sweet, slightly syrupy, aniseedy cinnamon with plenty of heat. drambuieish without the herbs. that probably doesn't help.
I haven’t had alcohol in years, but if I did, something named Fireball would be bottom of the list :lol: . Ky bourbon flavoring tastes like cheap, sweet whiskey, no bite. Sort of like a flat jack and coke. I have whiskey and light rum flavors also.

Loved it all until the Alexa part.
It's OK,I still love ya!
I’m with you, after raising three daughters, I don’t want ANYTHING in my house that freaking talks back to me. Unless Alexa learns to do laundry or dirty dishes, she’s staying in the cabinet.

Just the hubby? :rolleyes:

I had to explain to the kid that like, due to moving countries every other year as a kid and stuff, I have an ABNORMAL reaction to grief, and don't cry. Well, I do, but not in the MOMENT, when I might have to be you know, vulnerable and etc. I just sort of mentally classify everyone I care about as "semi-perm" and act like there is no difference between like, their ACTUAL presence and my mental you know, scan of them. I've cried a bit, but not that much, although I will most definitely miss the kid, he was the most awesome thing that ever took place in my life. I really want a job for many reasons but first and foremost is like, being able to afford to visit him. I will definitely miss having someone I loved the MOST (or at least, the most UNCOMPLICATEDLY) in my life who will give me a hug and talk me off whatever ledge (I can do the same for him) he just was the easiest kid of all time (for me, anyway) God just happened to hand over a child that I understood instantly (and he me) which was THE BEST as he was NOT planned, and me and my mom love each other, for sure, but I will say I think we secretly Each think (well, I know I DO, her not so much) so well, I think I was spawned from some sort of weird pod she had in there.

Of course she was from that boomer "do everything at 110% capacity AND find the hardest job of all time and really you should have 12 of them," feminist generation. I will admit to often wondering if feminism was really so good for MOMs, as a whole and on an individual basis. Since I was Independent of Societal Norms, I just had that kid and cleaned houses and got my master's and he was in Daycare 0 times, either me or I paid my little brother to watch him. So, we all get along.

So not too much Kleenex from me, but god I have yet to cry that much even when someone up and DIES on me, I mean, I generally expect them to be around in heaven loitering around and waiting for me. Like I said, weird.

Plus, the fact that I consider death (at least at times) as nothing more than a welcome and longed for release to the pasture underneath my feet, well, that doesn't hurt either. The idea of "no more consciousness" is frankly many times fairly appealing.

Besides, when I Cry, I'm BETTER than Kleenex, LOL, I like to have a sort of runny, snotty, mascar-ed mess running down my face until I sniffle into my robe or whatever. I mean you can wash a ROBE, a Kleenex not so much. LOL

Drambuie and CINNAMON?

LOL that was my first serious attempt to get drunk and I chose it because it was "the fullest" in my parents cabinet and OMG there was a REASON for that.

My last hazy memory was staring up at this bottle that was 1/3 full and saying "I bet if I finish I will feel better." Which was not so true.

Came to in a hospital, still drunk after the stomach pumping and then got tied up because they tied up some old, demented lady and they were not listening to my explanation about how they SUCKED for that, so I just unshackled her and then we were both in shackles.

But, I ah, do not think I will be buying that flavor, that was a) a lot to live down b) my parents made me go to therapy for a LONG TIME and I hate that (unless I am the therapist apparently). LOL.

And C, OH GOD THE HURL FACTOR. LOL./

I can tell you, from personal experience, there is nothing wonderful or great and glorious about dying.
Dying is just dead. Game over.

Everytime I leave my family, it sets in that this time might be the last time.
I smother my wife and grown kids with kisses (which they hate).
I try to make light of it and pretend it doesn't matter, but it matters.
I wonder if I die, will they know how much they mattered to me?
Then I slap myself in the head, and remind myself that I matter too.

Then I tell myself the only thing I know to be true is that the only easy day was yesterday, and I ruck up and move on.

It's what we do.

From your own experience... .dying? Or just being around death?

Because I have no idea how anyone not currently dead knows what being dead is like and I've been around of lots of dead and dying people do.

I admitted to WONDERING about it, I claim no actual knowledge and even the white tunnel people, are people CURRENTLY alive, talking etc.

I'm not trying to minimize your thoughts on death, but they are actually thoughts, not first hand experience, and even if you were "pronounced" dead for a time, well I still think we need grave bells and etc.

Also, I will freely admit that my happy death thoughts are less and less frequent as I conquer my clinical depression and etc.
