The revival of this site is amazing.

He was on the old Help, he called himself Rocco there. Hip hip hooray for Rockster!

How close do you relate to your ethenicity?

And really I'm immersed in the southern culture. I moved south across the Mason-Dixon line when I was about 19 or 20 and people here have a lot of pride in their southern heritage. I mean I asked girls out that said their daddy wouldn't let them date a Yankee when I was young. So I started talking slower and learned to use words like y'all and fixin' and yonder and suddenly I was everyone's best friend.

I like to hunt and drive big jacked up pick up trucks and even have a few Confederate battle flags around the house. It's a lot like an ethnicity. The food is different from mainstream and the attitude is different too. My wife fries everything, even bologna and we eat dressing not stuffing and have biscuits smothered in gravy and drink moonshine. I relate to being a rebel a lot, even though I'm a born again rebel...

Would you rather be intelligent and live a lifetime being poor or be not that academic and be wealthy for life?

Ignorance is bliss. Of course some smart person said that.

I want rich and stupid too, I've already done the smart and poor thing.

Actually Sherlock is probably right. I don't think I'd have this feeling of great self worth if I had average intelligence. My ego alone is worth millions... ha!

And really I'm not poor but I'm a long way from rich. I raised 5 children and had a stay at home wife so we weren't exactly rolling in money, though. And my parents went on month long extravagant vacations to Paris, London, Ireland, Spain, Hawaii, Bahama's, Jamaica, etc... you name it they went there and partied so I kind of feel poor. Of course I got taken along on those vacations when I was a child so I experienced it. And I can't say I've been really poor, I sure never went without food or a roof over my head. I did ride a bus for a couple of months one time, that was really slumming it.

I'm just a mutt. Mom's family were Swedish and English and my dad's family were Irish and English. I'm really not enough of anything to claim an ethnicity. All my great grandparents were born in the USA....

One of the mods who hates you with all HER guts? That kind of narrows it down nick.

Ambiguous relationships.

I'm thinking it's kind of a good thing that the new old help is so slow right now. If it was like it used to be in its prime I'm not sure I would be willing to devote all the time and energy it takes. I'm just the kind of person that's either all in or all out, and easing back in here is just what I needed.

I was looking at the Helptogo site yesterday and emerge's Thankfulness post was full of people thankful that the new site would end their Help dot com addiction... kind of funny really.

Xanax & Alcohol

I usually feel pretty good the day after taking xanax. Most people complain that they are tired and lethargic but to me it seems like I wake up and still have a buzz. It's not a good idea to overindulge if you have to work the next day.

You shouldn't still be feeling bad.. how much did you drink? Maybe it's just the alcohol, I've had alcohol poisoning before and I threw up for a day and dry heaved for a day and was sick for almost a week. Stupid St. Patrick's Day right after my 21st birthday when I was just learning to drink. Almost killed myself

Yeah I know it's really hard to find. I guess the more active the site is the farther up it will appear.
