I frankly could not care about xmas anymore. The excitement went years ago, now its just an excuse to get drunk. But you can't even get drunk with your mates, just family. I'm more looking forward to getting smashed on New Years' Eve..
thats what christmas is all about,(family} i am near 70 years,i can not wait for christmas every year.. to bring joy to my family and grand-children... ater that statement Lethal_B i feel sorry for you.. theres no joy in a bottle of booze...and i know...
For Christmas, I want to stop globe hopping. I want to settle down with my family and stay in the one place. I'm hoping to move to Wisconsin soon, but nothing can be guaranteed, so... I guess I want Wisconsin for Christmas.
And me! Family just makes Christmas what it is. My list: Dell Ultrasharp 2007wfp, Aspire X-QPack Case, WD 250GB HD, And Chocolate (plenty of)! Cant wait until the New Year either!
haha.. wow. thats crazy. didnt realize people got so crazy about christmas. Hell, halloweeen hasnt even passed yet. And ireland, sure theres joy ina bottle of booze, until its all gone... then the joy ends, and your on the floor
as a booze stud,from the age of 15, we did not drink to get away from it all as most of ye are doing today.. i drank to be cool with my friends..as they all drank.. i started when beer cost $3.00 a case..(7oz bottles} iron city beer... i do not drink now as its more fun to enjoy life being sober, i think i had about 10 drinks in 15 years.. as i lost my taste for booze..for years all i drank was brandy.. over ice..
I, too, have lost my taste for booze but I'm not too sure I ever had one. I had a spinal cord injury when I was 28 which left me in a great deal of pain for many years. I coped as best I could but I could only sleep in 15-20 min naps which was slowly turning me into a nut case. Sleeping pills didn't work. For maybe nine or ten years, I had my evening ritual which started at 6:30. I had a large beer mug which I would fill with ice then fill to the brim with vodka and a mere splash of orange juice. I would block my nose as I hated the taste, and down half of it in one shot. I would then fill the half with orange juice and drink it more slowly. About 7:30, I repeated the process. Come about 9 - 9:30, I would make it to the bed and pass out. I drank about a pint and a half of vodka in two and a half - three hours. Miraculously, I stayed asleep until four or so in the morning. As the pain became more chronic than acute after nine or ten years, the need to do this diminished but I kept it up for six or eight months because I was afraid of what would happen if I stopped. Fortunately for me, nothing did. I'll still have a drink on rare occasion but getting drunk certainly has lost its appeal for moi and I can't remember the last time that I did. I thank god, fate or whatever that I didn't need to be tied to the bed for a few days going through DTs. I just stopped and nothing happened.
halloween is next week, thanksgiving is on my birthday, and christmas will be here before you all know it
yep, i guess. and hasent thanksgiving passed? ooh >.> right, i live in canada , so im cooler than all you yankees and brits HAHA. joking, but you know. it has passed...
A canadian's told me that b4, but its usually in the "Englands a sh*t-hole" context, a cousin's canadian, he doesnt like England one bit, aparently its "dirty"..~LoL~
I've never been to England but I had a friend who was a London police officer here on some sort of exchange thing....he stated often that England and the US are very much alike in a great many ways and he also often added that Philadelphia seemed like it was taken straight from the pages of Charles Dickens (it wasn't a compliment). I was born in the US but raised in Canada (Quebec). While any government will, by its very nature, have shortcomings, the canadian government and people really have their act together. The well being of the population if of far greater concern than it is here in the US. LOL! We haven't much need of a fence on the canadian border to keep out them pesky illegal canadians though some canadians might think it worth the expense LOL! In the jokes forum, I read something like the following: "Canadians and Americans are similar in the sense that they'll both cross their southernmost borders to buy goods for less in a more backwards nation". LOL!
@dgstrain...I know what you are saying but I guess all things are relative. When my relatives come to Philly, from canada, they say the same thing...how can you live in this sh**hole of a city! There is a guy in our office who doesn't like canadians (or anyone else for that matter). He says all canadians are envious of us. And my reply is always "envious of what? Take a look out the window ... no where in canada will you see a neighborhood that bad! Just what are they jealous of?"
