The 26 lane highway in the article I posted above is actually IH-10, but it's called the Katy Freeway in Houston. If you drive 200 miles to the west, it's the McDermott Freeway. So when you tell me that 1350 miles later, it's got a new set of names, I shouldn't be pissed off, right? No, it's fine, to compensate, we'll build plenty of roads that aren't anywhere near contiguous, but have the same name.

Season's greetings, hopefully your mother and grandmother didn't try to diagnose you with a mental illness on Christmas morning. Don't worry though, they managed to make it a worse time for my girlfriend than me. We've already booked a cruise during Christmas of 2017, so fucking done with my mom. Sorry dad, if you're reading this, you fuckin' rock.

Well, mother-in-law is hopped up on Oxy from her shoulder surgery and wife and daughter have a bad case of the flu, but otherwise we be jammin'.

As my ex-girlfriend's dad (the psychiatrist) pointed out: anxiety and depression are often psychologically appropriate responses to stressors. Medication may ameliorate the symptoms but the treatment is to remove the stressors, not change the patient.

Don't let the cruise be your next vacation. Get a weekend away somewhere fun and cheap.
