    In my case it would be because I have such an efectious personality and they drink so much ,just in case they catch me ....knowing full well that most of medical science have given up on me   :)

    That question saddened me for some reason.

    And then I clicked on the question. And the image made me sadder. (Yet, it's a beautiful image in many ways to me. I really, really like it)

    If someone told me that he/she had to drink for a week before talking with me, I'd take it not too well most likely.

    I would hope the person might elaborate on the statement. That is, if the person felt a need to tell me such a thing in the first place.

    Ha!
    :)
    Truly, thank you Jaimie!
    I was really letting the question bum me out. It struck me as so sad.
    And then that beautifully sad-to-me photo. I love that photo, though, too, at the same time. I've never seen it before. It speaks to me. Beautiful things need not always be happy, that's for sure.
    :)

    We’ll I’m guessing this question was inspired by that exchange because he posted this right after lol.   I could see how the question and pic could be seen as sad too though :)

    Thanks :)

    My mind is sort of racing at the possibility of the many ways of how Randy D's question and that beautiful photo have struck me today - - this all could be an excellent movie / novel or short story or something. It's all somehow incredibly moving to me. And, then, maybe as a kicker surprise ending of some sad story --  in would come you saying, "Oh - no -- don't be sad -- this is what happened" -- ha!
     :)

    This is all cool to me :)

    Thanks, Element 99, ha!
    :) 

    Yeah, Jaimie gave me more details on the question. :)

    The question by itself - I was letting it get to me, thinking about how sad it struck me.

    And Toto's "Africa" is palying on the radio now -- that song by Toto always makes me feel better, too! Ha!

    (Not Weezer's 'Let-s-try-to-sound-exactly-like-Toto' cover, ha! And I like Weezer -- just not their cover of the song)

    EDIT: I'm leaving the typo 'palying' - I ALWAYS type that word wrong the first time, every time and today I'm tired of correcting myself

      I didn’t mean to make you sad, my friend, nor anyone else, but especially not you. This post was purely in jest, and it’s all about Jaimie, BUT PLEASE DON’T TELL HER THAT!  (You know how she gets when she’s in her “everything-is-always-all-about-me” modes.) I will deny it vehemently if you tell her.

    Thanks, Randy D! (And I will not tell anything to Jaimie, ha!) And I really appreciate your kindness in wanting to let me know that your question was a fun question.
    :)



    Yeah, I admit -- I let the thought of your question sadden me but I promise I'm good. And the sadness was even a good type of sad. Your question -- and that oh-so-fine photo -- moved me. I often find in life that fine art moves me - - all of my emotions are open. And, often, the 'sadder' fine art things, like music, novels, short stories, movies, are what strike me the most. Like Lars Von Trier's movie "Dancer in the Dark" -- the best movie I've ever seen and it is SO sad to me. And Michael Haneke's original 1997 "Funny Games" movie (not his own American remake of the same movie) -- THE most disturbing movie to me but it is a masterpiece for me. My point -- sad things can move (and sometimes disturb) me in good ways. And your question was one of those - - and then that image -- it all combined for a big "resonance" in that part of me -- the part that sees myself when I experience my feelings though music and words and visual images - - things like that.

    I'm not explaining myself so well it seems. And I need to go get some work done now.
    But do know I'm good -- there was sadness but sort of that quiet profound type of sadness that reminds me that life is good. 
    :)

    They are scared and stressed, and probably angry.

    They can't cope with the intensity of their emotions.

    They don't know how to deal with the situation.

    They are already addicted to alcohol.

    Addiction is a physical and psychological disease in which the addict has no self-control.
