't to discount your struggles. Struggles? Are they to keep us grounded, l never know why we have to go through it.

I just want my loved ones to be safe, kind, and together. There was a children's book I read my daughter once. Instead of the "Happily ever after", it concluded with "And no one was ever lonely again."

I thought about my friend's egg experiment and decided to drop an egg in some salt water. The egg ended up floating in the water (Also, I hate rent).

How to tell if an egg is hard boiled or raw - spin it on the table top. A hard boiled egg will spin like a top, a raw egg will refuse to.

Also it's a good way to tell if an egg is spoiled or not. Does it float in plain water? If yes chuck it. No need for expiration dates!

Being a drunken moron is not who I am. Escaping through a bottle is not who I am. Eating junk food and being a slob is not who I am. Damn my family for telling me I am who I am not. I can make my own healthy path without them.

I think you're going to like the sober and healthy path a lot more, and even feel better in the process!

I'd rather celebrate Skraelings Day to honor those native tribes that ran the Vikings off of North America.

I need prayer warriors. My little brother got hit by a car a little after midnight, Sunday morning. He was in surgery for 20 hours yesterday. They are putting him back into surgery right now. God bless him. Guide the surgeon's hands. And give a good report. In Jesus name, Amen.
