Well, I've been informed too, and I'm telling you to get Woodford Reserve. So I don't know what you're waiting for...

Woodford Reserve

It means that the next time the two of you are playing poker, you can cheat and take all of her money, and she'll forgive you.

That's good. You'll be better looking if you have more money.

I emailed you a pdf file that has a peer-reviewed article with a bunch of psychobabble about skydiving. I was going to attach it here, but it was too big. Hope that helps...

Well that would be the ideal solution, and sometimes alcoholics do learn to drink in moderation. But many alcoholics drink themselves to death trying to learn to have "discipline." I believe that freedom from addiction is generally the goal. And for someone who has a serious addiction, that's a pretty big achievement. Right, but for the alcoholic who can't learn to drink in moderation, a life of abstinence is probably better than a life spent constantly drunk or hungover (and eventually in jails and/or hospitals). If you want to read a really boring book, check out George Vaillant's "The Natural History of Alcoholism." He spends a lot of time discussing whether it is a disease or not, and basically concludes that it's debatable. But he does provide some statistics that show better outcomes for people who think of their alcoholism as a disease and treat it as such. He also has statistics showing that AA is only slightly better than getting no treatment at all, but I don't think we really have any reliable statistics about that. If your friend is attending a 12-step program, then I suspect he has already spent a lot of time trying to learn to have discipline regarding alcohol and drugs. The best thing you can do is provide support to him. You should be honest about your feelings, but if your knowledge of the 12-step program is based on South Park and other such media, then hopefully you'll try to learn more about it before deciding what you think about it.

Nice. I like his NIN covers, but I'm surprised that he doesn't have "Piggy" on there.

Yes, there are martyrs in most every religion, but dying for what you BELIEVE to be true is a LOT different than dying for what you KNOW to be false. Which is the case if the aspostles were willing to die for a myth they created. I don't think he was implying that they knew it to be false (?), just that their belief was not necessarily true (even though they believed it to be true).

I think that they should have some type of health/fitness requirement... maybe something that could be filled either with PE, health science, nutrition, etc.

Umm, Remi, being mean to French Canadians is not sinful. So I am a perfect .

I have no lawn for him to cut. Hmm, we are talking about grass, aren't we?

Ooh, I like the shag version. I need one of those. I usually set my alarm for 30 minutes before I need to get up so that I can hit the snooze a bunch of times.

I just got a myspace friend request from Jesus. I feel so special now.

So does this mean that you're a girly man?

No offence to your mother, but how many times do you give someone a leg up before you realize that they are not really interested in rising above where they are at. Not sure what my mother has to do with any of this(?). Steve was talking about a girl who got to go to college for "free" since her mother was too poor to pay for it. If the girl was going to college, it sounds like she was interested in rising above where she was at.

No doubt, but are there only those two choices? I'm sure there are other choices, but since you were talking about working your butt off only to watch someone else get a "free ride," I stuck with those two choices. And growing up on welfare with a mom who can't seem to stay in a stable relationship? Doesn't sound like much of a "free ride" to me. Personally, I would have been happy to see that she was using the educational resources available to her to make a better life for herself.

I'd rather work my butt off and live in a country where everyone has access to education and good health care than work my butt off to live in a country where poor people get poor education and poor health care. Having healthier, well-educated people in our country (even if some don't work for it) would make it a better place to live IMHO.

I believe in hell as a state of mind. But I voted "no" on the poll because I didn't think that was the sort of hell he was referring to.

Addictive.

I've been trying to keep my myspace page PG-rated (for my nieces and nephews), so I've avoided adding many dz.commers to it. And I don't have much on there anyway.

What's really crazy is that I fail to be even the tiniest bit surprised about it. But then I do live in the meth captital of the world...

Ditto.

If the point is just to celebrate marriage, it doesn't make much sense to call it a bachelor party.
