Yup, I have been wondering where everyone went. Thanks Bob, for starting a new thread. ;-)

Which is why you work in a cubicle in a large office setting.

My software is officially in production at Reliant, and I'm now in the process of shoring up the defenses and making it stable enough for me to take a week of vacation in March to go to AUSTIN for the 2002 South-By-Southwest music festival which will include NEIL FINN as a headliner. Woowooo!

You're cooming to Sucks by Sucksworse? Wahoo! Beer may be in order -- although I'm off the wagon temporarily, Richie (who drinks just fine) and I would still love to hook up for a beverage or two at a pub of your choice.

See, I had this friend once. He was thinking that maybe he was starting to enjoy drinking a teensy bit too much, I think was the deal, so he decided not to drink during 2000. And he did it. When he realized how much he missed drinking, he knew he'd done the right thing. Now, of course, he's drinking socially again, but much less. And it also takes a LOT less to get him tipsy.
So, the reason I stopped drinking for 2002 has nothing to do with that. But it's a nice story. :-)
I'm working on consuming fewer calories. See, I'm HUGE. I moo on occasion. God, it's EMBARASSING. Anyway, a beer is apparently about the same caloric intake as a milkshake, so I was thinking "Do I really NEED to drink? Do I need the extra pounds it's adding?" I couldn't come up with why I NEEDED it, so I gave up alcohol, chocolate and candy for 2002.
But catch me on New Year's Eve this year. I've already got my order in for a pitcher of Bob's margaritas. Yowza.

thanks for the description, but the confusion was "off the wagon"....when people fall "off the wagon" they start drinking again..if i am not mistaken.

You know, there's a whole Seinfeld episode about the difference between "on the wagon" and "off the wagon".
It's easier to say, "I don't drink."

Gave up alcohol and sugar for a month to fight depression. OH, and I started weight training every day. It works! I might extend it another month or two.

well sooz, welcome to the life of the more-or-less permenantly sober.... (last drink I had was new years if memory serves.. one glass of Asti... and had a headache before the glass was gone too... I suspect it may be a allergy to the yeast from the fermentation process....)

Gowan remembers more about the skeletons in my closet than I do. He has to remind me of all the fun I've had sometimes.

sooz: Yeah, that's the one irony of getting older. You know you were a wild and crazy person when you were younger, you just can't remember exactly what it was you did!
Or maybe it's just alcohol amnesia...

on the subject of memory and the lack of same... I'm trying to decide if what's happening to me is normal aging effects or something else... I can be talking about something I know intimately to someone and I'll come to a word I want to use, and it just isn't there! I know what it means, I've probably used it three times in the last week, I can almost remember what it sounds like, but I just can't make it come out. other aspects of my memory don't seem affected nearly as much (and my memory used to be the one thing I was most proud of...) it just seems to be language usage. am I going crazy or am I just getting old?

That started happening to me last year, and it's happened to me a couple of times in the past week ALONE.
I, personally, blame it on my anti-depressants. Right on the paperwork it came with, in big letters, it said "Side Effects: May Cause Short-term Memory Loss". And dadgum it... it does!
