Just watched The 2000's and thought it was really good. Hadn't heard anything about it.

Perhaps. If she didn't have a clear agenda of being a part of his fame. I'm on the she's a cunt team. And annoying as all hell. Cute as hell too, though.

All of the above

Really? I came away thinking the opposite. The Darwin thing, not the documentary being well done. The documentary was incredible.

I stopped in Austin to see some friends in 2001 on my way to move out to California. I'd never been so my buddy took me down to 6th the first night. We stumbled into Joe's Generic and watched GCJ, 17 years old and mostly unknown. That kid absolutely floored me. That was the kind of Austin that everyone talked about and you could just tell he was special. I said fuck California and ended up in Austin for 14 years, partly because that's one of the first things I saw. Where else are you gonna stumble into a bar like Joe's Generic, piss out back and then listen to a GCJ for a couple hours with his high school friends cheering him on at 1 in the morning on a Wednesday?

I agree he's under the radar. He's great. I doubt this lasts longer than this season or maybe 2. At least House of Lies got 5? Maybe it's a Seth Rogen thing here. Depending on how much he had to do with it, he can fuck up anything.

I just watched the first 5 or 6, whatever it is now. I'm a Cheadle fan and this show seems to have all the parts to be pretty good, but it's just not. I don't hate it and I'll continue watching, but it's really lacking chemistry or writing or something. I'm not good at putting my finger on that stuff. Seems like every joke is so unoriginal and every part that is supposed to be serious isn't delivered well at all. Also had no idea that the lambo limo was a real thing. That's fucking dumb. But any half decent show about some high flying coke heads gets my attention, especially in a world that's so foreign to me.

Amazon. But yeah, that dude is a real fuckstick. I liked it.

I liked that one, too. Went through it pretty quick.

Sweet jesus I never saw that. She gives that dog a good examination too before she serves it up. She's got upper management written all over her.

Mind if I ask where? I love Hamilton watches.

Haha, shit. Shows how much my concept of time was off when I was drinking. I still read this thread everyday when I was drinking because I knew I needed help. I remember your post perfectly when you reached a year and I also remember you posting when you quit, it just seemed to me like that post was 15 or 16 months ago. Bear, got ya. The reason I asked is because I gave up cigarettes when I stopped drinking and didn't use anything, but I still get strong cravings everyday.

How do you figure you were 100% nicotine free still chewing nicotine gum and lozenges? Or am I not reading that correctly?

You still getting those? IIRC, you're well over a year now, right? I'm only about 10 months, but mine have tapered off quite a bit. Still every now and then, but it was a few times a week for a while.

I have both and you're right. At least as far as keeping ice. I've left both in my car in the Louisiana summer and the Hydroflask gets a few more hours of kept ice than the Yeti. They're both pretty fucking impressive though when you're talking about a cup.

Same thing happened to me when I accidentally drank some mimosa. Small drink and felt it hard and immediate.

I must be a real dick for not having any emotional response at all to this doc. And I get choked up easily.

Just terrific

That's funny. My 8 pound loss put me at 207 this morning, too. I was down to 203 after the first week, so I'm assuming (hoping) the water weight went, came back and now I'll be more consistent and don't hit a wall like you did. I really should put away the scale for a couple weeks because I'm on it too much and I know that's not a good measuring stick. I took pictures week 1,2 and 3 and can see the difference in body composition. I wish I would have started off measuring, but I have a pair of jeans laid out that fit when I was at a decent weight for me, and I try those on every few days to see if there's a difference and even though they don't fit well, I can get them on without too much trouble.

Today is 3 weeks into trying keto. I'm down about 8 pounds, which I'm more than happy with. I wasn't trying to lose 20 in a month. I've never really dieted and was skeptical of the keto thing because it seems extreme, but after reading about it a bunch, and taking all the internet testimonials with a large grain of salt, I wanted to give it a shot. Besides the weight loss, I feel great. Like really good physically. Aches and pains from some stuff that's been bothering me for 6 months are starting to go away and I'm able to exercise pretty hard again. The carb cravings are going away. I was watching a show this morning on breakfast places serving up the kind of stuff that would normally make me jiz my drawers and it really didn't look all that good. The sugar cravings are still high, but they come and go pretty quick. I don't see any reason to give it up now. I'd probably keep doing it even if I wasn't losing weight because I feel so good.

Is alcohol in food something a lot of alkies are careful about? I had never thought about that and looked it up and did see people talking about how they avoid it. I switched mouthwash to non-alcohol and thought that might be a little extreme, but why chance it? I also won't drink N/A beer or whatever because I'm almost sure that would send me to bad places, but food wasn't something on my radar until now. I don't go to meetings, so you drunks are the only ones I hear about this stuff from. Day 292 for me. And really, I'm just now starting to feel good. But part of that was other health stuff that wasn't serious or alcohol related, just pain in the ass nagging injuries type stuff. This has been the longest 292 days I could imagine, but I say that in a really good way. Not long because I've been miserable from not being able to drink, but long from being able to embrace every minute and slow down to take everything in. It wasn't some sort of meditation or state of mind I was trying to achieve, it just happened organically after month or 2 of sobriety. Before, 6 weeks would go by like it was a weekend, because it basically was. A really shitty, awful, long weekend, over and over, that wouldn't end even though somewhere inside of me I wanted it to be a Monday morning of different and new life. And damn, it feels good that that new week finally started and continues.

I'm not calling him out because he's not able to hike the whole thing. I probably couldn't do 50 miles in a week right now. I'm calling him out because he's so far beyond full of shit about everything, and he's a fat, lazy, fuck stick and he sure as fuck didn't do 500 miles. Nothing wrong with that, but don't act like you're some badass. He needs to stick to telling stories in British pubs and act like he was born there and not fucking Iowa.

That piece of shit didn't hike fuck all.

Fuck yes. I don't even know who the actor is.
