Sounds like me. Two, maybe 3 beers (tonight maybe 3 since you said to have one for you) and normally only in the summer and on a weekend. Mostly if I'm grilling. Gave up mixed drinks and wine years ago (never drank a lot of either) basically because some of them taste so good that I can see getting hooked on them like fruit juice.
Yep, °°Hiccup!°° Escuse me.
We're all sinners. God will forgive him as soon as he forgives himself for his weakness. Folks are no more fit to judge themselves as than they are others. Not only acknowledge the transgression . . . submit . . . receive the needed blessing. Easier said than done.
No, we gave money to someone many posters here personally know, and we thought needed some help and had changed his ways.
That little thing called "conscience" makes sure of that.
It is called compassion and loving a fellow man. Things Ed does not understand. What the person does with the compassion and love he receives is on them. He asked and we provided and I am not sorry for responding to a person in need.
Well said.
Oh the Humanatee!Good Sunday morning D League
Woke up to a beautiful day with a mild temperature of 73º and will top out at 85º or four degrees below our normal 89. There is 50% chance of rain and humidity is way down to 89%. We are keeping our eyes on weather out in the Gulf. Tropical Sally is heading towards us. Shouldn't be anything to worry about, may be a CAT II when she hits but for sure she will bring a lot rain, maybe a few wind gusts. We can always use the rain to keep our marshes alive and well.. Nature depends on the marshes.
Speaking of storms a brewing, someone was arrested off of Philippe Park for attempting to ride a manatee while they were mating. The Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act outlaws riding or touching manatees and it is punishable by fine and imprisonment. Many people do not know that so be careful when you visit. This picture is not from the incident but don't get caught doing this. Tip of the day.
Yep, I partied a lot when I was younger but never drank a lot daily. I take a drink or two nightly now but, don't get drunk. Don't like the next day feeling and it reeks havoc on the joints.
I never was around alcohol as a child because mom or dad were not "drinkers". Not even a glass of wine. But my wife was raised by an alcoholic father who came out of WWII a changed man. He fought in the fiercest battles in the South Pacific and earned two Bronze Stars for valor but the experience changed him for life. He was a good man but alcohol destroyed him.
I went several years without drinking a drop after retirement from the Army. Too busy focused on self-improvement. Nowadays, I drink beer Friday and Saturday nights. Sometimes on Thursday evenings.
It's really sad. As many on here know I lived in Seattle back in the 80's and Portland was part of my territory so I traveled there quite often. It was a wonderful place to live. So beautiful and a paradise for the outdoorsman. My wife has been bugging me for years to plan a vacation to the northwest BUT that's changed. I may never go back there. At least not Seattle or Portland. Maybe we'll go to Leavenworth for their Octoberfest one year.
A multi-taskers dream.
Compassion for one another is something the world could use more of. People like Ed are part of the problem, not the solution.
If he gets on your nerves, try the ignore feature.
Yeah enabling a drunk is compassion. You were a sucker and contributed to his disease. I would love to know how much he took you all for.
