    You're right! I am nuts. I worked an afternoon shift for GM for 30 years. Went to bed at 2:00 and got up at 9 or 10:00 every day for my whole adult life until I retired 4 years ago. The day after my retirement party I passed out at 9:00 at night and woke up at 5:00 am. Been like that ever since.
    Not much nightlife out here in the woods, maybe that has something to do with it. The only reason to go to a bar around here would be to drink Bud Light and get into a fight and I can't drink that watered down swill.

    No nightlife here in the woods either. I'm a Bud drinker but no light crap. DH drinks PBR.

    You know what they say....If you hoot with the owls, you can't soar with the eagles.

    I work 12h nights on the weekends and 18h days raising my boys (and DH, lol) during the week.
    I neither hoot nor soar, I just piddle along in a brain fog most of the time. Thank goodness for coffee and my Buzz!

    Have a great time tonight, props to you for the limo! Ya'll have fun. And tell them Merry Christmas from SC!

    5card, ditto that on the German beer. I think I'll go find me some and pretend I'm at Buzzkill's Xmas party!

    Pokeygizmo, are you raising them boys solo or are you married? I raised my son alone and I know how hard that can be. Great idea about a brewski and pretending we were at the Buzzkill party.

    My son in law and daughter are craft brewers and they got me spoiled on good, no, great beer a long time ago. I like porters the best. They brew an almond toffee porter that you could have for desert. I think I still have a bottle of their russian imperial stout out in the beer fridge. Hope so. That stuff is a little over 10% alcohol.

    I'm like Mike and 5C, going to bed about the time most of you are getting up. Used to work 12 hour night shift and even tho I haven't worked in almost 20 years I never really got turned back around to days. I'm usually rolling outa bed around noonish.

    I'm pretty close to a teetotaller, it's very rare for me to drink alcohol. But when I do, give me a good Belgian Blonde Ale or a Lambic!

    No, I am married but he commutes to his job M-F and is gone from 6am until ~7pm. That's not a lot of time in the evenings with our boys. Many days, I do feel as if I'm doing it solo, especially since I take care of all the other "at home" jobs -- bill paying, clothes washing, car/house maintenance stuff, school stuff, cooking, etc.

    That was a lot on you by yourself, 5card. I really believe that the only thing harder than raising children (right, that is) is having to do it alone.

    Bailed on the beer, went with wine instead! :)

    Ah, you like those sour-ish Belgian yeasts. My wife and daughter like those. My daughter is a fan of the Lambics as well. I like 'em dark and toasty.

    Actually I like the fruit Lambics, I guess that would be the Krieks and Framboise. And the white beers. I spent about 3 weeks in Charleroi, Brussels and Bruge about 8 years ago, had a blast :)

    I actually do have a recipe Mist, but thank you. I just don't drink very often so I don't make it. I guess I should make a non alcoholic version hehe. And you want unhealthy?? I used a small glass last night and made a drink of half Bailey's and half of...half and half! I called it a Caramel Fatazz

    Love the drink name, Bov!

    I like me some Bailey's, straight or in coffee, too!


    Chambord is good with a dollop of half and half every once in a while. Guess you could call that a Razz FatAzz, ha!
