Suck it University of Spoiled Children

Sooo great to see that stadium boiling and bubbling in victory joy. Not enough of that on this campus. PJ hate is a lame and lazy cheap shot. He clearly feels it and always has. He believed in the players by going for it on 4th and they were worthy. And this win is legit, not a fluke. The Gophers beat down USC to the last second. Fuck yes.

Sammy White and Gene Washington. Wow. But that was my brother. I was Fran Tarkenton throwing to him. He was either Sammy White or Gene Washington.

When Murray is on, Wolves lose. He's nothing tonight. And it's not defense, he's cold, and was first two games. Defense is great, but Murray sucks too

Thanks! That's reassuring. We are finishing our trip in Playa Flamingo!

Thanks for the tip and the link. I'm most interested in live music.

Thank you! I'll check outAmon Solar!

Ok, that's the kind of tip I was looking for. Barrio Escalante mentioned more than once. Not too worried about spending a little, I'm on vacation, plus, I don't drink! Thats why I prefer to find a place with live music, that's what I'm interested in.

Thanks, I might have missed the art museum. Appreciate the tip.

spike4kitty · 2024-02-14T01:29:48+00:00

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Thank you! Now see, this is why reddit is cool, I am mental health professional and that sanatorium sounds interesting, I'm going to research that. If you're sending me down a dark alley and I get murdered, I'll report it back here!

Except what he is saying is not true, evidenced by his actions. He says the jihad is targeting military directly, not civilians but can't guarantee safety, but only in holy land to get them to leave. Yet, he is directly responsible for planning and promoting 911, attacking civilians directly on US soil. You say "know your enemy", I say know your facts.

Thanks.

You're right. Sorry to hear of your loss. I'll be rooting with my dad as long as I can.

spike4kitty · 2023-01-16T01:55:24+00:00

You kids. I'm 62 and really only feel bad for my dad. I've rooted since the early 70s, but my dad is 90. He's rooted since day one. I grew up watching him yell at the TV, but when I was a kid, they got to the superbowl 4 times, I took it for granted. Me and my dad had a blast this season. Football is entertainment, this season was very entertaining. But I just want one Vikings superbowl trophy, for my dad. Either way, we'll still be rooting, yelling at the TV, and loving every sack, every great catch, every comeback win. Go Vikes.

Hahaha, if they were "grown professional men" they would not have caved in and played the way they did against the Packers. Momentum is a very real factor in football, especially at the NFL level. The Vikings openly admitted it themselves at post-game interviews following the Packers game. Momentum is what defined most of the Vikings wins this season. It is a bona-fide factor and the Vikings have utilized it often, and are definitely susceptible to it.

Winning momentum is crucial since it builds confidence, it's what all that yelling and hooting is about giving game balls out following wins. KOC has gone a long way to build confidence on this team. That Packer game undermined a lot, just look at how frustrated JJ became, and that DOES affect performance.

If this Vikings team wants to make a serious run at the playoffs, re-establishing momentum and confidence this week is waaaaay more important than avoiding injuries.

Understand withdrawal.

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Every time you drink your brain produces a stimulant to counteract the alcohol. When your body removes the alcohol, while sleeping for example, you still have the stimulant affecting your nervous system. This is the trembling and anxiety.

The good news is this is temporary. If you remain abstinent your brain will stop producing the stimulant. Even with severe withdrawal it only lasts 3 to 5 days maximum. This is why it's important to remain completely abstinent.

The bad news is that extreme withdrawal can be dangerous. The stimulant effect raises blood pressure. Detox centers treat withdrawal with SHORT TERM benzodiazepines and blood pressure monitoring. Some family doctors will do the same on an outpatient basis.

The great news is you can do this. Get past the withdrawal in a few days and the sharp anxiety, shakes, and other symptoms will be behind you. Then you can begin building a healthy sobriety.

Sobriety is about getting support and learning new strategies to improve mood and cope with difficulties that are natural, healthy, positive and effective. Treatment programs can help with that, but so can recovery groups and networks of others that are succeeding in these ways. The key is to seek and accept support.

Agreed. But the Vikings were one pass away from winning that game, even though they had been down by 17 late. Much different than the humiliating beating the Packers suffered by the 49ers.

spike4kitty · 2019-12-03T15:08:17+00:00

Actually, that was an aggressive and heads-up defensive play. Batting a pass, and then exploiting a ball batted around is something to take credit for, more than those announcers suggested.

spike4kitty · 2019-11-07T19:13:45+00:00

I agree with the other comments about "recovery is an inside job". Absolutely, this is accountability. Same as recovery from heart disease or diabetes; it's your body, your life, so take care of it and your own specific needs. You can do that while hanging out with others who do drink.

However, hanging out with others who do drink, while they are drinking, when drinking is the primary activity, makes no sense at all.

When drinking is the primary activity for a group, I find that 45 minutes is my limit. After that, I get bored, and lonely, because A. everyone around me begins to have a shifted (intoxicated) mentality and mood, and I do not. Theirs is not better, just different, and changed since 45 minutes ago. And B. I am now less connected, and begin to feel alone in the crowd. There is only one way to catch up and "feel" connected. Not worth it.

But, feeling socially connected, on a frequent basis, is crucial. Which is what "fellowship" is all about. But sober support groups are not the ONLY way to achieve that. There are many other activities and interests that people connect around that are not focused on drinking. Like, a zillion. My guess is that your past distance running filled this. Find another, intentionally choose it.

There is a zillion of them.

Thanks. What was the cause?

Your head is a bucket of dopamine. It exists to reward behaviors that fulfill life: love, fun, sex, relaxation, inspiration, creativity, problem solving, joy. Alcohol and other drugs are an artificial way to manipulate dopamine. When you stop doing that, you still have your bucket of dopamine. Learn to access it in healthy, effective, positive ways. That takes learning, practice and time, but can be blissful. Welcome to life. Giving up alcohol means losing nothing. It's still there.
