  • Lost my pants!

    Me: Hi, my name is Beth and I lost my pants. Group: Hi Beth! Me: I last saw my pants on Tuesday when I wore them to a doctor’s appointment.  I came home, changed into comfy clothes and they have been missing ever since. And that’s how people will introduce themselves in my new group:…
