Yikes! (In Jack's likes).
This is NOT what a dahl's meant to look like.

That's.....soup?!
āFood is my love languageā
JFC on a bike, you wouldnāt want hate mail from her then would you

That genuinely looks like why I took the dog to the vets for at 3am last Sunday. Colitis, gastroenteritis and an infection. True story
It's a chunky tomato soup?
I am amazed she can go straight to sleep after clogging up your insides with that maggoty creation. Id be throwing up all night at the thought of the grub like beans.
Whats that weird blackish semi circle thing in the middle? Is it a toenail?
Ohhhhh no, to those who 
reacted my last post re: my dog. Sheās fine! Course of antibiotics, some probiotic paste and muscle relaxants and she was actually running around that afternoon. I swear she just waited until the weekend to feel fancy and go to the posh hospital that our regular refers you to OOH. Ā£196 to walk through the chuffing door 
she kept the bill just low enough to not warrant claiming on her insurance whilst ensuring that I would be eating nothing but toast all of November. Iāll have to try a few of the bootstrap recipes.

Thread title nomination!
I love salads. But dear hearts, it is autumn now. And a chilly one at that. Perhaps a salad with lambs lettuce, pursalane or mizuna (fancy, I know), some shredded red cabbage, roasted pumpkin or beetroot, finely sliced fennel and toasted walnuts or pumpkin seeds. Lighlty dressed with a dressing made with olive oil, orange juice, agave or maple syrup, salt and pepper. That's the type of salad for this season. And no dish should ever contain deep fried tomatoes (unless they are battered green tomatoes, but that's a whole other thing).
Mate she reckons sheās a 2nd generation immigrant
The Greek alphabet has less letters than the Latin one and some of them are identical
2 pages behind so not sure if anyone has said this but part of the traditions is maintaining anonymity at levels of press, radio, and films which is why youāll never have an āAA representativeā comment on say, the booze tax cuts in the budget, or have an AA biopic in film? Similarly why youāll never get well people writing the content Jack does, because when youāre well you respect the traditions and wouldnāt want to put AA in jeopardy like that. So itāll always be a case of the emptiest vessels make the loudest noise, although with that said Iāve read some amazing recovery stories from authors but they always focus on their own chaos & how they recovered with AA just being a minor āand then I attended a meeting a dayā rather than the plot point itself, as it is for JM. Even writing my biopic comments (Iām so sorry) thereās been times Iāve wanted to correct her with examples but refrained as itās in breach of the yellow card rule!
Re what sheās doing, itās always challenging when anyoneās behaviour makes a meeting not a safe space. Personally I wouldnāt feel safe in a meeting with her & would choose not to share lest my words end up in the guardian the week later (or was it 5 days?) and I would flag this concern to the secretary to safeguard people as they say gossip kills. But itās challenging as they canāt ban someone off the back of just this, they would likely gently, softly request that they acknowledge the yellow card rule and not share what they hear here (or what they think of everyone in attendance) but they canāt police someoneās entire life.
Must be so infuriating for someone like Jack.
late to the party here but all i could see looking at the bean concoction was Markās moroccan pasta from peep show

Surely though, if sheās attending these meetings and not making it up (which is 50/50 at the moment) the group leader has a responsibility towards the people in the group for their welfare. Iām thinking about how I would feel if I had shared with the group and JM just decided to either put it in a tweet or a diva.pdf for her own gain and sympathy from people. There must be hundreds of āfamousā people in rehab or group meetings that we donāt know about as they choose not to broadcast it and itās in the rules not to. People will stop attending, imagine going and taking that first step and being overpowered by Jack and her steady stream of narcissism, her experiences are worst - I can imagine the leader needing an eye roll reaction as she continually pushes her narrative whenever theyāre asked for someone to tell their story. I would never share a thing with Jack in the group as quite simply sheād take the story and make it her own on Twitter for attention.
One things for certain though, if that AA group had a group chat I would bloody love to be in it.
Hello, if you are comfortable answewring, what is an 'AA biopic' and what is 'the yellow card rule'? I tried googling the first question but not the second. Thank you for all your sensible challenges of the riduclous stuff Jack writes. X
Sorry Iāve forgotten who said it during my grunk, but therapy is no use to a person who doesnāt engage, and as Jack is probably a narcissist she will have found a way to look like sheās engaging yet all the while is hiding, protecting herself from letting anyone in and spinning tales loving the attention.
This is why it took her longer to complete the course than anyone else. Also at first we had ālook at me! Happy place! Aparthotel! It was a few weeks before she went quiet. She co-opted ODAAT shortly after, kept up the odd SM appearance then worked up a grand unveiling of a new personality āreflective Jackā simple joys, pebble circles at the beach - whilst lining up the Diva.pdf ābig revealā
Itās all so contrived and calculated and I agree the nutrition course is both related to narc and ED love of owning and controlling food, and also career-adjacent without actually having to really address the issues in her career (I.e she would be better off learning to actually cook or write)

Saw this and immediately thought of Jack, given her well-documented love of a) salad, b) filing things in lever arch files, and c) filling her 20 hour work days with pointless, time-consuming tasks nobody who was actually BUSY and in their right mind would entertain the notion of.
Yeah, at one stage she recommended rinsing tinned chickpeas to "get rid of the toxins." Now she just slings the whole can in, toxins and all!
That looks like a tin of tomato soup, with an added tin of tomatoes
The squiggle made onions which are both raw and burned
