    They've obviously stolen my brilliant idea.

    Which I quit, because it's apparently not healthy to drink when on a lot of meds.

    I quit many years ago, however watching news does want one to have a little shot of some-kind.

    Billy, on a cold Winter night, there's much to be said about a shot (or two) of Bailys Irish Cream. Mmmmm…….

    Cold winter night yeah but I can't tell the difference when I drink so I don't but I wish I could, no control! 28 years without a drink, never thought I'd hear that. Tri has got 30 years or something like that and when I say that my mind goes "You'll never make it there!"

    One day at a time! This lady I was renting from drank all day and night I couldn't get away from it but I never took a sip, she died 2 months ago so that's over. Did I ever mention that she was my first wife? I can't remember? I sure loved her once, after she died I don't guess I ever stopped.

    Somedays I come here and become sad. Today is one of those days.

    I quit watching the news roughly the same time I quit drinking. Coincidence?

    I don't know which to blame, but I feel much better.
