**elelle** asked what brought me to Nashvegas. Well, I came here from Knoxville to live in a recovery house (aka _halfway house_) where I am now the manager:)! Left Knoxpatch just for a change of scenery: getting a fresh start and all.

When sorting out the ways,  
and means of course, can’t forget them,  
what’s the method that pays,  
the most by source, and also when?

ouch that was bad.

Avoid those classified ads  
That promote any get-rich-quick fads  
Like _[easymoney.com](http://easymoney.com)_  
And _Sell Herbal Bug Bomb!_  
Or you’ll lose your savings in scads.

**Monster104**  
Not questions like that.

**jazzmine**  
Yes!

Did you ever get to go on that hike to see the leaves change before your unfortunate incarceration began?

Do you hate me for not writing to you continuously like I told you I would?

The _manager_ of the recovery house? Who put _you_ in charge? 😉

So, what’s it like? We’ve all heard horror stories, see too much TV, what’s it like? As Bad? Worse? Better?

**evilbeth**  
Didn’t get to make the trip, but probably was in no condition to do so.

I don’t hate anyone.

The director. Probably because I’m an expert at all the things _not_ to do. 😉  
**Saint Zero**  
As bad as many, better than some, worse than others.  
How’s _what?_

Well, why were you gone so much longer than I thought you would be? If its none of my business, thats OK…Just wondering…

Did you make any friends or meet any interesting characters during your stay?

How was the food?

Why dontcha have a pic on the People Pages?

Are you sorry you started this thread yet 😉 ?

Oh yeah, most importantly - Boxers or briefs?

**three bunny mama**

I’ve been “free” for nearly six months. Just took a while to get my 'puter to me here in Nashville. Actually, I’ve checked in on you guys a couple of times in the interim.

Yes. Details later.

Bland but filling. I’ve had worse.

Working on it.

No, but I gotta get to bed soon!

Briefs 90% of the time. On the hottest summer days-- neither.

What’s the largest object that will fit in your anus?

Hey, you said “anything.” 😉

OK, now for a really direct one?

How’s the drinking problem now?

It’s good to see you back in good spirit, Hipster. If you’ll forgive me the “spirit” pun - it was out before I knew it. 😉

**Cervaise**  
I cannot honestly answer that, as I am sure that my anus has never contained the largest object it _possibly_ can. Then again, how sure can I be? There were a lot of blackouts over the years…

**Coldfire**  
Not a drop in 7 months. The “problem” is alcoholism and I will always have that disease whether or not I ever drink again. The difference is that I treat it now. It’s kinda like diabetes. If you have it, you have it forever…but you can live a reasonably healthy life if you eat right and take your insulin. I go to AA meetings almost daily and I live in and manage a recovery house, so my life is pretty well immersed in the program. I feel better than I have in a long, long time. 🙂

Can I have a link, or a reason as to why this thread was started? From what I can tell, you were in some kind of holding for a period of time and at some point have been in Nashville and/or Las Vegas, is this correct?

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my husband ( **Cervaise** ).

The things that come out of his head are amazing, and often amusing. But sometimes, he’s just too much.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled doping.
