32 Mistakes That People Made In Their Life And Said Never Again

I hope you'll find some support. 12 step didn't work for me but there are a myriad of other choices. I do agree, though, with their "one day at a time." approach. Best of luck to you. <3

32 Mistakes That People Made In Their Life And Said Never Again

As a cook I regularly had to roast and peel green chiles and I was always careful about washing my hands. One time I wasn't quite cautious enough and touching my, um, nether regions later was abruptly reminded of it. But knowing that capsaicin is oil-based I grabbed some nearby massage oil and saved the day. Remember that for your own protection.

Back in my punk days about 90% of my clothes were black and since I lived with someone they were relegated to the floor of closet which had no light. Dressing was an adventure, generally decided largely by the "sniff test." (me in 1978) https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/1978-Stan-691b9f617be35.jpg

Man Helps Immigrant GF Get A Degree And Watches Her Succeed Just To Let His Ego Ruin Everything

Literal GC mule here. I married my Venezuelan ex- almost 40 years ago and it was largely so she could stay in the US (she lives in Canada now). It was the smartest (& luckiest) thing I ever did. We have beautiful 36 y.o. daughter who's much more financially successful than either of her old hippie parents. My family isn't especially close but even when she & I were having troubles and getting divorced, her family still considered me part of the family. That may have been, at least in part because of our child but I don't think so. I have pointed out though, that marrying into a Latino family is like joining the M@fia: Easy to get in. Impossible to get out.

Denmark has a national park, Rebild, where they celebrate the Fourth every year. The land was purchased by Danish-Americans for a park in 1912 with the stipulation that they celebrate it. I was there for it in 1966 and found the Danes very light-hearted about. The park also has a small museum, the Lincoln Log Cabin Blokhusmuseet. The log cabin (a Swedish introduction to the US) is larger than any home Mr Lincoln lived in before the White House.

Don't count on this. Bilking (as it is known) is a serious offence. There is a difference between intentionally not paying and merely forgetting your wallet. It will be up to the individual retailer to decide whether an IOU is sufficient or whether they wish to call the police there and then!

Signatures are very much on their way out in the rest of the world. We use PIN numbers and various secondary authorisation methods instead. If you paying at POS, then it can be a text message or voice call. If you are paying online it is often authorise in an app. There are also laws that retailers must accepts cards and cash equally with no additonal charges for either. The US is very backwards when it comes to card use.

Treasure Island Inn. Demolished in 2022. It was abandoned in 2004 when hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne hit Florida. I believe it was abandoned when Ivan hit specifically. Ivan was a cat 5 hurricane that did massive damage up and down the coast of Florida.

I was exploring this old sardine factory.

Tons of caved in roof, cool washing room and then we smell this smell.

It was something rotten, so of course we have to find what it is.

After 5 minutes one of us has puked already, the girls are long gone and only 3 of us remain. We round a corner. We see a body. Me and the other guy jump back and our favorite weirdo kicks the body. It clangs.

Some guy filled a jacket and pants with broken sardine jars, genius.

Look up VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) and how they would use the bodies of cadavers of black people and throw their corpses in a well. They weren't discovered until 1994.I saw an article in 2015 in their weekly local but I can't find it now.

Here's a picture showing Wilson when I got him home that day and today, a little over 15 months later.
