What’s on your mind?

Lovely! Support is important, great that he did go sober. Not easy.

My friend was sober for a short time, maybe a year or so. But got tempted again, unfortunately, he is still paying his price today, he is considered as a handicapped person.

Maybe people aren’t inform enough the damage of alcohol addiction(?!) Another sad thing I see among many elderly, the only thing that makes them a big bright smile on their face is alcohol. I saw in this especially with my in-laws, they drink to forget the problems and they talk too much and too stupidly, and they fight among each other and they get upset and stop talking to each other for days… and the cycle continues.

Hola amigos and amigas.

It’s open season on chicken fajitas and cervezas. I just realized I need to upgrade from no fajita sizzle platter to two (just in case I have company ). I doubt it will up my fajita game. :taco: <— closest I could find.

You are very brave. Once a friend helped us and climbed a ladder encased in ice to cut a big tree branch that had fallen on our roof in february here in the NE usa. Our walkway was also icy but the intrepid dude just marched up our sloped walkway with the chainsaw running. Scary but that branch was gone.

Great minds think alike. Cdc left me far too long at Costco the other day and this jumped into my cart. Read some reviews After purchase like the impulsive shopper I am. Excited to try these for pizza and seared scallops too. Love the wooden holders. I just have to open the dam box. Maybe tonight. Hey it’s hot okay? https://www.costco.com/tramontina-cast-iron-fajita-set%2C-2-pack.product.100765778.html

I just both one for what you paid for two. FML!

PS - I’ll be in Pennsylvania Wednesday. Pls consult cdc and let me know what time dinner is. :smirk:

Love the gift. Wait England doesn’t celebrate the fourth of July?? Kidding. My mom used to bend her elbow heavily at times. When I was living in North Miami she sent me a letter including this quote:Albert Camus Quote “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” I cried. A lot. I knew she meant it when she quit drinking her way. Because of her letter. When I moved back to her area near Doylestown Pa we got to talk. She told me that she just got tired of feeling sick all the time. Vodka was her poison and she told me she put a bottle of vodka available on her kitchen counter at all times. She never opened it but it was there if she wanted to.

Doh. I really don’t need two but the shipping would be killer. What part of Penna? Costco is crazy and their return policy is for realz. Cdc really did leave me alone way too long there. I found a five pack of tenderloins prime for seventy dollars. Three are in the chest freezer. Best cooking purchase I ever made btw. Been trying to learn cdc about beef. This purchase was quite a splurge but you can eat every last bite. Harley is so mad. NO Scraps for her highness.

Now that Conan’s parents are finally both retired they can devote more time to lushing it up. Dad is bombay gin, mom is wine. Mom serves dinner at three pm so she can drink more but generally she starts at noon. She gets up around five am though. They watch tv and drink. Conan says he is nothing like his parents but his absolute favorite hobby is watching tv and drinking when the 'rents are not home. I really really can’t judge but the ID is strong with that family.

I don’t need two either but I typically buy multiples of things. I have a psychological problem thinking I will like something and won’t be able to buy it again. Haha.

A short stop in Philadelphia to visit a friend’s daughter at UPenn. She’s a bit of a surrogate daughter.

For me its hard to pass up BOGO deals. There’s also a store I frequent which has "5 for 5 " deals on pork and beef. A few days ago I bought 24 bottles of ginger ale because they store had a buy two get two offer on 6 packs!

That’s part of Costco shopping “get it or forget it” philosophy.

I do that too. I just might have a wee bit of hoarder in me. Or pack rat. I prefer to think of it as farm mentality. My creed is as soon as I throw something out I will immediately need it. I had to stop myself from buying a second cheap microwave from the good will as these things always seem to break at three am. I am lucky in that I have a bit of extra storage space. Or that space might be enabling me. In august I am planning on buying two pairs of the fake ugg slippers at Costco because they run out of my size fast. We won’t talk about the lidl gnomes

My lidl used to have too good to waste deals. Too Good To Waste meat goes for 1.50 a package. Even got a little ribeye for 1.50 once. I mostly nabbed sausages but sometimes chicken or pork which was very nice. I had to promise myself to cook it or freeze it that day. I am too afraid of the one manager to go back to lidl much so I have no idea if they have those deals anymore. I feel bad because he really is mentally ill. It only takes one.

Nice. Gonna swing by the RTM? If you go it will be very busy and they kick you out promptly at closing. Mmmmm Bassett’s ice cream. https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=bassetts+ice+cream+philadelphia&fr=yfp-t-s&fr2=p%3Afp%2Cm%3Asa%2Cct%3Ahistory%2Ckt%3Anone&ei=UTF-8&fp=1

I had to look it up. Sounds like a fun place to visit. This is just an overnight stop to see her. Apparently she has a boyfriend. :rage: Or as close of boyfriend she’s ever had as far as I know. She’s really picky so I’m sure he’s okay, but I want to meet and interrogate him. I asked her to have him bring his financials and a print out of his academic history along to the restaurant. :face_with_monocle:

A few years ago during undergrad she was staying with me for a few days to rest. She loves fine food so I took her to a nice place but when the bill came I realized I had forgotten my wallet. :flushed: It might even have been her birthday, I don’t recall. How embarrassing. :see_no_evil:

Well without knowing anything about your friend, if he’s lost everything and still acting like a child, then he is obviously the problem. Good luck to them, hopefully they get their head out of their ass before it’s too late.

Be super vigilant after dark please. Would love a write up of your meals. I am a one hour train ride away so curious minds want to know about the vittles. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yfp-t&ei=UTF-8&p=the+spanish+inquisition+spoof#id=1&vid=5fd3487ae726dd6d0c13cb3552b56bc3&action=click
