Fortunately, in my case anyways, beer never seems to last long enough around me to freeze whether it be in the freezer, a snow bank or in liquid nitrogen.
Yep, and open the lil wheel then squeeze the bag a lil.Beer IV
Stat!

(((OoO))) If it makes you feel any better, our tastes must not be as discerning as Ms Mod's SO. We let the beer thaw a bit and dropped a straw in the bottle
I gots to say though... Beer slushies are not as good as frozen margaritas.
Beer slushies you say?
Don't get your hopes up, you will not find beer slushies at your local 7-11. I know because I looked lol.
For some reason (probably some kind of advanced chemistry reason), beer does not taste as good after it's been frozen.
Thought this might fit for anyone who is watching their weight.
Even dogs dislike "the weigh in scale".
Today has been a cold, grey bucket of suck, but this is the capper: got home to find a letter from a local court dinging me for not paying a ticket. That I didn't get. I was in an accident on 12/21, but it was the other driver's fault (I was stopped at a stop light and she hit me from behind while turned around to do something with her child in the back seat). The officer had us exchange info, she admitted fault to both him and me, and to her insurance company. I just got my car back yesterday, FFS. This is for a ticket issued on 12/22. I didn't even drive my car on the 22, because I was waiting around home all day for the insurance adjuster to call! SO. Either the officer screwed up royally, or someone has my name and addy on a driver's license and is using it. Either way, I'm mad as hell (and it takes a LOT to push me beyond irritated).
I'd be furious, too, skimom2 ! You can easily fight it, of course. But that involves wasting a day in court. I hope you can get it straightened out over the phone. Or, better yet, you insurance adjuster can do it for you.
I called the court today, and there's nothing they can do without the officer who attended both events (wreck and ticket) getting involved. I can't get hold of him until Monday. The ticket was issued to a 1998 Chevy Blazer at 9 in the morning on the 22nd. I've never even driven a blazer--lol. I suspect the cop didn't clear out my info from the night before and got the info from two events linked together. He'd better be able to clear this up or I have a big can of this to unleash:
If that guy has at least one brain cell left, he should figure out pretty quick that you are one hundred times smarter than he is and he best not tangle with you!!!
Pretty much--lol. It takes a lot for me to get really mad, but when I do...not something anyone wants to be around. I scare myself sometimes.
I am angry today because it is not quite time yet.
It will be soon.
But I guess I'm not as patient as I thought I was.
Maybe "angry" is the wrong word.

Got my copy of The Lost Novels of Bram Stoker in the mail the other day. Been wanting to read these books (The Jewel of the Seven Stars, The Lady of the Shroud, and The Lair of the White Worm) for some time now--mainly that White Worm deal, as I've been told it's one weird, surreal tale. But, after a glance at the table of contents, I see that what I have is the furshlugginer edited edition of Lair of the White Worm, cut by about 100 pages--from 40 chapters down to 28.
Words cannot express the rage I feel. Well, okay, it ain't that big a deal...but, dang it, I don't do abridged editions of anything. The only reason I bought the damn book was because the reviews on Amazon led me to believe it contained the full text of Lair. All the other editions were either cut (like mine, grrr) or edited to conform to our modern PC mentality (another blasphemy in my book).
Anybody know where I can find an uncut, unabridged, bloody unexpurgated copy of The Lair of the White Worm by Stoker?

Just a thought ma'am that might expedite getting this matter cleared up. When you do talk to the officer that issued the ticket, ask him for his email address. If possible, email him a scanned copy of the actual ticket. Officers write so many, it's hard to keep any single one in your head. Actually looking at the ticket will jog his/her memory and he can also take that emailed copy and forward it to the records division with a note to void the ticket along with the reason. The records division should, in turn, forward the void to the court where the ticket should die as far as you having anything further to do with it. It's one of those cases where making it a bit easier on the officer will most likely make the issue go away quicker and you won't have to waste any more time dealing with it. Anyway, like I said, just a thought ma'am. Good luck.
