Good reasons to get drunk today. Add yours to the list, please!

[BikeWriter]

Mine: I have to attend VA group therapy today. :(

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. I have to take 1800 returnables (cans) in to get my deposit back.

:(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. Heee...The idea of a tipsy MrsG loading cans into a machine

is a :rofl:.

:D

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Hi!!!

I'll take pictures! :rofl: :hug:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

26. Good!

:D

:hug:

[BikeWriter]

23. That sounds a tedious chore, and better handled drunk! :-(

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Wanna come with? We could get it done in half the time!

:hi:

[BikeWriter]

33. We two? I doubt we'd get your chore done, Sweety. ;-)

[ZombieNixon]

2. Up all night writing a paper...still have to post ex's purse.

Also...out of alcohol :(

[BikeWriter]

37. You're out of alcohol? Oh, that's a definite bummer!

:cry:

[ZombieNixon]

42. Yeah, when I feel like I need to drink most, the fridge is always empty.

:cry: Sometimes I wish I were a lush, so I could get smashed off a pair of beers. :(

[wildhorses]

3. because it was a hard day's night...

and my night is your day....and because 12 hour shifts SUCK

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I'd been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright owww

4. Last final exam

[miss_american_pie]

5. Sibling rivalry hell

:hi:

[bigwillq]

6. I have to go up to Hartford

for this press conference for work.
It starts at 1 p.m. I usually work second shift, so this is kind of early for me to start to get myself together.

:(

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Hi will!

:hug:

Do they make you go right on to work then afterward? That would be horrid. They do that to my father a lot. Schedule a meeting or a class...and then he has to go right on to second shift. It makes for a very long day.

[bigwillq]

10. YES!

:( I have to go back into the office and take the phone calls for all the high school games being played today. They said I could leave though at 8 since I will be starting my day at noon!



:hi: :hug:

How are you? Why do you wait that long to bring back the cans???? :shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Because of the stupid do-it-yourself machines. There's usually a

line...and I hate standing there doing nothing. Okay, real reason? I'm L-l-a-a-a-z-zy!

I just don't like doing it and it's probably because I put it off for so long. I long for the days when you wheeled your cart in, they counted them, and handed you a slip. :(

[bigwillq]

14. We have do-it-yourself machines too...

and I hate bringing them back. It's like one of the worst jobs EVAH! I try and do it once every two weeks so there's like no more than 100 cans/bottles. I would never want to wait that ling to push 1800 through!


Have fun! :) :hi:

[peekaloo]

7. It's Wednesday. Good enough reason for me.

[progmom]

9. how about just one of these?

:hug:

[RazzleCat]

11. Going to Prosecuting Attorney to file

The ex owes over 4 years of no child support. Have appointment with the P.A. to file to have him placed in jail. Fell like a rat for doing it, but hey, FOUR YEARS!!, come on.

[eyesroll]

12. Because I was up until 1 and up at 5.

:boring:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. It's Wednesday!

Actually for me that's a good reason not to. The Wednesday bartender at the place I hang out at hates me. She's one of those people that will decide to hate somebody because she doesn't like one of your friends. Generally, whoever she doesn't like to begin with also hasn't done anything to her.

[Neoma]

18. I can't post a reason.

I've never been drunk after all.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. I was shocked, then I saw your age.

I got drunk the first time at 17. Got a stage crew job with a local professional theatre company and I'd be partying with the "adults." I think it's safe to say that I was corrupted by culture.

[Neoma]

25. Well, you'd probably be shocked.

When i'm 40 years old with no drug addiction. :smoke:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. That same job also introduced me to...

:smoke: It was a fun job. I still work for that company.

[2bfree]

20. No good reason.

I gave up drinking this year. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. There's weather. The sun is still burning. Paper exists. Rabbits are furry

How many excuses do you need?

[meegbear]

22. On this date Austro-German forces drive Russians out of the Carpathians

On May 3, 1915, during a 10-day-long stretch of fighting in the Carpathian Mountains on the Galician front in Austria-Hungary, a combined Austro-German force succeeds in defeating the Russian army near the Dunajec River (a tributary of the Vistula River that runs through modern-day northern Slovakia and southern Poland).

The Austro-German counterattack in Galicia in early May 1915 decisively ended nine months of victorious Russian advances in the region since August 1914. Struggling, Austria-Hungary had appealed to its more powerful ally, and the German army had stepped in, moving large amounts of troops into the region in an attempt to break through the Russian lines between the crest of the Carpathians and the mid-section of the Dunajec. On May 1, 1915, the German commander General August von Mackensen led the combined troops into battle behind an artillery bombardment by 610 guns, the largest yet on the Eastern Front, against Russian positions stretching along a 40-kilometer front.

Within 24 hours, the Russians had been driven out of the city of Gorlice, in western Galicia (modern-day Poland). Mackensen reported of the attacks that: “The enemy had been so shaken by the heavy artillery fire that his resistance at many points was very slight. In headlong flight he left his defenses, when the infantry of the allies appeared before his trenches, throwing away rifles and cooking utensils and leaving immense quantities of infantry ammunition and dead.” Mackensen’s forces continued their rapid progress over the next several days, crossing the Dunajec, 65 kilometers north of the city of Krakow, by May 3.

By May 6, the Russians had also abandoned the city of Tarnow, to the north of Gorlice, suffering heavy casualties; thousands lay dead on the battlefield, and the prisoners taken during the 10 days of battle would eventually number 143,500. As a result of the Austro-German offensive, the Russians were forced to abandon their positions in the Carpathians and withdraw many of their forces in the region to the vicinity of the fortress of Przemysl, the former location of Austrian headquarters until its fall to the Russians the previous March.

As Stanley Washburn, a British military observer assigned to the Russian forces, wrote of the Gorlice-Tarnow offensive, the battle was lopsided from the beginning: “Russia is not an industrial nation, and cannot turn her resources into war material overnight as the Germans have been able to do. She was outclassed in everything except bravery, and neither the Germans nor any other army can claim superiority to her in that respect. With the centre literally cut away, the keystone of the Russian line had been pulled out, and nothing remained but to retire.”

[Lilith Velkor]

45. Maybe, maybe not

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." - T.S. Eliot (?)
