At Parsley our most
frequent recommendation
for alcohol is cutting wine and beer altogether, and sticking to vodka, white tequila and mezcal routinely instead,

issues, as these forms of alcohol have very little residual sugar or toxins.
-- more
frequent communication with my immediate family — more connectedness with colleagues across the country (and in some cases, around the world)-- becoming acquainted with colleagues from around the world — finding
people who have similar experiences
for the purpose of mutual moral support — sharing photos with a lot more
people (before digital cameras I did not take photographs since it was too expensive)-- distance learning via the web (courses)-- learning about subjects of interest in more depth, especially from papers by others — learning from conferences I was unable to attend in
person (through papers posted, blog posts, conference wikis, and photos on Flickr)-- more readily available consumer information — more readily available government information — learning more about basic health
issues — more creative cooking since I have more access to recipes — feeling more connected to my favourite musical groups / musicians since they now have extensive websites, email notification services, and blogs — better organization of the various groups I belong to
Issues such as the movement of
people between rooms, the process
for confirming which information can be shared and what should be kept confidential, the oversight of a variety of relationships interacting with one another at the same, and
frequent intense displays of emotion all contributed to a dizzying mix of considerations that had to be held in balance by the mediator.
