  • I think I’m going to take sobriety more honestly now. On Monday I was at work and threw up some stomach acid. I decided to take a half day and told my boss who was ok with it. I went to shut down my computer and next thing I knew I was in an ambulance. Just got out of hospital yesterday, supposedly I had a seizure from withdrawal.

    Im taking next week off from work to take care of myself but that was scary and I don’t want to go through that again. I knew I was getting bad but didn’t expect it to be that bad. I never got wasted, just commonly had a buzz to feel normal. The hospital stay sucked and I was completely out of it for most of it. Now I can’t drive for 3 months(not a dui but state law regarding seizures).

    Possible and around right age but I don’t know… I’ve done stupid stuff also and am a man.

    Like one night I was overworked and tired and just said I’ll buy McDonald’s for dinner. I went in drive thru, placed my order, paid, got my change, and it wasn’t till I got home that I noticed I never actually got the food…

    Years ago when I was a late teen and living at my mother’s, she was at work as a cashier. She called my one morning and this was the conversation : Mom - do me a favor, go into my bedroom my phone should be on the nightstand. Can you grab it and bring it to me?

    Me - you’re at work on break right?

    Mom - yeah

    Me - how are you calling me?

    Mom - silence

    Mom - nevermind, I have it…

    I’ve told this story before but years ago(probably 2 if not 3 decades ago) I liked a song where a guy made sounds like “ohh bada bada bop ba” instead of actually singing. The only real line he sang that I remembered was “I’m the scat man”… So I went on to kazza, yes this was that long ago, and found a video called “scat man” and downloaded it… I hope I don’t have to explain it was NOT a music video!

    Funny story of the at one about 10 years ago I rented a room in a house with these two old(60+) alcoholics. We split the cable/internet bill, normally it was $270 a month ($90 per person). At the time I was about to move across the country and was doing business trips back and and forth. This month I was there for about 1 week. The cable bill came in and it was close to a grand.

    They wanted me to pay $350 and I said no! I called the cable company and asked why it was so high. They said it was from like 14 porn movies being purchased all from one cable box(I never even unboxed mine) over a week end. They gave me the serial of the box and I checked all the boxes. I found out who it was, I payed my $90 dollars and told them to figure out the rest. I moved out the end of the next month, never did learn what happened to the bill(wasn’t in my name thankfully).
