thx for the encouragement

She doesn't very often, anyway.

that you know, anyway

The one good thing I find about Canada having a lower drinking age is that it helps to introduce alcohol imo. In Canada, people start experimenting between 17-18, maybe having the odd drink and then when they are 19 and university.

Its part of the lifestyle but not overwhelming.

I'm just going to drop this one.


Edit, re Mac's comment: I think it's well established that our stupidly high drinking age makes it hard for people to develop reasonable, healthy attitudes toward alcohol.

I was actually suprised you chimed in at all.

hey mc, tell us the story from when u wanted to motorboat the hairdresser's sister's boobs.

Yeah, that was dumb.

I remember when we were changing our drinking age from a hodgepdge of different ages (usually 18 or 19) to 21 everywhere, and thinking that it was bad but at least it would swing back some day. But it hasn't, and shows no signs of starting to.

**** MADD.

I turned 18 in the US

Depressing as hell

u should have stayedddd

but i didnt wannnnnna

Its not that interesting but I was almost forgetting about her. But she's still on my mind, I'm probably going to be going for alot of haircuts this winter.

I forgot you were Euro

She should have turned 18 where she could drink to celebrate, then come here. And stayed.

would have been on the wrong coast (yeah, i know you're not on a coast, but it'd have been the wrong one dammit!)

still an improvement over wrong continent imo

I've got a story for you Andy. We got our first written warning last week. We live in an apartment building with about 50 units, its 3 floors high on 2 wings, L shaped. We get along pretty good with the Super and chat with him all the time.

We've had noise complaints before and he's just asked us to keep it down, very polite and we complied. Well last week MrsButtons wanted to drink some Hurricanes and went a little overboard, combine that with the cold that he had and at around midnight or something, he had to vomit.

Well he didn't have time to make it to the bathroom, so he just vomitted out the window (we are on the 2nd floor). It must have landed on the 1st floor window cuz the Super was out cleaning it the next day and we got a written warning.

Yeah, wrong parts of the country can be worked around. When I fell in love with my guy he lived in Pittsburgh. But we could drive to visit. It's harder when you're overseas, but definitely worth the effort based on my experience.

I used to live on that coast.

It was a while ago, though; you were, what, seven or so.


I have a hard time believing this.

Im unfamiliar with written warnings but the story is cool.

How do warnings work?

Like this, imo:

After we get 2, the third event, they can start the process to evict us.

That was a lovely story, mac.

+1

but didnt want to comment on it

It just slipped my mind for a minute. I wouldn't have asked if she drank, if I remembered she was Euro, it is alot more common to drink openly there at that age compared to the US.

VR's lolcat above is going to be underappreciated, by I really like it.
