Detox Duty

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126994) • United States 3 May

The first place I wound up on this adventure was in the company's residential detox facility. They had me somehow scheduled for 2 days later but they were able to get me settled in that morning. They took all of my belongings to...

Are you betting on the Kentucky Derby?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126994) • United States 2 May

Yes it is Derby Day. It isn't a big deal around here unless you are a big gambler or need an excuse to go out for some drinks. It is too cold to have a party outside. I suppose you could have some people over to chill inside. I...

A $100,000 income qualifies as "lower-middle class" in several US states

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126994) • United States 30 Apr
