These 7 coins have worn off their luck I think.
 
I earned this pink badge and everything else this time around. I clearly bailed when I should have not let it get to that point. This badge may or may not ever come off of my name. It is a reminder that someone out there does actually care about me.
 
Fasted my way down to 215lbs. Probably more to dehydration than anything else. Here's to making sure I'm drinking enough water.
 
I absolutely can learn a lesson and not blame the forces against me and share it with the world.

That being said, Firebow 101.

 
If you ever get pushed to the brink, just realize two things:

1) You are not alone
2) Almost nobody gets it right when you are pushed to the brink

 
Hey, I just had a thought now. The thought was "what is the proudest moment of my life?"

I know what that moment was and I don't know if I've shared it with you before.

There was a time when I was doing plumbing close to 10 years ago sometime. I went to a nightmare scenario hoarder's house. It was the most awful thing I ever saw. I don't know how we got the call to do plumbing at this house.

There was evidence of rodents, you couldn't travel through the house with any certainty because there were only paths to go through. We went into the basement, which was a real nightmare. Spider webs everywhere. You would need to get through them with a tools because it was so bad.

But the worst thing of all was the roaches. There were so many roaches that they didn't even have shells. They were translucent. It was an unbelievable nightmare of a house.

And in this house was an old lady that was living alone and maybe had a son or something like that. Someone that wasn't able to handle the situation obviously. I don't know if there was a developmental or mental disorder going on their. But people were living in this house.

None of the neighbors either knew or cared enough to intervene in this situation. We weren't going to be able to help whatever plumbing problem they had. I've seen houses with 50 cats that reeked of piss. I've seen all kinds of nightmare scenarios. But this one was different.

We ended up calling a local church to come to the rescue for this poor woman. I never knew what happened to her after that. We threw away the close that we were wearing and basically had to wash ourselves off outside with a hose.

Intervening in that situation and doing what needed to be done is the core of who I am. I can't just stand by and pretend that I didn't see that. That isn't me. That is the proudest moment of my life and one that I don't think I will ever be able to top.
 
Successful date.
