People! Your quick advice, please.

[crim son]

I'm being a good girl and staying home tonight. I've had one drink. SHOULD I HAVE ANOTHER? (hint: I really believe I should).

Okay, I am persuaded. Thanks for your valuable input. And Cheers!!
:toast:

[miss_american_pie]

1. Of course

What trouble could you possibly get into at home?

[crim son]

3. I could start crying and snotting all over everything.

Plus, I had a couple last night. You really think it's okay? :P

[miss_american_pie]

13. Yes, I think it's okay

If you cry, so be it. :hug:

[crim son]

15. Yes, let those emotions freeeee!

I am going right now to mix it. I have a fair amount of positive feeback here! :hug: back.

[datasuspect]

2. yes, a few more

don't do anything half-assed

[crim son]

4. I really can't take advice from a man with a curly mullet.

No offense, dude. :rofl:

[datasuspect]

12. it has gotten longer now

6 months fly by that fast.

[crim son]

18. Heavens, no! 'Tis like an evil weed.

Only you can stop it!

It's not really you, right? Or is it (I make no judgement... you shoulda seen me in the eighties)

[datasuspect]

37. no, a pic i copped from craigslist

i got tons of them.

[crim son]

40. Is this a hobby of yours?

And have you ever posted a real pic? Just curious.

[datasuspect]

45. never posted a real pic

but have posted these:

[crim son]

48. In this case, I actually did LOL. Why those particular

monkey-like beings? Some peculiar affinity? And why not yourself?

[datasuspect]

52. because i am horribly disfigured

not really, i just don't photograph well.

simian-like beings?

never thought of it like that. sometimes i just run across pics that seem hilarious to me. so i save them.

[crim son]

54. Well, the first fellow looks kinda sweet.

I'm amazingly unphotogenic yet I've posted a picture. Everybody is always so kind that it's an ego-boost even if you understand it's just politeness.

I wasn't truly implying anything with the comments about da monkeys.

[datasuspect]

57. well damn

i was looking for this collage photo a psycho ex gf made of me sleeping on a bar, but i can't find it.

i was gonna post an actual picture of myself. you gave me the courage and now i can't do it.

i guess i feel crestfallen.

[crim son]

60. This is not your last chance!

There are pic threads almost every second night and people usually post the same ones again and again. I'll look for yours. Even if you are terribly disfigured! -L

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. Are you attempting to abstain?

If so, you should abstain.

If not, why not have another?

[crim son]

8. No reason, Goddess.

I'm attempting to abstain from bars. Not vodka. Damn, I think you just convinced me!

I appreciate it, Goddess!

[WCGreen]

6. Yes, have another one....

But stay off the phone after twelve or so....

Many things are said on the phone that can not be said in person...

There was this Yugoslavian girl from college...

She was from Youngstown...

I called her after 10 or so shots of Jack...

Not a good idea...

[crim son]

Fortunately for me, this outgoing girl has a phone phobia.

And I've already done that once. Got the wife. It wasn't pretty. Sigh.

[WCGreen]

21. Probably a good idea then....

[crim son]

28. Wanna give me YOUR number?

Kidding, my friend. Fear not. :D

[WCGreen]

30. Not tonight....

I have a headache....

[crim son]

32. Oh, I'm grossly saddened by that.

:rofl: I do hope you feel better soon!

[WCGreen]

36. Well, in a minute or two....

I'm gonna let Ambien sweep me away to dream land...

[crim son]

39. I've got my meds right here. I never sleep without them.

Or eat without them either. Sleep tight, C.

[qnr]

7. No

Live dangerously, try a different one (as opposed to "another")

[crim son]

11. Maybe gin with a twist? SOLD!

What a fine idea, and thank you for the recommendation!

[Ptah]

9. You talking to me?

[crim son]

14. Ptah, you great God of Tall Plants,

I am always talking to you.

[Ptah]

17. I hope I haven't missed anything important.

Sometimes I'm dull that way.

All hail the sunflower.

:rock on:

[crim son]

23. Nah. You've missed nothing.

I'm getting my world in order. Oh! I will PM you.

[Ptah]

25. Keep talking anyway, I like the sound of your voice.

:hi:

[crim son]

29. Thanks dear one.

I've been told that, by people who have actually heard my voice! I sound like I smoke and drink to excess, when I only do the latter!

[Ptah]

43. I've neglected something very important.

I rarely do this but welcome to DU, crim son.

I hope you make friends.

:hi:

Here's my plan for the weekend:

[crim son]

44. Check your PMs.

Thank you for the welcome. I like it here very well.

[Ptah]

47. My PMs are fine, how are yours?

:shrug:

[crim son]

49. Arr. I read yours. Thank you, Ptah, for the sublety which

was totally lost on me (perhaps because I'm taking everybody's advice and having a strong one). :pals:

[RetroLounge]

10. Just drink it out of the bottle

why fuck around?

RL

[KitchenWitch]

20. That is what I always thought!

;)

[crim son]

31. Yeah, but don't you require something to take the dry edge off?

Or are you drinking beer? Me, vodka. Or gin. It's up in the air at the moment.

[crim son]

27. I'm shocked at the suggestion.

And I'll have more to say about it after I've retrieved it from the 'fridge. :)

[haf216]

16. As long as you in your own home

why not! I think all of you have talked me into it. i'm going to have a drink too!

[crim son]

33. A toast to you then, my friend.

:toast: :pals: I'm loving these smileys tonight!

[crim son]

35. Okay; that's bizarre. It posted twice. Take another gulp

to ward of the DU demons.

[haf216]

41. I toast you right back!

[crim son]

46. Danke. It's always better to drink with friends. n/t

[crim son]

34. A toast to you then, my friend.

:toast: :pals: I'm loving these smileys tonight!

[WeRQ4U]

19. Have a few.

ANd have one for me.

[crim son]

38. I will most certainly have the next drink on you.

Then I'm thinking I'll quit. We'll see however.

[jobycom]

22. I'll drink with you

I've got a bottle of Tequila in the freezer just dying to be opened. What you having?

[crim son]

42. Vodka and grapefruit; a greyhound.

Cheers, jobycom. Please make your drink a very spiritual one. Laugh. Or something.

[jobycom]

50. I've got enough spirituality on my own, I can handle an earthy mash

Simple old margarita. Suits the Texan in me. I prefer black russians, but now and then one wants the sweet.

What kind of vodka? Can you get Tito's up yonder?

[crim son]

53. I'm living penuriously.

My soon-too-be-ex bought me the cheapest stuff in the store. It's terribly sad... I used to be able to afford the best of everything. Funny, though, I don't feel sad until you remind me! Laugh. Is Tito's (I keep typing "Tits"... what does it mean?) good? I'll take a look for it if it is.

[jobycom]

56. It's an Austin made Vodka, very well crafted

It's distilled some ungodly number of times at different temps to distil out the different alcohols that create the bitterness, and the hangovers, in vodka. You have to taste it to understand it. It tastes cleaner and smoother than other vodkas. Some people think it is too clean, though--matter of taste, I guess. I like it, and vodka has always been my choice since before it was legal for me.

http://www.titos-vodka.com/

I can relate to the sudden poverty. Abandoning a spouse with a bank VP income has left me a bit light, too. But I think I'll live longer because of it!

Never heard of a greyhound. Sounds neat. Have to give it a try.

[crim son]

59. Cool; I'll check it out.

My thing is, I never had an interest in the money - or, better said, it doesn't bring out the best in me. I'm actually looking forward to making it on my own, even if it means I will no longer be the best-dressed babe in town (small town!)

[jobycom]

62. Does it ever?

Bring out the best in anyone? You're cool, that's better than best-dressed anyday. Anyone can put on clothes. You go deeper than that.

[crim son]

63. It doesn't matter. I am always, intially, judged by my appearance.

Women are meat; let's face it. Gee, am I off-topic?

[jobycom]

64. So?

Everyone is, people see before they hear. Refuse to accept that judgement, or value that opinion. You'll find more people looking beyond that than you expect. None of your friends here have any clue what you look like.

[crim son]

65. Better said, they speak with me despite the knowledge that

I am a troll. Laughing! I'm pretty; I am most often judged to be a middle-aged bimbo. It give me many opportunities, most of which are uninteresting. It also give me a certain perspective & related cynicism.

[jobycom]

66. I don't even know how people judge me.

I won't say I don't care, I'm curious, but I don't really know. It's kind of fun. I can be anything without surprising people much.

I wouldn't have thought of you as a bimbo. You write like me, think about thinks like me, slip into bitter sarcasm like me (I use the back space a lot to hide that!). Maybe that means I'm a bimbo! Cool! I figured you were attractive, from some of the stories you told. Not that it matters here. Even when I've seen people's pictures here, I don't form visual images when I read them, I just form intellectual impressions.

[crim son]

67. That's how I look at people here, too.

For a while I had a small friendship with somebody on DU. The thing is, he knew me only from my posts, naturally, and he was constantly misjudging me, my thoughts, my motives. It didn't matter, but it did make me think about how limited is this form of communication, based as it is on the desire to post something of interest but not necessarily of substance. Much of what's truly important to me would be regarded as very dull in a chat room!

By the way, I consider it a compliment that you might think we share certain characterisitics. :hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. Yes.

However, I'm not necessarily the best person to ask. I haven't had a drink in three days and that's a very long time for me.

[crim son]

51. Haruka of the beautiful eyes and many talents,

we have at least one thing in common - and it ain't the eyes and talents :)

[Schema Thing]

26. Of course you should...

...you didn't make any obvious typos in your post, so.... drink up!

[crim son]

55. That would be rare.

I value the written word highly, and I always try to put my best foot forward, so I'm much clearer in type than I am speaking :D

[Seabiscuit]

58. You need to be taken into the back yard and hosed down!!!

Shame on you!

:spank:

(:sarcasm:)

[crim son]

61. If this weren't the first cool night in months, I would

eagerly be hauled outside to be hosed down. Especially as I embark on this second one, which has about three shots in it. A few more minutes and I will be up for anything. Except sleep, which is really my only option.
