    Well, this is true, unless you a) ran out of $ and b) are sober enough to
    drive (or in my case can drive at all)

    I hope you are OK til you can get restocked.. :)

    Hehe, i'm fine :)

    I'm poking around with avatars, just tweaking it here and there. Also
    have to write docs for the new scripting functions, but that can wait.

    Really been enjoying BBSing and coding the last few weeks. It's funny how
    it comes in waves, sometimes you wonder why are you doing this, sometimes
    you have no motivation at all, and sometimes you forget to have lunch
    you're so focused.

    How are you going?

    I was reading about your adventures with avatars, that is cool.

    Yes, sometimes it is easy and sometimes it's a struggle. It's hard to be motivated when you are struggling but it sure feels good to find your way out.

    How are you going?

    I'm low on $ and beer.. so taking it easy.. hehe

    According to my friends, I have an unlimited supply of free horse beer. This is the reason why nobody wants me to invite them to a beer at my house.

    That wouldn't be a problem with me, since I don't like beer.. The only problem for me would be it would feel like a waste of money as I wouldn't drink it.

    Thanks! Yeah I feel like I'm really making progress. At this point, apart

    features :)

    Yep, I guess it happens to most of us, it's probably a good thing,

    No. Cheesecake doesn't count. Though it does sound very nice.

    I've actually been enjoying some peanut butter whiskey lately. It's really good when mixed with either a ginger ale or a cream soda.

    Actually I don't buy beer. I let my father buy it and then I assault the fridge if need be. I might have two beers per month tops so it is not a bad deal.

    The horse beer joke started circulating at some point and right now it is one of those recurrent jokes that won't go away.

    I know of someone who drinks too much (he could drink a 6 pack of beer in one night). I recently heard he has alcoholic alzheimer's. :( It's sad stuff. I don't really like beer, but I've always been a little nervous of drinking alcoholic beverages due to things like that. I suppose it's one reason I just don't drink much at all.

    There's all sorts of things that can give you all sorts of things, and different people react in different ways. Some say eating meat can give
    you cancer, actually some say lots of things can give you cancer. Lots of things give to heart disease etc.

    If one wants to squeeze a few more years out of live vs a life without
    things that one enjoys, then so be it. If you don't enjoy it, then that's
    an easy call, if you do, not so easy.

    Drinking a 6 pack of beer in one night isn't that bad, unless you do it
    every night. Everything in moderation I guess.

    Ron White talks about landing in a private plane, being stopped by the cops and arrested for having 5/8th of an ounce of marijuana.

    In his words, "Just to be clear, when I have 5/8th of an ounce of marijuana, I'm OUT of marijuana..."

    trip to buy more beer. But "not enough" beer means you have to make a extra trip to restock.
    Though you'd need to be sober enough to go pick up more beer. ;)

    Haha, well that's absolutely true! I guess in my mind, I would really only
    buy beer when I buy groceries (which I do sober). So enough beer means, I
    was able to make it to that roughly routine outing.

    Really I don't drink very much so I'm certainly not an expert - but it seemed good at the time. :)

    Someone once said, the thing about those that don't drink,
    When they wake up in the morning... that's the best they'll feel all day.

    I've never heard this before, that's great! Haha.

    The downside to buying beer, it inevitably runs out.

    Apparently you're not buying enough or you're just drinking too much :)
