I used to do cocaine, a lot, before I got pregnant. I have never denied that to anyone. So you can think what you want, but I have been to treatment and stayed clean, thank God. I haven’t used in a long time. You try to talk bad about my reputation, like I’m a skanky slut and I’m nasty and I’m ugly. You know, I have never denied my shortcomings to anyone, but you don’t know me and you don’t know what I have done in my life. I’m proud of everything that I am, and the kind of mother I am. I am a hard worker, and I’m loyal, and I’m the best friend anyone could have.
Bartending isn’t a respectful job? It’s dangerous, I admit that. But I earned money without taking my clothes off, and without giving head in the bathroom, and for that I deserve to be proud. I raised my son to be a smart, cute, funny little boy, and he’s healthy and happy as can be. I worked hard for my money, and I didn’t take handouts from the government. I have always provided for my child without complaining. My hats off to you, as you’re obviously a much better person than I.
Chris, it might not be a winning profession to you but I did it for extra money. We could make $200-$300 in a 6 hour shift on a normal night. What is wrong with that? You’re just acting like an idiot now. $600 a weekend buys a lot of diapers and formula, on top of my regular paycheck. I wasn’t on welfare or food stamps or WIC or any of that freeloader crap. I would say bartender was a winning profession for me. And for Christ’s sake, I didn’t get pregnant in high school.
One time when I was a bartender, back in 2003 or 2004 I believe, Nebraska played OU in Norman and a bunch of cute guys in Cornhuskers gear came in to the bar...I got all psycho and said I couldn't serve them. So my backup Josh helped them and then they turned out to be really cool and we started talking and it was surprisingly a great night. I was super busy when they came in and I didn't want to mess with them...but it turned out well. That was the end of my days as an OU b|tch. Yes I used to be one. I'm ready for Saturday. :)

Gee thanks, UnSub. Now, tell me how you really feel about me. What did I ever do to you?
Prez, thank you sir. :)

BTW...for whatever it's worth...I'd much rather have Raven on here sharing her sports knowledge with us than reading anymore of Jen Carlson's columns. I'm done with Jen Carlson and her columns as of last week and her buildup of the Game of the Century in Stillwater. I can't take anymore.
Good for Landry Jones! He's having an excellent year for being a redshirt freshman and I look forward to seeing him become the Big 12's best QB next season and maybe a Heisman canidate in his own right before all is said and done.

I also love Guthrie. I changed it back in the day when some Edmondites were being d-bags. Guthrie has some awesome history. We were just talking about it…especially around Halloween. Edmondites are just scared of Guthrie because they know if they come to Guthrie, the evil spirits will follow them home to Edmond and haunt them forever…
Oh God is it 5:00 yet?
KSU is now in the rearview mirror, and we look forward to playing the "other" Big Red - Nebraska. I thought they were going to be a really good team this year, but the wheels seem to have fallen off their bus.
hehehe j/k of course.
I was ready for OSU to rise up and kick some Bevo booty...
I admit though, while I was out with the kids trick-or-treating, I kept getting updates on the score...then after it had been 28-6 for so long I just quit asking. Imagine my surprise when I came home and the boys updated me that the score was 28-23. Pretty sure I nearly had heart failure. I was glued to the television for the last quarter…and for a second, I was even kicking myself for not letting my 1st grader go trick-or-treating without me. (Not really of course.) What is it the “other team” says? A W is a W? Amen.
Guess what? OU fans still suck :)

Neel, your post is horrific. Use some punctuation. Please. And tell me, what does “idiots like the oklahoma love to find feeble minds to feed their spew too....” even mean? I almost didn’t even read your post because it looks like some illogical illiterate blabbering that I can do without, but since John responded to you, I read it anyway. Turns out, it was actually some illogical illiterate blabbering after all.
Nobel.
Must be the same people that hand out the Noble Peace Prize.
