I loved drinking wine, still do, I hardly miss it unless i see people on TV enjoying wine without any consequences. The hangxiety, and feeling terrible are seldom an acceptable exchange for that yummy rose'. I have so many things I need/want to do.

Thanks for this, Dense. As an atheist my prayers mean ... exactly what true believer's mean, to my mind. Which is not much in actual effect. But I also believe that at least radiating thoughts of love and long friendship can do no harm and might make both of us feel a slight bit better. I sincerely hope so. And on the off-chance there's something to theism I will supplicate the Old Gods in the Old Way, which will also do no harm - except to a few chickens and goats, whim I am willing to sacrifice for this greater good - and, akin to sussing lottery odds and buying a ticket regardless, could, in the farther reaches of statistical probability, do some good. I love you my friend, you are one of the few arguments against clearing the planet of the infection we call, with bitter, irony, "humanity." Checking the historical record one finds little humanity, kindness, compassion, or charity but for the sake of those few such as yourself, I will suffer the rest of these hairless tree-climbers. Love, Bucko the Wonder Pony
