Thanks for shooting us an update. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:11:08 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4409 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4408 Whoops. I didn't see this. I am sorry to have caused concern and appreciate the thoughts. I feel happier every day now, but I tend to forget exactly how miserable I was. Good to be reminded that, for me, drugs and alcohol are BAD. I'm so grateful to still be alive! It would be terrible to miss this summer. sexretary@idkfa.com (sexretary) Mercy General Wed, 27 Jun 2012 18:08:54 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4408 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4314 It always gives one pause to say to another, "I'm glad the bleeding stopped." However, in this case, I can say it in no uncertain terms. Good work, and keep with it. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:22:40 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4314 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4313 Quitting smoking has been awesome. In February I was smoking a pack a day, had a nasty little dry cough, and hadn't walked or run in ages. The first thing that happened was that my lungs produced an astonishing amount of mucus. The blood eventually disappeared from it! (That was probably from snorting drugs, though.) And now I have normal mucus, no cough, and I can run up all the stairs. Also, I feel RICH. A pack of cigarettes and a sixer of beer a day was almost $20! Now I have $20 that I can spend on anything! YAAAAAAYYYY!!! sexretary@idkfa.com (sexretary) Mercy General Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:39:17 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4313 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4312 Progress thus far: 1. So far, so good. 2. Check! Antidepressants and naltrexone FTW. 3. Haven't put a pill up my nose, eaten an unprescribed pill, or had more than one drink in at least 2 months--no booze at all for a month. Sobriety is confusing. 4. Shee-yit, I don't even need it every week. 5. Ugh, the classes are too expensive. And I am so lazy. 6. Holy shit, I haven't smoked a cigarette in 54 days! Almost party time. Juice/kombucha party, I guess; champagne is for those who can handle their liquor. sexretary@idkfa.com (sexretary) Mercy General Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:32:40 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4312 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=4032 How are the baby pictures coming along?

But if that is not the case, and you are looking to the idkfa community for support, don't mistake any lack of response for a lack of care for your well-being. I know for a fact at least a dozen people saw your message, and even a number of those mentioned it directly to me. Nobody wants to see harm come to you, from yourself or otherwise.

And, your list seems to be perfectly weighted in order of priorities. That is excellent! If it were my list, i'd just hold off on #6 until 2013. Or, only after 1-5 are in order. Or, if you do a musical. THEN IT MIGHT JUST BE EASIER! Just remember: one thing at a time. And, #1>#6.

(tips anyone?) - Lose more weight. (5-10 pounds would be great.) - Do more fun reading - at least between now and August. - Learn how to cook more Persian dishes.

Lets shoot for three this year. #2 Keep both my boys alive to 2013. Might as well give myself an easy one. #3 And because I'm lazy, Remain married till 2013. I guess if anyone dies on me I'll either need to quickly and immediately remarry, or adopt another son.

His asshole son finished the series off with two books that are only worth reading so you can see how awesome Duncan Idaho and Miles Teg are. Although, thinking back on it now, perhaps I should read them again. I bet I'd have a whole new perspective on Feyd Rautha's athleticism and physical prowess. I convinced myself to stop reading them yearly when I discovered the joys of other things in life. Like booze. conrad@idkfa.com (conrad) Mercy General Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:33:55 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=3894 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=3893 "The guy in the $4,000 suit is going to hold the elevator for the guy who doesn't make that in three months.

In the best way possible, actually, but still. I had 3, and your #1 was one of mine, and we see how THAT worked out. The other two became less important as the year wore on. I'm pretty alright with this, though, and tempted to refrain from making 2012 resolutions. Is this laziness, or self-acceptance?

Drop enough weight to legit wear a skinny tie (guessing 20-25 lbs here.) Additionally, get suit tailored so it actually fits to match. Finish a book every nine days. Doesn't matter what book, just a book every nine days. In concert, read the Economist every Saturday. Period. Wear a tie and slacks (suit preferable) to work once a week. Curtail cursing in public spaces. Pick up a few sleight of hand tricks for when small talk inevitably fails. conrad@idkfa.com (conrad) Mercy General Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:35:24 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=3878 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3875&msg_id=3877 I'll go for: Lose 25lbs (the diet must start again) Buy new clothing that isn't originally intended for a costume.

Meeting a nice lady would be pretty awesome, but considering that's not entirely in my hands (damn you, fate!), it can't very well be a resolution.
