Congrats in advance, Freeze.

You're a strong soul... 
... and you can spell!

		Ah!! Tobacco and alcohol. The true bane of modern man. As most of you are aware, I do not smoke and I do not drink. Having said this, I used to do both!! I gave up smoking while still in college. Freshman year, I believe. Just threw them out and did not go back. As for alcohol, I was a VERY heavy drinker for almost thirty years. I dabbled a bit in hard drinks but I drank at least 12 beers EVERYDAY. I am NOT making this up! MANY days , I drank even more than that! Next month will mark my FOUR YEAR anniversary of sobriety. FOUR years. I gave it up the same way..just stopped.  Sort of........

I noticed that ... good one!
Wish we had a pic for them.  Mine was green w/ black braids & button-eyes...

 But, you got me with that 'soz'...
What does that mean?

(Meanwhile, I'll bet they can't figure out what 'togs' are...???  Heh-heh...)

And, it already sounds like you gave up sex though!  (lol... sorry, bad joke.)  But not the ... doobies!!!???  Hell, noo-o..!.  I'm not a big drinker (don't let the Whiskey-Woman thing fool you, it's the song... and those damn lyrics that fit so well...!), so gotta have something to keep reality at bay...

Hey Necro...

is it enlightening because you 'admitted' it...?  "First step", so they say...  
We're proud of you.

Hey MG!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to our fellow Canadian metal-heads...
(What the heck, we should give our buddies to the south the day off, too...)

MG... sorry to hear you're feeling 'out-of-sorts' lately.  Cheer up, we're here for you baby!  Hugs...

Okay but you must read the warning label first...LOL

Well, you know what?

I still can't get over how we met you before the JP concert in Vegas, and then found out our seats were right next to each other.  Providence... sometimes, you're just where you should be.  We loved Vegas!!!  It was surprising to us, as we really didn't think it was 'our cup of tea' -- but... hey, not too often these days that we are up until 7am!   (It's only 7 degrees there, btw... pretty cold for you folks?)

Colley says "hi".  He likes your band, and is pretty impressed with your singing, btw.   Wish we could be in NY for December...

Much appreciated but no need to fret! I have learned to deal with it, as you saw when we met last month. I work out every morning for strength and take my medicine  and fight my way through the bad moments. All in all, I am lucky. There are SO many people that are far worse than I am!!!

Egads!  (Not into JP...!?)  ... Who do you go to concerts with?

I thought part of the vows included, "...and may you forever bang heads together in heavy metal rhythm!"  Huh... 

The vows do not, however, say "... and may you scroll thru threads of half-naked chicks that look better than you, slowly..."  Don't recall that one... nope.

You are welcome. If you shove the cheese stick up the slot drive, it would be the equivalent of shoving said stick up your sinuses. Painful, indeed.  

Now, human. I must go. My circuits are on the verge of overheating from so much use. Goodnight, my good friend. Until next time.

		Done! Thank you for your insight as to the bigger TV and the next time I get some cheese sticks, I'll share. USB, got it. Thanks for the clarification. How awkward would THAT have been shoving the silly thing into the slot drive. Bad for both of us. Uuuf. Disaster averted.      Vaillant 3.0 wrote: My TV brother is shy. He prefers that you just watch him do his work. He told me he really appreciates the way you keep him clean. As for the cooking, I'll keep you in mind next time. Just tell me what you would like me to prepare. When you give me the cheese stick, jam it into the USB slot.      guidogodoy wrote: Ahhhhhh!!!! The screen answers. Man, why won't my psychiatrist believe me? Damnit, I have been talking to the bigger TV all day long. What have I done to make it upset? I mean, I try to keep it free of bird feathers, surround it with things to make it pretty things like guitars and drumsticks but it often chooses not to respond to me directly. Now the TOASTER, I could understand. I openly admit that I just use it for my carnal needs and pay it little attention afterward. At least you, my screen, get along well with your big TV brother. I must have missed you cooking. Why didn't you make something for me? I really don't know how you could be ambulatory but keep me in mind next time you cook, would you? I'll bring you a cheese stick next time. Don't know what slot you want me to jam it into but I'll assume it is the slot in the front unless you tell me otherwise. Of course, I'll share the sauce.      Vaillant 3.0 wrote: Greetings, human. Good to hear you had a good time. My day was more or less productive. Finished half an essay, cooked, and watched TV.

Can't say that I have been all that productive today. Woke up about noon, watched football (Freeze, watched Texas but get on MY clock, man! Nice game, eh?), had a friend over and went to Pizza Hut. Ahhhh....I love football Saturdays.

Oh you guyz...

Mr. DooM & GlooM over there!

Just how hard are you trying???  Maybe show them some pics of the JP Boyz from the Sinful Thread ... works for me!  lol...    (I'm surprised that leather isn't working out for you Necro!)
