Saving Fish from Drowning

Posted Today at 05:44 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and the good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding. – Albert Camus

A pious man explained to his followers: “It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they...

Anniversary Pizza Party!

Posted Today at 05:34 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

Today was the great B-day / Anniversary Pizza Party!

It was so awesome!
