Thanks for letting me vent a bit yesterday, I just needed to talk it out. I cringe when I think of all my own history of drunk behavior and what I did and what people thought watching me. And I know I could be back there....
I don't want to go back though.
I don't want to go back.
Just doing my best to protect my decision.

What a great reminder that we all had landlines back then and using the phone line to get on the internet, no one could call us when we were on the computer. Later they would say, "I tried to call you for hours and your phone was always busy".

Nowadays the new trend going around is to purge all your old stuff, clean those attic boxes out and just downsize and get rid of all that old stuff, which is so sad because so many treasured pieces of history were thrown away!

On the Bus!
