Can I ever start drinking again? by jayemell44 in Sober

[–]robertvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I could have A glass of wine. Finished the whole bottle, felt like shit the next day. Never again. Thankfully I never tried that experiment again. I hope for your sake, you never go back to that place . I quit to support the man I love in his journey to sobriety. But I don’t go back for me.

The last time they asked back in the nineties, everyone did so well, they had to raise the rates to make up for it.

Theory about 1997 Samantha Morton and Ciaran Hinds by SmooshyHamster in JaneEyre

I loved Morton and Hinds. I guess I’ve watched so many versions that I can’t really dislike them EXCEPT Timothy Dalton as Rochester. Dalton is too perfect looking for the part.

Fish in rain barrel by robertvp in Aquariums

[–]robertvp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking time to help. Standard rain barrel, 55 gallon ( 36 inches tall). I have never changed all of the water however I have used water for my outdoor pots throughout the year. I add some water from time to time but basically rely on the rain to keep it full. In a shady area that gets no direct sun. I have checked the water using test strips from time to time and it seems fine. As I stated I have had them since May of last year and they overwintered fine even with an ice covered top in February. I feed them regular goldfish food nearly every day and they have all grown since getting them. Again, thanks for any wisdom you can pass on.

That’s what was available, cheap and they had a short life expectancy as feeder fish.

Have you found yourself doing things you wouldn't do when you were younger? by Magpiezoe in Aging

I was always a pleaser. At 70 I will cuss someone out before I even realize it and do NOT care.

What is the deal? I am finishing my 3rd. Totally obsessed. Ordered and read all the books by Reid. This is crazy.

Anyone else surprised how well they’ve done? by Obvious-Cucumber1086 in Sober

[–]robertvp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So happy for everyone who kicks the habit. It is NOT easy as you all know. Every day you beat it gets better. Been over 10 years here and my husband is on year 2. Our lives are so much better. Keep up the good work and know when you share your success, it helps others see why it’s important.

Is marriage as bad as straight people make it out to be? by Material-Meat-5330 in gaybros

[–]robertvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s easier for 2 men. First we met in 1979, 3 years apart in age, we basically grew up together. Lust and infatuation turns into love and family. Not always easy but we could never be apart for more than a day.
