I've drunk the modern day USA absinthe....Nothing to write home about in flavor or effects. No visions or bats. I think in previous formulations it was far more potent. The pouring it over a sugar cube thing is kind of interesting, though.

Mom and Dad always allowed us a sip of whatever they were having at cocktail hour. Learned early that I didn't like most of it (kids have a palate for sweet, not gin martinis) I never did get drunk in high school. College was another matter, though. Cheap wine is worse coming back up than going down, but a good lesson. Now could be considered a teetotaler as I have maaaaaybe three glasses of wine a week. The kids, however (in their thirties) are big time into wine tasting and collecting. I just snicker as there are so many other things to spend $$ on that will last longer (like would you rather have a Brinsea or a bottle of wine?), but can also remember when I was their age and my ex was into the same thing. Nowadays the selection at Trader Joe's is a perfect fit for our tastes and lifestyle.

Deb,
Every time I've worn a tee-shirt around a horse without fail I've ended up as a big Kleenex, quicker if it's a white shirt.

I would select the bottle of wine over the brinsea. With the rate our birds have been broody this fall, I'm afraid of what spring will bring. I don't think we'll be needing to fire up the incubator for quite some time...

To continue with our feed discussions on the thread, what do you guys think of garlic? How often do you feed it, have you noticed any adverse effects?

Hi SCG, when's the new job starting?

I'm not a fan of Brahmas. They look a bit scary to me, and I don't like the feathered legs. I would think they would gather quite a lot of mud...

I had wondered about muddy feet feathers as well, then I also have to think of my soil where I am it's so super sandy would that be issue for digging or collecting mud especially as we have sooo much rain,.. I have the covered area under my henhouse, and I will probly end up throwing some tin over the penned coop area, though I thought I might try a tarp first because I can pull it down on oneside to maybe break the wind whistling thru that area.........anyways back to the muddy feet, so long as it wasnt a potential health issue (??)I'm indifferent about it, not like I want to show them. I think the feathered feet are cute well least ones I have seen with heavy feather the one or two feathers on the leg looks a lil plucked to me lol

Glad your not in jail! I need to go to a show just to look at the birds. I will keep an eye out for a local one to go to.
