    A group like this helped me a bunch after I lost the queen. Trying help those who are hurting like I was.
    I think that's great. Nothing we can do will replace or give us back someone we lost that was dear to us, and some people have a different ways of dealing with grief. And grief is part of the healing process. Helping others might be one way you are using to cope with the grief and loss.

    Personally, I think it's admirable and compassionate.

    Talking about it helps more than anything. You can’t fix a grieving person. But talking about the lost person and your loss brings healing. It never goes away, but it gets easier over time. Talking about it seems to make the pain less intense and fir a shorter time.

    In my training we had a guy speak. He said grieving people don’t need to be fixed, they need to be heard.

    Fir me, the more I talked about it, the less it hurt. Two years out now, and I’m finding joy again. The first year was pretty dark.

    You compare me to a yankee one more time and I’m heading north to Palestine.

    My mother’s family, who have been Texans for generations served it with rice, so that is how we grew up. I guess the rice does the same as beans: makes the meat stretch further.

    My Cajun wife thinks they are nuts. It seems that chili is the only meal she doesn’t have rice with. (not quite true, but it makes a point)

    Chili in the UK comes with rice, but not sure I trust the Brits. They tried to serve me Cajun salmon. Salmon!!??? You can’t catch salmon in Louisiana.
    And I thought CAJUN's would eat anything.

    Watch for signs of "desperation replacement" and "blame". These can lead down a very bad place that doesn't end well.
    Some can not accept that sometimes, there is nothing to blame. Bad shit happens for no good reason. And what was lost, can never be replaced. Only teach you appreciation for what you get in the future.

    I lost my 9/80’s earlier this year. I truly miss having every other Friday off.

    I changed jobs this summer knowing I was giving them up. I do miss them but not enough to want my old gig back. I really like where I'm at now so it was a good trade for me.

    My Fridays off were a great, not busy, range day but since ammo is stupid expensive anyway I guess it's not a big loss. :)

    I've always wanted to have a job where I work 4 ten hour days then have a 3 day weekend.....it has never appeared. Oh well only two more years and I can take my place in the retired community, or maybe I will just be tired. Who knows I am really looking forward to getting away from the worthless slugs I work wit, but will truly miss the good people as well.

    Holy shit! I slept thru most of the night! Like 1 Am till 8 am. Gotta be some kind of record.

    And just like that we also met our weekly goal and it's all bonus whiring time till 0001 hours on Monday.

    Night shift was dead when I signed off. Way to whore on morning shift.

    Outstanding


    Looking ahead it appears in just a few days out low temps will fall into the 50s around here for the foreseeable future. That last stretch of low 60s made a bunch of cool weather weeds pop in the yard so winter weed n feed going down this weekend. Only gotta mow the front yard too. Skipped it was week.

    Washington won last night. 2 Nascar races yesterday, one tonight and one Saturday night. A HS football game tonight and with the stadium so close we can listen out front to the announcer if we want.

    I love this time of year. It's a reward for soldiering thru summer.

    And if anyone mentions putting chili on spaghetti, someone please find a new rope and a very tall tree!

    I see you've eaten the stuff they call chili in Cincinnati, Ohio. I did much of my training during my working years in Cincinnati, so I have, too, much to my regret.

    When I first ate that stuff on the recommendation of the locals, I was shocked. As far as I can tell, the recipe is:
    • Make some bad chili that's far too thin (like soup), with over-ground meat and too much liquid, and also lacking any heat in the seasoning.
    • Make this bad chili worse by throwing in some dark chocolate, cinnamon, and a handful of whatever other inappropriate spices are left over in your spice rack.
    • Ladle it over overcooked pasta.
    • Add some beans or chopped onion over that. If you want. It doesn't really matter since the whole dish is, by this time, so ruined it cannot be rehabilitated.
    • Pile cheap cheddar cheese on top, and
    • Serve with oyster crackers.
    Finally, you must possess the enough shameless audacity to call it "chili".

    If they didn't call it "chili" but called it something else (I nominate "stupidly seasoned sauce with some nearly-unidentifiable protein source thrown in".) then maybe I could give them a pass. That stuff (minus the cinnamon and chocolate) might be OK on a hot dog. But...

    Calling this bowl of sludge "Cincinnati chile" is an abomination to any connoisseur of actual chili, an obscene affront to the gods of gastronomy. Gourmands of every stripe would sooner shoot themselves than consume a plate of it. Taco Bell, at its worst, cannot wreck the lower digestive tract more thoroughly than this shameful horror, this abuse of the senses, this transgression against the foundational principles of palatability.

    Just the memory of that stuff turns my stomach.
