This is murder you people are committing. This is why I'm straight-edge.
Currently hooked on Meg's Cozy Tea Time, Meg Tilly's YouTube Account.
I don't think I've drunk any booze since New Year's Eve. If I play this game, I'll probably get alcohol poisoning. Especially with the COLLATERAL BEAUTY one. Still, thanks for this fun write-up and its delightful dose of holiday merriment.
My brother have to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas for an english homework and I want to watch it so bad because I love the production design and the performance of Jim Carrey is one of my favorites of him.
I don't have any idea for a rule...A drink every time a christmas tree appear in scene?...I don't know, I don't drink much anyway.
I'll stick to water and NIN.
Thank you for sharing, your article is very good.
Watching movies is one of my favorite leisure activities. But alcohol is definitely not my thing. There are people in my family with addiction, which means that I am at risk and more vulnerable. This is also why I don't gamble. I'm scared that I won't be able to cope.
I understand you very much. I started sports betting because I urgently needed money. Perhaps, if not for this need, I wouldn't have taken the risk. Now I often bet on sports in my free time from work. So, today I have planned to watch braille legacy and online betting. I think it’s great when you can choose cool leisure activities that are also useful.
