Eggnog is great! If you leave out the cream. And the eggs. And the spices. And make something else with the liquor instead.

Is he allowed outside? It sounds like it might be pent-up energy from being indoors. Our cat sometimes starts acting that way and she gets plopped outside on the front porch. She usually comes back in a better mood. If she's meowing at the door it's a signal that she wants to go out, and rarely does she hesitate…

Proud for now. His new wife and child are probably in for an unpleasant surprise a few years down the road ...

If this were my (non-engagement) Christmas party and it got hijacked and turned into an engagement party when a bunch of diamond-emblazoned fingers showed up, I might have a similar attitude. I think she's photobombing, though; she is so totally perfect that it has to be a goof. (BTW, two seconds after the snapshot…

I can think of a number of episodes where these dresses would come quite handy to blend into the alternate universe/time travel/holodeck worlds our intrepid voyagers found themselves in. The oversized emblazonry would have to go, though.

Try a double-date with a friend? It's certainly not the same dynamic as one-on-one, but she might be able to see if there's something (like oversharing) that's a potential problem. (BTW, if you think you're oversharing, you probably are ... )

That sounds to me like a pretty unsubtle hint. If you don't just want to make a move outright, maybe ask him next time he brings it up whether he'd like to do something about it instead of talking about it.

You both love the dog, and the breakup doesn't sound like it was acrimonious: why not share custody? Just because you'll both be dating doesn't mean you both can't have a part-time dog that you share with an ex. (After all, people have to deal with dating others who share custody of their kids all the time.) Anyone…

Can you use "Discourses on Livy" as a secondary source? Arguably, "The Prince" is not fully understandable without examining it. You could get a few pages of that, as well as inspiration to fill out your primary argument.

Well my daughter has been playing the new Bioshock Infinite DLC "Burial At Sea," which she's really been waiting for so she can see what Rapture was like before the fall. It's supposedly harder than previous Bioshocks but still a lot of fun. My son has been playing Supreme Commander 2, but just bought Battlefield 4…

All very well and good, but the most important thing here is: what is that lip gloss? It looks fantastic!

I've seen hundreds of different FemSheps. Generally she ends up being designed to look pretty good, and of course she is given a great body to start off with. There is also the natural attractiveness of a strong, confident woman.

Please rest assured that putting that on the record will make you all the more attractive to many other aficionados of the pure human voice.

Um, I think you're drooling on your keyboard ...

Femshep. Not because she's good-looking and can kick my ass, but because her character is one of the best ever in gaming. It seems like the game was first designed with a female Shepard, and then the male Shepard was put in for all the little boys (of all ages) who would have issues playing as a gurrl.

How not to do it.

I'm not ignoring your point; you don't have one. You keep talking past the central issue of AA and and other methods of getting sober: they are for people who can't get over problems with alcohol any other way. Your statement that insistence on abstinence for such people is " unnecessary and counterproductive" does…

You make the unsupported blaket statement that "80% of the people who ever set foot in an AA meeting walk away with the message that there's nothing they can do to control their drinking so they might as well not even try." The point of AA is that for those who cannot control their drinking, abstinence is only way to…

Ah, so we are on a crusade are we? Anyway, your argument is a tautology: those who stopped abusing drugs and alcohol without treatment stopped using drugs and alcohol without treatment. It also is somewhat nonsensical: if alcohol is not a necessity in life, and abstinence is an effective treatment against addiction,…

Shit, I forgot to mention something other people have pointed out. See a doctor. NOW. Please. Even if you have no long-term plans to quit drinking and/or don't want to deal with AA or any other recovery program, your physical and mental symptoms are very serious and need immediate medical attention.
