[Gerard K H Love]

Well thank you both for your words of wisdom. There is definitely plenty of my life to waste away after most important things are out of the way.

Purple, this is exactly the way my kids blow me off. That's just the way they are damn it. These kids think they know everything.

And I'll bet you were the same to your parents (I know I was).

A parent's revenge on their children is their grandchildren.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

My point exactly, Thank you.

Genetically we are closer to our Grand children than our kids.

I thought that it was clear that I was saying don't ever become a drunk until you've tried everything. Guess not.

Yes, but no kids for me. What revenge do I get?

You got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues.

To drink is not a bad habit or a good habit just a necessary one.

I like the way drinking makes me feel like I'm such a wonderful guy and everyone likes what I have to say.
The hangover is reality returning with it's cold hard hands around my throat again.

drink it if you got it,
if you don't, you can't have mine.

For those in LA, and everywhere; an Op-Ed Piece from the LA Times. I don't think it was part of Buk's "Open Pussy."

From the article, "One colleague believed that vomiting was, like shaving and showering, a natural part of any morning routine."

Water finds its own level. But level doesn't find its own water.

My glass is low and the porcelain god calls, excuse me.

Cheers,

HM

When I drink the world is still out there, but it just doesn't have me by the throat.

Grinding teeth sounds like Meth
I just heard a commercial on the radio today about how pot is safer than alcohol and less addictive. It was an L.A. radio station

I grind my teeth since I was a kid. I grind my teeth more when I drink a few days in a row.

Someone told me 25 years ago that pot is not addictive at all.
Less THC in the 60ties, 70ties & 80ties.
He is still right.

Nowadays pot is real hard dope. Awful devolepment.

I don't smoke pot, hard to believe huh ;)

I think Factotum, but I might be wrong.

Spot on David, Chapter 31 :cool:

When I got back to Los Angeles I found a cheap hotel just off Hoover Street and stayed in bed and drank. I drank for some time, three or four days. I couldn't get myself to read the want ads. The thought of sitting in front of a man behind a desk and telling him that I wanted a job, that I was qualified for a job, was too much for me. Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.

 

[Lolita Twist]

Factotum! That's right. What a wonderful quote. If only we could all do that. Why can't we?
