When is it considered bingeing?

In response to last week’s imponderable question, “When is it considered bingeing?,” my social media friend Mark pointed out, “When you are too embarrassed to tell your friends about it. Or worse, you do it when your spouse is out or asleep.”

My cousin Wes  acknowledged, “As a lone ranger, eating a package of Voortman sugar cookies during  a 3 hours drive. HiHo Sugar away!”

My sister-in-law Lorrie explained, “When you totally overdo it but it felt oh, so good….until the next day.”

My neighbor Al concluded, “If it involves a funnel and a hose, or wearing a diaper,” after which my equestrian friend Royce replied, “I hate to sound redundant, but is this a Kavanaugh question?”

My dad’s beach buddy Bob lamented, “It is a prolonged period—hours to days—in which an addict ingests increased amounts of cocaine, crack, alcohol or another abuse substance, often without rest,  I am too old for it.

And my business development friend Ray responded, “When consumption of anything – material or otherwise – is in such excess that your world resembles a blowfish in distress!”

Please send me your thoughts about this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' ":

What is old? [from my colleague Tricia)

Life is too short for drama and petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, and forgive quickly.

Save the date:  I’m helping plan the 14th annual Thanksgiving Ecumenical Celebration on Thu, Nov 15 at 7p.  Click here for details.

Do you know a small business in ATL that is paying too much for healthcare (or can’t afford to offer healthcare benefits)?  As part of a solution that was covered in Atlanta Business Journal and Coastal Seasons (cover story starts on pg 24), I would appreciate an introduction to that business.

Thanks to Demetri Martin, Steven Wright and George Carlin for the inspiration for Hmmm.   I invite you to call or email me to catch up.
