Don't mention drinking - not after that last bottle we opened last night -
after three excellent merlots, the fourth was a dog and I have a tight head
now...

Lots of juice and herb tea.

Should get some B Complex, supposedly it will help my insomnia.

But milk thistle - that grows here...

Fortunately, I never drink too much. I pass out first.

Not that I would know but you might try niacin. It maintain the levels
of alcohol dehydrogenase, the first step in detoxifying, uh, so I've
been told;-)

I assumed you never entered de-tox.


I rarely have more than a glass or two of anything. And that last bottle
didn't seem to be the quality of the first two. That's my position and I'm
sticking to it...


Today - just good healthy food and drink.

But milk thistle - that grows here...

It also comes in Extract capsules at both health food stores and in the
herbal section at Wal-mart. It has numerous health benefits, no side
effects, and is especially beneficial in protecting the liver from
alcohol abuse in many people. It's not 100%, but actual research on it
has shown it to be promising.

I know it works for me. ;-)

It's also helped me with insomnia and, most surprising, my chronic
issues with heartburn.

I DO want to grow it but have not seen any around for awhile. I need to
order some seeds. Supposed to make an excellent salad green and the
entire plant is edible. I'd like to try the young blooms. They are
supposed to taste a lot like artichoke if picked at the right stage and
steamed.

Considering Artichokes are naught but a giant thistle, it makes sense.

Niacin... shudders

Do some googling for studies on Milk Thistle.
It's better and it's not just anecdotal.

That is why you start with the best wine first. With any luck , you
won't notice any defects in the last wine:-)
Conversely, you may not appreciate the good qualities of the good wine,
if it is served last.

Today - just good healthy food and drink.

Calm sweet lady, it is more than antidotal.

First, we are having some fun here and perhaps exaggerating a bit.

Ethanol is great fun for some of us, and a catastrophe for others. Some
of us rejoice in it, at the peril of others. I work in wineries.
Needless to say, there are no alcoholics. I don't say that derisively,
if you have that weakness, you can't function in a winery. I don't wish
to exalt ethanol. All I can say is that it is fun for ME. Hell, your the
one who doesn't want to be PC. That's all:-)

I tried to grow some milk thistle this year but it fell victim to the
"hounds from hell". We have a long front fence and the unfortunate plant
laid along the shortest trajectory from one end of the fence to the
other. Trample, trample, trample.

What was it that Hunter Thompson said, "Some people think of their
bodies as temples. I think of mine as an amusement park."

Laisse le bon temps roulé.

Happy solstice :-)

Actually, it went good bottle (a split), decent bottle, really good bottle
(just by accident) and then that not so good one...
