    Seriously? They have concerts in prison? What next? Appetizers before dinner, or do they already have that?

    Appetizers come out while they watch MSNBC to catch up on the latest on hug therapy.

    It actually turned out to be more of her sharing her experience of recovery from addiction. But what is curious to me is why You would think it strange that someone's brother or sister, mother, father, aunt, uncle, grand parent or friend would not be worthy of any comfort or encouragement from someone who's been there; done that.
    We all need grace and mercy and the uninformed responses on this post may not even be able to comprehend what I'm saying, sadly enough.
