40. Can you tell country music doesn't thrill me? It's all I heard growing up.

One of the first records that I bought was Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper. My mother promptly broke it in half over her knee after I played it umpteen times one Sunday afternoon.

All those waitressing tips wasted.

Hahahaha! Memories. I really miss my mother, though. She was my best friend.

Neither of my parents supported my recreational choices at that time.

Daddy made me watch as he flushed my weed down the toilet.

I have some stories I could tell.

There isn't a tale close to those in our current psychopathic government, though.
