Naples?

no, no, maybe, no, maybe, no, no

I like the color blue.

So no one got shot? Bummer

Something pretty bad may have gone down in Rwanda, but he wasn't there to witness it.

i didn't watch my family get hacked to bits in rwanda.

[liv2ski]

dont get me wrong. i'm hanging by a damned thread here, but apparently I still have this thread.

Thank God for that.

I think i'm better off just drinking more bourbon at this point.

Booze is about the worst thing you can indulge in at this point. I would encourage you to drink as little as possible and develop other habits that are good for your body and soul. Once you are through this down period and ready to start seeing other women, they will thank you for taking care of yourself.

[stfu&gbtw]

I'm of the other opinion... booze is great for the soul, if not for other parts of the body. Any drinking that doesn't cause a hangover is a-ok in my book.

[wyeaster]

yeah, i convinced myself i'm a different person and a victim. that's why i came back and said "i am fka spook," i apologized for my previous behavior and have tried to forward and went to alpental to meet a bunch of people who thought/think i'm an asshole. while i actually am a victim of something that is an epidemic in the u.s. -- i know, no big deal to americans. it's just a shooting -- i have only finally acknowledged what people a lot smarter than me and most of you have determined. interestingly, none of them view me as coopting a victimized attitude. in fact, they are amazed and supportive that i'm making hard decisions like many other people in this thread and trying to overcome a lot of heavy shit. acknowledging the magnitude of the problem is not being a "victim." it is properly ascertaining the problem so the appropriate approach to the future is available. there would not have been any psychotic ramblings if somebody had not communicated that they already had read them as a threat. the internet is awesome. everybody is a doctor, everybody is a tough guy, everybody is right even though it's all throwaway and barely even thought about. i wish all you divorced and soon to be divorced people well.

[Tippster]

Man, I missed something - you were a victim of a shooting?

Damn.

You and I have had our moments on here, but if you're ever in DC mi casa es su casa.

[wyeaster]

i'm only posting again because several people here have communicated that they don't know what i'm referring to. that and because the struggle to deal with it and for people -- everybody, not just my wife. my entire family -- around me to deal with it is why i'm in this thread with the rest of you.

again, apologies for the drift but not everybody going through divorce has rage and bitterness about cheating and separating large assets. sometimes people go through the end of a relationship and have other things that are more dominant. in my case, my future has to be the best future i am capable of providing in my son in my current state and i can't figure all that out at once after being stuck in the same place trying to do the same things for 30 years and failing miserably.

[wyeaster]

Booze is about the worst thing you can indulge in at this point.

the truth no matter what. it's impossible to find some emotional consistency with alcohol in my opinion and you need as much of that for you and everybody else as you can as you deal with the completely legitimate emotions to your situation. drinking will only make everything worse.

act ii, scene iv. don't drop my cue cards again.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

I laid off the drinking during my separation and divorce, it only makes it worse

[Tippster]

Damn PTSD. Vibes.

drinking will only make everything worse.

Since when is weed ok for the mentally unstable?

http://www2.nami.org/factsheets/marijuana_factsheet.pdf

The overwhelming consensus from mental health professionals is that marijuana is not helpful—and potentially dangerous—for people with mental illness. Using marijuana can directly worsen symptoms of anxiety, depression or schizophrenia through its actions on the brain.

Wait, spook went to law school?

i think maybe you need to review your neanderthal attitudes to mental health. in my case, what you are referring to as "mental instability" is top percentile duration and severity ptsd. i could go into all the compounding issues but almost all of them have been shown to respond positively to cannabis, otherwise, i would not be in the mmj program. it's interesting that after beating myself to death and being ridiculed for failing and being broken emotionally -- a bowl of emotional jello as you so aptly put it, 4matic -- the harvard doctor told me when we were done with several days of grueling and painful shit that if i'd been in the military, i'd have gotten a medal for what happened. in society, i have suffered in silence and ridicule and humiliation. maybe if you can't get over the fact that it's spook that's talking here, you could consider that there are millions of people in similar situations you might even like or care about if given the chance.

you might consider sticking to commenting on golf and firing people because a lot of the rest of your ramblings come off as deeply insecure and antiquated. not to mention mean.

i think you're over your head, 4matic, but i'm sure there people here can inform you better than i can if they have the motive or the energy.

Did your Harvard Psychiatrist load up the chimney for you?

[iceman]

that alias ain't tuck. you lie, Icemang.

dang you are right, I got confusimicated, my bad. I was thinking about some other thread about divorce started by an alias. I can't even find it now.

[wyeaster]

Did your Harvard Psychiatrist load up the chimney for you?

he wasn't my psychiatrist. he read the newspaper article and wanted to help. why? because his wife was in there with me and it ruined her life to. but you go ahead with your advanced knowledge and kindness, 4matic.

Why are you an expert on the effects of booze? Booze bad. Weed good!

[wyeaster]

Why are you an expert on the effects of booze? Booze bad. Weed good!

well, i drank profusely for almost 20 years after the shooting, and alcoholism runs in my family. if you had read anything i said about marijuana previously, you would know that i have never made any blanket statements about the positive effects for anybody, including myself.

keep it up, 4matic. your vibe is coming through loud and clear. i'll be in san diego for three days if you want me to shoot my best score against you.

[4matic]

So you should just shut up about booze. Why not get a job at a golf course like Carl Spackler.

you mean because i and my intermittent medical professionals dealt with it for 20 years? i can't deal with people, 4matic. that should be obvious by now. but if you'd like to argue with the my doctors of the dept. of ed who forgave all my loans because i'm permanently disabled and can't work, i can give you the contact info and you can share your enlightened views on "mental instability."

so you don't want to play is what you're saying?

[4matic]

Your doctors prescribed the ganj?

If it's not mental illness why are you disabled?

I have a private club. It has a pond if you want to swim.
