The Official Status Update Thread - Part 104: Shaun of the Dead

Not pathetic at all. Your body gets used to certain things. When you change it up it takes time to adjust. Just natural adjustments to change.

 

[RedneckReject]

Yeah I guess. The whole reason I started drinking is because I was desperate to get some sleep. That was the only thing I found that helped me. But I can't do that every night. I'll kill myself

 

[Birds Away]

Everything in moderation. Too much of almost anything is bad. Well, maybe not hugs from your kids/grandkids. I'm sure there are a few others.

 

[RedneckReject]

Yeah I just don't want to turn into someone who NEEDS to drink. I can't be that person. So I decided to stop for a little while. I'm sure I'll drink again at some point but for a little while I'm backing off. I might have one or two but not much

 

[Birds Away]

I admire anyone who can exercise self-discipline. It is rare these days.

 

[RedneckReject]

I just don't want to get to that point in which I CAN'T exercise that discipline. I've seen what can happen there

 

[Birds Away]

You know what's most important in life. I do too....

 

[RedneckReject]

Amen to that. I have a sister who is a raging alcoholic. I love her and I understand that she has experienced things in her life that most people can't even imagine, but her kids have grown up with that. And that's sad to me

 

[Birds Away]

The kids always pay the price. Then they pass it along to their kids and the cycle continues.

 

[Birds Away]

BTW, that was Sam. Not quite six months old. He's a keeper.

 

[RedneckReject]

Yep. And I refuse to do that. I don't want my kids to ever see me drink. And they never have. A cocktail after dinner at a restaurant now and then but that's all

 

[RedneckReject]

Oh my gosh I want to be tired!!!!

 

[Birds Away]

Oh my gosh I want to be tired!!!!

I read that as "I want to be tied".
My mind seems to have a mind of it's own.

That would work too!

 

[Birds Away]

 

[RedneckReject]

My mind doesn't have a mind of it's own. My mind is just plain dirty. But that's ok

 

[Birds Away]

How long 'til he gets home?

 

[RedneckReject]

Probably about 3 hours or so. He's gonna be exhausted. He was officially hired at my store tonight. I had some drivers call in so I decided to just put his info in and do it that way

 

[Birds Away]

Well, he can be exhausted, that's okay. You have your driver's license.

 

[RedneckReject]

I certainly have some sway in getting that driver to work when I need him that's for sure
