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?

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.

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.

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.

I wish I had some cannabis indica.

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!

Self-esteem really is the key to a better life.
Being kind to yourself is important.

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.

I wish I had a complete aversion to alcohol. I wish I did not love that poison.

Get a blood test and have a look at the health of your liver.
It puts you in overdrive in doing the right thing if you have a fatty one.
A great incentive to turn your life habits around.

The first real storm of the season has arrived in Jefferson (far north California). It has been raining here since 6am-it is 11am now. I have the buckets out collecting rainwater from the leak in the roof that is actually a leak in the opening that was originally an RV-style roof vent. That vent has always been an issue since I bought the trailer.

One week sober as of today. I did an Instacart order for delivery later today, and I did my best to ignore the ads for beer and gin that they were pushing on me, seeing as I have ordered both of those things on Instacart in the past.

Staring temptation in the face and emerging victorious. Keep it up. Every small victory is one to celebrate.
