Random Thoughts & Stuff

Well -- maybe start her off with Buffalo Trace Cream Bourbon.  I didn't pick one up for myself despite only being able to get it in KY.  It's, dare I say, better than Bailey's.  I dont like stuff like that -- but only because it seems like too many vices wrapped up in one package. AND, I got it for my sister so....

Got a reflux still for my birthday. Am working on the condensation component. Planning on a steady supply of vodka and gin after Armageddon.

Make sure you make some high octane batches too...drink it and use it for fuel at the same time! ;)

Are you kidding me?  After Christie signed the micro-distilleries thing my husband and B-in-L have been going nuts pricing everything out.  They are so funny - texting at midnight -- PING!  then my husband cackles with glee, or sighs with despair.

 

I've discovered I really hate vodka.  I hate the after taste with a real passion.  Love gin always have.  Sadly I've made all sorts of infused vodka from my herb garden.  Tastes great -- until the after taste hits. 

 

SO -- in conclusion - we'll have to get you some oak barrels - hopefully Armageddon won't hit for a decade or so.

Wow - IAmCanadian is 24. 

 

 

I missed above too -- no I didn't do blackberry -- but I make wineberry cordial.

 

We're over-run with wineberries. I make pies, jellies and eat them straight up for breakfast all June/July.  I went through over 10 pints and barely made a dent in the b@$tards.  Friends from across the state come to our neighborhood to pick the famous wild raspberries.  A friend of ours in the Catskills seriously took wineberry cuttings and is working his ass off to propagate them.  We had to explain how sorry he's going to be, as delicious a they are.  But my sheep LOVE the whole plant. Sheep have no problem eating prickers - I had no idea.  We may be out of wineberries in a year or so.

Sadly as you probably guessed by now....most of the non-hockey stuff (and people) have mostly migrated over to social media....a bit unfortunate, but there's been a whole new group of people in here....and for the most it ain't been the same in here in a long long time......someone had to say it.....

That is pretty sad, considering how long this board has been together. But I guess fighting negative nancies just gets old after a while. I have to admit, I haven't kept myself up to date on the Devils' trials, the Sens have kept me busy on that front well enough. I have just missed the community that used to exist here, which I guess just doesn't anymore.

This is true, and the fun vibe that used to be here every day is pretty much gone (go figure I tend to disappear after football season, that's where most of the people I still talk to on here congregate anyway), plus the explosion of social media has made it a lot easier to customize your own stuff and keep it all in one place too....it does happen....and yeah real life always interferes too.....

 

(add in the Devils being average at best and the loonies have taken over the asylum :blink: )

I miss a lot of the folks that used to post here.  Chat was different too.  We got silly in there sometimes.  The negativity level was low or short lived.   Reading some threads now makes me wonder if it is Groundhog's Day. ;)

 

I miss the people that would get together during the intermissions at the Meadowlands.  We had parties and got together for non hockey stuff.  That was great fun.  I miss those days and some of the folks who used to post.

Things do change....and evolve.....or in this case.....go the other way, but it's a small side function of technology.....FB, twitter, etc are just as easy and accessible to share your info, stories and stuff with your friends....and you don't have to worry about the people you don't wanna hear from or about either....

 

case in point.....all the old b-day threads on here now become mass wall posts on facebook (not saying that's much better, I spent half my damn birthday answering wall posts :P )

This conversation reminds me of when we spent like a year trying to organize a pick-up game to meet each other and we finally made it happen but of course it poured that day haha.

 

Didn't we still have the game??? And a river on the blue line??? :lol:

I had such an amazing good time there ! 

I remember my first time i visit there... around 2000/2001 (i only create an account one year after)... I remember looking at all that from my country and i was so sure that i would never be able to watch a game live

 

aaah... 13 years after ! 

 

And about the pic, i dunno if Don would be ok to put it there ! ; )
