On Drinking and not getting caught unaware · 10:36pm Dec 31st, 2017
I’m signal boosting Horizon’s The Elephant in the Equine Room blog post for good reason. As we head into New Year's Eve, remember there are creeps out there who are more than happy to dink with your drink. So watch what you chug, have fun without getting too plastered, and remember to write 2018 in your checks. (You know, those old pieces of paper we used to use before credit cards?)
It’s not the checks I’m worried about; it’s the contracts.
I still use checks. Thanks for the reminder though, I usually do the for the first month or so.
And please, every pony, be safe, watch out for one another and don't be afraid to be the one to speak up; whether it's taking a friends car keys, telling them that they've had enough to drink or stepping in to prevent someone making a bad decision or stopping someone from doing something harmful to another person, remember you might make the difference. Don't worry that someone will get angry or embarrassed, they'll still be there tomorrow to complain if they choose. But they will be there, and maybe they'll be glad you are as well.
Happy New Year, everypony!
I got refund from my cable company recently (switched to AT&T) and I was like, "WTF is this thing?"
People need to remember that criminals are humans too, and it's usually not easy to tell. They can just as easily be interested in ponies or whatever as anyone else.
But, that's why you make good friends that you can trust, to protect against those weirdos, and that's luckily what happened in the case everyone is spotlighting. There are still plenty of good people, so that's something not to forget either. Happy New Year. 
Happy 2018, Georg; may this be a good year to you and yours!
