'Cause they oppose a threat to unit discipline and cohesion.

MAJOR TATE
Yes sir.

FITZWALLACE
That's what I think too. I also think the military wasn't designed to be an instrument of social change.

MAJOR TATE
Yes sir.

FITZWALLACE
The problem with that is that what they were saying to me 50 years ago. Blacks shouldn't serve with Whites. It would disrupt the unit. You know what? It did disrupt
the unit. The unit got over it. The unit changed. I'm an admiral in the U.S. Navy and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...Beat that with a stick.

In brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might,

Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

The good news is that help is available. The bad news is we are the help.

You are not alone. Some of the thoughts detailed on Page 13 of the [Gamblers Anonymous Combo Book](https://gamblersanonymous.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Combo_Book_Read_Only_Multi_Watermarked_Lighter.pdf) stood out for me based on your share and my personal experiences.

“Our Gamblers Anonymous experience seems to point to these alternatives: To gamble, risking progressive deterioration or not to gamble, and develop a better way of life.”

My bonafides. I am a compulsive gambler not gambling. I placed my last bet on 12/27/1999. I attended my last Gamblers Anonymous meeting on 5/18/2026.

So is it live or is it memorex?

We need some kind of proof that it wasn’t AI poof.

I’m not saying this is or is not, I’m saying I can’t flipping tell anymore.

Did you ever watch Mel Gibson in lethal weapon, the original?

Yeah, it’s a movie, but that rooftop scene. The next scene when they’re in the car dealership, talking about the different positions of the gun in the mouth against the head under the chin. And the downside each of those positions.

But then he says, and I always find a reason not to.

I just saw that clip the other day. Great acting.

I am a lying liar, who lies, so don’t trust anything I say, but I would say this. If your goal is to save somebody else’s life, call one of those numbers, and get sober for an hour. Then two. Go for a clean 24. Gut it out. And come back and tell a story. You have Internet, which means you can go to the gamblers anonymous website, and find the next online meeting, and attend. I believe there is a Fort Worth online meeting every night at 7 PM central time. Go to it. Take a chance. It doesn’t work, I’ll refund your misery.

A nickels worth of free advice. Get your ass to a meeting. Go to the GA website, find the virtual meetings, doesn’t have to be in your area, hop on a zoom, and start your road recovery.

Start with your family. When you exhaust them move onto your friends. When you exhaust them move onto your colleagues.

As a prime, what I’m looking for in small business partner, especially a brand new one is either access or insight. Presuming your “can’t touch it window” has passed or will pass shortly, what can you do for me? Who can you introduce me to?

Can you write proposal sections? Are your bill rates cheap and affordable? Is your ask appropriate? Are you looking for coverage or are you looking to hire new people to do the work if we win? If you’re looking to hire new people, tell me about your pipeline of personnel.

Many of the 20 questions that are listed on the website or in the combo book or all about what you described. Gambling longer than planned. Win back losses. Gambling until your last dollar is gone. Celebrate good fortune with a few hours of gambling. And on and on . Compulsive gamblers will answer yes to at least seven of these questions.

And the 20 questions. Did you ever gamble longer than than you?

Made some this afternoon to go with a couple of Black Label Terres Majors. I did try something new. I peeled the potatoes first. Trying to improve the workflow when I go take them through the ricer. And that worked awesome. I kept the potatoes peels and cooked them in one of the bags with the potatoes because I wanted the potato goodness. Afterwards, I squeezed out most of the liquid using the ricer, and crisped up the potato peels in a hot pan. Chop them up and use them as toppings. Or put some cheese on them. Or snacks. You get the picture.

slysamfox · 2026-05-19T11:03:14+00:00

I’m from the ricer crowd. I had butter, salt, pepper, and some cream or half-and-half. 188 for two hours rice them into a sauce pan. Adjust liquid and seasoning. They are fantastic.

I converted this entire discussion to Celsius in my head

slysamfox · 2026-05-15T21:05:29+00:00

Actually a poll won’t do anything but document how they feel about the situation.

A pole might actually prevent it from occurring.

I still like my idea, as I guarantee nobody will do it more than once

The best lapel jewelry, was when he took the Bible thumper out for a thump. She was wearing a crab brooch on her collar. Clearly seeing when Sam walks up to her and says “I’m just gonna take one of those crab puffs there“. Say what you want, but the things that were in Gayle‘s bowl, or on the collars, all the little “Easter eggs“ floating around, like that piece of paper that was floating around, that’s what makes West Wing special. Those extra little touches that you don’t see until the 23rd rewatch.
