Cliffhanger
Frat Attack. Content Warning.
Uncle Big walked in, with his long trench coat, fedora and a handful of envelopes. I was thinking to myself, what is he going to do or consider when we explain that my niece was sexually abused by a group of guys at a fraternity house? My mind could not shake off the horrific scene he'd bring upon them. The more I thought about this the more ill I became. The really sad part was I was more horrified by the coming possibilities of Uncle Bigs reckoning than the abuse my niece took. Don't get me wrong, and make no mistake there will be retribution, but it should be me who handles this one. My sister was in the hospital emergency department and I needed to shake off this mind trap of horrific scenarios and greet my Uncle.

Before It Ends. Top Story - February 2025. Content Warning.
I sat there for several moments trying to process everything that Aunt Mina had said. A curse put on the family by my Aunt Renee? This "shadow" that would try to drag my mom under the bed? It definitely sounded like something that could be induced by too much drinking. Maybe Aunt Mina was right? Maybe it was just my mom freaking out over old memories and hallucinations brought on by drinking too much? But... when mom was screaming and freaking out at me... she was sober. She hadn't drank any alcohol that night before bed... something was not adding up.

To reveal remarkable talent 1
Upon entering my abode, I heaved a profound sigh of relief. After engaging in that exchange of elaborate courtesies for quite a while, I was, in truth, utterly devoid of confidence.

Fortunately, that wolf demon was rather courteous, and, much to my astonishment, I managed to retrieve Williams without a hitch.

My Number one Pasta Is Loaded with Calming Fixings
Around mid-I would truly prefer not to warm up the kitchen to prepare supper. Truly, my contemplations continue to go to frozen yogurt and however I wish this was the ideal feast decision for me, at my age, it's not. I look, feel and act great — and by and large, I'm. Yet, I've had a couple of the bigger wellbeing panics throughout everyday life, including bosom malignant growth (two times). So I'd cherish the frozen yogurt — and every one of those other simple yet not-really sound things to eat — yet it wouldn't adore me back. All things being equal, I currently focus on calming fixings in all that I eat.
