Then it is definitely an active A. I literally had to stop myself from laughing out loud during an argument last night because as my AH was quacking away all I heard was Charlie Brown's teacher and all I saw was a duck bill where his mouth should be. It was really funny and I almost had to pull an arm hair to stop myself from laughing. Thanks to SR for giving me the tools to recognize quacking bs when I see it now!!

How funny, I have learned so many new things from recognizing quacking to know when under the influence. AH told me the other day he knows things are different because I talk to him differently now. I asked what he means and he said because now I know the truth I don't react the way I use to. Example have dinner ready, wash his clothes, care that he is sick, run to the store at midnight to get medicine. Now its fend for yourself lol.

The biggest joke of the conversation was "You always wait until I'm drunk to talk to me about anything." Uhm, if I waited to talk to you when you're sober we may never speak to each other again.

I get this...I have a one hour window of opportunity to talk to my AH on weekdays when school is in session. Of course, I am busy trying to get ready for work and get my DD17 out the door to school. After I get home, he has crested the hill and is barreling toward the finish line (unconsciousness). That leaves the weekend, with its own set of issues.
