also you may feel more drunk with less alcohol than you used, so keep that in mind.
This has been my experience. Celexa has made me even more of a lightweight.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On a whim I picked up TJ's Brie en Croute (wrapped in pastry).
Guess what? It's soooo good.
Hot melty brie wrapped in pastry. The French - they are the do that people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My ex-GF picked this up for a recent casual gettogether at her place and OMG so good. Like, I wish I didn't know about it, good. String cheese, I am not allowed to buy this without adult supervision, good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This is also my experience when I was on Welbutrin. But I didn't stop drinking, I just cut back, wasn't hard because it took less to get me schnockered anyway.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

So one shot of whiskey would be sufficient for getting me through an episode of Venture Brothers. Neat.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Andi, I totally know what you mean about looking at something, thinking, huh, that needs doing, and walking on by as if my robot fairy elf minions were gonna do it for me. And then later, you go by it again, and the same thing happens!
Hey that's me to, but in my case it's simply a powerful combination of denial, procrastination, and laziness.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Andi, welcome home. You've been well-wished and sorely missed, and your return is cause for celebration.
Joe, Happy Birthday!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
My doctor said that many ADs doubled the impact of booze, and to hold off on drinking until I knew how the meds alone affected me.
This is true for me. I have to be very careful with alcohol these days, although I do have a glass or two of wine of an evening and it appears not to destroy my brain entirely. Just a little bit.
Wishing you much help from the meds, Andi. Thinking of you.
Didn't want to say this yesterday because other people's situations were more important, but I had a convergence of events yesterday that led to a Very Bad Day. I need ~ma for the government agreeing to provide me a support worker so that I can teach this semester. If they don't, I have to give up my job, and it will likely be the end of my only-just-spluttering-back-into-life career. The govt agency that gives on-the-job support to disabled people is, like everything else, being cut back on a serious scale - they used to give me masses of help, and now they're saying I'm not eligible for any. They're actually currently suggesting that I use a student from my class, unpaid, to do everything that I need support with in lectures. Need them to change their minds, pronto, as I start teaching in two weeks. A bit of a miracle would be good here. (Had a sobbing temper tantrum in the direction of The Girl yesterday, about how this disability stuff is a never-ending battle with stupid people who don't think I deserve to live in society, but I'm feeling a bit less self-pitying today. Which is good.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lots of ~ma, Seska.
TJ's Brie en Croute
Mmm. Brie is one of the very few non-vegan foods that I really miss.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Andi, great to read from you.
Seska - oof, I'm sorry. So much ~ma for you and the girl.
As for me, I know I should really update you all on the past month. Briefly: The positive - Hollaback Israel is doing awesomeness. The negative - I wouldn't call Israel a democracy anymore. This country has fucked badly, and I can't see how it can make things right in the foreseeable future. Not sure where it puts me.
