// OMG it looks like the cow pucky has hit the fan in #StrangeDestinies! I feel really sorry for @2sidesofthesame.bsky.social and I understand that @generallyjack.bsky.social had to investigate and ask the question. But seriously @drnicholasrush.bsky.social ... Three sheets to the wind???

No, General, I do not have a problem with alcohol. I do, however, indulge in a glass or two of wine after a particularly long day of work. Or, did. *I thought I was doing a wonderful job of not grinding my teeth together or glaring at Dr. Rush while I spoke. Three sheets to the wind? I had -

*I swallowed a huge lump in my throat as my eyes enlarged. I never even considered this as a problem but could see why it was once Jack laid it all out. I sat up straight, a bit of a cold sweat forming on my brow as Lacey gave me a side eye that would have killed an elephant. Did I really say that-

Damn it Jack. She's clean as the driven snow. What could possibly be a problem? Most of us have colorful family members from our past. I'm sure you're not squeeky clean yourself. So her old man drank. Big deal. She and her sister are not BFF. It happens in families. Maybe the husband is a total-

Hey, Jack has a presence. No worries. And it's not easy to pull the wool over his eyes. But to be honest he's got a side to him that tends to relax you. It's just his way. And that wicked sense of humor of his takes getting used to as well. It tends to throw the bad guys off. *I set my empty mug-
