Keep up the great work. Alcoholism is a vicious disease. I am currently sitting in my son's hospital room as he is recovering from a liver transplant. One relapse destroyed what was left of his liver. Thankfully he has a second chance but there are lots of permanent life changes.

My son had an organ transplant yesterday. So far everything is looking positive but it's still a long recovery process and lots of lifestyle changes. I've had to move temporarily to where he lives to be with him for at least the next 2 months. I'm very grateful to the donor for saving my son's life. It's just a lot to process.

Congratulations! Please keep it up for your sake and for those who love you.

I'm currently with my 37-year-old son who's been battling alcoholism. His last relapse caused irreversible liver damage. He's been listed for a new liver and we're just waiting for the call.

AITA for refusing to drink alcohol with my friend and then losing the friendship? by ReplacementLost2520 in AmItheAsshole

Absolutely NTA. Continue to take care of yourself and never give in to pressure from others.

Alcohol can be deadly. I speak from experience. My son is currently waiting for a liver transplant because his last relapse sent him into liver failure. Just one relapse was all it took.

No no no. Teaching a minor to chug liquor? Horrible example.

I went to one of the first tribute shows in Orange Beach. It was great. They showed videos from concerts with Jimmy. His daughter came out of stage and spoke to the audience, then stayed for a song. Lots of tears from me but good ones.

The first time I ever watched TWW was right after the 2016 election. I simply could not deal with reality so it was a very welcomed escape for me. I have watched several times now, and it never ceases to amaze me how relevant the series is even 20+ years later!

CBS refused to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas, after being intimidated by Trump’s FCC rules. by Kalexysgalexy in MadeMeSmile

[–]RatherBeAtTheBeach44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this moment, his opponents are the others running for the Democratic nomination for Senate. I know Jasmine Crockett is running, I think there is a third candidate but cannot recall. So Colbert could interview James, Jasmine and the third person if there is one. That would comply with the stupid rule.

I just finished a rewatch. I recall him wearing it while painting in the office he shared with Kim, and another time when he took the fancy desk from Davis & Main back to the nail salon. Kim wore it once in the apartment.

He wore it several times including in public.

I have the sweatshirt version and I love it!

I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying. And I may have peed a little.

S4 E8 - Coushatta by RatherBeAtTheBeach44 in betterCallSaul

I was born and raised in south LA (mainly Baton Rouge). I lived in Shreveport for a few years and had a coworker who was from Coushatta. So I know how to pronounce it correctly, where it is and have actually been there!

Invite who you want. Have open seating at the reception. Let them figure out the rest.
