This thread just has me howling to myself. Please don't be alarmed. It's not a full moon.

Seriously, for a moment... I quit drinking alcohol eight weeks and two and a half days ago (yes I'm keeping track.) Which means I have just surpassed my previous record for abstinence. No 12-step, no group (except for another e-mail list which I mentioned it on), no counselling although I'm thinking about going for some. Just decided to take my own advice. Took up being sanctimonious instead. Then I wandered innocently into the Mudcat cause I was looking for the DT (not the DT's which I haven't got since I stopped indulging them) looking for some filthy kinky pun-ridden folksong I expect, but that was so many logins ago I really can't remember.

Now I spend half my days punching a keyboard, slurping cold coffee or that awful no-buzz-beer, and eating crackers or potato chips, only getting up to search for a songbook.

But I'm not addicted...its just a habit. I can check out any time...hey is that a new thread? Are there any new postings on "thread x?" Hey I know that song--wait it's in one of these books here. Somewhere. Wait, I know it's here. Hey, kids? Make some lunch for yourselves, would ya? I gotta refresh the 'Cat...
