DenoPenno comments on Feb 15, 2021:

It is a formula style of writing and the number 40 can simply mean "a long time." Some people put significance to all of the "magic numbers" of the bible but you have to understand that the stories were past down to others and nobody actually knew how long Jesus was in the desert, etc. Is the bible historical fiction? No. There is nothing historical about it.

Trump Ruined My Relationship With My Family

DenoPenno comments on Feb 13, 2021:

Most of my family is dead so this is not true in my case. What Trump really did for me is show me who my real friends are. I can talk to a person for 10 minutes or less and know if he is a Trumper or believes QAnon. One man I have known for 50 years will never be my friend again. Never, ever. He told me that what we ought to do with those crossing our border with Mexico is shoot them down like dogs and let their bodies lay where they fell. He thought "Trump would be OK with it." What a moron! He forgot that I can never be OK with it.

Fani Willis has her sights on Trump right now over him wanting Georgia to "find him the votes" so he could stay in power. Rather than January 6th as a theme for his impeachment, maybe they should have went with this idea instead.

What Is SMART Recovery? | History, vs. 12-Step, Find Meetings

DenoPenno comments on Feb 13, 2021:

Thank you so much for the advice. Let me tell you how this goes with me. I'm an alcoholic. For years I had a stressful job where I drank whiskey and beer at night to relax. My music went right along with that. I was a functioning alcoholic who went right on to work the next day with no problems. That has all changed now. I might manage 2 or 3 whiskey drinks or even that much in beer. That's when my body shuts me down. There is no "buzz" or fun in drinking any more and I have to stop. I don't get sick. I just can't go on. Whatever this is has saved my health but try and imagine an alcoholic who cannot drink. It really pisses me off. I cannot get buzzed but also really do not want to be buzzed any longer. My frige probably has about 30 beers in there. They go back at least 6 months when I thought I was going to drink that night but could not. Every now and then I give some beer away. This pisses me off mentally but never enough to punch anything or treat people badly. It's all just an unexpected change in my life even though it is for the better.

I often get really sad and disgusted when I read some of the political posts from Shawnee locals.

I have no online recommendations but wish you the best anyway. I talk to myself -- sort of. Living alone what I do is a mock impression of voices in other accents just for laughs and to pass the time. An example would be that I could not find something and when I did find it I would declare out loud how ignorant I was in some made up accent. Then I just smile and move on. Sometimes I do this and use famous lines out of movies, etc. An example in Blazing Saddles would be like "badges. We don't need no stinking badges." I'm sure this is not what you are talking about, and when religion is in the picture it makes everything worse. If you find therapy for this, make sure the therapist is NOT religious.

Jezebel soon had the king worshiping another god. She married Ahab and instituted the worship of Baal.
