    Sounds like it, for the last few years anyway. Definitely not that way when I knew her. Not really much of a drinker then. A beer or wine or two on a weekend night and off to bed. It's never too late for a disease like that to manifest and take control, though. Extremely sad.

      IMO, there are two or three distinct manifestations of the behavior. The first one starts young, is ferocious from the beginning, and is clearly genetic. The second begins as regular but otherwise moderate/average drinking, and eventually progresses due to life events/environmental factors. That flavor is a "learned" disorder. The third version basically combines the previous two into periodic rip-roaring benders.

        The first stage is riproaring. The second is maturity, leading to "I know what this is, so I can control it." The third is, "Well, that control thing? Nope, I can't control it." Outside factors could "help" that progression along, of course. Tragedy usually the leading cause.
        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Either way, we are banished from our patios (officially) until our section of apts are done. Yay, PITA (although it's a good thing they are doing upkeep).

          Should be interesting. At least I'm towards the beginning of the project.
          I know I'm days behind on this, but any rumors of your complex being sold? When my wife and I were apartment dwellers, both times they "spruced up" the place by slapping a coat of paint on it and changing the pool furniture, the complex was sold to another management company.

                They have replaced upper management in the past year or two, but the company remains the same. These new managers are more hands-on. They've been more communicative, etc, with the residents, which is nice. The old management wasn't bad, these new ones are just better.

                  Here in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand. Supposed to be about 107 here. And some company having a meeting here at the hotel has taken over the entire pool area today with the exception of the Lazy River. I think that's truly irresponsible of the hotel to allow for that. They have, like, seven pools here. Plus their Wet Republic pool/bar/club area. Take that and maybe one or two others. Not all of them. I am assuming that it's not an all day thing. At least I hope it's not.

                    Good Afternoon Lodge!
                    Tood my walk this morning and now trying to get back on track. My friends are still trying to get back to St Croix. They had a connexn in LaGuardia that took off almost 3 hours late because the 'pilot got stuck in traffic'. They were missed the connecting in Miami and now can't get out of Miami for 2 days. Totally ridiculous and it isn't even Spirit

                        Anchorage is absolutely covered in wildfire smoke right now. Giant wildfire to the north, giant wildfire to the south.

                        Hooray.

                          Nothing on the news about how the world is burning. It always amazes me they don't think that is news worthy.

                              MPR News has been talking about the Alaskan heatwave. I must've missed the part about the wildfires.
