I think the really drunk times stopped happening when alchol became very unpredictable in my system. I hate getting sick -- and my body started saying -- hey stop -- way too late.

Now I can't get the wife home safe, What kind of caretaker am I????

Think about how stressful the whole issue has been for you. You aren't protesting a theoretical wrong here. If all that led to too much drinking tonight, so be it. Give yourself a break.

So very much.

I saw your segregated signs on facebook and thought they were awesome. That'll be the part of the day that lasts. The rest is just an unusually long trip home, with lots of people to keep you company.

Now I can't get the wife home safe, What kind of caretaker am I????

Can't get her home safe yet. You've still got the caretaking going on.

What kind of caretaker am I

a perfectly normal one. My sister came home drunk one time to find her boyfriend had injured himself and needed to be taken to the hospital. They had to call another friend to help them because she could not drive.

Yeah, pretty much not driving when you know you can't is the kind of care taking that... is.

you are taking care of her -- by not driving and keeping watch.

Care -taking is rarely the fun part.

Next time her turn. That is the way it works.

Also we know other buffistae and friends in the Los Angeles area who might not be posting right now but can be summoned with cell phones. Just say the word and the cavalry is on the way.
