This week we are wrapping up the horrible date series. I read some stories that were submitted, and my friends converse with me about them.

This weeks guest is anonymous, but that does not stop her from sharing her horrible date stories. Ice-cream guy clearly likes to make things difficult, then turn into a modern day karen or kyle. He also seems to like to make his dates uncomfortable on purpose!

This week Jamie tells us about two crazy horrible dates she's had. One guy left out a important detail about himself. It was not a deal breaker, but it is something one should mention in the talking stages. The other story, is just one you have to listen to. If you are interested in her social media pages you can find her at mrs_milly_75 and GertieandGreta

Hello everyone I will be back soon!

Megan has had some interesting dates. From being questioned about what kind of men she likes just because she was dancing, to being told they are in love with her. This is just episode one of two!

From avoiding certain places after a bad date, to a guy talking to pictures on his wall! Amber has had her fair share of bad dates.

White Supremacist, Murder, Electrocution, Loud Moaning, are all things mentioned in episode two of the horrible date series. This week I read submissions from some awesome women who shared their stories with me. Some are more crazy than others, but regardless are entertaining to read about. People in the dating scene are definitely the real MPV's. It is a crazy world out there. Thank you to those who submitted their stories. 

We have all either experienced it ourselves, or heard from someone about a horrible date. What one may consider a bad date could be very pleasant compared to another bad date. This week Kathy shares some of her bad dates, and she really did save the best (worst) for last! We also have a guy come on and share his horrible scary experience of a date gone wrong. Don't let these stories scare you though, sometimes you just have to go through it a bit to get the reward! 

This weeks guest is Joe, who is a 68X ( Behavioral Health Specialist) in the Army. Joe explains the different levels of treatment that the Army has for people who suffer with addiction. He breaks it down by level, and gives a little insight into what one may expect. He helps squash the stigma of seeking help in the military and it being a career ender. We also talked about if there are any spikes in people seeking care after certain tevents or times of the year.

This week our guest Rodney shares a different view of addiction. He shares his experience of growing up with a father who struggled with addiction. He shares how he struggled to accept, that he was capable of so much, and that the stigmas he learned early on in life, do not apply if you believe in yourself. He discusses his journey from a child, to now a successful motivational speaker. You can find his work here at: http://rodneycburris.com/
