You can't say "Philistine" without its appropriate preface: "heartless."
Heartless Philistine.
It's one of those words that just HAS to go with other words, like "pangs" with "guilt" and "shards" with "glass," and "peals" with "childish laughter."
If I do the hard stuff, I'm more of a bourbon guy (Knob Creek, or Maker's Mark, or Woodford Reserve), altho I can TELL a good scotch from a cheap one -- I just don't like them. Beer bloats me, and red wine gives a nicer, mellower buzz, and it just goes with the cigar real well.
OK, now i'm gonna have to fire up a Rocky after my baseball practice tonite!!
So I was talking with my DB coach and he mentioned that a WAS has phases. I asked him to elaborate, but he didn't. He did however, mention the testing phase. Does anyone out there know the WAS phases?
Mine is in the feeling sorry for myself / bitch phase.
Mine is in the I love you but I can't live with you so let's head down the road of D and if things change, which I have hope they will, we can get back together. But, let's spend all this money on L's now so we can make sure that if I want a D I only have to deal with all of this right now.

Sorry. Got off track there.
Not trying to be glib, HIH, but I think the "testing" phase starts about 10 microseconds after the bomb and lasts until you or she assumes room temperature. I think there is ALWAYS another test. If it's not a test on your patience, it's on your sanity. They will test your changes, count on it. they will test what you say and what you don't say.
Just think of it in terms of the life in general. There are always tests.

OK Pup. You talked me into it. Even though our first game got rained out tonight. I'm going to make believe it hadn't and fire one up too. Think there's a nice H. Upman in my box at home that is calling out to me.
BTW, I like all those Bourbons. Scotch and I have an open relationship.
Dan-o, what was that phase again? Oh wait,never mind. I'm familiar with it
peace out!

I guess I'm going to smoke the last cigar in the box tonight too. Hopefully my order from CI comes soon. Spent a bunch of money I didn't have to get them. Maybe that will make them taste even better!
I guess I'm going to drink some Jack too while I watch the football game. First night on my own in a while, so might as well make good use of it!
I love long islands. W and I used to make GREAT ones at home. Now there's another good idea. Unfortunately, I can't afford all the different bottles at the moment. Will have to stick with my buddy jack daniels.
