> [@JaneDoe42](#): > > You finding mail in the road like that is horrifying. It’s good of you to make such an effort to get it to safety. Did you notice if it was postmarked? Didn’t really notice one way or the other, but there were multiple senders, most of which I recognized as banks, insurance companies, government agencies… I really don’t think it was a carrier issue, since today’s Sunday. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > I miss Hickory Farms. They don’t have any stores out this way ☹ They’re seasonal here. Just got back from BevMo. DH is partial to ginger beer (non-alcoholic, of course, basically a stronger-flavored version of ginger ale) and they usually have a better selection, especially in the no-sugar varieties, than other stores. Not so much today, but I found him a couple of different brands and a third at Walmart (he likes variety). Also got myself some Flying Cauldron butterscotch cream soda (not sugar-free). ---

Wow, sounds like we should have mailed our packages last week! Stay warm and dry! > [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > TJ’s had gooshy food? I haven’t been in one for years, but yeah, they had grain-free gooshy fud that ours loved. The crunchies also had good quality ingredients but nobody would even try it so I put it out for the strays. They weren’t nearly as picky and ate every bite. I bought some hairball treats from the jungle and started dispensing them. Crabby old cat, who has never once had a hairball loves them and starts banging his tin cup against the bars as soon as I open the bottle. VBC likes them so much she pushes GG away from his. GG, who is the only longhaired cat in the colony doesn’t think they are worth bothering with. I’d like GG to eat them, but seeing as how VBC is his head groomer, it’s probably best that she gets more of them. I have no idea what to do about hard to pill dogs but I have heard that many dogs love grapes and carrots. I have also heard that dogs shouldn’t have them so maybe I should back out of this discussion. I did more tai-chi today and it was fun again. I think this is something I will keep doing, it makes me feel good. It also makes me feel bad-ass cause hubs pointed out that tai-chi is a martial art. (I thought it was just old fart yoga) Next time some jerk assaults an innocent person, I won’t need my cane, I’ll just tai-chi them into submission, LOL!!! When I talked to Mom today, she remembered that she wanted to sign up for an exercise class but forgot the name. She is going to call me when she is getting lunch so I can remind her what it is called. She’s also going to tell me when the classes are so I can call and remind her to go and stretch. ---

Not even when I was young, LOL!!! BTW, hubs has branched out to porters. The one we shared tonight had a nice mouth feel and tasted of coffee and chocolate. If someone were to ship bottles of carbonated liquid that really did need to stay upright, how would they best do it? ---

Seattle eliminates the Lions before the game, the Lions eliminate the packers. NFC _Götterdämmerung_ for the last game of the season. : headdesk : > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > If someone were to ship bottles of carbonated liquid that really did need to stay upright, how would they best do it? Shrinkwrap over the bottle tops. because with automation, the box is gonna go inverted. ---

Which kinda sucks. I think about some of youse guys when hubs makes a super good batch but hubs says that shipping the beer before it has carbonated will kill the yeast or turn it into beer bombs and doing it after it has fully carbonated will do other really unspeakable things which will cause it to be undrinkable. Sigh. I’m all full of good intentions… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-its-sorry-what-year-is-it-mmp/977511.md?page=17)
