BOOZE HISTORY UPDATE

December 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Boozer history is pretty straight forward, from China, to Egypt, to now. This link comes from homewetbar.com, which sounds pro-booze. Another link showing the same history comes from drugfreeworld.com, which doesn’t sound pro-booze. We all have a history of booze and booze culture as a participant, or witness. It’s not always pretty, but there are […]

SLOVEMBER OR GATEWAY COUNSELING?

November 1, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Slovember is for everyone who failed Sober October. Also for those planning a Drunk December, a Jacked Up January, and Fall Down February. If you’re a compulsive boozer, or stand-up stoner, slow down. No one his saying, “STOP YOUR STUPID SHIT.” At least not out loud. Who needs a nice long Slovember?

LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO MAKE NOW

September 25, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Lifestyle changes? Either you make them or they’re made for you. This picture shows a flat bench with 225 lbs on the rack. You won’t take this off the rack if you neglected to protect your shoulders with lots of warming up. What about surgically repaired joints, like the shoulder?

RISK MANAGEMENT FOR MARRIAGE

Does risk management apply to marriage? Only if you’re married. Single people have other risks to mitigate. So what are the risks for married people? The biggest risk is in not apologizing often enough. For example:

July 31, 2023 by David Gillaspie

MARRIAGE TRAP, STARRING BEN AFFLECK

December 12, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Does a ‘marriage trap’ sound different than a marriage between two movie stars? Edward Hopper painted what looks like a marriage trap. A couple in a room ignoring each other, trying to find anything to do besides talk. He reads bad news, she taps a sad note. Looks like a trap to me. But, what’s […]
