  1. So did an article come out about David hicks? Just saw the flood of ou predictions and was wondering that was people following the leader or if there was some actual info. And of course arghh if this is true. I know it was a semi long shot but come on Giles
  2. I wasn’t saying he was tattling I’m just saying that I’m sure other students would say that. Kids are ruthless as this thread knows. I’m just saying that crowd will label him a tattler or narc or whatever words they use today. All of which are wrong and can do massive emotional damage at that age. That’s the fear sadly.
  3. Yea do it don’t feel bad. I worry your son may be labeled a narc by that crowd but I assume that’s a crowd that he shouldn’t hang around in the first place. The real weighing here is the emotional stress on your son by “tattling” versus doing what’s right. I think it’s a good time to teach your son a valuable lesson about teaching lessons and press charges. Middle/high school sucks so regardless there’s not a “win” option that I see so might as well protect your son.
  4. Oh I know there are better options, point I was trying to make was that it’s sad that most people just want to turn on any news station and see news about this momentous event yet it’s just political talk with small updates on the rocket. Should be the other way around.
  5. I woke up this morning excited to watch this coverage and see this awesome sight. Turned on the first news station on my guide-cnn- and all they were talking about was Lindsey graham and trump. Then fox, same thing but at least a small video in the corner of the rocket. Then msnbc..don’t get me started. I know they eventually switched over to it but it’s sad that major news stations can’t get over politics for an hour while an effin awesome rocket was supposed to travel to the moon. Doesn’t matter who you support, show some actual news, we know this trump..thing will be there tomorrow.
  6. Wait we are really expecting sanders to start over billingsley? I don’t know to be excited or confused about that. Someone that has played TE well for a juggernaut or a soph that could have been a DE-where we are dreadful. If sanders made that jump then great but interesting for sure.
  7. TLDR-is there any scenario we send troops to Ukraine or is a missile shootout from us much more likely? Was at a get together last night and have a conversation with a seemingly smart guy and he brought up an interesting question. If a nuke was dropped by rus or the power plant fails causing a disaster, would we retaliate with nukes or would we actually go over there? Basically we were debating what it would take for us to send troops there, not NATO troops, our RWB superheroes. Is there ever a possibility for that with how it is now or is it pretty clear that it would never happen and just turn into a warhead contest.
  8. I think the agreement should be that Russia gets 10 square miles of land that previously wasn’t theirs, and any animals on the land (hopefully pigs). Putin gets to go home saying he expanded Russia and got some food with it. While the ukr is happy they didn’t lose their land and gave Putin pigs as a symbol and they are secretly infected with some poison agent. Win win all around.
  9. I think it’s safe to say this thread was the cause but I was reading it before bed last night and had a dream where part of it was me watching some news about zelensky being assassinated and the mayhem that ensued. Basically the rest of the dream was pretty global madness. Sadly I’ve had some premonition dreams in my life and I hope this isn’t one of them. Would be terrible for him to be killed, have a feeling that would escalate things quite a bit.
  10. @YGIFS so you haven’t gone to an in person meeting yet but today you might for the first time? Can I challenge/urge you to not only introduce yourself proudly but I urge you to share. I know you want to go and feel it out, everyone does. But try to share, my first meeting was in front of 500 successful men with years of life and sobriety success. As I stood at the mic shaking (it is much easier in a group of 15 to share), and I’m pretty comfortable talking in front of people but not this, this felt like speaking to the world but I got so many high fives, fist bumps, good jobs that the very next meeting in front of 2500 rich LA people, i froze but ended up getting stuff out and the same thing happened-it doesn’t matter what you say, it’s that you do it and after yeah you might be shaking but the thought of connecting with one person who might no go use or drink after because of what you said is a very amazing feeling. I know these are long but long story short, SHARE! Can be 15 seconds can be 2 minutes. I’ve heard people say “I hate this, wish I was using” get standing ovations because that’s true honesty and now people know. So just like Nike-just fucking do it
  11. I know I could have edited the post above but thought I’d share, today is 1 year 8 months sober from pain killers, fentanyl/heroin-my longest time ever in a decade-have had a couple 11 months but never over a year. Been struggling the past couple of months with bad anxiety, why I ultimately started using in the first place-made pain and anxiety go away with some euphoria(the perfect mix for those ailments). Trying to figure that out but luckily I haven’t met anyone around me that’s a plug which makes things a lot easier-people, places, and things is so true. It’s great because the harder it is to find something (I know I could but it’d take time) the easiest it is because you give up from frustration. Long story short, there’s so many options for people if you struggle with anxiety or depression-ketamine therapy, magnet therapy, etc, just takes time to see what works and I’m in that now. Definitely not easy but hey creeping closer to 2 years! Tis all! Much love to those succeeding and struggling today
  12. These are all things that you plant in your mind unknowingly that are addiction slowly sliding his way back in. Yes it’s weird, and weird can sadly escalate to uncomfortably which puts ever addict in danger. It’s supposed to be hard, awkward, etc. but when I heard the guy before say he may not need it, thinks he can white knuckle it definitely raised the blood pressure. I know everyone is different but I have rarely seen anyone on the fence truly succeed. Yes you can not take a drink or hit but are you really happy? Is that success? Success is happiness and content with some self confidence in there. Always scares me when people come in with plans of their own when AA wants it the exact other way. I hope people become aware of that, it took me a few years and I still continue struggle with it at times. I did my current first year in the groups and connected but a few months back I thought I could take a few meetings off and I got back into a dangerous state. I can’t run the show but I sometimes try to and when I do I can feel the scales start to tip the wrong way. Sometimes you just have to let go, do what you’re told and know things get better. But please don’t tell me you’ve spent years tearing down your life but you don’t need help from others or don’t need to listen to what others have had success with.
  13. I’m watching the Denton guyer game, I thought Jackson Arnold was the qb? Wonder why he isn’t out there. Is he hurt?
  14. Fiancé and I are debating a trip up there. Have kinda been holding off due to all of the craziness but that doesn’t seem to be going away. I’ve lived there before so I know the deal, stuff can go down anywhere it’s just life and this thread is making me want to get back there. Maybe October is the move? Debating if seeing New York in winter for the first time would be a plus or just miserable and cold. I know I’d love it regardless but don’t know about my west coaster
  15. Oh man if we go 4-8…nope not even entertaining that. Yes surly would be hilarious but the heartbreak would be tough. Would you start thinking about another team…nope, fuck that. Hook em
  16. Geez that video of the forest is intense. I’ve always wondered if it’s better to get shot when you don’t “know” it’s coming, that forest would definitely lean that way.
  17. There’s no way that video is really from the war, that guy is certainly yoking a goat…sweet jesus
  18. Damnit, was the voice of my Sunday’s growing up. Will always have some of those calls in my head. He was a real good guy. Sad day.
  19. I think the tweet from Latvia and their 3 million dollar contribution was liked and retweeted more than our 3 billion dollar package. Take that for what it’s worth.
