pjbear05 Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 Crystal Mangum, the exotic dancer at the center of the Duke Lacrosse team scandal, now admits she made up the story of the alleged assault. Put this skank in a cage with Mike Nifong (prosecuting DA), let them wallop each other to a finish. 2
lerxt1990 Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 Pain. But it'll get better. But.. why is it a surprise that some of us get cranky and curmudgeonly at an older age? :)
grep Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 (edited) I found out late Sat night that the guy who gave me my first real job died 3 years ago. I would not be where I am today if he didn't have faith in me, and give me the work. It was the chance I needed, and I made the most of it back in the late 80's. He was also there for me when I was going through some shit back then. His patience and kindness was eternal. We built a friendship, and I was able to help him with some stuff too. It was also through him that I was able to beat down my parent's concepts of racism. His name popped into my head tonight, and I figured I'd google the guy. Dumbass that I am, I should have dome this 10 years ago - and thanked the man. I even remember the sound of his voice, saying my name...which I have not heard since 1990. I don't even remember my parent's voices. That's the influence the man had on me. RIP CR. You were a class act, a mentor, and a friend. Thank you. I grew into a better person because of you.

jamie Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 My MIL recently told me some pretty bad news about her health. All I can do is pray for her and give it to God so it doesn’t tear me apart. 2
invisible airwave Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Seeing the photos from the houses in Pacific Palisades burned down just gutted me. I was in Santa Monica last Saturday to be honest. Stay safe, everyone. 2

Leaving things to God is a great opportunity we have. I wish your MIL better health if that is possible. 1
Nova Carmina Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Have to put a family dog down today. I'm not even going to pretend to be stoic about this. 2
