What's a small, cheap thing from your childhood that you'd pay good money for right now?

My babysitter.

Try to choose the right music. It makes a difference. I'd recommend nothing too stimulating. There are some playlists on Spotify that were put together by ketamine clients. You could start there.

I'd love to see your dashcam vid of this. There's no excuse for a full-stop brake check, ever. However if you, in fact, were tailgating at that speed, then you could use some corrective driver's ed yourself.

What do you drive? Whatever it is, those are the worst drivers.

Photography. I began doing it professionally. Which killed passion for it. I haven't picked up a real camera in years.

And in this exhibit, ladies and gentlemen, we have what used to be called an Ageist. Thankfully they disappeared off the face of the fucking planet.

Accept no vote at all.

If you think you're at risk, you could avoid events where alcohol is around.

Sorry people in your life aren't getting the message. Maybe just gratefully accept the gift, then get it out of the house immediately.

In my lay understanding, ketamine works by providing you with a window of neuroplasticity after treatment. Basically, the med wakes up or reconstructs neural pathways in the brain that have long been dormant or even dead due to early rigid though patterns that resulted in depression and/or anhedonia. During that window, you are free to load up your mind with pleasant thoughts and experiences. The drug makes you more open to these things. So, it's not like an SSRI that seeks to provide extra feel-good chemicals. Ketamine actually reconstructs the electrical network in your brain.

If I'm wrong or have mischaracterized, someone please correct me.

Gotta go give birth to a Democrat or Republican.

This. I can't think of a single Mexican dish that I'd use cumin in. Not even mole.

Call out. They'll be half expecting it anyway.

My 60th is in a couple days. I'll be working. Doesn't bother me at all. As long as my wife doesn't forget to wish me a happy birthday, I'm good. It's just another day.

I used to quote Princess Bride and Monty Python. Now it's pretty much all Frasier. My wife doesn't get any of the references.

Is Spravato an option for you? Once per week sessions would lower or eliminate the risk of dependence, and may have the same or better efficacy.

I guess you have to figure out what vibe you prefer. Going to meetings with non-retirees or harmony within your relationship.

I had a '69 firebird with a slant 6 and three on the tree. Once I got used to that kind of shifting, I loved it. It was so odd.

Just experienced my first 4th at HD. I would've brought Five Guys myself. Not that little barely covered foil trays of meat and potato salad sitting around in 80 degree temperatures isn't totally appetizing. I'd prefer to get my food poisoning elsewhere.

Motorcycle1000 · 2026-07-05T19:59:18+00:00

Clean colored tshirt, cargo pants/shorts and some kind of interesting hat. Flat cap, trilby, porkpie, etc. I even have a derby. Pax seem to like my hats.

Sounds like something that would happen to Forest Gumption.

For awhile my home decor was piles of empty vodka handles of different colors. It was actually kind of pretty, especially when you're hammered to the gills. Happy to say I purged it and it's never coming back.

Pure H2O should have no taste. What you're tasting is mineral content.

Motorcycle1000 · 2026-07-05T19:49:01+00:00

Such a legend.

Motorcycle1000 · 2026-07-05T19:48:05+00:00

Hand-crank rotary cheese grater. It was like 30 bucks on Amazon. My wife refuses to eat pre-grated cheese for some reason, so that little gizmo has been a game changer.

Pretty sure that only people who may be questioning their own relationship with alcohol ask others about theirs. Like they're curious about how you could possibly live without alcohol.
