FridgerGEtor Update
The St. Vinnie's delivery team was just here to take away old GEtor Warmie III and leave GEtor Profile the III. The deliverymen worked very hard, and eventually the old fridge was gotten through the doorway sans doors and the new one was deposited in the garage because it'll need the doors removed before it can come in ( Read more... ) -
My Mother is a Narcissist CW child abuse
I've been no contact with my mom for years now. I talk about our last conversation below. To be honest, She has not reached out to me since I just stared at her in silent disbelief at what she had said to me then. She just turned around and disappeared out my front door. I say I went no contact because at this point, if she did contact me, I would ( Read more... ) -
Recent Surgery Maybe Fixed Two Issues! CW Medical abuse. If you want to avoid, stop at the ER part
The huge red "bruise" on my front that looked like clamp marks is gone. It was located exactly over an area that would send out bursts of pain at random for no trackable reason. I noted my diet, sleep schedule, what muscles I used recently, in an attempt to figure out why it was happening ( Read more... ) -

Parental Gaslighting is a Form of Grooming.
Gaslighting children prepares them to question their own perceptions and to doubt their own memories. So when someone later in life does the same, the old survival recordings kick in and instead of being steadfast, they are more easily convinced. It's a powerful tendency to be aware of when anyone abuses you in any way and denies it instead of ( Read more... ) -
I got so much done today!!
Big thank you to Connor Salisbury for coming over to help with my plumbing issue. He was able to determine the issue was not necessarily torque by tightening the T adapter all the way. When it was in the position the T arm blocked the handle to turn the water on ( Read more... ) -
Immigration?
The whole concept of policies to keep "immigrants" out of one's country is so alien to me. There's no such thing as an "Immigrant" on this planet, except maybe tardigrades. Let's let those people die in the sun, starve to death, or perish trying to reach a better life. Because they are they and we are we. What broke with humanity that the reaction ( Read more... ) -
