Well now, that is a good way to put it, Rosie. O.K. all you bad behavior people -------- listen to her advice. She may dislike Trump, but she has it right on the money here.
I don't buy it. I think drunk drivers who kill people are as guilty as if they had planned it. No sensible person gets behind the wheel when mentally/physically impaired and drives. It is premeditated unless someone holds a gun to your head and threatens to shoot you unless you drink too much or shoot up drugs or whatever drug addicts do and then forces you to drive. I would treat the drunk driver who kills someone as a murderer. I'm a tough old dame and if I were a judge drunks and drug addicts would not want to appear before me. Thank you for your reply Nj! :) I did that once when I was very young. Drove drunk. It was a miracle I made it home in one piece and did not kill anyone. The next day when I had a huge hangover but was sober I was grateful nothing bad happened. I never did that again. A glass or two of wine with food is one thing if you give it time to digest and wear off before you drive home. Having multiple drinks and eating very little and then driving immediately thereafter
is another thing entirely. I know you're teasing Nj! :)
i dont think it should excuse bad behavior
The legal limit for alcohol in California I believe is .08. As for your question about "temporarily emotionally unstable" and rushing to a hospital I have a personal story to share with you Nj. Years ago I was out one evening and when I came home the phone was ringing. It was about midnight so of course you know a phone call at that time of night can only be bad news. It was my aunt who told me that my mom had broken her hip and been taken to the hospital. I was unfamiliar with the hospital or the location and my aunt did the best she could to give me directions . I started crying. I know. What good does that do? I got in the car and headed out toward the hospital but I didn't know where the he** I was going. At some point I became aware of a siren and flashing red light and got pulled over by a cop. He said I was speeding. I was unaware of it. I was also crying. I told him about my aunt's phone call and that I was on my way to the hospital and I didn't know where it was. He told me to just follow him. He turned on his siren and red flashing light and sped through the srteets with me on his tail. I think we probably stayed within the speed limit but I can't be sure. He got me to that hospital in record time. Of course I couldn't thank him enough for his kindness . He wished me luck and left. No ticket . Just wished me luck. I shall never forget that. I was totally sober and I don't do drugs but I was a total emotional wreck. I pulled myself together and found my mom. So I understand how one can be 
temporarily emotionally unstable. Thank you for your reply Nj! :)
Me either pearl! Thank you for your reply! :)
I know. People survive unbelievable things and seem OK. The next day they drop dead. Ya never know what's out there with your name on it. Thank you for your thoughtful reply Nj! :)
Hi Nj. I just read your very thoughtful reply on another thread about the five senses and a documentary you saw about the horrors Japan perpetrated. For some reason there was no reply button on it or even a "message" button. I think I'm going to ask if there is some limit per each thread. Anyway your reply was very moving and horrific too. Watching footage of actual real-life horrors is worse than fictionalized carnage for me but I understand your point. I saw Saving Private Ryan too and thought it was a very good movie. We used to watch "The A Team:" and en joyed it because the characters were so goofy. I don't recall the story lines being all that violent but maybe that was because I knew it wasn't real so it wasn't that impactful on me. I don't like gratuitous anything ...violence especially. I still close my eyes if we're watching something is scary and Jim watches and tells me when it is OK to look. That's pretty pathetic isn't it? Thank you for your reply and the info you provided on that other thread and Happy Friday! :)
My memories of that TV show are so different from yours. We looked at it as if it were a cartoon. I don't remember the nature of the storylines or any of the details but Jim and I often say "I love it when a plan comes together". That was what the lead character used to say Mr. T was unique. Face was handsome. The goofy guy was goofy. None of them seem real. I don't like violence at all so I am perplexed that my memories of that show are radically different from yours. Thank you for your reply Nj and Happy Saturday to you! :)
I don't accept that as an excuse. My cousins husband got her drunk so she would pass out and then he came on to me.
When I got mad at him for it, he said he was sorry and that he had to much to drink.
He planned the whole thing, and he was not that drunk.
If a person acts like a fool when they are drinking or whatever, then they should stay sober and that is what I would tell them.
What a bum your cousin's husband is. Condolences. Does she know? Thank you for your reply Lulu'sMom and Happy Sunday! :) I wonder how many others he came on to who didn't get mad?
No, I never told her, but he never bothered me again.
He died some years later and she remarried and moved away.
That was a kindness on your part. On the other hand he was a player and a flirt and it's bad she didn't know. Thank you for your reply Lulu'sMom! :)
