There’s a hini flu? Is it sort of like the tushy flu or more like the butt-butt flu?!

Ain’t tried that one. Looks good. I’d better make that a priority.

Right on the money! After one of those, for medicinal purposes, you need a couple of them straight, no ice, just to make sure the medicine kicks in. Otherwise, it would be a waste.

That time of year again? Time for the "pandemic is going to kill us all" nonsense?

Wake me up when it's my turn to die...

“....and the only thing that will save us is higher taxes, bigger government, and fewer freedoms!”

I don’t have insurance either. At 63 and in excellent health, I still can’t get a rate that is less than a couple of doctor’s visits a year for check ups. It is a faith thing with me. To each their own.

Isn’t that called “Rock ‘n’ Rye?”

Rye whiskey, lemon juice, rock candy

Never tried it though.

When I was a kid we had warmed brandy with honey.
