I am halfway through a bottle of Patron

[Horse with no Name]

For a woman with daughters and granddaughters it seems that is the only recourse.
I don't know what I will do tomorrow but for today...I do believe I will drink.

[murielm99]

1. I have been drinking way too much

since that orange asshole was installed. I know it is not the answer, but I understand.

Do everything else we need to do as well. Stay sober and GOTV.

[Horse with no Name]

3. I know.

but not today.

[DesertRat]

2. "I don't know what I will do tomorrow"

My plans for tomorrow are to join with a group of our district Dems and canvass for our Democratic candidates. Early voting here starts next week!

Getting involved in GOTV efforts are energizing and uplift my spirit.

5. I grew up as a desert rat

I would love to see Arizona go blue again because I remember when it was.
Thanks for all you do.

[DesertRat]

7. Hey there!

I would love to see that happen too. Our cities are mostly blue but unfortunately the 'burbs and rural areas are very red.

[Horse with no Name]

11. I've toyed for years with moving back

Flagstaff and Tucson are appealing.
But my feeling is that AZ is even redder than Texas. That surprises me.
As a child, I drew a picture that Governor Raul Castro framed and put in his office.
I remember that being a big deal.
I remember protesting the Palo Verde Nuclear plant as a 10 year old and I remember celebrating Cesar Chavez and his strikes in California.
That was my childhood.
I am trying to figure out where we got where we are now.
A former classmate is a republican representative there when she was one of the biggest partiers in High School and had no room on the moral highway.
It feels like life is upside down.

[DesertRat]

13. City of Phoenix is blue too

[Horse with no Name]

18. Somehow I didn't know that. My Mom lives in Sun City

She loves being out there but hates the politics.

[DesertRat]

22. Oh yes, Sun City and that whole area is mostly red

But, Sun City does have a Dems Club. Your Mom might like to get involved and meet other like-minded people. They meet at a Starbucks every Monday.

23. I will let her know. Thanks.

[CTyankee]

4. Yeah. I'm starting my second glass of Chardonnay.

My tremor in my hands is significantly worse. I can't concentrate. Hubby offered to make dinner and he told me that he was so appreciative to have a loving wife. I hugged him bigly for that.

OK. I've calmed down. Just talked to a good friend who was sorry for me, for the country, for everyone who will suffer as a result of Kavenaugh.

Gotta think that we'll all get through this. Together. On DU and elsewhere...

Stay strong, dear. You are valued and loved.

6. I'm going to encourage my granddaughters to leave this country when they get of age

I'm too old but they have their entire lives ahead of them. I want them to have the promise of equality that has always been so elusive.
Thanks for the kind words.

8. Stop before you get "below the label". That's what a bunch of buddies and I call

max drunk! One night one of them called me up to bullshit and he was hammered! I ended up asking him how much he had to drink? There was a pause, him holding the bottle up to study it, then he said, "well, I'm below the label!" It doesn't work the same with all brands, but for most, that would be a good indication of being really wasted!

9. I wish Pot was legal in my state.

What is "Patron"?

[Horse with no Name]

12. It is Tequila. I got the good stuff just for today. n/t

[mysteryowl]

17. Ah..Okay.

I'm not a drinker. I am not apposed to being altered, I just don't like how my body feels with alcohol.

Enjoy being altered!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

28. It is legal in mine, but I don't do it because it really messes me up

I trip on that. Makes me feel out of control. I do better with alcohol. I know quite a few potheads though. Maine is teeming with them.

[Sherman A1]

10. Tomorrow

I will go to a local historical preservation event.

[In_The_Wind]

15. Good for you.

[Takket]

14. finish it off for me. Slante!

[octoberlib]

16. I'm on my first glass of rose. I thought about having a martini and maybe I will later.

[Horse with no Name]

20. Cheers!

[hibbing]

19. Damn, be careful!

I only did tequila in quantity once and I don't remember much. Had to call the people I was with the day after to make sure I didn't do anything too obnoxious. I did wake up with a crumbled unsmoked cigarette in my pocket and I don't even smoke!

Peace

[Horse with no Name]

21. It is like assault after assault after assault

this is really hard.

[LuvLoogie]

24. I like Herradura Silver...

As a father with two daughters,13 and 10, I hope we can right this ship before they have to deal with trump's toxic spill.

My mother passed August 31st. I wish that I could mourn in peace, but this bigot grifter and the footmen in congress will not stop inflicting the country with their festering shit souls.

I am of Mexican nationality, and I will be making an ofrenda for Day of the Dead. My father, who passed three and a half years ago, will be invited to the ofrenda as well.

Then, I will vote--and no longer suffer any fools. I have a family to protect and the light of my mother's love to share.

[Horse with no Name]

25. I am so sorry for the passing of your Mom

My Mom has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. My father has been gone many years.
I don't think that enough attention is given to how traumatic it is to lose your parents in this world.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

26. Not drinking tonight since I'm the driver

Going to play some Cards Against Humanity. That's always a good time. I got to drink last night, so I'm all set with that anyhow. Hope you have a good time too.

[Downtown Hound]

27. I by and large gave up alcohol, not because I have a problem, but because

I like weed so much better, and I live in California!

Been stoned a lot lately. Advantages of living in a blue state, even one as expensive as here. We have much better feel good, natural medicines available to us.

[saidsimplesimon]

29. I have a hangover

today.

[Blue_true]

30. Try telling anyone that is progressive that you know to vote. That is how change happens. nt

[Horse with no Name]

31. we are all at the ready

hopefully the russians won't take away our vote.

[TexasBushwhacker]

32. I feel the same way

I really need to take better care of myself, but for today I getting shitfaced. The diet, exercise and meditation will start tomorrow. Right now, I heartbroken. Tomorrow I'll be PISSED.
