Venting Stories

  • Ok guys, journaling is a form of venting so here goes...
    I do not know when we as a society forgot what constitutes a crisis and what does not.  Here goes the rules.  Phone calls after 11pm should only be made between lovers and if someone has died.  A 2am phone call to check on a recipe is NOT a crisis!!!  If you are contemplating taking your life, this is a crisis, call ...
