Me, too, pretty please! Thanks!

This is fantastic! I toast you and your beloved! I remember this thread and am glad you took the time to post up. I like closure, what can I say. There have been many relationship dilemmas posted here that I've been curious about.

I almost spewed coffee when I read this.

We've built a bonfire and are having friends over for beef stew and my IPA. There will be low-key revelry.

I think that you re-phrase that as: "I have a tendency toward being a bit introverted. I get a little overly-focused on the task at hand and may not come across as warm as others might expect. I've been working on this by pushing myself to engage my coworkers during breaks or other...

After frequenting this forum, I'm now afraid of mead... Thanks, Creamy. :mad:

There are some GREAT suggestions on here. I'll be checking out some of these folks here ASAP. I do have to brag, though...last night we got to go to a taping of Mountain Stage (an NPR show). We got to see Larry Keel, The Downhill Strugglers, Lunasa, aaaaannnnnnnd....ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL...

Garage Dweller, I want to speak to you as a calm voice in your time of pain. It sounds like you were wronged and you are generalizing your pain to the world at large and my gender in general. I do not now, nor ever would I advocate cheating or lying to a significant other. If she led you to...

^ THIS! What an excellent suggestion!

I have a winged helm, a'la that of a valkyrie. If I wear it when racking an ESB, will I hit the right SG?

Today we put some trub from my completed ESB in with the yeast for a pizza dough. Fantastic! Much improved rise and a nice doughy, malty flavor. It was just a little bit, too...maybe 1/4 cup or so.

My advice? Hold out for a while and see how my Brew Shed build goes before you commit. ( https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/bedlams-brew-shed-build-377417/) :p
