As someone who's in recovery

I thank God/Spirit/My Higher Power/The Universe EVERYDAY that I didn't ruin my life. Oftentimes I don't feel I deserve the life I have.

What a heartbreaking but in the end a beautiful film.

I watched it last night with a friend. I was just blown away. The filmmakers did an amazing job.

I'd love to hear feedback from my fellow DU'ers...... (This is a repost from The Lounge)

Hi All....

I'm a permanent substitute teacher (by choice, I LOVE IT).....

There is NO work during the summer because the summer school that students need to attend are run by the regular teachers.

Also, the camps and outdoor activity jobs go to the teacher aides, paraprofessionals, etc. And, I can't work outdoors in the heat because I have Fibromyalgia.

I worked for the County of Los Angeles last summer (as an in-home health provider) but it was a mess (I won't go into details).

I'd love to Nanny/babysit, help elderly people, etc. I can't do retail/fast food because I have too many food allergies and retail is a major trigger for me.

Right now I need ideas (no matter how off the wall)!

Thanks to all

I really like Keri Russell. I just started it......

Several of my friends are raving about it....

I'm curious.....

What do DU'ers consider the very best brand and flavor of ice cream?

I've been home sick for almost a week (pretty sure it's something called Norovirus). It's a horrible stomach virus and entails all that you think it would entail with the bonus of cramping and extreme fatigue. I'm in the South Bay section of Los Angeles and apparently it's really spiking here.

Anyway, I'm curious about people's thoughts regarding their ice creme preferences. It's one of my favorite things to eat....

I haven't been in a long time..... Not since they moved from the UCLA campus to the USC campus.

I have a ticket to see Matthew Perry at 4:30 in one of the auditoriums. I'm a recovering addict/alcoholic and his book really hit home for me.

I can't get there too early because it's going to be in the 80's today and that's too much for me. However, I want to get there early enough to check out some of the booths and authors. I'm watching CSPAN now trying to see what folks are wearing. It's L.A. so pretty much anything goes...I can't decide weather to wear my flip flops or my tennis shoes.... I've had harder decisions to make....

I DVR'd it and so far it's excellent.

I think it first aired in March, 2023.....
