Alcoholism is a scourge we also have in the family, you’re not alone by any means.

sorry
I didn't have that problem with a parent, thank God. My oldest son was an alcoholic who refused help or to seek help.

In response to "Identity Theft Leaves You Vulnerable "

Triggered my memory of having a Bank of Montreal account, ages ago.

I use a local bank where they know my face; but, identity theft goes far beyond that. One thing about WDC I like is that much of my writings are here which gives me a fighting chance to retrieve what I've written and a chance to prove that anything I've written is mine.

As for passwords... I can't remember them all. So, yeah, some are far too simple and others are written down. I use my WDC account daily. That helps.

It's okay Ms. Lucifer Morningstar

. I actually like the song... and sometimes its good to get the blues out of you so that the sun can shine again.

Those two songs are my blues tunes.

After I listen to them it is often good to listen to something upbeat like Overcomer.

In response to "Say Something.... I Was Just Joking"

"I was just joking!" would be my pick too. I have some family members who deliver horrible insults then act like anyone who reacts without a hearty laugh has no sense of humor and / or is stupid. It's mean all around.

Big hugs on the song triggers.

Yes, number 8 is senseless. It only shows how flimsy and empty the ideas or the talk of the person who says it. Mostly, I shrug such cliches off.

The video is... triggering.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost... there but not there.

Yeah... #8 is cruel.

Cups (When I'm Gone) - Anna Kendrick

Soundtrack of Your Life

Prompt: What was I listening to last year?

Cups (When I'm Gone) - Anna Kendrick

I love Anna Kendrick. She is quirky and so much fun! She reminds me of my cousin Elizabeth - another small, ball of fire.
I wonder how long it took them to do this video. How many takes? Everyone is so talented with the cups. There is no way I can manage doing that.

Scene from the movie: which I absolutely love... and Perfect Pitch 2 and 3 were also good. The first was my favourite.

A few lyrics:
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle o' whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leavin' tomorrow, what do you say?
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You Don't Own Me - Leslie Gore

Soundtrack of Your Life

Prompt: What was I listening to last year?

You Don't Own Me

Girl power. This is a modern version of Leslie Gore's 1963 version.

The older version:

The song stands the test of time. We are always fighting to remain ourselves, vital and strong, not some ornament of some guy. We are true partners on a life journey, not someone that can be bossed around and be made to feel small and insignificant.

A few lyrics:
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
