Mr. Pickles
Mr. Pickles
The moving van pulled into the driveway, almost getting too close to the garage. Daisy, who was following in the car behind them, rolled her eyes as she parked on the street.
“That’s what I get for hiring through Facebook,” she moaned as she exited the car.
Tyler, her fiancée’, chuckled. “Look, they didn’t ram into it on purpose. Let’s ( Read more... ) -
I'm Done With You
To quote Jay Leno when he interviewed Hugh Grant:
“What the hell were you thinking?”
All I ever did was love and care about you. I supported all your crazy ideas. I waited patiently to see if you would find a job and help more around the house. I worked and helped you when I could, even if it meant not getting the things I wanted.
And yet, you were ( Read more... ) -
All I Know Is Toxic Relationships And How Bad They Are
I feel as though, for my entire life, almost every man in my life has been toxic. It goes back to when I was a child. A father is meant to show you how to be a man, but mine wasn’t a real man. He was an abuser.
My father abused me in every way, making me feel as though no man would ever love someone as screwed up as I was. His abuse was drilled ( Read more... ) -

A Cashier's Manifesto
I have been a cashier in customer service for over 25 years. In all that time, I have seen so many of the same things happen. I've worked in two kinds of retail, but the moments are similar. One would think, after the year that was 2020, people would change. For a while, they did. But we are right back to where we were: cashiers working hard while ( Read more... ) -
Time To Stop
I've always been an overachiever. I try too hard, I go big, and I stress myself out way too easily. I have to be sure everyone is happy, that everyone has what they want, that my work is done fast. I go home tired, stressed, and exhausted, with no time to even look at my family, let alone talk to them. I wasn't enjoying things because I was too ( Read more... ) -

Take Your Pain Away
To me, October has always been one of my best months. I feel like a lot of good stuff happens. Fall is at its peak, the weather is a lot more comfortable, pumpkin products come out, horror movies daily on TV, and, of course, Halloween. And, now, my wedding anniversary. It's a magical time. Even with it being 2020, I feel positive about this month, ( Read more... ) -
Homeless
I'm homeless. Have been since Feb of this year. I have been in an out of hotel rooms for just about 6 months. My husband and I have crashed on people's sofas in between paychecks and whatever cash we can get, we put it for a hotel. The money we have spent on hotels we could have had an apartment.
Why can't we? Simple: we can't afford it.
By that, I ( Read more... ) -
Dead Man Walking....Away From Wrestling
Watching The Last Ride on the WWE Network had me in tears.
The Undertaker announced he was walking away from wrestling.
For so long and for many years, in my eyes, Taker was an incredible presence. No matter what persona I saw, I could only be excited and emotional seeing that entrance live. Whether it was in a haze of smoke or riding his ( Read more... )
