  1. If you are going to drink tonic - drink Q-tonic - made with agave - not sweet like schweppes and all that crap - really good stuff - once you have had it you will never want to drink any other kind of tonic.

     

    Q tonic

     

    I should try Q now that I'm back into it. I had Fever Tree, which isn't nearly as sweet as the big brands. Q claims the sell at the Wegman's in the area. but I don't remember seeing them. I'll have to look again...

  2. This thread is having a bad influence on me. Gin and tonic at a wedding on Saturday, Gin and Tonic Monday night (using the fancy-pants tonic at Wegmans), Eagle Rare bourbon Tuesday, and Speyburn single malt last night. And, for the first time in many moons, I am out of scotch.

  3. Tomorrow is my work from home day, so I'll have to have NHL network on all day to listen to trade news. :-( Wait, wrong thread.

     

    Got a bit drunk last night, at home, by myself, on my birthday. It didn't seem sad at the time...

  4. Got drunk on Jack Daniels Maple Syrup last night.

     

    Say what now? Is this home made or something you buy?

     

    I have so much to do, I don't know how to keep up. And, I'm going to miss parts of the second and third rounds, and maybe game 1 of the SCF for work. Damn them!

  5. 2. Why did it take me this long to try Sam Adams Light? It beats Blue Light by a mile & a half. Anyone try any other light beers that don't actually suck?

     

    Light beer is a sham, I did the math. If you drink 2 bottles of (say) Victory Hop Devil (6.7%, 170 cal) or 5 bottles of MGD 64 (2.8% (!!!!) and 64 cal), you take in nearly the same calories and alcohol content. You're do get more water in the light beer though! Give me the idea of making my own light beer, just add a 20oz of water to each bottle of IPA.

     

    Oh - and no one has corrected the clock on SS for DST. I've been waiting 4 days to make that complaint!

     

    Go into your profile under settings, un-check 'DST Correction' and then 'In DST?'. I'm guessing the board software never caught up with the DST changes a few years back (which is rather scary if the software isn't getting updated).

  6. Boy do I hate the cloudy, dark, dreary, cold rain soaked weather in between seasons.

     

    That was the entire winter in Maryland. Give me snow any day.

     

    Complaint: my charging system is all f'd up at work, so I'm in this dozens-of-email-long conversation with the labor people trying to figure out how to fix it. But it works out, I blew the breaker taking out half the room I'm in so I'm handicapped on how much work I can do anyways until the electricians get here.

  7. How about the sexual assault training? I was required to do 12 hours of it at one previous job. :rolleyes:

     

    Keep your hands off the other guys at work and you won't have to! (I kid, I kid)

     

    I once pointed out that my ex's workplace was much like the video of what NOT to do at my workplace.

  8. I've really been getting into these micro-breweries. I'm drinking a Great Lakes brew called Commodore Perry and its great!! I highly recommend it.

     

    The Edmund Fitzgerald is a really nice porter from them. Check out Victory Brewing's stuff too if you get a chance. Really good.

     

    Complaint: having a really tough time getting back to eating discipline after the holidays. I'm still within a few pounds of my lowest weight since I was 20, but I haven't made any progress since Thanksgiving.

  9. Get a dog.

     

    Complaint: I hate when dog people act like ######. What has a cat ever done to you?

     

    As for the cats, hit up petfinder.com. They have a listing of pet welfare groups and you might be able to find a no-kill shelter if you're squeamish about the SPCA.

  10. I haven't been on the bike in a month; I can usually eke out a couple rides in December, January, and March. I've only ridden once in February, and I saw some flurries on the way home.

     

    Also, I gained 5 pounds in the last two days. Xmas party and pot-luck on consecutive days not good.
