This is why I do not tell my doctor that I have a glass of wine every day.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yes?
Oh, you probably mean the kitty there!
Alcohol is a drug. It is often abused, but I certainly don't believe it is inherently more dangerous than most other drugs. Based on what the one Xanax I ever had did to me, I'd rather go with the alcohol. It's easier to limit dose.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
One of my friends tells a story about John Denver time. Her mom was gettign very stressed, just basic life stress. at the time when mother's little helper was perscribed easily and often. Mom's doctor gave her a choice of a pill or a glass of wine . mom chose wine. When Mom got stressed , she put on music she liked, and sat down with a glass of wine. Interstingly , this gave a clear signal to the kids that mom was hanging by a thread, the needed to calm down , and so would mom. The adult kids, remember the ritual of John denver time with fondness. I don't think all that would have come from a pill

Because books.
John Denver Time is brilliant! Although here it would likely be Grateful Dead Time or The Jam Time. I may have to try this.
Erin, you're going to have incoming e in a bit, not about writing.

What is even happening?
The wife of our minister used to send her kids up to their rooms for either a half hour or an hour every afternoon, so she could be alone and relax. I don't know if there was wine (although she'll have a glass), but I loved her for telling that to a bunch of youngish mothers.

Also, if I didn't think it would make me terribly sick to my stomach, I'd totally be downing my night meds with some alcohol tonight. I need to sleep, dammit!
Also, also, {{{Erin}}}. Sounds like you've got a good plan for the evening.

Oh...had soup. Hand delivered with a hug from a friend. GIANT vat of hot and sour! I feel so much better now!
vw, I take Ambien for sleeping, and you do not want to take that shit with booze, unless you wanna end up in the hospital. I've done some...things...in my life, but Ambien kicks my ass. Which, taken as prescribed, is wonderful!
