I can't say I would want to know how long I'll be around. I think it would probably stress me out unnecessarily.
 
In answer to your question Dan, I dont go to the doctor much. I only go if I am certain I have something bad. Grew up with the "put a dirty rag over it" approach when I hurt myself. True I am only in my mid thirties, but it has worked for me so far. I dont take medicine unless I absolutely have to. I probably will be one of the ones who eventually catches something that had I gone to see a doctor with flulike symptoms could have been caught and treated. Maybe its genetics, maybe it is the fact that I was exposed to other kids more when I was younger, but I seem to be an obnoxiously healthy person. When I go to the doctor, I will be honest with them on whats going on. Working in a field where I diagnose problems (with computers rather than people) knowing all the information is key. I have had several occasions where a problem that could have taked 5 minutes to fix took hours of work because someone did not tell me what I needed to know. I see healthcare the same way.

As for knowing how much longer you have... I would hate to know my expiration date. Knowing you are going to die eventually adds spice to life. Knowing you are going to die tomorrow would just be depressing. Then again you hear all these stories of people who know they have 6 months to live going out and actually living. IMO, enjoy your life. Take care of your health but do not stress overmuch about it. Get some relaxation time in, but get some adventures and excitement as well. All in all be content.

My ramblings just reminded me of this.

Good advice all of it.
 
Evening Ladies and germs. Hope you all are doing well. I only know from this thread of course.

Dan, you I worry about. I do think you need to seriously get your **** together. I'm not sure what exactly your sitch is, but maybe PM me and we talk.

The rest of you pukes (ladies excepted, of course), this is for your late nite soundtrack. Groove Armada - Suntoucher.

Does that price includes shipping? Are they pellets? If the answer to the above is yes then I would.

No that does not include shipping and yess they are Pellets. There's 5 other things in the order, so its $1 shipping... Local brew shop is 140 miles away... $1 is worth it IMHO :rockin:

Oof, I felt like crap this morning. I was up late making cheese last night, and digging to the bottom of a keg of beer. Ouch. What was I thinking. I barely even remember posting the post above.
 
Good on ya. What kind of cheese did you make? I have only made mozzerella once. It was great and I do not know why I haven't made it again.

Farmhouse cheddar with chives. I fell asleep right after cutting the curds. I needed to let the cut curds rest for 30 minutes so I layed down. Woops. Woke up this morning and got them into the press, but I'm afraid it won't knit into a proper wheel. Curds were super tight when I got them out of the whey.

I've made two good mozzerellas and about 10 bad ones. I might never try again. Regardless of what they say, that is NOT a beginner's cheese.

That sounds good. Love chives! Maybe you found the secret and it will be the best ever.

At least I know where to get some advice for the next batch now;)

I've been posting a bunch in our cheese forum on HBT. I just posted this picture a couple of days ago. I've been gnawing through this absolutely perfect blue cheese I just finished.

Pappy. Thanks. That's the second time you've offered a one on one talk. You're a very good fellow.

I'd just like to sit down with you and Ischiavo and most everybody here on this time of night. Talk, drink a couple beers, cigars if you got em 😄 shoot the sh!t.
 
I just found out that I have been anonymously gifted a lifetime membership! I am really floored. What an awesome gift! I may be wrong but my list of suspects is rather short. I highly suspect that my benefactor has posted in this thread though so here is where i will leave my very sincere thank you. I hope you find it here and hope I can repay your kindness someday.

Passed, that is some fabulous looking cheese there. One of my favorites. My grandpa got me started on it when i was very young. It was great because none of the other kids would touch it. I always ate anything and everything;)

Dan, I do hope we can meet up someday. You know you are welcome here if you ever find yourself in the UP.
 
I'd like to make cheese, but I'm determined to crack sourdough first.

Been busy teaching 3 nights a week (too much) doing the day job, son in scouts and baseball, and working on this year's So Cal Homebrew Fest (back on now that we got the law fixed)

Run your own company and you won't ever use the term "day job" again :)
 
Hi everyone!

PP that cheese looks fantastic!

Dan, it was good chatting today. We'll get that beer and stogie together someday!

lschiavo, I hope you have been well. How is work? Congrats on the gifted membership. You deserve it!

LRB, it sounds like you are indeed a busy man. I'm betting you do a good job on that sourdough.

I went on a diet as a New Year resolution. Well... it's the first time in my life that I have stuck with the resolution. I have cut my beer consumption down drastically. As well as improving eating habits. I'm down 13 pounds since New Years day. I have a long way to go, but feeling motivated. Fridays and Saturdays are my beer drinking nights ( I cheat and have just one usually mid week, though), so I am really looking forward to tomorrow. I have a lot of homebrew on hand, and at my new rate of drinking it will take a long time to finish it. First world problems..

Anywho.. I hope all of you are well, and enjoying life!
Cheers!

Hey Stauff,

Nice to SEE you again. Work is slow now but good prospects coming up. I am enjoying a little time to catch up on projects. I am setting some tile in my bathroom today. It's you that does tile right? If so, come on over...I have plenty of beer and stogies;)

Nice job with the weight loss. I always gain some in the winter. Last few years, It's been tougher to keep my girlish figure. I weigh myself nearly every morning to try to stay on top of it. Seems to help a lot.
 
Hey Late Niters! Friday nite, I hope nobody is reading this because you're too busy celebrating your awesome lives! But if so, here's a ditty for your late nite soundtrack. The wonderful Leon Russell, Stranger in a Strange Land. I think I read a sci fi book a long time ago with the same title, but I might be mistaken.
