I’m not happy with how that company is treated our bunny either!

And the alcohol smell or taste? I’ve never experienced that. I’m usually pretty sensitive to that as well. So maybe try a small sample again to see if anything has changed.

Happy Friday everyone!

Ventured out to the hair salon today. Way over due.

did you go inside, or just go to the door??? ;)

We did have a chat (hairstylist and I) what we could do if I lost all my hair. All sorts of cute styles I’d otherwise never be brave enough to try.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll like it.

when the wifey started her chemo, she went to the hair place and had them do the closest cut possible... figured since she was going to loose it all, do it all at once and pretend to be a chia pet :)

she didnt want to see clumps of hair all over the pillows in the morning and she hates digging hair out of the shower drain... the one thing she did like about "it" tho was she didnt have to shave her legs n stuff...

Hey David.... how was that beer? Ive been wanting to try it but no one down here has tried it that I know of. I dont like spending money on something ( like beer/booze) that doesnt taste good

made a big mistake one time buying an expensive bottle of rum ( was told it was awesome) and it was undrinkable.... could have bought 3 bottles of Meyers for the price I paid for the " good one".. o_O

ata... the guy who told me it was awesome had never tasted it...


look what I found...

I saw an episode of “Food Unwrapped” yesterday that looked at beer ingredients. They “uncovered” the fact that clarification is achieved using “finings” — products that bind with the protein molecules and drop to the bottom as solid sediment, leaving you with clear beer.

Two products were used: pellets made from seaweed or a powder made from the swim bladders of fish.

Those items are not listed as ingredients because they supposedly are not in the finished product.

I thought of you and wondered whether you bother with any such thing, or with some other type of filtration for your brews.

Well that was my second bottle and I have another in the frig. I like it. Can't say what it looks like because I like my beer from the bottle. Never have liked using a glass.
I look at that site and this one when I'm thinking of trying something new. Abt 12 | Brouwerij St. Bernardus NV Everyone's taste is different but it gives me an idea if I might like it.

I like to keep it simple.. Flavor is good with just a little sweetness that I'd expect from a dark Ale. Mild aftertaste. And it goes down so smooth you won't notice that it's 10%alc. (not at first anyway;))

I had this a few years ago in Malibu at Neptune’s Net. It was really good!

Sigh. Nothing lasts. Now Malibu is torched and the beer is ruined. Why do I even get out of bed anymore? ;)

Guess I need to go to Walmart tomorrow. Spilled beer on my keyboard the other day and the keys are sticking. I'd clean it but I've had it a long time and the mouse is worn out. It's this one. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-and-Mouse-Combo/605403536

For that price, it's worth it to get a new one. It can take a heck of a long time to clean a keyboard and still not work quite right. I spilled a Coke on a laptop years ago. I tried to clean it, but it stayed sticky. And the key attachments broke too easily to keep taking them off and on again. A $25 replacement on eBay was well worth it.

What you *really* need is one of those projector style keyboards. It's just lights on your desk or tabletop. Wipes clean easily without messing up the keys. ;)

I use the seaweed stuff on certain batches... it drops out the gunk quickly and it stays on the bottom... just have to be careful when siphoning into the secondary fermentor.

I’m sure that’s better than some big expensive filtration system. When I finally get up the nerve to try brewing beer or ale, I’ll be looking to you for advice!
