I’d say since he’s fresh out of rehab comply with the request. He’s likely having an extremely difficult time, and in turn so is his wife and family. If you can make a small sacrifice this year to help them out, I don’t see why you wouldn’t do it. Unless you think drinking wine at Thanksgiving is more important than helping out (even in a small way) a guy struggling to keep his life together.
Drink all you want after he leaves.
If she asks you to do it again next year, tell them to get pumped.
Yeah. Eff all that. Vegetarianism is an abomination against nature and should not be encouraged/enabled.In a weird way, the drinking thing is kind of why vegetarian are ******, ****** friends. You have to order a f***ing veggie pizza for get togethers that will have one slice eaten, plan a separate entree that no one wants, etc. just because of their ****** self-loathing nonsense.
Imposing idiosyncratic demands on social gatherings is bush league ********, imo. That said, if you can help your friend get and stay clean -- DO IT. But you aren't helping if you have to permanently nerf the world.
Also, f*** vegetarians.
Wayney, if you must,I’d recommend:One of my in-laws recently had to go to rehab for alcohol abuse. Good dude, means well, and I really think he's going to get it back together. That said - his wife asked if we can not have alcohol at Thanksgiving this year. You've seen my posts - my thing is picking good wines to go with the bird (well, having the sommelier pick good wines to go with the bird, but you get the idea). I'm cool with not having the heavy stuff around or even beers before and after the meal. But is it a dick move to just put this guy at the kid's table in the other room and serve wine with dinner where he can't see it?
First thought was this is what PTI looks like after a 200 mile run.
UK led at halftime. Reminded me of the Georgetown game.Remember Tubby’s final year, when we played a similar style to these teams who keep it close with us, and we went to Maui and got run out of the gym by a Memphis team? So much so that people specifically pointed to that game to prove The game had passed Tubby?
The guy who coached that Memphis team is the same guy as our current coach. Crazy huh?
Man, I was giving Dutchman Hooters grief, but Lexington Hooters might be the worst scenerary of all time. Sad.
I’m going to ask my sommelier what pairs with Stovetop stuffing
And why don't we schedule as many of them as possible in the years to come?This is seriously the worst team we’ve ever played. What godforsaken 7 teams have they beaten?
