Woke up at 1:300 A.M. yesterday morning and scrolled through my Facebook to find an old classmate, after being on sobriety for ten years fell off the wagon. Later that evening he called 911 and then took his own life.
Suicide Hotline, PLEASE, if you ever consider this terrible act.
What a way to end the week. :(
I'm one sad pigeon.

And now for your weekend safety brief:
If you drink, drink in moderation. Alcohol addiction is second only to heroin in the horror factor. In fact in some ways it's worse. Take it from me, I'm dealing with a couple really bad cases tonight. The DTs are a real sad thing to watch. Be smart, stay away from dosing your problems with liquor.
This has been your monkey PSA.
And it's more common, more insidious, and the path toward it is much more tolerated socially.
Also, I don't remember if it's the case with heroin, but for really late phases of alcohol addiction cold-turkey quitting can even kill you because of imbalance of neurochemicals in your brain. Unlike quitting smoking or weed which never incorporate themselves into brain chemistry to that degree.

So, do you have 6 flea-ridden cats, or one REALLY infested kitty? Or are the drops for you? Do dragons get fleas? Dire fleas?
One cat with that many fleas is gonna need a lot more than flea drops.

That's putting it politely. I remember the images he posted. It was..well...I was going to say "horrible" but that seems so inadequate. The trauma of his family over what his brother suffered, and how he suffered...it was...I have no words bad enough.

I am cooking dinner for three guests. I'm excited, but I need to plan out my campaign. I got an interesting brining recipe I think I'm going to go with. I need to prep the dinner roll dough the day prior. And, of course, get the stuffing set. I go minimalist with stuffing: Bread, butter, Bells seasoning.

And of course, I'm having Thanksgiving on Monday 11/28. Actual Thanksgiving is too profitable a holiday to take off. I'm working 16 hours, but with double time that will be 32 hours. I'm just hoping the Holiday depressives don't ramp up early and show up Thanksgiving all likkered up and angry at the world because their ex-wife took the kids to the new hubby's in-laws' house for dinner..

We have a hawk in the yard that hunts..., pigeons amongst other things. Stays around for week to ten days then disappears. I'm trying to get a tripod and camera mount so i can record him remotely and post it on YouTube.
An anthropomorphic hawk character.., hmmmmm. I like the sound of that.
Any suggestions on race?
