Hitting Rock Bottom

Amber @AmbiePam (92700) • United States 30 Apr 13

Have you ever hit rock bottom? What did that feel like? I hear the "rock bottom" phrase used a lot for addicts, specifically alcoholics. They always say they all hit rock bottom before getting help. Then I think of people who...

coffeebreak Funny you should ask that AmbiePam... I hit it again this morning and it was the worst so far. And literally not a single thing I can do to fix it. I pray, but God doesn't even answer so I dont' know what I am going to do and now.

Once again Sharon's actions show her words to be lies

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 23 Apr 13

Sharon is always going about how much she cares about her kids. But again she does something that shows that isn't true. She runs off to Adam and totally forgets about picking Faith up from school. Something like that is very bad...

Dinner

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47308) • St. Catharines, Ontario 30 Apr 13

I just had my dinner: Lean Cuisine grilled chicken and vegetables with rigatoni in an herb sauce. Yummy! Especially the two big hunks of fat/skin/whatever it was. This seems to be a day for surprises.

obama on ballot due to election fraud, but we don't need voter ids

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 28 Apr 13

Democrats keep telling us that there’s no reason to worry about securing the ballot or checking voter ID because fraud happens so seldom that it’s practically inconsequential. Tell that to a jury in Indiana that just ruled both...

Under the Dome, new show in June

Birthday Clubs

Fishmomma @Fishmomma (11377) • United States 25 Apr 13

coffeebreak yeah, that's a good way to get some savings every year. I for one, tho, don't bother doing that. I find so many coupons for BOGO's or freebies, I dont' bother to plan a year ahead! I also don't like giving out my actual birth date as I know that many of those...

Free Food

Fishmomma @Fishmomma (11377) • United States 18 Apr 13

Lulu, How and When

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 17 Apr 13
