I don't think the negligent gran/neglected kid-combo would have gone over in my neighborhood meetings either. We had pretty low tolerance -- even a loud snorer got a swift kick in the shin!
Bagder -- I told the last guy, "Thanks, but I don't drink" and he said, well I'd enjoy drinking with you while you didn't or words to that effect. He didn't mean any harm. This all has to do with that bleeding conference coming up. I will inevitably spend some time with other people drinking.
Steely, lovely to see you here! I hope the paperwork proceeds smoothly.
Today today today sober sober sober.
