@jextxadore Sounds like packet delivery was subcontracted to FedEx.
@matigo It is. I used to hate liver and spinach. I will gorge on either one now.
@matigo I used to feel the same way about cranberry juice. If you put it in front of me now, i'll drink the entire jug in one sitting.
In a discussion with some folks who think the death penalty is wrong, even in Dylan Roof's case.
I disagree.
Sometimes, one can move beyond the limits of redemption.
It's a cacophony in here. Wind howling outside. Rain pelting a metal roof. Aged cat purring loudly under my desk.
My book cravings are moving from Russian literature to early romantic era poetry.
It might be my brain rebelling against being fed upcoming payroll tax changes from our CPA. Accountants write and cite some very dry prose.
@kdfrawg I'm reminded of a story Stevie Ray Vaughn told about his collapse. Throwing up blood while on the road and saying, "Oh man, I'm scared. I need a drink". Being told, "The last thing you need is a drink". Saying, "I know. But I need a drink". He went into rehab shortly afterwards.
@kdfrawg I veered that way with drinking and some drug use. It took a hard look at my family to change course.
The art is knowing the difference between "liking a drink" and "needing a drink". If I am in "a mood" and feel the latter, I do not drink. Period.
The line between "desire" and "compulsion" is fine and deadly.
@kdfrawg My grandfather, great grandfather, great grandmother and nearly all of my uncles have/had drinking problems.
@kdfrawg My people are an even mix of Irish and Creek Indian. Drinking alcohol with those genes is like juggling flaming chainsaws.
