I'm not going to gut the thread over this.
The solution is simple.
99% of problems between members can be solved with the ignore function.
There should be no need for me, or anyone else here, to get involved.
Instructions for ignore list:
thanks - let this be an end to it.

Instructions for ignore list:
Time was you could click on a name and ‘add to ignore list’…
it’s a little more complicated than it used to be.
Do you see User CP? Should be towards the left hand top of the screen. Click that.
then scroll down the left hand side of the screen until you see ‘edit ignore list’
Click that.
Type in the name. Hit okay.
Hit save changes.
They will see nothing amiss. You won’t see their posts again, unless someone quotes them.

Now, if the whiskey comes out at Bob's house I am out of there and he knows that. The young guy was trying to fit in. He tried to talk like he knows everything about cars as well. I happen to know that is not true. I let that go by with no remarks on my part. But the bragging about how much he could drink and then claiming he doesn't drink just flipped a switch in me for some reason. Probably because I am 6 months into my quit and the last thing I want to do is tell anybody how much I drank.

Hope everyone is doing well!
Husband is leaving for work soon. I’m going to walk the dogs and then get ready for bed.
Sometimes I’m scared to go to bed because I can’t sleep. But soon that will be in the rear view mirror.
And if I can’t sleep, I always have you nice ppls here to keep me company.
Oh! Did some stretches tonight. That felt good. Never been a fan of stretching or yoga. But it’s necessary if I want to keep running, cycling etc.

Brandy123, I wasn't used to being called 'dear' as well. But I know its not a bad thing. As for the bike, do you mean a cycle or a motorcycle? I recommend any second hand motorcycle. Cheap. Easy to feel. Also, I recommend renting motorcycles to feel them. When you really like something you can buy one.

I didn't sleep well last night.
I just feel kinda hateful toward my girlfriend and her sisters.
I'm glad that I didn't drink.
I wondered to myself if I'm magnifying things to give myself the go ahead to drink.
Most days go well for me so it's easy not to drink.
But when bad days come,
Darn it's hard.
I'm thinking of just breaking up with her,
But I've been hasty in writing people off in the past,
And then regretted it.
We do have a fair amount in common and have enjoyed each other's company.
But on the flip side, there are at least a few things I'm not happy with.
Yet, nobody is perfect.
Well.... sorry I'm just going on here.
I guess I'll be deep in thought today too

Today's been OK so far. Had a blip this morning with the water but I've stopped. Just been having coffee and small cups of my Pepsi Max which is behind the nurses' station. Diets going well. Studied a good bit of maths. Just stuff I would have found very simple at 15 but I'm rusty. I've abandoned studying college Linear Algebra for the moment. I really need a laptop screen and I need the to revisit the fundamentals. Restarted French on DuoLingo. Plan on taking a French class in the Spring term. They placed me in B1 last time so hopefully be doing that again.

I ignored him but he kept going on and on. Finally I said, "Bob, I remember when I was young and thought how much I could drink was something to brag about." Bob just replied "Yes, me too." But then his friend tried to backpedal. He said, "O I've actually quit drinking because it's just too expensive. " That's when I called him a liar. I said, "You are lying, no one has ever quit drinking and then brags about how much they can drink." He tried again to insist he had quit and Bob and I continued to call him on it. He decided it was time for him to leave. I don't regret calling him a liar. I just regret never recommending SR.
