I hate Walmart!

i rarely ever set foot in the place and will go out of my way to avoid shopping there.

tonight i made the mistake of giving walmart the benefit of the doubt and walked in the door.. they didn't have the main item i was looking for, but they did have one other small item.

i headed to the front to check out only to find they had only a few check-outs open and all of the lines were far too long.

What can you do with a heroin addict?
by katiekitten in
1. jw

or more to the point, what can you do with your cousin who is in love with a heroin addict, lives with him, has a child to him, is regularly beaten by him to the point that she went into a womens refuge last year, and supports him with all her income because she is the breadwinner.. sigh.. i just got in touch with my cousins again after several years, and i find out my beautiful cousin has been brutalised by this fuckwit for years.

but until she is ready to see hes ruining her life nobody can do anything to help her.. the whole family has given up on saying anything because she always goes back to him.

she loves him.

i started yesterday about my mom being a jw and my being so confused about, well, just about everything.

like i said earlier my parents got divorced and then remarried.

my dad goes to the meetings sometimes when he is not out gambling or making someone miserable with his hateful demeanor.
