What's on your mind?

[Swan7]

oh that's terrible. now that i've been on this site for a little while, you all mean a lot to me. don't want anything to happen to you.

It's ok.
This year I deliberately trimmed my schedule by 30 minutes and so far seems to be helping going home with less traffic.
Besides, if anything did happen to me, I'd feel sorry for that one person who "didn't have time to wait". I know where I'm going.

And going to have to quote Dumbledore on this one: "pity the living"

 

[Deidre32]

Heh. ... Miss Deidre, always full of earnest sweetness.

lol

 

[A.B.C.A.D.]

I was invited to go out but I no longer drink alcohol.

Going out will eventually involve some type of alcohol.

Hmm, decisions, decisions.

 

[leothelioness]

Oh, man, this game has been so good, but so dirty at times.

I feel the same way, I haven't given up alcohol, but hardly ever drink anymore.

Well, someone's gotta ask "What game?"

I hardly drink at all.. which reminds me... please pray that the friend I go see tomorrow doesn't offer too much of it!

Haha the struggle.
Today being social is almost synonymous with being a drinker.

There's just something wrong with turning down free drinks

Oh well, you see, she's the driver since I don't have a vehicle. So, I know she'll just drink it if I don't. However, a thought occurred to me just now that i should buy her some tea, that we can have together in place of that. I hope that works out!

 

[mojoboy31]

lol! It's bordering hilarity, but overall...it's just sad, honestly.

Ah, I see. This board has-- in the past-- had a tendency to get a bit creepy at times, so I was curious. Lol

*darn* I went into that thread again.
I'm in a silly mood, can you tell?

I was invited to a holiday party with friends tonight, but Idk, I haven't felt like going out much the past two weekends. The traffic during the holidays is kinda scary. I'm thinking of watching ELF tonight.

I watched ELF with the nephews last night. It's my favorite holiday movie aside feom White Christmas.

I have a few spy tips in how to "simulate" drinking without getting hammered if you're interested. Lol

Yeah it's unfortunate. I think that's why the sin of drunkenness is overlooked and ignored because it's just so commonplace even amongst professing Christians.

I know.
I have turned down some things recently with friends, and said they can come over and we can watch movies and have a non alcohol night. Some may come over later, we shall see.

Watched it for the first time the other week. So good!

@mojoboy31 please share your secrets!

I like that, taking control is smart.

It's funny how there doesnt seem to be much "fun things" to do without alcohol.
Do you also get looked at funny when you order water at a bar?

True.
Being in the world but not of the world is no easy ask.

The thing is, if everyone is drinking, then it can be not so fun, but if everyone is not drinking, then it's fun. lol In light of the DUI laws, you'd think people would be cutting back.

What game?

The only game on TV that matters: The Iron Bowl.

Everyone thinks about cutting back when sober.
After one more "last round", it turns to the default "Angels go before me and make sure there are no cops on my path".

Those who have eyes don't see.

LOL yes, true.

I'm cautious by nature, and I'm into cross fit/running, so I've noticed that if I drink too much, my workouts are bad.
I will have some spiked egg nog as the holidays near though.
