I am sad for the loss of those dear to you. :c/ As a society we have a lot to learn about fundamental compassion. At the risk of seeming self-promoting, I would suggest that any who have a friend that

True... Getting drunk is not the answer.

There is a reason why children are considered vulnerable. This highlights just one of the ways in which the education system has been and continues to fail up-and-coming generations - and my resentment

Congrats on coming through unscathed. What are the benefits of not drinking water during such a fast?

With a silky smooth rope of course. Have to mitigate the rope burn on the way down. Kidding, of course. Glad that you are feeling better. Also, true about the lack of personal control thing.
