I don't know what you're trying at here but I'm not biting. You had your chance. Besides, I can't do casual with Caleb. He deserves better. I think @84Mags would agree. Shame on you.
I've never actually thought a liquor store should be open at 8am. But if I did, that's when I would wonder lol. I have a whiskey cabinet some would be jealous of, yet I never drink. Ying to @kbois yang.
I think there is always an ebb and flow in situations like this. I think Loren can have moments of strength, where it doesn't get him down...followed by moments of weakness where he questions everything. I believe they can and will co-exist, no matter how much therapy you have.
4:30am - 5am is my normal wake up hour. Just ask @kbois. We live in on opposite coasts but go to bed and wake up at the same times lol. I haven't set an alarm in years.
