You know, I've always been quite partial to Fruit Punch flavoured Gatorade. I have no idea why. I don't care much for sodas, especially since they're free at work, and you end up drinking enough of them to get that horrible film on the backs of your teeth.

I got really, really drunk once in college. It only takes once to learn you that you really ought to take most things in moderation. That was the last thing I learned in college before permanently dropping out.

See, if you think for yourself, you don't need someone else to give you a TLA (either 2 OR 3) to tell you that you're clever - you should already know that if it happens to be true.

Took me 25 years to figure it out. Glad it happened, though. They say that everyone has a mid-life crisis. I'm pretty sure that's where I am now, and I'll tell you something: it's incredibly painful. Every time I look in a mirror I see the reflexions of all the horrible things I've ever done, and they remind me why I should hate myself.

(I have an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one. -MrOgre)

Now I'm just plain tired. If one of you would be so kind as to swing by and bump me off, I'd be greatly appreciative. Just make sure it's quick and painless, because if I wanted lengthy and painful, I'd do it myself (and believe me, it's a lot harder than you'd think).

hmm

I lost my post

I was going to say that it sounds as if you are going through a hard time

I know that if I didn't ahve sucha bad memory, I wouldn't be able to face myself in the mirror either

I would recommend leaving what you are doing, going somewhere peaceful and just being (don't think about anything, don't do anything, just relax)

do this on a mountain top or somewhere away from people

religion can also help

St_Swithin's top [10] array:

0) Argue not about the cards you are dealt in Texas Hold'em, or in life.

1) All 5 senses are useless without belief to hold them together.

2) Moore's Law only applies while the limits of materials sciences have not yet been reached.

3) Do unto others - i.e. if you're a Jehovah's Witness, don't knock on the Jewish neighbours' door asking if they've found Jesus at 6am, and then don't get pissed off if they slam the door in your face.

4) Never go straight, only FORWARD.

5) Regret the things you have not yet done, and don't dwell on the things that you have done.

6) Don't stop asking WHY until you get a satisfactory response.

7) It's not in the answers, btw, it's in the QUESTION.

8) It's not what you ask, but how you ask it, and when, and where, and why and how.

9) The truth ALWAYS hurts, but it's the only thing that can set you FREE.

Note: my arrays always start with [0]. I HATE scripting languages that reinforce the probability of an off-by-one error.

Dinner · July 7, 2003, 14:12

I enjoy wine (not whine

) very much and I also drink something like four beers a week. I usually try to go to the specialty stores so I can try a different brand of beer or wine with each bottle.

For normal day to day drinking I am a tea-a-holic (some thing like 4-6 12 oz glasses a day).

Go ahead, make my day!

Nothing at the moment, although I am going to go and get a glass of cherryade at the moment

C0ckney · July 7, 2003, 14:28

a nice cup of tea.

Dis · July 7, 2003, 14:34

water now. I mostly drink water during the day. I'm still trying to shave off another 10 pounds or so. Drinking water makes it realy easy to keep my calorie intake to a minimum (along with eating small serving sizes)

lightblue · July 7, 2003, 16:50

Water and orange juice at home.

When out, depends on the situation. White wine with dinner (red if the food needs it), lager in the pub and random "cheap 'n nasty" cocktails at rowing socials.

Used to drink a lot of vodka and lemonade but kind of grown out of it now, not gone clubbing that much lately.

Ogie Oglethorpe · July 8, 2003, 23:59

I know who you are! You're BATMAN!

st_swithin · July 9, 2003, 00:52

coffee and water. It's hot out.

I figure, if I have to be the middleman between a diuretic and the cause of diuresis, I might as well get it all over with at once.

I moved to Richmond.

Coca-Cola, which I drink in huge quantities. I also drink a lot of water, and a glass of red wine a couple of times a month. I'd drink more, but having alchohol around the house or drinking around my girlfriend is not a good idea, as she sometimes binges out on alchohol, and that sucks hugely.

Evil Knevil · July 9, 2003, 19:22

Flavoured water.

I've banned myself from tea, coffee, coke, Irn Bru, Dr Pepper, Tizer and others thanks to my insomnia. Bah!

Could murder a Moosehead right now though.
