Drunk Post

Stay strong.

Don't take their poison.

I love you, dear one.

Be yourself, always :-)

How do you think this is all going to play out?

We are living in some trying times.

Relationships don't always last a lifetime. Sometimes relationships are just moments, or a season, and now it's unfortunate that people will leave our relationships by dying.

Cherish the good things.

Though you are drinking alone tonight, know that you have many kindred spirits here on GLP. You are not alone.

I think it will get worse before it gets better. 2022 will be a shit-show. By 2023, a "new normal" will have settled into place, and society in general will have shifted expectations. Every generation has some sort of major shift in perspective. The Covid pandemic is ours.

Thank you.

How did I miss this drinking thread?

I can't drink but I love to hear about what you guys are having and how plastered you all get.

Great post. And it is far from dribble.

Sleeping with me and buying be beer every night sounds like a good idea .

Sending hugs and good vibes- you are not alone. And sometimes we need an escape, and that’s okay. Hold the line

OP, you’d be fortunate to find even one true friend during your lifetime; most people are incapable of true friendship. Insofar as is possible, be at peace with yourself and realize that, while external companionship can be wonderful, it’s rarely a soul match; usually, it’s much shallower than that, and contains the seeds of its own destruction. Leo Buscaglia wrote, “Until we can love ourselves without egotism, it’s impossible to love others without selfishness”; given that most people are both egotistical and selfish to a degree (although they would emphatically deny such), they are poor friendship material.

Wherever you go, you have yourself. Cultivate friendship with yourself and become your own best friend; by doing so you may well attract a true friend who is on the same path.

Oh, and don’t rely on the booze; it’s not your friend, either.

I am unvaccinated as well...

Hold strong to your values and beliefs.

I wouldn't attend that office party.

Don't drink, smoke ganja instead. The alcohol opens doors to the past's storms. Cannabis closes them.

I think OP speaks for a lot of us here.

Who has not gone through the same tribulations she writes of?

Too many of our families, friends and co workers are so brainwashed that they are ready to die and try to make us all kill ourselves as well, all in the name of fake science and propaganda.

Hi Gem, I have been a long time lurker and have always noticed your posts because you have said you live around NOLA. I was born and raised in Metairie myself, spent plenty of time in the New Orleans area, I live farther away these days. This is the first time I have seen this post and I just want to say I understand. I hope you held out and didn't get the shot, but I understand all the people who had to in order to survive. No matter where we stand with things, we still have to have compassion for these difficult times.

Most of my friends and family turned on me, said stuff like unvaccinated people deserve to die, quit contacting me, said god knows what behind my back. It was isolating and difficult to realize most of the people I held dear to me were feeble minded, unkind, and not true friends or, at the very least, I just wasn't compatible with them anymore. It was really difficult for me to accept that pretty much everyone I knew is enslaved and brainwashed by this completely broken system. In all honesty, I have just recently come to grips with that harsh reality. Luckily, my job at the time didn't enforce the jab, but Latoya didn't exactly make it easy for anyone in Orleans Parish to bypass the shot (I moved to Jefferson after my apartment was damaged by Ida last year).

I wonder if we ever crossed paths and never knew it, but I just wanted to send my love. I met my husband earlier in the year, I moved out of the city to be with him, and am now pursuing my dream job. I was just in the Quarter the other day for an event and I couldn't believe how dead it was there. I honestly don't have much hope left for New Orleans. I feel like the darkness, crime, and corruption is too much to bear nowadays, it's simply just not what it used to be.

Living in NOLA is a challenge, but it has its moments. Once upon a time, I was told they put a special concoction in the water supply there. I am inclined to believe it, as my mental, emotional, and physical health has improved tremendously since I have moved away. I experienced some scary things there, some magical things, some things I still can't explain.

I know you didn't ask, but as someone way more spiritually and self-aware than the majority of people in NOLA (you seem like you are too), I would seriously consider getting out of there while you still can. I have had quite the spiritual journey and catastrophic floods have been a huge theme in my dreams for years now. Not trying to fear monger and I don't know your situation, but that's my two cents from someone who lived there all my life and finally had a chance to gtfo.

I didn't exactly mean for this response to go this deep, but it's very cathartic for me to write all of this out. I am hesitant to post much of anything anywhere and I know all of us must be on a list somewhere at this point, it's just nice to share insights and stories with people in the same boat. Good luck and happy days to you <3

Refreshing honesty.

me thinks I'll have another glass of wine.

cheers

There are a lot more of us, (the non jabbed), than them.Probably time to get a new job if they are still pushing the jab.? The Air Force, Navy and Marines have quietly ended the jab program,

So it’s slowly ending.
