[QUOTE=metroins post_id=1652817833]Anybody drinking anything good this Christmas?
Usually drink guiness or scotch. Maybe I'll get some haysil baden or whatever it is.[/QUOTE]SCOTCH?!!??!!? YECCH, the most foul consumable liquid ever made by human beings, lol lol lol!!! I'll probably have a friend visit from the next high-rise north of me for New Year's Eve, though. May even get drunk.
I've been drunk maybe 10 to 13 times in more than half a century of adult life. He was over here NYE nearly a year ago and I got drunk. I believe that was my FIRST TIME EVER DRUNK *AT HOME*. I'll probably stick to beer...I've got SPOTTED COW (an ale), TOTALLY NAKED (a lager), and MOON MAN (a pale ale) from New Glarus Brewing Co. in the same-named Wisconsin town. They steadfastly refuse to allow their product to be sold outside the state but I'm nearby and that's one of those states that I DO VISIT occasionally. I think of this as the "21st Century Coors"*** equivalent. BUTTTT...they're all so much better than Coors, lol.
***(Compare to the mid-70s movie SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT, where the whole premise was to take an entire semi-trailer full of Coors to the East Coast, back when Coors was adamantly limiting their availability to part of the West. As many of you know, it's brewed in Golden CO - suburban Denver.[URL=https://gamingsection.net/news/why-was-coors-illegal-in-smokey-and-the-bandit/]https://gamingsection.net/news/why-w...nd-the-bandit/[/URL])
Also I have FAT TIRE, and P.I.T.A. PUMPKIN ALE from Highrail Brewing Co. in High Bridge, New Jersey. Not sure which I'll have, so many choices! He'll likely bring red wine over. Why P.I.T.A.? The can claims that's because it's "a pain in the @#% to brew" LOL! I "discovered" this TRUE micro-brewery on the November part of my trip to New Jersey (actually northern Maine to Washington DC), heading home toward Chicago. Rather surprising to see their beer in cans, because their entire brewery is three refrigerator-sized vats, and something as "micro" as that isn't usually bottled or canned.
Spotted Cow and Fat Tire (in that sequence) are my two favorite beers so far, but the EXTREME vast majority of beers out there have not been explored by me.

It seems paradoxical to me that there are so many supply issues, and yet apparently no fewer trucks than there should be? Or, are these trucks often running with smaller loads than usual? A ttucker would probably need to answer this...Turkey is processed. Shipping to and from the processors is now more expensive. Labor is more expensive as well because the processers are facing labor shortages. Corn and soybean costs are also up. Pretty much everyone is having these issues.

Definitely. Going balls out this year since I haven't seen my wider family or celebrated a Christmas in two years. I'll write the last word of my PhD thesis right before Christmas as well, so I doubt there's been a bigger occasion in my life to hit the turps.
I'll do scotch, spirits, liqueur, alcoholic egg nog, the works.

We consider the other players part of family and assume our risk. We had to wear masks, though, which is pretty unpleasant doing Judo and pretty ridiculous considering what we're doing...but that is the law in my county.
Got promoted this year, so one more level of brown after my current rank before shodan. I had been at my level for a long time so had enough points...but usja has also had a whole controversy with finances and elections so lucky it still exists tbh.
I've been doing a Japanese Jiu-jitsu sort of like aikido after judo for a while which is some horrendously rude wristlocks and illegal Judo stuff.
Attendance for that was too low so now after judo I'm doing karate. Haven't done that since I was a kid and I'm terrible at it lol.
No idea when local tournaments are coming back for judo. I probably have a few more good shiai in me, but over the next 5 years or so will be transitioning to judo kata and just getting old.
Thinking about getting one of those stretching machines, too. My flexibility is pretty good for just anyone, but compared to the karate people it's not that great.

That was uchi mata btw
...
Almost looks like o garuma but her leg is inside the other player's legs I think.
Had she not used her legs at all, I think it would have been sumi otoshi.

I refurbished my throwing knife target after...eh. 2 years or so? Idk. Sort of near the beginning of covid I made this, and finally the black part which is the end grain target part started to split and lose pieces. Put it back together, restained, and got a new, replaceable end grain target part.
The black part was originally supposed to be replaceable but I screwed it in instead of using bolts
and they stripped.

It tears up too easily using tomahawks, and need to make something out of just the endless supply of pine rounds which are in this area for that throwing practice.
I also got one of these to see how well they would work instead of the Smith and Wesson ones you can get at a sporting store...they work A LOT better. They're a lot more expensive, but so much better for instinctive throwing (where you try to stick the knife any distance rather than at certain paces based on rotation)

It's been a fun covid hobby to pick up...

Had a fever a few days ago that peaked at around 103. Tested negative for covid. Fever lasted less than 36 hours. It's been quite a few years since I've gotten a fever, but I don't remember ever kicking it that fast. Weird.

Times are tough these days; very tough. My mom has worsening Parkinson's and we're caring for her at home and my dad has a long list of health problems and has surgery for colorectal cancer in the am that I'm taking him to in the morning so I'm stressed as hell about that right now. His brother died last year from an MI during what should have been a basic prostate surgery so that has us extra worried right now. Every day I ask myself if I should be debating politics at this forum and how it fits into all the other serious crap in my life. I often get angry/frustrated at political BS and then ask myself is it really that important compared to my IRL problems I have going on.
I'm a worry wort yes I am.

Best wishes to you and yours.Times are tough these days; very tough. My mom has worsening Parkinson's and we're caring for her at home and my dad has a long list of health problems and has surgery for colorectal cancer in the am that I'm taking him to in the morning so I'm stressed as hell about that right now. His brother died last year from an MI during what should have been a basic prostate surgery so that has us extra worried right now. Every day I ask myself if I should be debating politics at this forum and how it fits into all the other serious crap in my life. I often get angry/frustrated at political BS and then ask myself is it really that important compared to my IRL problems I have going on.
I'm a worry wort yes I am.
I'm a worry wort yes I am.

Creative writing is a good way to focus a stress away- as long as you accept it isn’t a debate here- it’s just communicating your thought to about 70 regular people who won’t change their mind.
Get angry and stressed about political things? nah that’s just silly.
It sounds like your family needs a foundation grounding force patriarchal man.
It’s your turn to be the leader now.- The guiding light that keeps it together.
You no longer have the luxury of self-pity, or mental collapses.
I would advise
-keep yourself as fit and sharp as possible
-stay well groomed
-make sure your room is clean, and make sure their house is clean
-wear dress shoes, slacks, and a button up shirt daily
-walk around with a commanding presence to give the comfort of others around you- you own the situation
Monitor you’re outward expressions and display care with confidence.
Always keep the triangular mind, body, and spirit intact.

I'll be joining the misc dad's crew in 6 months. Wife is pregnant with a baby boy. Avoided daughters.gif for now, but we do want another child or two in the future so if it happens it happens.
All joking aside, having a daughter is probably awesome as well
