Change of subject, did you guys see on the main forum page you can submit a question to Dr Drew? You gonna do it?

I can't think of anything to ask.

I have listened to his radio show bc it coincided with my commute late at night last year. I always liked it when addicts and alcoholics called in. His cohost was a recovering addict and it was good to hear how they both answered the call.

I hear a lot of ppl not liking Dr Drew but I have no dog in that fight.

Sounds like things are going well for everyone. Although Melina, hugs. I'm sorry you're still struggling.

Trach, congratulations on the job interview. That sounds very promising.

Tetra, a room with your own bathroom is a great start. Hopefully it works out for you.

I had a busy day. And I just got a message from a classmate I saw at the reunion about ways to increase class participation in giving to the school because"we're all at the peak of our careers and earning." And I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole. Yes, I SHOULD be able to give money. No I CAN'T at this time because my husband and I were profligate and he's just finally finally started a new job, today, actually. Which job I hope he manages to actually keep or our finances plummet off a cliff. So I'm a bit depressed about that money crap still. I needed to go to that reunion but it was a financial stretch.

Ruby maybe you should get a new husband!
Trading them in is always a good idea.

I know you want to change the subject Melina but, I wanted to repeat this.

Who's dr. Drew?
If we're asking questions I'd like to know why yawning is contagious

It's so cute SU! I wish it was mine!!!

I think I'm going to skip Savannah on this trip and spend my last couple of days in Roanoke with J.
I've been aching to see him again since I left.
I think next june I'll do another roadtrip from maine down along the coast to the tip of florida- I'll go then

Ruby, I hope that Mr. R.'s new job helps create financial stability in your life. You deserve a good life.

I did submit a question to Dr. Drew. It wasn't about me, per se, but more about how we respond to others who are struggling. Time will tell whether it's among those he can answer.

I'm sitting here trying to work up the courage to call my dad. Not sure I can do it tonight. I have a rip-roaring headache, and I'm bummed out about some other stuff. Not feeling strong. I might just go to bed and pull the covers over my head.

Hope Mr Ruby can hang onto the new job.
Hope your job search works out for you, Trach.
And I hope the house works out for you, Tetra.

Jen, can you take Roanoke dude to Savannah? Best of both worlds and all, someone to explore with by day and cuddle buddy at night

You're so nice, Venny. I hope he picks your question. I'm drawing a total blank on what to ask, but I'm very interested in what everyone else asks. So I'll just observe xoxo

Marty, maybe you don't feel good bc the call is on your mind? Or maybe not. Whenever you're ready to call, you can check in here before and after and you know you'll have instant support. Maybe boom, force yourself to do it really fast?
Xoxo whatever you decide

Honestly I wouldn't even call him marty.
Do you have to?
Or just pay someone to write him letters once a month about nothing.
Then he gets letters, your guilt is gone and all is well.
I bet you could find a student to do it for $15 a month or something

Hi folks.

Going to meet a friend tomorrow evening for dinner out. Will be nice to see him.

News here is riveting. The most intimate and personal side of this insanity.

The best was brought out in this. People will not allow anything to silence love. The love is greater than anything imaginable. Anything. All things.

They showed a pair of sneakers. The doctor talked about how they had the blood of 50 plus people. That he looked down. When he saw. He could not comprehend. How does one reconcile this.

Alternately... And oddly... Had a great day at class. People were cool. Fun. My table was the most fun. Go figure.

Have the sliding door open. Hot breeze coming in. OK. I got used to it. HELL no I have not. But when do I get to feel this type of heat. Bring it on.

Hi - got through a somewhat hard afternoon at home after work Some days are truly harder than others without a license.
But I am so relieved to still be walking this earth and sober!

Not doing it tonight. Tomorrow.
I do have to call him, Jen. He's legally blind and can't read letters. I have a sinking feeling he's really ill and I need to know but I can't face it today just can't.
