Please try to understand that you are reading the typed word, and not seeing the faces shown behind the typed words.

You're young - and I do know how you feel. Truly.

You are NOT "over drinking" just like you are NOT over being a celiac anymore than I am NOT "over" sugar. (I had too much milk chocolate this week and it sent me REELING...I had to refrain from answering many posts for awhile).

Oh, there is no doubt you WANT to be past drinking - but please try to look at this thread with new eyes...and reread what you yourself have told us with your own words.

We do love you and we do want the best for you. Yeah, even Vulcanel. (even if he gets on here and says, "bullsh_t")

I gotta go. In time, you WILL see this.

I love you!

(I'm not a Christian in the "typical" sense either)...fwiw...

PS EDIT:
As far as "spanking" goes, I think it's under-rated. I am almost 52 and I actually wish I had a man strong enough to see through the BS I pull sometimes and put me over his knee when I deserve it. a la John Wayne in those oldtime movies...but my own husband is still too busy eating more even when his gut is making him cry out in pain. Makes me just want to SLAP the snot out of him! lol

I don't mean spanking as ABUSE, just as a wake-up call. A "reminder" if you will. One that will "stick" with you...

When you're in Thailand, you will remember some of the things that have been said to you this week, and you will be grateful.

I really love you, kiddo. You remind me soooo much of my beloved niece. She is your age. Yes, she loves me, too. Tweet
