Ginger bier is quite spicy, hot if it has enough in it. What you expected sounds like sarsaparilla?

I don’t care for either, but I’m ready chicken liver in dirty rice.

Natural casings from quality sausages are pig intestines. And chitterlings.

I’ve been on crutches more than once, so pick an item.

No.

That’s demonstrably false.

Older people who have mobility issues sometimes prefer cities because markets, banks, care providers, other services can be close to home, it easily within ~5 minutes walking/golf cart distance.

My love to everyone participating in this thread. We are deserving, worthy, and worth it. And we recognize each other.

I suspect it’s more common than you may imagine. Fwiw, blood children are also treated this way.

Healing is available. It’s a slow, often painful, messy (non-linear process). But it’s doable. The alternative is stay sick, get sicker, perpetuate the cycle. You’re willing to talk about it a little, so it indicates the wounds haven’t yet calcified, and that’s a good sign. I encourage you to look into it, and various healing modalities.

Divorced parents/nasty custody battle/switching school/lunching alone, for a time. It was a long time ago, and I’ve worked through it, for the most part. My original parents never did, I think, but moved on, nonetheless. I used to feel sad for them but the more I age, the more I realize it’s probably for the best. Can’t mend together what we refuse to face, individually.

Lies! I saw your sling bonding (and approve)! Have a good night/evening/day, my friend.

If we’re trauma bonding over here, count me in. Similar tale.

❤️

Likewise.
