No ones problems are trival to them. I hope you start feeling better soon
LOL. Typical quality imagery in your simile FF. It never fails to tickle me when you align a romantic and serene image (the beach with us soft sand, despite the struggle getting up the hill) with the unromantic death and destruction and general yuck of life with alcohol, (with your half-ton dead walrus). Thanks. That one will stay with me.
