Listening to some Jefferson Airplane... random post...

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

Glace Slick had a great voice.

I saw her boobs when I was at Woodstock one month before I was born.

Tequila People,
Does tequila ever go bad?
Is the answer different if the bottle is opened or unopened?

Morning Ya'll Wife has her first official day off since her Tax Season started back in early January...

I am fixing her Oven baked Bacon... and our Special Breakfast Omelet Casserole with Sausage flavored Country Gravey to smother it in...

We're then kicking back with a Sativa Brownie and watch some old westerns or maybe some HS Basketball playoffs?
Depending on the strength of this batch of Brownies? we may end up watching Danger Will Rodgers or some other SIFI Chit??? Herfing

When I was younger and used to drink socially and in college, tequila was the best buzz, and it and good scotch rarely left me hung over. I really don't care to drink now (because I don't like how it makes me feel, medications I use, etc), but the liquor that absolutely kills me- is gin. Once did 8-9 shots in collegeand paid the price!

BARF!

I think hangover severity has more to do with your condition before drinking, water intake, and food intake. Now our memory for smells is one of the most persistant meories and the smell of a particular liquor probly gets assoiaated with a sever hangover.

That said, just a whiff of red wine sets my head spinning, offh.

Agreed. Neither Blackberry Brandy or Southern Comfort hasn’t touched my lips since the mid 1980s.

Asked the tequila question due to me rediscovering a bottle purchased in Cancun in 1991. Got it for the equivalent of $5. Never opened.

On a similar note, there is a half bottle of spiced rum I got from a friend gave to me when she traveled the Carribean. That was 1993. I believe because it is a spiced rum, I should pitch it.

Should probably post that question on the What Rums Are You Drinking thread.

So Co is another one that gives me the pukes just thinking about it. Last time I drank it was back in college where I ended up in a snow bank one night making orange colored Southern Comfort/bile slush as I was puking and prying to God that if he got me through the night, I would never drink again. I made it thorough the night but broke my promise to never drink again.

Gin, on the other hand, a lot of people don't like. It does have a unique taste. Gin and tonic with a slice of lime was one of my favorite drinks in college. I don't remember getting sick from drinking it. I kinda miss it along with various good beers but can't drink anymore. I will have some tonic water with a slice of lime now and again but just minus the gin or vodka.

Gin is what I like the most, an occasional gin and tonic. I do like the Last Word, Bees Knees, and Aviation cocktails if I want to take more trouble.

Tequila - can’t hold ANY Jose Cuervo up to my nose without the urge to purge. BARF! But, strangely enough, any other tequila is fine. Too many youthful activities with Jose.

Jack Daniels - another urge to purge, in almost all expressions. Was able to drink it until I was 35-ish then one night my friend and I ate some “special” cookies, went to see SRV and then went out Korean bar hopping. While we didn’t hop too much, rank w-a-y too many Jack and Buds (…but iirc, had a really good time…).

Southern Comfort - No, just plain no! Not talking

Scotch - while I don’t recall a really bad experience with it, just can’t seem to stand the smell and for the most part, the taste of it. Have made some exceptions but those have been for special reasons and I man up.

Gin - until a few years ago I never touched the stuff. Tasted like cough medicine. Wifey started to drink gin and tonics and when I took a sip one night, thought it wasn’t all that bad. Mebbe drinking “good” gin as opposed to the cheap chit had something to do with my change in attitude.

Started spring clean-up of the front yard plant/flower beds.

Dug up most of the sparse groundcover (Purple Heart) and placed it in simple trenches in the back yard to park it for a week or two. Then sprayed the entire bed with Round Up. Still got to trim and pesticide my Sago Palm.

Wife cut all the variegated ginger back to the ground because it was getting "leggy" and had too many cold burnt leaves from this wintner.

Sprinkler guy comes like Wednesday to make adjustments and add whatever heads and risers I might need to keep the ground-cover moist because it is tender and almost succulent-like in some ways.

Lawn guy is laying down mulch this week and then next weekend we will simply replant all the sprigs we saved and it will both look good right away and be choking out any weeds within 90 days. Got to call Preen to see if their product is compatibale with the ground cover.

Big problem is we didn't mulch for 2-3 years and weeds got in and started to take over when the sprinklers weren't working right and it dried out the ground cover... ram27bat

I haven't had Tequila for many years. Tequila was the preferred, "help me forget how much the job sucks" liquor when we were building the South Texas Project, a very stressful and frustrating job.

Along with long-neck beers, sometimes mixed with vodka, yup. We gargled shots of Tequila, great for a sore throat, and "enjoyed" instant margaritas, sit in a chair, lean back and someone pours Tequila, Tripple Sec, and a squeeze of lime in your mouth. Sounds pretty stupid now.Brick wall

Apple crisp is typically a fall seasonal desert. Me, F that... I'm making apple crisp in March. It is so yummy with a nice scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

I'm a rebel. Later I might get really adventurous and tear the tags from of all mattresses and pillows in the house. Maybe wear poka dot shirt and and stripes pants to work tomorrow (mental note... need to order a poka dot shirt and some striped pants) preferably with a huge collar and paisleies like they wore in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In show.

Wouldn't that be fun? Show up at work wearing styles from the 60's or 70's and pretending like it's just an average day

Went to a large park with a big lake this weekend with the kids. Saw a bald eagle soaring above. We watched it (never seen one before in this area). It swooped down and grabbed/ate a small duck. The kids were like "whoa, nature is cool..."

It's way cool! I've seen some stuff like that up close and personal, too. Hawks in the neighborhood, seen a bald eagle a time or two, and some turkey vultures. Lots of ducks and geese around for them to prey on.

Not to mention back in CA when Tank threw down with a coyote. d'oh!

I remember that crazy story.

My 3 year old asked what happened to the baby duck. My 5 year old mouthed to me "it's dead right?" The first of many difficult conversations I am sure.

Short day. Only 9.5 hours.
Cool, sloppy day. The dreaded Mixed Bag of snow, sleet, rain, freezing rain and maybe even graupel.

Graupel (/ˈɡraʊpəl/; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩]), also called soft hail, hominy snow, or snow pellets,[1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets in air are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of crisp, opaque rime.[2]

had to move my sister out of the assisted living senior center because she was falling so frequently and injuring herself. She was there less than a year before they told us they are unable to provide the care she needs. They told us she could stay if we paid for a 24/7 live in aide that would be there to help her move around without falling. That would cost $650/day on top of the monthly fee of $7,200 for their regular services, for a total of $27,000/month. Outrageous!!! They suggested we find a residential care facility that could provide the type of care she needs. This was tantamount to an eviction notice.

After an extensive search in our area, we found a residential care facility near our house that provides 24/7/365 care, two care-givers on site around the clock, supervised by a former nurse. She has a private bedroom and there are only four other residents. 3 meals/day, snacks, laundry service, housecleaning, diaper service, assistance to the bathroom and bathing/showering, help getting dressed...all for less than her monthly fee at the senior center. And the primary care-givers are friendly, helpful and personable.

sister can no longer walk on her own with a walker...very little strength in her left arm and leg...spends most of the day in a transport chair and has to be pushed around...needs help getting out of, and into bed...her short-term memory is almost non-existent...breathtaking how rapidly her mental and physical health has deteriorated in the last couple of years.
