I've been getting more hangovers lately, and they're more intense than they should be.Take last night. Went out, had 3 scotches and 4 glasses of water, came home, drank 2 more big glasses of water and went to bed.This morning, I had a moderate headache, felt nauseated, and weak. What's the deal? That's ridiculous - what should I be doing?
Do you work out regularly and stay in shape? It'll help as you get older. If I'm in decent shape (I haven't been fit in 15 years :bag), meaning regular work outs (3-4 times a week) the hangovers are not NEARLY as bad as when I'm in my drinking/lazy season.
:goodposting: I posted about this last week or so. I'm 38 now, but work out pretty hard, take a lot of supplement vitamins, etc., and I rarely get hangovers. I still get the cloudy-mind for a day, but I don't feel sick at all. Exercise works.

So my bar is a private club, therefore we have to close at 1am. And it was kinda slow tonight so I had everything done and was out the door by 1;30, which gave me plenty of time to get out for a bit and chase some late-night tail. And ftr, I was hammered like a champ. :banned: :pickle:

Got to another bar around 1:45. Hot bartender chick who I would swear on a sstack of bibles that i've never even seen before...but she knew my name and wahta I drink. Started hanging out, and seriously I've never had a girl flirting with me so hard. I'm at one end of the bar, she's there. other end, she's there. Outside smoking, she's bringing me shots and we're rocking out to the juke.

this is a place I used to work at, so I hop back in the kitchen for my next smokey treat. Obviously knowing she'd come back theree...he said in a devilish manner. So we're making out in the kithcen for a little bit, Homer is winning, all is right with the world. At some point she has to get back to the bar, and I happily finsh my smoke and get back to the crowd. So I'm talking to a guy I know and say we need to do some shots, I try to get this Rachel chick's attention (her name is Rachel btw) and he says "She's engaged". So I assume he's saying she's taking care of other customers...but that's not what he meant. He meant SHE'S ENGAGED.

Yes, less than a week after I promised myself that my wang would stop getting me in trouble, I was making out with a chick that has a friggin ring on her fingger. FML.
Mint this post and hang it above your computer. Call it CLASSIC HOMER and learn to stop resisting its glory. Only change "Engaged" to "16 years old."

what kind of scotch?
Glenmorangie Original.
try a lowland or islay instead. the peat in the highland scotch may not be agreeing with you.
Jesus, he's already kicking his chick to the curb and now you're telling him that his scotch is not agreeing with him? :no: (BTW, Bowmore, an Islay, is outstanding. My all time favorite).

This Series is going to give me a heart attack. Did you here about that guy who bet 250 on the Cards to make the Series and 250 to win it last month? He got 400-1 and 999-1. I bet he is really going nuts right now.
MLB obviously wants the Cards to win.
Cool.BTW the maze was at the farm we get our fresh eggs from. I've never been on a real farm before. It was pretty wild. They had to have at least 100 free range chickens that were EVERYWHERE. On top of that at least a couple dozen cats/kittens, goats, sheep, geese, ducks and about 50 cows.
Field trips are fun!

:lmao: I actually haven't tried Bowmore. I'll pick a bottle up today. Talking about the 3D3 again got me interested, but since it's not being made, it's hard to find. Found This link. Shipping is a bit much, so could use some advice on what else to get that I haven't tried to make shipping more even.

Cool. Bowmore is more smokey, oakey, and berry, and certainly more subtle than the peaty scotch you're used to. Everyone's got a different palate, but it's worth a try.

Keys, do you smoke cigs? I found that, during the 40,000 times I quit, hangovers hurt much less when I wasn't smoking. Also, drink a bunch of water before you go to bed after drinking all night. That helps with the dehydration aspect that plays so much in the hangover recipe.
 
Adn holy crap, I was at the bar for 40 minutes and spent $50. Frick!
Nice work, Alias.Picked a bad sports night to fall asleep early with a cold. GB the Rangers losing.
You're either with us or against us. :thumbup:

I normally do drink a bunch of water. That does help.No, I don't smoke. I haven't even had a cigar in 5+ years, and I've never been a regular smoker.

As pointed out above, it could well be the ingredients in addition to your body ageing. I had a friend who only got hangovers drinking Heineken - he could drink stuff like M's Best all night and feel fine the next day. St Pauli or the like, he was fine too.One other thing - and it depends on your stomach - eating about 1,000 mgs of aspirin before bed can help too. That helps the trauma of a headache while you're sleeping.
 
my dog is the stupidest ####ing dog i've ever been aroundTHERE'S NO REASON TO BE AFRAID. IT'S THE SAME ####ING FLOOR YOU HAVE WALKED ON EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS.
:lmao: :lmao: I'll see your stupid dog and raise you an obnoxious, overweight, brain-rot cat who fancies himself as a hunter of sorts, staring at the windows with like a stalker with a vicious tail wag whenever a squirrel roams around in the yard in front of him. The other day, I decided to let him out to see what would happen as the squirrel was essentially taunting him for 20 minutes right outside the window. I slowly opened the front door, pitched the 18 pound lump of lard out in the direction of the rodent and watched in sheer delight as the cat pounced upon the varmint, thinking finally the lazy sack of turd had done something remotely cat-like. As I dreamt of this feline ripping this squirrel to shreds, Jules the cat let out a horrific whine and turned tail back into the house faster than I've ever seen him run before, settling under the dining room table. I guess once he mounted the squirrel the squirrel turned around and made a squeal noise that freaked the cat the hell out. What a waste of fat and fur.

Would you mind going back and scouring the cow patties in the fields for mushrooms? TIA.

dog has to cross a linoleum floor to get from the dining room to the back door. every day when i come home from work and let her outside i debate whether she will make it across the thing without breaking her neck.some days it's like she doesn't notice it.. trots right across it just fine. some days she sorta cautiously walks across it.and some days, like yesterday, she gets gawks with terrified eyes, haunches down, ears down legs splayed like a fawn learning to walk, tongue out like Tanner trying to figure out a particularly difficult math problem... takes a couple tentative steps forward, then runs in place like Scooby Doo for about 3 seconds before propelling her body like a turkey bowled in to ten-pins.the scratching sound of her nails on the floor heightens her anxiety. that's when you can really see the fear in her eyes. if she could squeal i'm certain she would.yesterday she covered the 10 feet from doorway to back steps in about 0.3 seconds flat. none of it on her feet after the initial launch. crashed in to the kitchen cabinets on her way down the steps on her side. felt horrible for her but she hopped up like nothing happened then dashed out the door after a non-existent squirrel.it's bad enough when she does this to go outside but even worse when going up or down the stairs. worse still when one of us is navigating the steps and she does her best Sonic impression under your legs. she hasn't killed me yet but i'm pretty certain she'll get me before she dies.eta: she's an appx 75lb german shepherd/husky mix

Last time I can remember doing shrooms was in 1989. My aunt, who was from that generation, had a 20th anniversery Woodstock party. She hired a DJ, who played the album (& related records) and it rained. That night was a :trainwreck: - my brother's GF got a DUI because she decided while tripping that she wanted to try crack cocaine and went to find some. My first wife and I got into a terrible argument because my best friend's wife was hitting on me (we had a "history"). My uncle was chopping up ice for the cooler with a tobacco knife and broke it - with the blade spinning off and hitting my aunt in the leg. Another friend though it would be a good idea to get into his Jeep, get a running start, and power-brake into the driveway. He flipped over. I ended up DJing because my aunt's friend decided it was a good time to go back to heroin and nodded off. My uncle wanted to kick my butt because I - tripping/drunk - didn't want to stop playing Jimi's "Star Spangled Banner" over and over while extolling Reagan's virtues into the mike.

I'm taking the kids to the pumpkin patch this morning in hopes that they find the perfect pumpkin and get bored quick enough for me to make kick-off of the 10am games this morning.

Screw you, pumpkin patches. Screw you in the smallest of holes.

My ex wife just asked if I can spend the day with my daughter. I love my daughter more than anything, but it turns out only very, very slightly more than eggs benedict, bloody marys and a brunette with 36Ds that likes watching football and getting day-drunk. FML.

Tell me about it. There was a ton of collateral damage that came out of that night - including my first divorce and my brother almost shooting his GF when she climbed in his kitchen window after getting out of jail. Plus, I'm incredibly liberal socially and can't believe what an ### I was in pimping Reagan. I'm assuming I was trying to tweak my hippie aunt/uncle.
 
My grocery shopping haul this morning as a single man and on a diet:

1 Microwave safe bowl with handle and lid

2 spoons

10 cans of Progresso Light soup - 7 different flavors

1 box of Instant Oatmeal - 10 packs/3 different flavors

1 jar of Emerald Dry Roasted Peanuts

1 can of Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds (I'm a Wasabi/Soy guy, but the FFA raved about this flavor)

1 shot glass size glass measuring cup to measure my 2oz of Peanuts/Almonds at a time

1 bottle of Cholula

1 bottle of Louisana Hot Sauce

1 $15 iTunes card

50 bucks and I have breakfast and lunch at the office for the next two weeks, proper dishes for said breakfast and lunch for the future, added spice for soup for the future and some cash for some apps I have been wanting. Not a bad trip to the store.

I have an 80-pound pit/lab mix that does the same exact thing on our hardwood floors. Some days, he's fine, other days you'd think the house was a slip-and-slide. Last time he did it he slammed into an open cabinet door and broke the damn thing off the hinges. :lmao:

dog has to cross a linoleum floor to get from the dining room to the back door. every day when i come home from work and let her outside i debate whether she will make it across the thing without breaking her neck.some days it's like she doesn't notice it.. trots right across it just fine. some days she sorta cautiously walks across it.and some days, like yesterday, she gets gawks with terrified eyes, haunches down, ears down legs splayed like a fawn learning to walk, tongue out like Tanner trying to figure out a particularly difficult math problem... takes a couple tentative steps forward, then runs in place like Scooby Doo for about 3 seconds before propelling her body like a turkey bowled in to ten-pins.the scratching sound of her nails on the floor heightens her anxiety. that's when you can really see the fear in her eyes. if she could squeal i'm certain she would.yesterday she covered the 10 feet from doorway to back steps in about 0.3 seconds flat. none of it on her feet after the initial launch. crashed in to the kitchen cabinets on her way down the steps on her side. felt horrible for her but she hopped up like nothing happened then dashed out the door after a non-existent squirrel.it's bad enough when she does this to go outside but even worse when going up or down the stairs. worse still when one of us is navigating the steps and she does her best Sonic impression under your legs. she hasn't killed me yet but i'm pretty certain she'll get me before she dies.eta: she's an appx 75lb german shepherd/husky mix
Costco has some rubber mats for sale now. They're about 2x4' and come in a number of discrete colors/patterns. They do not slide around, match about anything and only cost about $22 each.

she's terrified of any sort of obstacles on the floor. we have tried rugs and such. she just won't go anywhere near them. :shrug:
 
Riddle me this. A local bookie in my area has cut a deal with some casino or off-shore book that has a website. The local now has a website that mirrors the odds and props etc available at the web-based book. One can place bets through this website, though no money is ever dealt with online. All collections and payoffs are done the old-fashioned way - in person. Local supposedly has to pay a per-bet fee to the web-based book.

So is this a great way to finally get props and other off-the-wall bets (systems even?) through your local, or is this basically a guaranteed-to-be-busted-soon thing since there is a pretty nice public paper trail?
