Wow! That title sounds like something George Carlin would say as I'm listening to his book on tape (Napalm, Silly Putty...) I've NEVER said that phrase to anyone, though I've thought it and I've said "the same" in other words, acting out during destructive times in my life. And, I've also never written that statement, oh yeah, except that one time on that recovery space, at this time..... But, and here's the kicker---I've h... Read More
