All hobbies are just designed to keep you from drinking before seven o clock.

Guess I need a few more hobbies.

AM or PM?

Because you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

One of my favorites! Learned it from my son...

Unless drinking is your hobby.

This guy has the right idea.

I didn't feel like cooking last night, so I made a sandwich for dinner. It wasn't so much a sandwich as much as it was just bread. I guess it wasn't so much bread as it was grain...Fermented grain...Distilled, fermented grain...!

Is there an AA forum on here?

Here is one that I remember from my youth, that is not true now

Pictures don't lie.

Even worse than that, they can make videos of people saying stuff they never even thought. IOW, someone can state (via video) that you said "I will first blow up the Brooklyn Bridge, and then the Empire State Building" and it will appear 100% that you said that, even though you never even thought it and in fact are 100% opposed to the idea.

Seriously thinking of buying 10,000 acres in Alaska and going totally off-grid. No SSN, no taxable income, just disappearing. No cell phone, no internet, nothing but me and the Great White North.

Remember that hatred has only Pyrrhic victories.
- From the book, Dear and Glorious Physician.

I had to look up "Pyrrhic." It refers to a victory that came at such a high cost that it is not considered worthwhile.

Sad.

But true.

Here's another good Churchill quote......it close

You can count on the Americans to always do the right thing.........after they have tried everything else.

I read that book many, many years ago; it had a profound effect on my way of thinking.

An amazing 2 letter English word

A reminder that one word in the English language that can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and preposition.

UP


This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word. The word "UP". It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv.], [prep.], [adj.], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are politicians UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.

At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is clogged UP.

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. Then when the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, the earth soaks it UP. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . my time is UP!

Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?

U

P !

Did that one crack you UP?

Now I'll shut UP!

Talking of weather,
We used to say that the weather man did not know his azz from his elbow and that's why he'd roll up his sleeves B4 going.

In reality Weather forecasters are the only people that have ever been able to predict the future with any accuracy...and for the most part they do a very good job...

But why do some people say their house burned UP and others say their house burned DOWN?

But why do some people say their house burned UP and others say their house burned DOWN?

I would guess that the house burned down but everything in it burned up...?
