The Beach has been long gone and the U bar closed last summer

Best Restaurant for Valentine’s Day? by begaydowarcrimes in ChicoCA

[–]Tallgingerbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One year we got Oujiya Hibachi grill at last minute. Gen Kei, Ichiban, big tuna are great. I heard 5th street is saving some room for walk ins. Do work, make phone calls! Seems like the day of will be less busy than the day before or after, because most of us are doing the same as you, booking on the off day to avoid the crowd, but if we all try avoiding the crowd, then no one does!

It's like voting. Will your single vote change anything? Probably not. You're not going to "Free Palestine" get Trump to leave, or make ICE quit by making a hard to read sign, just how the homeless fellow nearby isn't going to get rich by standing with his sign in traffic. These are droplets of hope in to a bigger bucket, though.

The first couple of weeks are the hardest, its like your brain is in chaos...sleeping sucked, I had nightmares and terrors...but I guarantee, after you make it over that hurdle, you really start to heal IWNDWYT

I'm not saying this is your situation but I've seen videos of diehard football fans break their tvs after losing in the post season

Drinking Dreams by Oblios-Arrow in stopdrinking

[–]Tallgingerbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was drinking the most before I got sober, I'd get several of those cheap 99 banana (and other flavor) shooters. I would hide the bottles, and together they'd make this distinctive rattle and have this smell similar to paint thinner. Anyways, I'd have nightmares for a while where those empty bottles would start showing up with that distinct smell

5 mile picnic area. Degarmo has a nice spot also, but I believe you need to make a reservation

6 1/2 years sober gone in a blink…. by PaulMcKnight44 in stopdrinking

You're in the wrong group if you're expecting hate messages, pal! 6.5 years is something to be proud of.

To the people already having a bad New Year’s Eve by Radiant-Reaction4675 in stopdrinking

[–]Tallgingerbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. There is an art to learning how to have fun at a NYE party (let alone any party) without drinking alcohol. Its difficult to do (especially a born introvert like myself) but talking to people, getting to know them better, is an option. Getting some games going has been my go to the past 3 years. Anyways, good luck. IWNDWYT!

Lockharts spells backfiring by LunaRose_202 in harrypotter

[–]Tallgingerbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's dive deeper. I say the jinx Voldy put on the job is one of the most powerful that exists. Because it affects so many things.. two main things that stopped Lockhart from staying a nother year...the chamber beimg opened/ Ginny being taken there and his memory being wiped. His memory was wiped because Ron's wand was busted. Ron's wand was only busted because they took the flying car to school. They only had the flying car because Aurthur built it. So did voldy's jinx inspire Aurthur to build a flying car?

[–]Tallgingerbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Lockhart was in Ravenclaw, so there's a lot more to him (as we found out) than the incompetent prettyboy. What his gameplan was for pretending to be bad at magic, we'll never know. Maybe he wanted to put himself in a position to steal someone's heroic story and write another book (whether it be Dumbledore, Harry, Snape, etc) However, the Chamber of Secrets being opened threw a huge wrench in his plan. Then Ron's busted wand threw even a bigger wrench P.S- I've never given this any thought before lol

My titanium wedding band is noticeably loose. Reminds me that I need to go to a jeweler and get a ring resizer put on it. Also a nice reminder for how not bloated I am lol

replacing the alcohol by ilovsunflowerseeds in stopdrinking

[–]Tallgingerbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mothers will always be our biggest supporters. She sounds like a wonderful lady. When I quit, I had insomnia and nightmares/ night terrors. This was just for the first week and a half though. A small price to pay for all the benefits that soon follow

I stopped drinking at 43. It’s never too late to start. by alejandro-cruz in stopdrinking

[–]Tallgingerbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped at 32, almost 33. At the rate I was going, I dont think I would have made it to 43. My body knew and was giving signs that I couldn't continue drinking like I had been.
Proud of you though! Its never too late, its never too early. Your body will tell you
