  1. Depp just cracks me up with how unshaken he is on the stand.  Lawyer shows a video of him drunk in the morning and "assaulting some cabinets" cursing pours a "mega pint" of wine and being over all nuts.  Video ends and the next shot is JD sitting there on the stand looking calm as fuck and then asks.  "Do we have a date on this?"

    How's anyone getting seven figures out of Mike Tyson? He's flying Jet Blue, for fucks sake. 

    I assume Mike is going somewhere on a promo gig or something.  The people holding said gig would be the ones paying for his travel.  They probably chose JetBlue.

    All of this based on my extensive knowledge of what goes on in a typical day with Mike.

  3. Trial is being televised.

    First, Heard looks like she wants to gut Depp from his crotch up to his throat while he is on the stand.  She looks calculated, I know that look.

    Second, Depp's lawyers need to tell him to STFU and not ramble while answering questions.  

    Third, the text about hoping to find her dead corpse rotting in the trunk of a honda civic is hilarious.

    Last, she reminds me of my ex.  Stone cold narcissistic evil bitch.  Rooting for Johnny.  Will he be able to make a career comeback after this?

    Judging from the responses, I’m guessing the path I’m on will only get worse, correct?

    We would rather see you succeed than have a potential mistake that could cost you for the rest of your life.

    I've been meaning to share here, but haven't had the chance to sit at a real keyboard and "get it out", so to speak...but I thank the Surly members that showed their support for my dip-of-the-toe a few weeks ago.  Essentially, I'm a long time listener but first time caller.

    I'm 51.

    I've always been a partier.  Since college.  Dominant personality with a hedonistic attitude.  For anyone that's ever been in a band, when I say that I suffer from LSD (Lead Singer Disease), well then...you can extrapolate my dominant personality from that...ha!

    I've never stopped, though.  I've always been a party animal, even though I live a fairly domesticated existence.  I cook, and I'm damn good at it, but it gives me an excuse to drink while I do it.  On the grill, at the stove, in the oven, managing the smoker...always a cold beer, glass of wine, or excellent Bourbon in my hand.

    We moved (back to Texas...yay!) to Lufkin from Fort Myers, FL in 2019 with nothing.  The first pieces of furniture purchased were a Smoker and a Bar.

    My idea of going on vacation is going to the local bars, hanging with the locals, and finding out about the area.  Or...going to places I know and drinking (and eating).  

    My tolerance is so fucking huge that I'm perfectly fine until...I'm not.  By the time the alcohol kicks in, I'm well beyond redemption.  The next morning yields nothing but blackouts and guilt (even if I've done nothing).  

    In January 2021, my Mother died.  She died at home, in my Father's arms at their home in Seguin.  3 minutes later, I pulled into the driveway (after a 300 mile drive), with my Doctor-Wife in my ear urging me to check for a pulse (she was previously on the phone with my Father).  That's how I said goodbye to my Mother (who was already dead).

    My Father had been her full time caregiver for the previous 5 years.  Since then, I have spent the past 16 months as HIS caregiver.  Without exaggeration, 50% of my time was spent in Seguin between January and August 2021, and then we moved my Father into our house in Lufkin.  And then had to go back to deal with...shit.

    Did I mention that my Father had 3 shoulder surgeries during this time-frame and that I was there to see him through it all...?

    We weren't prepared for the level of dysfunction that surrounded him.  

    He's never once had to clean up after himself...and it shows.  He's grieving.  He's depressed.  He's (we know NOW) clinically suffering from Dementia.  There is not a day goes by that I don't clean up something that has been (either) bled on, pissed on, or smeared with shit, and nothing I do/say seems to correct his behavior/awareness.

    Fuck it...I'm tired of typing.  Suffice it to say that my motto has always been:  I don't drink to escape, I drink to cope.  Well...clearly I'm coping with more than I can stand.

    I'm a Binge Drinker.  Plain and simple.  I known the Weekend Warriors, and the Habitual Drinkers, and the Every Day Drunks, but none of those are me.  I don't have to drink every day.  I'm perfectly fine on the days that I don't, but...

    On the days I DO drink, I just cannot moderate.  I think I have come to terms with "being powerless".  

    Therein lies my problem.  I don't want to quit, but I will if I have to.  I just want to cut down.  But...if I am truly powerless before alcohol, then...

    By they way, it is 9:50pm.  I started drinking at 12:30pm.  Since then, I have had (2) Speckled Hen, (1) Yuengling Light), (2) Modelo Draft, 5 Fishbowl Margs, (2) Modelo Draft, (3) Carlsberg pints, and (1) Miller Lite.  And I'm still typing this.....

    I'm angry.  I'm pissed.  I'm doing 8 million fucking things a day.  And...I'm drunk.

    And I'm trying to figure out how to improve.....

    Irth, as Mac said, you sound a lot like him.  I am sure you sound a lot like all of us, myself included.  I was a daily drinker, did not want to quit even though I knew I needed to.  I tried to tell myself and my wife I would moderate it.  That was just another lie I was telling myself so I could not let go of it.  I drank till I was asleep/blacked out.  Just like you a large part of vacation and trips was drinking and eating.  In Mexico I would be drinking at 10am poolside all day.  In Europe it was shopping and drinking throughout the day.  I don't have the issue with my parents like you posted, but it has been a rough ride.  Dad is older and forgets shit al the time.  Mom just lost her leg to Cancer last Christmas and it has pretty much sucked.  It adds to the daily stress and dealing with my parents makes me want to drink.  Hell I think it makes everyone want to drink dealing with their folks.

    It took a trip to Vegas in January with the wife and going to a private party at the Raiders Stadium that was top notch.  I of course over served myself and still to this day have no idea how I gt back to the hotel.  My wife has filled me in later that I was not happy with the shuttle service and wanted and uber, then we were stranded in some parking lot in the middle of the night waiting for the uber who could not find us.  All while I could barely stand up.  I thought I would quit then, but it took getting home and having too much and having an argument with the wife and saying things that I would never say to her.  I think I was so drunk I thought I was talking to my ex.  But I woke up knowing I had fucked up, but not knowing how.  Wife was ready to leave me that morning.  That was the last time I had a drink, Jan 30, 2022.

    Not drinking for me has really shown me what my triggers were.  Cooking like you mentioned is a big one.  Always have to have a drink in my hand.  I still do, it is just non alcoholic.  With summer coming up it might be a little bit of a struggle but I feel I have a good head start.  I sometimes have a NA beer, or a mocktail to trick my brain and I discover that it is the action, and habit that I crave as much as the booze.

    You can do this.  There is help in many forms to be found.  Stopping was the best thing I have done.  My life is better, my attitude is much calmer, and my marriage is so much better.  I am sure you can make it to these places.  If you need to vent this is a good spot.  If you need to vent privately feel free to send me a PM.  I will listen.

  6. Not an unhinged or tantrum post at all.  Just the mods showing his bias. I sent him a well deserved profanity laced email saying as much.  CR glue sniffers hate being exposed on crap they believe, especially when it is a dumb as the list I posted above.  So they report it, neg it, then the mods come to their rescue while they go hide and drift back off to fantasyland.  Right Captainant.

    watching people who constantly post political grievance whine about getting baited into politics

     

    So you admit that CR fuckheads attempt to bait posters into political arguments and lure them into the CR.  Got it.

    Also, nobody was "baited" they're complaining about a typical CR fuckhead was attempting point number one.

    If you're going to call it "CR" to ask for specific examples in response to claims to victimization, and then threaten punishment for reasoned and cited disagreement, that's some top-shelf bitchassedness.

    Why don't you go start your own forum.

    It’s really hard to accurately speculate when you have the personality of an Elon Musk mixed with the financial capacity of an Elon Musk. Is this a fun toy or is it deeper than that? He’s a wildcard.

    This is what I am pondering.  He has fuck everyone money, and don't know if he is just messing around or if he is really going to take it over.  I understand the rules of acquiring wealth, but he is so far beyond that his rules are his alone.

    I am thinking he takes it over, re works the twitter rules and the stock goes to the moon.
