I fell for the whole American Pride Reagan-Era bullshit for a while. I can't believe I was actually like that. No wonder nobody liked me back then. I cast my last ever vote for a Republican in 1992, and never looked back. I embraced my inner liberal, and am liberal until I die...

Fortunately, I got wise and dumped their asses.
I've been with my last one for 21 years now.

Congratulations to today's milestones!

No, Not the good ramen, the 5 packs for a dollar stuff. I got it out of my system and now I'm ramen-free.
