Drinking for two years (52 weeks times 15 years = 780 days.) paulcurtis January 19 2007, 02:33:02 UTC
Holy Crow! How do you manage to nurse a drink all day, like that? I can barely make one drink last half an hour, so by your one-a-week standard, I'd have made those 780 drinks last just 16 days. Hardly seems worth opening the bottle.

On the other hand, I've probably put in a couple, three years drinking coffee...

>Fortunately, I don't date much anymore.

I'm sure that frees up some resources.

Now that I'll soon be driving again, I'll probably go back to dating a bit, but it will take a certain amount of resolve. It is more convenient NOT to have a girlfriend, but I find myself more easily amused and involved with life when I DO have one, so (in my case) I'll derive greater satisfaction from plunging back into dating again.

Your mileage may vary.

One great line among many from "Rabbit Run" by John Updike:

"...The feeling of beinng alone would melt a little with a little drink. It wasn't so much that it dissolved the lump as made the edges nice and rainbowy."

It sounds like you're ready to take a look at the lump.

Best.
