Wash ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Is it anyone's place, ever, once you've reached majority, to say "That's not good for you?" In any arena?
Besides a doctor or an intervention, I'd say no. Adults either already know the alcohol/sugar/cocaine isn't good for them and they're doing it anyway, or they're in denial and they'll ignore you anyway.
Do interventions ever actually work?
Do interventions ever actually work?
Yes. It wasn't an intervention like you see on A&E, but when we confronted my uncle about his drinking almost 30 years ago, it got him into inpatient rehab. He was sober until the day he died last year. Granted, this wasn't the first time anyone tried to get him to stop drinking, but this was the only time my aunt promised to leave and take their son. Sometimes you just have to find the right motivator.
Good to know they do work sometimes.
alcohol/sugar/cocaine
Relationships/job decisions/car purchasing choices/etc...you don't give advice? Even solicited?
I'd like to think I'd listen. That's part of being a responsible adult, to let people you trust and respect call you out on stuff that may be damaging to what you actually want out of life and your wellbeing.
Thanks, Toddson! I found it for $1.00 on Abe.
I ate a donut hole just now. I feel no regret (except for the part where it wasn't a giant donut hole the size of a baseball).
Shit, that was really good.
So a hat big enough to frighten a horse is all right, but a small fascinator isn't?
Apparently, they aren't considered formal.
