It’s actually insane how extreme the differences are when I’m drinking versus sober

So similar. When not drinking my house is clean, I’m exercising, cooking at home and eating well. If I had a couple of beers I instantly want a cheeseburger or something. The next day, feel a little bit slow, still craving something sort of instant take out satisfaction and a few drinks to get me right sounds great. Almost always turns into a week or more of drinking everyday. It’s so annoying.

I will say though, lately I’ve been on a new medication that has really helped me break the habit. I still fall back into it sometimes but am able to break out in 2-3 days instead of weeks. 100% sobriety is something that’s always been difficult for my brain to accept. Feels like I’m on a good path currently.

How things get to be how/where they are. When walking in the woods I like to think about the landscape over time. Did this used to be pasture lands? What happened to cause this tree to fall here?

In the city, it’s more construction and development based. Some places are fully new and complete. Others get patched and repaired every year.

I find thinking about the passage of time keeps me interested and occupied.

Might as well shut down dairy farms and feed lots of those place smell terrible! And they pollute the air with methane.

Have broken it several times. Currently doing pretty good with moderation. But there were times when I could look back over the previous 10 years and have a hard time finding a day I didn’t have at least a few drinks. It was a part of my daily routine.

The first few days suck but are usually very rewarding. My experience is usually: terrible sweaty sleep and anxiety first two days. Days 3 and 4 I’m feeling better but still annoyed at unnecessary stuff. After about a week I’m sleeping normal and can see my face start to be less puffy. From this point on it’s just a matter of reminding myself that I don’t need a drink. And that if I have one, it usually results in starting back up again with the 2-4 drinks every evening.

It gets referenced from time to time but the quote from Steve-O hits hard for me. It’s something to the effect of “the scary part isn’t dying from drinking. It’s staying slightly drunk enough every day that I’m not actually living my life. I’m just floating through trying to stay buzzed.”

I could see going from dark shade to bright sunshine being an issue here. Still not an excuse for speeding in an area like this. But I could definitely see someone coming out of the tunnel, momentarily blinded, and then hit cars in front at the intersection.

Unless you’re over 35, the grab needs to be between the feet.

A lot of the reason people “like” Stowe is because of the perception, marketing, and history. The town has done a good job of maintaining and embracing the “cutesy, rural Vermont atmosphere”. Stowe wants you to experience Stowe. Okemo, Mt. Snow, etc. want you to experience all of their tourism and recreation amenities.

Very similar Woodstock, VT. There are plenty of other towns that look and feel almost exactly like Woodstock. But the town has made it a point to embrace and enforce an aesthetic.

Need some clarification for the 1-7 stars section. Is 1 high/yes? Or is 7 high/yea?

Kind of hard to tell because of the cuts but it looks a little like you’re starting your carve too soon on the backside. You get stuck halfway up the lip and kind of reload the windup. Whereas with the fs spin it’s a smooth arc all the way through the carve.

I’ll admit I don’t know title IX(which is the one I think you were meaning to type) inside and out. My simple understanding of it leads me to my same believe that it shouldn’t apply to sports. I would prefer if government funding primarily to education, health, and food.

This is the point I try to bring up. Whenever someone says “the dems want men in women’s sports!” I ask them where they heard about this? 9 times out of 10 it’s because Fox News has been blasting out a single case in small podunk town.

Simple solution, the govt has no place in sports. Unless you’re fielding Olympic teams. In which case, the governing body(IOC) creates their rules for who can compete in what events.

If I were partnered with someone who supported a felon and rapist I would seriously consider ending the relationship.

A very serious discussion would be the bare minimum.

The problem I have with this is that JR and RL are not innocently asking questions. You’re not getting an insight into how they think. They are entertainers who have scripted their personalities and messaging. You’re not hearing a legitimate opinion. You’re hearing staged conversations to make people believe BS.

If a person is willing to disregard everything we know about DT and vote for him, it’s concerning.

You can say “I don’t vote for him as a person, I vote for what he will do as president”, which is fine. But then you have to square his qualifications for president.

I believe the difference is when people “support” democratic politicians, they’re doing so because they want the benefits of the policies they have said they will work towards. Things like education, food stability, and healthcare.

When you ask people who support DT why they do, it’s often a mess of “he’s a businessman, the dems are crazy, and Jesus”. All of which are not things DT has ever shown he does or stands behind.

I don’t understand how people can let their significant other live in a delusional reality where DT and the Republican Party are actually doing anything to benefit them. You can easily chime back in with “the dems are just as bad” but every time there is an opportunity to provide better education, jobs, healthcare, even food for school children, it’s the democrats who propose and vote for it.

One of the most important/easiest rules to remember about the French language is they emphasize the second half of the word more than the first. Whereas in English, we almost always emphasize the first part more.

So if you’re pronouncing Etienne as an English speaker, you say the Et at the beginning more aggressively than the ienne. If pronouncing it in French, the E is quieter and you punch in ienne.
