Unlike cheap booze, this is not something you guzzle and abuse. You want to maintain your senses and take your time.

There are few things more relaxing than a fine bourbon. Take a sip. Let the cool warmth make its way down. Savor the rich aftertaste that only comes from years in a properly treated barrel. The woody, almost caramel essence.

FINALLY! A solution to the problem that has vexed me all evening. One that I could not quite put my finger upon. Ima go fetch it now.

I'm very proud of Sidekick right now. I know she is dying to call and tell me every weird thing that happened but she knows I don't want to hear it.

@skematica My wife's family is very tame in comparison to the snake handling factions. Seems like it's just a bunch of guilt and covered dish dinners.

My childhood experience with them was a snake handling outfit in a very rural part of WV. They live in a very different world than the rest of us. I was raised Freewill Baptist but it never took. Services were held in a former one room schoolhouse dating back to the mid 1800s. Oppressively hot in the summer and deathly cold in the winter.

That only applies to Methodists and Baptists. Pentecostals are a different creature altogether.
