Miller Lite. I'm waiting on delivery of a pizza.
I know.. heresy, piss water, etc etc etc.. but it's still my favorite beer. I'm on my second one..
What are you having to help soothe over the worlds worst week in politics ever!

(6,409 posts)It's legal here, and healthier than beer. Sure would hate to give up beer, but the alcohol and carbs combined are killing me.

It's that other related plant to hemp that has kept me going in my life! I'll be glad when my state says that after 35 years of me doing that that it is okay.

This has been an utterly catastrophic week for the world. And it's far worse than most of us can even believe. Essentially, disguised Russian troops have occupied the White House.

Apparently Trump did not want anyone in the room when he talked to Putin over the phone, but was voted down by what is known now as the
Unholy Alliance: Pence, Bannon and Pribus.

(63,221 posts)well, it may end up being a bottle - and slapping on the Salon Pas patches like mad for my tension in my neck, shoulders and back.
I swear, since Trump was elected I am keeping Salon Pas in business. I am so tense and they work so much better than ibuprofen or any other pain reliever.

(63,221 posts)I prefer them because they stay on so well. I have tried lidocaine patches but they are cold and they fall off easily and they just don't quite do it for me.
mcar
(42,426 posts)I tried lidocaine too but the cost/benefit isn't worth it. I get tiger balm by the 6 pack from Amazon. Keeps me going when I've got computer work to do.

Have an extra piece for me, my friend.

eta- picked a sarah peretsky.
bonus- bought it at the thrift shops, and turns out it was an autographed copy. second time that happened to me. last one was a better score, tho. david baldaci's first book.

(70,294 posts)she is an ardent feminist, and mentor women mystery writers, which used to be an oxymoron.
the first one i read was distracting, because i kept trying to picture the settings, to figure out where she was.
that's the best part now, tho.

I like expensive hand crafted beers too.
And beer I make myself.
Okay, it's probably useless to ask my opinion about a beer.

It's a very limited production, and it comes from one valley in Austria. They only ship to Austria, Germany and Switzerland. From wherever in the world you live, it's a worth the trip just to have one glass of this stuff.
HoneyBadger
(2,297 posts)Which is not exclusive of drinking. Airports have bathrooms, Wifi, restaurants, bars and Uber to take you home. I recommend that you do your drinking at the airport for the next 120 days. Oh yeah, straight vodka, whatever the cheap stuff is. Doubles as hand sanitizer 😱
