What up, or can you be public?

I didn’t see Lou at first but I do now!

They went into the tuna salad. Gives it a sweet crisp in every bite. I used to do celery but that’s just crisp, I needed a little sweet.

That mofo COOKS. That’s what rock-n-roll looked like when I was 13 or so. Very Lou, David, Mick, etc. And that choppy sound. Thankies.

What did you do with the apples?

Back in September 2012 I started to build my own Soap Box Derby car from an old bed frame of Maggie’s and a couple spare ten-speed tires. Sadly this is as far as I got.

thankies! t’o’j to my eye.

Somewhere in one of my recovery books it says something along the lines of, “when sharing our pain if it helps just one person with their pain then it was worth it.”

I’m happy that my sharing is helping with your sharing 😊

I don’t expect I’ll ever really understand this, but the way you write about it always just sounds so honest that it makes it more ok for me to talk about the stuff I have issues with.

Because he has enlightenment as his aim, a bodhisattva-mahāsattva is so called.

I still have Walter Becker on my mind but I was very struck by your comments, as usual. “Bodhisattva” is of course a rockin’ lil’ number by Steely Dan.

In other news, I feel like I’ve said these things before. I’m not thinking plagiarism, just that you are so completely in tune with things I’ve thought for a long time.
I am super-qualified on relapse.

Oh, I forgot about this…

> but I am never lying when I say that I know they’re going to get it.

That’s awesome, good job. I try to spread self-confidence as far as the eye can see. There’s a shortage.

> that people can tell I been bullied.

Yep, the people who’ve been bullied, generally there’s a sign or two. I’m sure people can see mine as well.

I’ve been thinking about this on and off since the topic’s came up here and thoughts of my tormenter have crossed my eyes a few time. I’ve wanted to write something because it’s something worth writing about but mostly I’m so far removed from all of that that. My mind doesn’t wander too far.

More than anything I just think, “what a dick.”

I never thought of him, never suspicioned him of being gay but looking at pictures l like him on the cover of Creem all I can think is, “yep.”

There’s probably been whole legions of JP devotees who did a second take when he came out of the closet, thought maybe this leather I’m wearing head to toe has been sending an unintended message.

🤔😊

For sure. I used to put the movie on and draw for hours when I was a teenager. The album still holds up after all the years. More than holds up. It’s stella.

Tonight the low is to be 45°F up this way. I won’t be having my windows open anymore at night. 😊

I forgot to comment. I realized in the middle of the night. I just love “The Wall”. An all time favorite.

i had the windows open. :)

I always tell ‘em they’re doing a good job and I always tell ‘em they’re further along than I was at this point. I always tell ‘em I know they’re going to get it. I’m sometimes lying about them doing a good job and being further than I was but I am never lying when I say that I know they’re going to get it. If they stay with me they are going to get it. Boy, are they going to get it. :)

It’s amazing the way the Universe continues to teach her students. I had 2 different abusive bosses. 3 actually. One of them was a lot more mental than the other 2. The 2 who were mean SOB’s got their just deserts in my time. It was sweet. I am not a harsh task master. When I teach, I usually just show ‘em how until they know for themselves. Then they can ask questions as the spirit moves ‘em if they want to know more.
