I decided to quit drinking last Monday. Fell off the wagon Saturday but not excessively. Strict abstinence every day since, and I feel pretty good. I’m a little worried about this weekend, but I think I’ll be okay. Interesting journey. #RecoveryPosse

@theashrb I am barely middle class, but when I was a server I wasn’t even close. I will skip a drink, choose cheaply, or literally skip a meal before I take up a server’s time and table without tipping. The tip is part of the cost of the meal.

@AnxiousPenman @LizerReal I believe this is true. I know people who support open carry, and they tend to hold the belief that society is best held up by intimidation and control. And they typically see themselves as agents of that control.
