Yeah, my sister's husband use to be quite the guy, but his mental illness has contorted him with false thoughts and hard feelings. He's a wounded warrior. My sister was th only thing keeping him together, but... Tough stuff... It's crazy to think her oldest is in the university taking a philosophy class. I'm going to give her my annotated Plato's Republic book.

That’s so hard.
I was worried I was too broken to continue being an equal partner in marriage.

My mom cheated on my dad and my dad broke all the windows in the kitchen and threw the microwave out the window lol.. then my step dad used my mom for Canadian citizenship, gave her a 1000 dollar engagement ring with a tiny diamond then won the lottery and left her.

I don't even..

"My real dad pays for the food!" And I get attacked then my step dad gets kicked out and my mom visits him all the time and spends no time with her children.

Is a relationship like a hard core drug physically to the brain?

Selfishness. Dishonesty. Cheating. Shallowness. Manipulation. Jealousy.

That's all I see in modern western culture relationships.

But that's just me. Better to just get an arranged marriage because they work out better than western culture marriages as they try to make things work for the rest of the family that organized for them to be together.

I just made soup but I can't eat it because it smells like it has chemicals in it

Blue_Bird · Jan 25, 2019, 10:01 PM

There's something wrong with my triscuits too. I guess I'll have a cup of coffee instead

I hate duke energy so much. they have a total monopoly in my state. so it's either bend over and take it or live without power!

my power bills got up to $350 a month. I had to go to a charity place to get help paying it

… my generosity is one of my virtues, or as Aristotle calls it, liberality if it's translated correctly...

I had a good day at work. My female coworker thinks my standards for women are too high lol I think the kid I use to work with told her that that is why I'm single. I've dated all types of women though. I think the best one I've dated was the psychologist though. She had the most character out of all the rest i've dated. I let that one slip because i was ill. I'm still friends with her but she's with another guy now. I'm surprised they haven't married to be honest.

What's everyone's though about marriage? My sister, probably the best person i know, after all these years, is getting a divorce. She's strong as hell. She says she'll never marry again though. Honestly, I can understand why, but I've always had that mindset because of how my step father left my mother. That was my first bout of depression when he left the final time.

I've never been interested in marriage or having children

Idk consumer waste is a huge isssue.....think of how much trash 🗑 you generate on a yearly basis. Where does all that go?

Most of the energy here is nuclear ☢️ which doesn’t make much waste or pollution and companies are just tied into the grid. We also have the option to pay more if we want our energy to come from wind or solar.

We have eversource. The only power company around. Our bills typically run about $250/month. It’s ridiculous.
