Are you implying that the wine came in a box?

I think Novice is right.

You know what's better than wine?  Spelling, capitalization and punctuation.

Get fucked, sir.

Was that polite enough for you? You can too help it, by the way. It's called education. You should try it sometime.

Chill out, Captain Kangaroo; I'm only teasing.  I wouldn't want to upset you and make your posts even harder to decipher.

  That's true, but this:

  more than makes up for it. You have all the letters, numbers, and symbols all on separate buttons for your convienience; a shift key to expand, even, the number of symbols, etc you can use; apart from online dictionaries there seems to be a spellchecker built in to just about everything nowadays - not to mention the several years of education I'm assuming you've apparently squandered,  yet you STILL whine that with spelling and grammar; you "can't help it". You realize that your typed word is all anyone has to judge you by online; and not even attempting to communicate clearly (as you have demonstrated) is as much an insult to people who come to read these posts as someone who looks you in the eye when you ask a question and totally ignores you and gives no response at all. If you cannot understand that premise to begin with and feel you 'can't help it'; it would behoove you to find another forum in which the regulars don't take as much pride and feel a sense of belonging so that you may continue to 'not help yourself' and babble on in your pidgin english unmolested.

I hate getting whine for Christmas, it goes against my non-religious beliefs. Whine seems to be what people like to do at Christmas though, so I'm often stuck with it. I try to finish the whine as quickly as possible. When I'm through with the whine I like to discard of the whiner through my front door.

Does that make me a whine-a-holic?

As for the rest of the thread...

I would suggest slowing down.
Type slower.
Read it over.
Adjust errors.
Read it again.
Adjust errors.
Read it a third time.
Contemplate all possible reactions to the post.
Stare at the post button like it was an execution axe.
Adjust the post.
Read it over.
Adjust errors.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Until you're 100% certain you can take that beating. Then click "post".
It takes me an average of 15 minutes to make a single post.
No one said you weren't smart or clever. Way to pull something out of thin air.
 
So far, I can read your posts without getting a headache. Which is more than I can say for some. That was a complement. I don't get closer to complements than that, they physically hurt me. To feel better, stare at my avatar.

Oh great fun.  I love these threads.  |>

It's simple syllogism, Captain.



If my posts are hard to read, then the people here will not want to read them.
If the people here do not want to read my posts, then they will not read them.
If the people here do not read my posts, then I have no reason to be here.

THEREFORE (where's the three little dots key on this keyboard?)
If my posts are hard to read, then I have no reason to be here.

You remember syllogism from 10th grade, right?  Conditional statements, P and Q, all that?  (Please don't tell me that not remembering math is also something you can't help.)

As for your cardboard, of course it's possible to cut yourself on cardboard.  It's really sharp when you cut it with something sharp.

As for your wine, drinking three bottles of wine in a week, in no way, makes you an alcoholic.  Now, if you drank them by yourself, in secret, made excuses to drink each glass, and wrecked your life and the lives of others around you in the process of drinking it....then yes, you should probably get some help.

what you think?

Your friend might be right - you may have the beginning signs of alcoholism. Have you ever thought about doing sexual things with other guys while drinking? Having homosexual urges while drinking is one of the tell-tale signs of being an alcoholic and usually starts at a fairly young age, typically around 16 years of age, if I remember correctly from my first year of medical school.

You may want to consult a pediatrician.

And he's gone.

Hopefully he took my medical advice and sought out the help of a pediatrician. I'd hate to read about this fellow drinking himself to death one of these days.
