Sar, it's getting past the time to get serious about the drinking... What can I say, I worry about you, even though I've never met you...
I mean, you pass it off as a joke, that oh, well, now you'll ride the bro's bike to the liquor store! No no no, babe, the accident was a 'way big Sign from the Guy/Girl Upstairs. Clean it up now. Right? Accidents happen on bikes, too, you know. And for god's sake, wear the helmet...the other Nudge-Nik,
Wendy
ps: tell me off if you want to, I don't care...
