Addiction 2022.2

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

There is truth to that. I don’t know how datlas avoids getting sued, right? Requiring an exam before prescribing meds or ordering test is absolutely outrageous! High prick level there.

Lol. I was being facetious.

I don’t even speak without permission. I’m a whipped old man.

The question is, would Siu buy that? Hmmm.

Was supposed to go out to Sals tonight for dinner but the wife wasn’t feeling to hot. On the way there we decided to order in from a restaurant close by our house. This restaurant is always slammed and I know many people in the community love it. We ordered a stromboli and a magharita pizza. The stromboli wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good. The pizza was the worst one I have ever seen or tasted in my life.

My wife was instantly offended when she opened the box. Something about it not even being a magharita pizza. Anyways, will not be ordering from there again.

My wife is acting right now like the restaurant assaulted her. Italians.

Jadesfire. She's a veterinarian, I think. I wrote to her a couple times about cat issues and she was very helpful.

I don’t think I have ever seen Siu in the three years I have been here.

In my several years of hired gunning for both sides, I never saw a defendant with high-level social skills and some were truly memorable ****heads.

Methinks you exaggerate a tad but I have heard of similar research.

When I was defending docs in the late ‘80s, my experience was the same. Often a simple apology and some empathy was all some people wanted.

I’m re-entering the sport after a 20 year hiatus.

Well, if she wants she can hunt me down and hurt me. I’m sure Bam knew I wasn’t serious.

Once you see her, it’s too late.

She doesn’t hunt, you’ll be whisked off in a white van and brought to the principal’s office. Poor bastid.
