Mid-week pause that refreshes. What everybody drinking tonight?

[Aristus]

Bodega Belgrano, a 2011 Argentine Malbec.

Niiiiice...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

1. Iced tea. Decaf with splenda. Yeah, I know I'm booooring.

[Aristus]

3. Sometimes iced tea can have quite a kick...

[olddots]

2. orange juice

in my mind it's 60% vodka

[Aristus]

5. The mind is a very powerful intoxicant.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

4. Jack Daniels...single barrel select....

with a splash of soda! Very nice!

[Aristus]

7. Sounds like just what the physician assistant ordered.

Enjoy!

[one_voice]

6. Moscato..

[Aristus]

9. Very nice.

Good to see you here, one_voice!

[one_voice]

23. Thanks..

backatcha! Hope the week is treating you well! I know your job can be very stressful.

[Aristus]

25. Monday and yesterday sucked.

Today was a little better.

Is your hair still that lovely color? I had a classmate in PA School who dyed her hair that color. She was from Serbia. She was gorgeous in a way that you only find in Central Europe. She reminded me of the way many German women love to dye their hair that color; and then I saw it on you.

Anyway, two more days, and then the weekend...

[one_voice]

34. I'm sorry those days..

sucked. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better!

No, I changed my hair for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside in the summer (I have a pool) and that color would fade or cost a fortune to keep up. So I now have a really pretty (at least I think it is) coppery color with nice chunks of blonde through it. My stylist has gift for color. I would follow her anywhere. I will go back to my other color for the cooler weather.

I'm laughing that I'm talking to you about hair color.

[Aristus]

35. Me too.

It's not something I spend a lot of time talking about. But yours was striking...

And I've had a few...

[one_voice]

39. Thank you!

I'm off to bed soon. Have a nice evening!

[Aristus]

40. Same to you...

[arcane1]

8. Cabernet, vintage Twisted 2011

[Aristus]

10. Nice!

[arcane1]

11. I don't know about "nice", but I'll toast to "adequate"

[Aristus]

12. On a Wednesday, adequate will have to do...

[arcane1]

18. Indeed, it always does!

[Paulie]

13. Bottom Up Wit by revolution brewery

[HeiressofBickworth]

14. Thai iced tea

Stopped at the little Thai take-out place and picked up Pad Thai and an iced tea for dinner.

[sheshe2]

15. Vodka,

straight from the freezer, Aristus.

[Aristus]

19. For my dear sheshe:

[sheshe2]

21. Absolutely!

sheshe

[Aristus]

22. Here's to you...

[sheshe2]

29. Thanks Aristus,

It's been a tough week, I'm from Boston, a suburb actually. However Boston is what all of us are.

Your being in the field, you would have been proud of the emergency and medical response here.

[Aristus]

31. I was proud of them.

I hope I do as well someday. I wonder sometimes if I'm worthy of the responsibility I've undertaken.

Big to all of our brothers and sisters in Boston.

We are all one right now...

[sheshe2]

36. Oh trust me Aristus, you are worthy.

I have read what you have posted about the clinic, the homeless et al. You have compassion for those you treat, it shows in your words.

Sorry don't want to be a downer on your thread.

Here's a link (uplifting) about the response.

[Aristus]

37. Thank you, sheshe.

That wasn't a downer. It picked me right up. After what happened in Boston, I have nothing to complain about.

[pipi_k]

16. Can't get...

much more boring than a glass of chocolate milk

To go with my Fiber One chocolate brownie.

[HarveyDarkey]

17. Barrel Aged Old Rasputin

[Aristus]

20. Hmm...

Never had that. Is it any good?

[HarveyDarkey]

44. Have you had the regular Old Rasputin?

If not you need to try it. One of the best American versions of a Russian Imperial Stout there is. This is Bourbon Barrel aged, need I say more?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Water! Along with a piece of banana coffee cake as my dessert!

[Aristus]

27. Ah, well...

you have your health to think about, CalPeg.

Lot of people here in the Lounge who don't know what they'd do without you...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Aw, thank you, my dear Aristus...

I don't know what I'd do without my dear friends here either...

That's a two-way street for sure...

[alarimer]

26. Goose Island Honker's Ale

Decent. There was a limited selection so I thought I'd try it.

[Aristus]

28. Here you go:

[Rowdyboy]

32. A delightful concoction known as an Anita Bryant.....Apple juice and vodka....

Dreamed up back when Miss Orange juice Anita Bryant was busy crusading against gays back in the 1980's.

[Aristus]

33. Bitch.

I wouldn't have honored her by naming anything after her, except maybe a sewage treatment plant...

[Rowdyboy]

45. Look what hate did for her career.....Anita who?

[nomorenomore08]

38. Pyramid Discord Dark IPA

[EvilAL]

41. Some cold Alpine

*image not to scale

[Aristus]

42. I didn't think so.

I'd have to drink 50 of those suckers in order to get happy...

[EvilAL]

43. Depends on how

big your monitor is. If it was an 80 inch screen I could only handle 2.

[Skip Intro]

46. Green-label Evan Williams and Diet Ginger Ale.

After a couple of cold Miller Lites, of course.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

47. Reality: Water

In my mind: Sangria!

[Zorra]

48. Twin Arrow Brown Ale, from Mother Road Brewery in Flagstaff, AZ.

It's really good.

[hay rick]

49. Drambuie on the rocks.

Mostly melted ice now.
