Not much of a beer drinker nowadays, but back in the day.....the best bartenders I have ever seen were in Dublin, pouring dozens and dozens of Guinness, waiting for the perfect time for them to settle and then serve, along with mixed drinks, wine, etc, etc.  What a show.

You know why they drink other things at the same time with Guinness, because it taste so bad.

Now it is confirmed you have no Irish

None at all, I don't even like the whisky.

once upon a time, i felt the same way.  But, bought some a couple months ago, and suddenly liked it. Well, I’m not overly fond of the Extra Stout; but, the Draught is excellent.

that’s good news, means you’re making money.  Been thinking about getting a job myself. 

Don't do it....it's overrated! 

 

I'm actually looking at a different job, a commercial general contractor wants to hire me. They keep upping their offer, and it's starting to look pretty good.

I've been self employed for 26 years, be a big change.

yeah; but, might be good in some regards. Let him worry about all the business stuff -- you just work and cash your check. 

I don’t “have” to work; but, if i keep spending money like it’s going out of style, i may have to.  Actually, it may make this final year here go faster. Then again, i should probably wait until summer is over ... no need to overreact.

Flowers are a man’s nemesis.  Back in my married days, i finally figured out that the wife wanted flowers on certain occasions. Well, one birthday or anniversary, i stopped on my way home and bought her some flowers. She was pissed. I then learned that the flowers must be delivered to her at work so she can show off in front of the other ladies. 

I give up.

That was her problem.  I had one similar to that once.  Once.
