Ice Cream Cones Cereal

Ice cream cones for breakfast? In 1986, yes. Introduced AND discontinued that year, Ice Cream Cones cereal was briefly reintroduced in 2003 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the ice cream cone, but it was a limited release. Now, if we want ice cream cones for breakfast, we’ll have to stick to the real thing (not recommended). 

OMG! I REMEMBER THIS! I LOVED IT! :O

“Alcohol does not a change a person’s fundamental value system. People’s personalities when intoxicated, even though somewhat altered, still bear some relationship to who they are when sober. When you are drunk you may behave in ways that are silly or embarrassing; you might be overly familiar or tactlessly honest, or perhaps careless or forgetful. But do you knock over little old ladies for a laugh? Probably not. Do you sexually assault the clerk at the convenience store? Unlikely. People’s conduct while intoxicated continues to be governed by their core foundation of beliefs and attitudes, even though there is some loosening of the structure. Alcohol encourages people to let loose what they have simmering below the surface.”

As you are someone who promotes charitable giving, where do you think one can have the most positive impact by donating money?

Oh man such a simple question, such a complicated answer. 

This got really long and Anon, I need you to know upfront that this is not me yelling at you – you just asked a question that triggered a response that has been a long time in coming, and I’m addressing a wider audience. So thank you for asking! Sorry for the impending wall of text.  

So there are three parts to my response to this question! 

1. It depends on what you mean by “positive impact”.

2. Only you can determine, based on 1, where you should give and how.

3. You will never actually have a perfect answer to 2.

Some good thoughts about what makes a charity and how the Work is done.

self care can feel dangerous if you were neglected as a kid

because your understanding of the way the world works is built on the belief that you are utterly worthless as a living thing. And so you’ve spent your life, desperate to earn the right to still be alive. You’re left with this fundamental belief that if you haven’t worked yourself to the bone for something, you don’t deserve it. So when you’re down, when you’re at your worst and feel sick down to your soul, when you absolutely need self care the most… you have a lifelong narrative saying- no, you earned nothing today, you did nothing to deserve this food, this sleep, this consideration, this rest. It’s backwards and you know it’s not true, but it’s so ingrained that literally just taking care of your base needs feels like cheating.

the sad part is usually when you try so hard to get over this- and when you start to make progress, you are called selfish for self care.

This is true, and a thing. People in your life will be used to you expecting nothing and constantly foregoing your own needs at the drop of a hat, so when you start taking steps toward actually… putting yourself somewhere near the top of the list, there will be an adjustment period. The decent people will be happy for you, and be understanding during the admittedly rocky process of learning how to trust in and fight for your self worth. The shitmongers will throw tantrums, and try to guilt you back into submission, and so should be kicked to the curb for collection at your earliest convenience.
