Ok... The clown thing. Was not going there but here is why I prefer no more clowns. Not just here but like everywhere. My mother loved them. She had about 30 Franklin mint clowns that I have to admit were kind of well done. I bought one for her every freaking holiday for years.
She had a small pottery business... Named... What else... Clown country. My a hole step father who had complete control over her had two people sing send in the clowns very sappily at her McFuneral he put together.
If we never talk clowns again I will not be offended. Nor will I be offended if we do.. But it's Just I have a rather unfavorable response to clowns.
Just sayin.... Downer I know but I shared for the amusement not the morbidity.

Because it's been too long since someone talked about bacon. And it's weird.

I am afraid of wacky people
. hey petals 
So it's friday here … hows people doing ?
got yourself planned for tonight ?
avoiding the alcohol store ?
taking the different route home ?
going out with no money or cards ?
At the beginning we have to be mindful of these things as time goes on they become second nature , or we find we become more content with sobriety and alcohol has less of a pull .
Certainly i'm convinced i'd get nothing good from alcohol , i don't know why i started it .. it makes me feel sick .
Have a mindful friday , think first , m

Awesome advice M!
I did a number of small tricks. I did the money thing. I would hurry Thursday night to go buy all the food I needed in the house. Then actually go to the bank Friday and move all our money from the checking to a savings that was not attached to anything electronically. The tellers always asked if I wanted this linked to an atm or checking. I always said NO!
Then when the storm of the weekend hit. Friday afternoons. I would get a bit frantic at the thought of no access. But I sat on my hands until the banks closed.
I would start my drinking early fridays. I think to get blurry eyed so I could run to the bank real quick.
The really sad part... My dealer knew this. So he just fronted me the crack. There I was Saturday mornings or Monday mornings pulling literally a thousand dollars out to cover the many drop offs I ordered. Putting cash under the front mat before work as I was still high and drunk heading to work.
That food I bought on Thursday all still in the fridge. I had to throw much away. Did not feel like eating until around wednesday. I would go get ice cream in an effort to revive my soul. I wanted to feel normal. Never did I.
It was hell. Effing hell.
Today my money sits free in my hands. I even have a few hundred on the counter for things I have planned this weekend. The tarot reading and new bedding. The change in me and my life is night and day. I was just done. Please never start crack. Never.

sheesh ... I turn my back for a bit and ya'll are chewing on cotton balls, freaking out over clowns and eating bacon ice cream.
Ok, I'll admit the bacon ice cream sounds pretty darn good.
Thanks for that recipe, Strat! I may just have to try that one.

Uh....woah.
I hate clowns. I hated going to the circus, too when I was a kid. My grandmother took my cousins, my sisters and me every year. I remember always wanting to sit waaaaay in the back in case some blundering, socially awkward clown came up to us and wanted to make us part of their act.
Have you heard about the gang of clowns in Central California?
Police arrest one of 20 clowns terrorizing county in California

I cannot wear socks or undergarments with holes in them. Creeps me out. I can wear a holey colored t-shirt with a logo on it to work in the yard, but not a single hole in a white t-shirt under another shirt. I freak.

Got another traveling option for you, Ruby! How about North Conway, New Hampshire? Way too long of a drive with young children, but you could fly into Manchester, NH, Logan Airport (Boston), or maybe Portland to visit Weasel. He could take your family to his favorite restaurant!
I'm originally from New England and used to go to North Conway and all around New England for summer vacations. Tons of things to do with children and the weather is perfect.
Have a great day everyone!
