I wouldn't say most, from my experience & interactions with the communities -
- most have given up on getting help, maybe, but that should never be the 
case -- the help needs to be available to any who seek it.

The Sallies do provide that help & I saupport tyhem for it.  They've helped
friends of mine get sober & off the streets peremanently.

Right, a 2 year old & a 10yo & he asked if they were twins; she berated him
saying he should be able to tell they weren't at 10 & 2.  He meekly replied,
"Yes, Maam, but it seemed far more likely than anyone shagging you twice!"

Yup, home of the Gators. I find it's too sugary, so I prefer a Budweiser
"Probibition Beer" (no alcohol; get it? *L*); plenty of elecvtrolytes & 
fluds, but none of that nasty white sugar(or, worse, high fructose corn 
syrup)

Sounds like a lot of uber rich! :( It's been years since I've seen the
