Re: Newbies Nest
NS - thank you so much for sharing that poem. It's perfect for times like these. I haven't released my tears yet but I will. It feels like 2020 has just been full of big losses. You're right though - there are many other ways to self-soothe, to cope, to escape. I think losing RBG after months of Covid and then 10 days of literally being unable to step outside the house due to toxic smoke was just almost too much to bear. It was a huge wake-up call that even my very strong quit can turn vulnerable. I will be sharpening and honing my tools over the next few weeks.
Nar - you're right, I don't drink so there's no way I'd reach for wine or anything else. It just feels like we're trapped in a horrible nightmare, and I'm terrified that it's going to get worse. I'm generally not a pessimist so I don't stay parked in that fear for long, but this is about as scared as I've been in my life when it comes to our country and planet.
Lav - the hayride sounds fun, and what a great discovery about wearing a mask to avoid sneezing!
Ava - a non-drinking dating site sounds like a great idea. I think there are at least boxes you can check when you create profiles on some sites that let you describe yourself and also what you are/aren't open to in another person. I met my now-wife through a site like that and although I was still drinking at the time we met, I think that was an option in the profile creation area.
Hellos and waves everyone. Happy weekend in the nest.

I was having a telemed appointment and the doctor asked me about drinking and I just told her "surprisingly no" while the world seems to be drinking more us on mwo are not touching a drop thru all the B.S I think I've actually surprised myself by not wanting to drink, Wags, hope your air is clearer, what a strange time and the weather seems to be reflecting it, being so dry that fires are outta control, I don't know what is causing the smoke to linger here, I think it's the one burning by San Bernardino,hope you're feeling better, I never followed much politics before so I barely know who RGB was it what she's done but now I hear only good things about her, still doing grocery delivery, still work at the as but salon, got into a small argument yesterday with a guy who said I cut his hair to short, it was long and scraggly and I scissor cut it to make it presentable, he wasn't super pissed but when I told him free of charge since you're not pleased and just please leave is when things got heated, he called me an effin b! tch and insisted on paying, ok whatever, just go!!!! People just aren't themselves at all, so much anger and I know cuz I feel it too
