Going to this place that makes their own bagels to get a bagel sandwich and fresh brewed coffee!!!!!! FUCK Yes, love that shit

I call that my kitchen; my wife is an excellent cook. Except it's bread instead of bagels, fortunately for my carb intake. There's the equivalent of four slices of bread in a bagel. I eat them only rarely. But it sounds delicious so whatever floats yer boat, for sure, b'ye.

I mean, it’s a treat. I go quite simple on a normal weekday. Not normally a big breakfast guy. But something about a good bagel every once in awhile just hits the spot
 
I'm putting the money aside for my plane ticket and hotel for DC for the August 28th March so it's a positive motivation.

I don't know really. I fucking love drinking, but I read somewhere "I liked myself when I was drunk, but no one else did" and that hit me hard. I'd like to eventually have a healthy relationship with alcohol, but I'm going into this with the mindset of imagining a life without liquor.
August 28th March? Oh. LOL

Never mind the march, dude--come here to PEI and help me pick shrooms.
 
Aye. Well, I just explained the jist of it. Had my fair share of arguments from the other side pre-SJW/PC cancel shit. Used to have loooong drawn out arguments with Ripskater and TCK over gay rights and evolution. I can't stand Trump. But I've grown to accept that every one bitching (no matter what "rights" it is) is typically spoiled and aren't thinking rationally but rather emotionally. Not thinking of yesterday or tomorrow, but today.

I'm closer to your perspective on the issue you're arguing about (the expiability of Jefferson's trangressions against decency), and I agree that some of your opposition is (also) quite obnoxious. I think the issue is that most people with any political preference aren't good arguers so it's pretty dumb to make voting decisions on the basis of people pissing you off. "Trotsky is a jerk so I'm going to vote with Starman" doesn't really make sense, y'know?
 
I’m sure I’m forgetting someone, but is Gorge Bush Sr the only president to not serve two terms? (Not counting if they died)

Way more than one, IIRC. Jimmy Carter springs to mind. Ford, if you count only full terms. I feel sure there were others in the past. This topic has come up here before.

I knew I was just drawing a blank.
 
God there’s quite a few I really drew a blank


I’ll save myself by saying since I’ve been alive, George Bush sr is the only one not to do 2 terms.

There have been 11 one-term presidents whose service wasn't interrupted by death. Also, Cleveland lost after his first term but then won another term later. Lots of people who took the presidency when the president died didn't win re-election, and many (like the POS Andrew Johnson) didn't even get their parties' nomination.
 
Like I said I drew a big blank the more I thought about it!
 
Haha yeah, that's going to be really difficult. Especially living in a city where you can drink 24/7 and in the streets. I figure once I get to the root of my problems with drinking and can control it I'll be fine, but I'm super wary of it. I'm over blacking out five times a week and romanticizing my own self destruction.

She breaks it down perfectly why I quit. Also fucking Joe everytime he has a sober guest on . I'm ordering the book she's talking about., I'll let you know how it is.

Edit: Saw your post about age. Yeah I'm 31. I started drinking heavily around 16 and never stopped. Once I get through this month it will be the longest I've gone in a decade without drinking. Hell, two weeks will probably be the longest.

When I was 15-16 my friends and I started drinking pretty heavily. I have several alcoholics in my family so when I was 17 I started to get worried and took a month off to see if I could do it. It wasn’t a problem so I was at ease with it. It was probably the longest period I had without a drink until I was 33? 34? I rarely drink these days and even more rarely do I binge drink (maybe, MAYBE 1x / year). The hangovers definitely contributed to it. In my prime I would drink until 4am and be at the gym, the hoop courts, or work by 8-10 the next am. Even my friends would marvel at that. Now a binge has me getting iv electrolytes after 16nhours of sleep. Hopefully for you it’s just your party mentality that seems to ebb with age/ maturity. If you find yourself struggling with it I would try for some professional help now rather than later seeing as you in some control right now and covid is keeping things less tempting.
