Dead-on correct

I'm An Alcoholic
Yes, they were seizures.....thank goodness never had a stroke.......and thank goodness none were while driving. Don't mind at all being asked.....I believe the first one was at age 48.....the most severe was at 49. I'm 55 now, and never been in better health. I love my neurologist - he shoots straight, but has a healthy sense of humor. I'll never forget him telling me that, while he can never definitely say that my drinking was the absolute "cause" of the seizures, "it certainly didn't help." I see him every 6 months...I always ask if the alcohol or seizures have caused my short term memory loss, and he makes me feel better by saying, "you're just getting old.....start taking notes." I'm so glad this thread exists

I'm An Alcoholic
Goodness Man, I felt the exact same way, until January 2014.......at that time, I was a long-term, flat-out, functional alcoholic. That's when I had seizure #4, and that last one was the eye opener. I won't bore everyone with my whole story, but the last seizure landed me in the hospital, then in-patient treatment for 1 month. Then, I had to attend daily, out-patient therapy for 3 additional months (full day, part cognitive/speech). I wasn't allowed to return to work, until given clearance by the therapist. I had to make a decision to not lose my kids, my job, my home, and my life. Never looked back, and have never had a desire to that return to my old ways. I wish everyone on here, the absolute best \,,/

Your movie/TV pet peeves
Point well taken My only defense is........I see and or hear all of these same pet peeves, on TV shows / movies.......as I do in the real world But again, I get your point

Your movie/TV pet peeves
Talking with mouth full of food.......chewing food with mouth open / smacking.......slurping food/beverage.......scraping utensils on teeth.......eating with fork times pointing down

Life comes at you fast .....
As a dad, I bet you have more influence on your son, than you can imagine. His military decision can't be argued, nor should it.....he's too be commended for that. However, he will rue the day on the marriage decision.....hopefully, 1 or 2 straight-forward father/son discussions will influence him on this topic. (the earlier adoption suggestion was a bad suggestion)

Sunglasses
Vans are just fine. They're inexpensive, work just fine, and have numerous styles to choose from. Oakley's are fine too........Ray Bans are unnecessarily expensive, and are a bit doosh'ish

Yoga Chick Lost in Hawaii -- Story Seems Off
On the day of her of alleged “rescue,” the minute I heard her say this, I was convinced this whole story was bullshit: “There were times of total fear and loss and wanting to give up, and it did come down to life or death and I had to choose. “I chose life.” What a drama-queen, lying skank. I wish she’d have chosen death.

That’s a poor opinion. You want to talk boring? You need to aim your opinion gun at MLB and NBA

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
3 lane road, and car in right lane isn’t turning right on red. Granted, it’s not a turn only lane, but still.... If it’s an old, it doesn’t really bother me as much, but typically, it’s just some poor

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
People who just toss/drop items into their grocery cart. Damnit, items need to be placed neatly / organized into the cart. Haphazard carts are indicative of trashy people.

sock, shoe, sock, shoe Vs sock, sock, shoe, shoe
Both of my kids, plus several co-workers, frequently tell me that I’m loon. This pretty much comfirms it.....and those 2 loons are absolutely correct.

Pussy is defeated! (Man kills mountain lion with his bare hands.)
There are indeed some wimpy pits out there, so I reckon there are some here and there that can be, “beat the shit out of,” by Mr. He-Man. A trained fighting pit would latch your neck and kill you.....then go after your loved ones, just out of spite.

Just double checked -- we fucking won
Sorry, wasn’t trying to piss on the team, or the win. Just a fan, who knows Texas could, maybe should be 10-0........but instead, 7-3. Feels like, over the course of the recent past, the fandom has just become satisfied with a fairly mediocre record......I guess as opposed to a .500 or below. I get it, and again apologize for being a pessimistic-type fan.
