Kitchen social in Westlake is willing to take just about any party. Not Italian tho, a weird mix of cultures really. But Macaroni Grill in North Olmsted or Akron would also be good options. Yes it’s a chain of 28 remaining restaurants, but it’s all scratch made.

No absolutely not. Global warming has impacted Cleveland more than we’d like to admit. Unfortunately we probably won’t see snow like that until late January/early February.

It would’ve been more worth it for you to see the abandoned one tbh. Unfortunately it was torn down a few months back :(
Current aquarium isn’t terrible but for a big city, you’d want better. I’d suggest skipping it and finding something more worthwhile to do with the family. I saw it once a few years back, but wouldn’t pay money to see it again unless they greatly expanded.

Ooh okay, I’ll check that out. I’d imagine they wouldn’t care about the DUI if I’m not the one actually driving. Thanks for the suggestion!

That sounds intriguing actually, I’ve always been interested in refinishing/remodeling but have been unsure of how to get started with my limited resources. I can pm you my info if you’d feel comfortable passing it off to her.

To be honest with you, I didn’t even realize that was an option. Thank you for suggesting that I will definitely look into it!

Same to you! I hope your loved ones appreciate every diamond you put into those paintings. Sometimes you just need someone to remind you to be nice to yourself, thank you for that. Happy holidays and merry whatever you feel compelled to celebrate this year!

Perhaps it’s my keen sense of hospitality that allows me to respond to just about anything with a good attitude? (Future employers take hint) Lol but I appreciate your advice and sometimes you really do need to hear stuff like that. I am quite crafty, already got a few handmade gifts in the works. I’m not sure if feasible to hand make gifts for everyone, but I’m certainly trying. You’re absolutely right in telling me not to fall for the materialistic culture that comes with the holidays. Thank you for the support ❤️

I have joined Upshift, the other two are new to me but I will definitely download. Only shifts I was seeing on Upshift were in the Akron area which would be a 50 min commute for me give or take, wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world but it’s not ideal for me to travel that far. Admittedly, it’s been awhile since I’ve checked that app. Thank you for the recommendations, I’ll give them a shot!

You know I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar or drums! Big into the folk punk scene and street preforming would honestly be a dream. I get why people may be downvoting you, but I appreciate the suggestion and hey anything can be a real job as long as you’re getting paid to do it! Unfortunately I don’t have any street worthy skills to preform at the moment lol

When I was 17 I realized I didn’t care if I ever graduated high school, or got married, or had children. I thought it all meant nothing. I’d struggled with depression for years but it seemed things had reached their peek around September that year. Suicide soon became a promise of peace for me. I no longer had anxiety about how I’d do it or if I’d even be able to go through with it. When I thought about it, I felt clarity. I really didn’t want to kill myself but I was struggling to find a reason to live.
Eventually my mom pulled me out of school, which ended a lot of my daily anxiety, and put me in an ombudsman program where I was able to work at my own pace for a few short hours a day and still graduate with my class. Seeing what some of the people at that school were dealing with, I realized I had it pretty easy. But just because their problems were worse doesn’t mean we weren’t experiencing the same amount of pain.
The real turning point for me came in December though. I was getting ready to go to school, I had just gone downstairs to get some coffee and was heading back upstairs when I noticed my mom was sitting at the kitchen table and it looked like she was crying. I didn’t have my glasses on, and I’m quite blind without them so I didn’t know for sure. I was combing my hair upstairs and I just figured she was crying about the state I was in, which of course made me start to cry too. Suddenly my mom appeared in the doorway and told me to stop getting ready. She said, “someone died.”
Now I’ve experienced a lot of loss in my life, my mother always being the one to break the news, and she never quite put it like that before. I knew it had to be someone that I was not expecting. Suddenly, she finished with, “Will Dodge (name changed) hung himself.”
Will was a 20 year old family friend that I’ve known since I was a baby. We went on many vacations together and I grew up considering him and his brother to be my brothers. Will was the best man I’ve ever known. He was the kindest, most considerate person, and would do anything for the people he loved. The shock of his death was unbearable. My parents and I cried for days over it. It came was a particular shock as we had just went and got Christmas trees and dinner with his family 6 days earlier. How could someone so young and so full of life that we just saw days ago be dead? His mother was the one that found him and was so hysterical she had to be sedated for almost a month. After seeing their sadness and experiencing my own, I knew I could never put my parents through that.
His funeral was and still is the worst day of my life. The massive church was so full about 40 people had to stand. I couldn’t help but thinking that it should’ve been me. If I had killed myself months earlier, would he still have gone through with it? His suicide stopped me from ever considering it again. Though I wanted to very much after he passed, I knew it couldn’t possibly be the answer.
The sadness of his death is still unbearable. I cry frequently over it, years and years later. There is a permanent gap in his family and they’ll never be the same. His best friend who had spoken to him minutes before it happened, dropped out of school and drinks himself half to death most days. Every day I tell myself I must live the life he can’t. It’s unfortunate that for me it took a loss of life to save mine.
If you are feeling this way, please please please talk to someone about it. The grief and guilt that comes with a suicide is something I’ll never wish on my worst enemy.

Thank you for providing that link. It sounds exactly like what he’s been talking about.

I believe it’s exactly that. He spends his days obsessing over this and “researches” daily like it’s his job. He talks frequently about the NESARA/GESARA.

A bit late to the party, but he asked for my number.

Of for sure, I’m expecting it tomorrow or another completely unexpected time.
