booze kills your liver weed just makes you high
Answer by Steven G
Alcohol can cause liver failure, heart problems, and if drink too much can kill you. Marijuana, or weed is a gateway drug.

Was He Worth Giving a Chance ?
Question by sweetc: Was he worth giving a chance ?
I met this guy a month ago at my son’s favorite park…He was tall dark and handsome , got sucked right in…He has the most beautiful daughter in the world and our children became instant friends….Well our first date was taking the kids out together ,then the second date was him taking me to some small dive for some drinks I was not impressed but made the most of it with too much alcohol…We injured each other and had an amazing time ,best time I had in years but he seems a little too immature…kkkkk anyway to make a long story short I deciced to dump him after a month for these reasons… 1.I stopped by at 9:30 in the evening to say hi for like 5 min ,he said give me a call when you get home,let me know you’re safe…Shouldn’t he have walked my son and I to the bus stop at the least…no he wanted to continue drinking with his friend.. 2.He made fun of my bookmarks on my computer :drug addiction, single woman moving on 3 ..He kept on calling me pysco 4. He made a joke about my son needing a sign because ” Stupid people need signs” (Jeff foxworthy) 5. the breaker was when I called him and he was drunk and he just got rude with me,repeating him self over and over not letting me get a word in..6 k no this is the deal breaker. called him on a Thursday night to find out he got off work early, and him and his friend were three sheets to the wind…No phone call,hey how are you babe no nothing….nope he wanted to have some beers with the friend…I felt forgotten about considering I did miss him…but felt like he didn’t miss me….Am I being too picky here …I mean he really is a nice guy but kind of aloof , insulting , condisending , but am I making excuses here when saying every one has their own personality traits and maybe the chivalry will come with time or maybe the drinking will slow down since he’s not single any more or maybe he will consider my feeling towards making cracks at my kid…I don’t know…Too picky?????
K this one answer I got is just right…plain right…you are supposed to be on your best behaviour….I just have a warped idea of what kind of guy I deserve….My son deserves a lot better then that , thats for damn sure….I have been single for going on four years now …I think I was just hoping I found some one great for my son and I…Some one to give us hope that we could have a wonderful extended family…But that dude was way too immature for that …Maybe he’ll take my advice and have more respect for the next girl and especially for her child…… I read the question and feel like a tool for even asking it……thanx roxy
