Odd day yesterday- Nabal was studying for the bible class he was teaching at his church last night. So, all silent on the addiction front. I think... He didn't even bring home a 40 after church.

I did get a little preachey this weekend. He had gotten to the point that he was doing everything out in the open- ie. in front of our kids. Not cool at all. So he'll slow down for a while then gradually get smug and cocky again.

His drinking buddies across the street had their electricity, gas and water cut off again last week, so he lost his hang out place for a while. He blames all that on their eating chinese food all the time. Of course it's not the the drinking case after case every day and not taking care of their business. Nabal commented the other day that they just pretty well needed a woman around to take care of them. One is 20 and the other is almost 30! I'm cold because I don't feel sorry for their plight. They work every day! He's their leader. They lived without heat most of this cold winter because he told them that their heat was broken and their landlord was to cheap and trifling to fix it. He told them there was no point in asking about it. You see he looked at it and couldn't get it to work. (probably while intoxicated) When the landlord finally found out that they had been living in an ice box for months, she sent a guy over and he fixed it- with a match! The pilot was out. Truly the blind leading the blind. Slipping over into that ditch...
