I'm An Alcoholic
Its a tough position since it's a sibling. I can only speak from my experience, but the steps tell us to make amends wherever possible except when to do so would injure ourselves or others. To me, this is one of those situations where the amends would cause more harm than good because of the circumstances and my sponsor would have told me to stay the hell away, because bringing up past things like this could cause more emotional damage to the victim. I don't know the family dynamic, but seems to me like this creates an elephant in the room type situation, so the amends is warranted. In going through the amends, I've always been told to make them in person, say my part, then shut up and listen to what the other person has to say. Seems to me that that opportunity wasn't given to your loved one. The whole purpose of the amends is to set things right with the harmed person and honor their wishes. I think a response letter for them to say their part is more than warranted.

All things SNL
I thought of this as more of a tribute to Prince. I always enjoyed Fallon's story about Prince making an impromptu performance at the SNL 40th after party.

Classic Car thread
We picked up the truck in GA this weekend and brought it home last night. For the time being I’m parking it in storage until I can make room in my garage or find a shop. I still need to inventory it but I do have the hood, rear benders, tailgate and bed pieces. Most of those have had the body work and are primed. Some touch up work is needed in places but based on my limited knowledge it looks close. The original engine was replaced with a 350. It’s a rebuilt motor my father in law put in before he had the body work started but it has been sitting for years with no fluids in it. I know I’ve got my work cut out for me but am excited to take this on.

Classic Car thread
I definitely want to do it and my wife (no pics) is on board. I’ve just never taken on a project like this before and not sure what the order of operations would be. Won’t even know for sure what all needs to be done until I lay eyes on it myself. Going to do some research on it. I feel confident about doing some of the mechanic and wiring work myself. I imagine this will be a project I complete a little at a time as budget allows.

Classic Car thread
My Father-in-law is giving us his 59 Chevy pickup. He’s had it since he was a teenager and is only the second owner. Its currently in a friends garage in Georgia who’s worked on it here and there over the years. The guy is going into hospice so he’s got to get it and wants to go ahead and pass it down. I know it’s going to take some work and $$ but I’ve always liked the idea of something like this. From what he says, the engine still runs the body is pretty much ready to be assembled and painted. The cab is on it, from the pictures I’ve seen the bed needs to go back on. I know we’re looking at some work still but I’ve no idea what I’m getting myself into. I feel ok with doing some basic mechanic and assembly work but I’m clueless about paint and body work. Any advice is appreciated. Pic for reference but I’m not sure this is even the most recent picture.

No, not at all. Some of us still go to BBG too. Some of us just had a vision for a new group that wasnt necessarily the clubhouse style AA.

Suburban group in Plano is another legit one. My home group AA101 in Rockwall is a fairly new group but is a strong one.

I Blindly Dive Into Buying and Selling Antiques
I've got several tubs of antique porcelein dolls. Some were hand poured and painted by my stepdad's grandmother, but then there are others that were manufactured. Some are by a German Manufacturer called K&R. I've found a little info on the web that says they were made up until sometime in the 1940's. Would be interested to see what some of those are worth.

Laundry systems for families
My teens have been doing their own laundry for a few years. They each have an assigned "laundry day" to get their stuff washed and dried.

Someone pointed out that Kayce's dead son is buried there, could that make it designated as an Indian burial ground?

I'm in the same boat along with Josh Allen and Kyle Pitts....frustrating.- Check out these fucking chips
Saw these last night. Did not want to try.- I'm An Alcoholic
That is true, and I'm not against rehab (I made a trip there myself). In my case, I wasn't willing and honest when I checked out and found myself drunk again within 90 days because I took the middle of the road approach. I knew the solution, but wasn't willing to fully surrender and be completely honest. I've seen this experience in many others along the way.- I'm An Alcoholic
I'll third this, rehab is a place to dry out and hopefully get introduced to the long term solution, but it doesn't work if they aren't willing or ready. To quote the spiritual experience: "Willingness, honesty and open mindedness are the essentials of recovery. But these are indispensable."- Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (Netflix, Summer 2024, Bruckheimer, Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, Jospeh Gordon-Levitt)

My youngest was a private adoption (basically surrendered to us by birth mother). SD was not in picture. If i recall, our attorney had us run ads in local paper looking for him and the non-response was considered is surrender of rights.- Excel help
Yeah, a text to column to separate the pre-fix out would be easiest. There may be a way to incorprate the "Right" formula to where it only searches by the "right" 5 characters, if the format for the part numbers and prefixes are all the same number of characters. Example being: =Right(SK-A-050,5) will return A-050.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
I saw this last week while touring the Colosseum. I wonder how many victories they claim here?- I'm An Alcoholic
Thanks for this. I have talked it over with both my sponsor and Grand sponsor and both have said the same. The kids may not see it all now, but I suspect theyll see the big picture when they're older.- I'm An Alcoholic
This may turn into more of a vent session for me, but how do you guys with kids deal with family logistics and AA involvement? My kids (13,15,16) have told their mom and step dad that they don't feel like a priority in my life and that they are backburner to AA. Their step-dad even told me the other night I went form "Raging Alcoholic to obsessed with AA and church". I've tried to have this conversation directly with the kids, but the perception I get from them is they are good with things. I emphasize with them constantly that I am available to hear anything they have to say. Sometimes I think this is probably more their mother and I not seeing eye-to-eye. I have committed meetings I attend each week (usually when the kids aren't with me) and I don't talk to them about AA unless they ask. There have been a few occasions over the past few years where I have missed a function due to an AA commitment, but they have bene few and far between. To me they are a priority.....I also know they don't get sober me without AA.- "The Night that Changed Pop" on Netflix
I have memories from my early childhood of sing along to this record with my Mom. I don’t think you could get that many people in the same room to record a song today, so it was definitely a historical moment. The part about Stevie leading Ray Charles to the bathroom had me rolling. - 2024 fuck fantasy football
