On a serious note, I've taken Klonopin in the past, maybe ten or twelve years ago, and when it was discontinued the dose was tapered over a period of about a month. I didn't notice any major withdrawal symptoms. Just a bit of insomnia and irritability. Peterson must have been taking massive doses of Xanax (similar to Klonopin but short-acting), to wind up in some sketchy Russian rehab clinic.

Go drink a Celsius and be done with it. There are far worse addictions. I think my doctor has me hooked on benzodiazepines, and I'm not the least bit concerned. Which reminds me, it's time for my evening dose of Klonopin. I hope I don't end up like Jordan Peterson.

I always imagine it's like being given propofol and fentanyl during a medical procedure. One moment you're lucid and talking, and the next you're in The Void. It happens within seconds. Of course it's drug-induced, but after the procedure you experience an eerie "lost time" feeling. It's weird.

Dennis Farina He used to have a weekend house in the next town over, and all the locals said he was an asshole.

Despite the high heat and humidity, I took a walk around a pond at the local park this afternoon. There's a sidewalk around it that forms a one mile loop. I saw ducks and geese, as well as great blue herons. There's also a pavilion under which barn swallows nest. Even though I live on the edge of town, I'm no longer living "in the country", so this is always a nice area to go for a walk. This place is frequented mostly by dog walkers and joggers. Everyone walking a dog appeared to be enjoying themselves, and were quite friendly, but all of the joggers looked absolutely miserable. I passed one woman twice, saying hello with each pass, and she said nothing in return. Didn't even look at me. She had a very determined look on her face, though.

Mine too!

It made things a lot easier when all of the anniversaries were listed at the bottom of the homepage. I miss that feature.

He's picky when it comes to cat food as well, but that's my fault. He's just spoiled.

Best Wishes!

We never had problems like this when I was a kid. We lived in the boonies and my father always had a huge hole dug out back next to the field. He threw all manner of debris into that pit. When it was full he would cover it up and dig a new one! I just hope the people who live there now don't have a garden on that spot.

Fend for yourself.

My cat will eat Havarti cheese but not Colby.

They were already out of cinnamon rolls at Panera when I got there this morning. I also had to wait for them to make more light roast coffee. The horror.

Tesseract is okay.

Qing Xu Okay, she's a Chinese actress and I've never heard of her, but Q is a hard letter and I'm trying not to do repeats in this thread.

I'm still hearing the occasional barrage of really loud fireworks in the evening. I'm on the edge of town, so fields and farms are less than half a mile away. It could be they're outside the city limits and exempt from local ordinances, but I suspect it's more likely nobody complains and nobody cares. I hope they run out of ammo soon.

Yes, that's the term she used. I was sitting under a tree in her front yard when it started to rain and that's basically what she said!

I'm eating double dark chocolate gelato and waiting for the Klonopin to kick in. I'll be in bed in half an hour.

Back in the day, I remember she would always log out around the same time in the late afternoon to prepare dinner before her husband got home from work. For some reason, that's been on my mind since I learned it was her birthday. I also recall a time she wandered into the spam thread and was genuinely bewildered by what was going on there. This place just isn't the same without her. R.I.P., Dear Lorraine
