I'll head to the kitchen, stand there in front of the refrigerator, and
wonder what I came for. Then I'll spot a beer, grab it, and say to myself
"Must be this."

Beyond these frequent mental lapses, I also find myself asking (in tones of
justification): how can anyone truly claim to be German if they have never
felt the passion behind a little liquid love? :wink:

Not sure how old you are JB, but i'm 57 and love my St. Pauli Girl as much as
30 years ago. I just don't drink as much. It will be a challenge when the Doc
says start taking meds. BTW, beer is mentioned in one of the Psalms or
Proverbs, so it is nothing new. A gift of God in my opinion. John

How OLD? You mean how YOUNG don't you? Young enough to still makes waves, but old enough to know better. :wink: I still trip and stumble with the best of them, so I can't be that old yet (or does just the opposite apply?).

St. Pauli Girl, yes such a sweet spot. Just that lovely depiction on the emblem alone is enough for me to sit up and pant a little, and how can any good American not appreciate the word IMPORT, at least when it comes to ales. I used to have friends smuggle me in past customs some choice beers from breweries near Bonn, er.. if you know what I mean. No one was any the wiser, 'cept me. Mostly ones with "Hell" in the title, so you were assured it was going to be good (he he). [alright alright Hell = light or pale]

Tell that Doc of yours he can deprive you of all the sinfully good things in life, but hell if he's going to take away your spirit(s). "Doc, cut me some slack here" always seems to do the trick. They know the bit, since most of them imbibe a little too. It's probably the only thing that keeps them from getting sick themselves in those germ infested wardens they're forced to work in. The ones that save the rest of us.

A gift of God :: say it again JRod. Some even say proof the Lord exists. :slight_smile: Jb

What does this have to do with genealogy?

Hey Ron, do you have anything better to do? Is this the extent of your contributions?

Maybe you ought to follow the entire thread. Or learn to use the DELETE button. Chip in something worthwhile when you're ready. Or go back to stick figure genealogy.

Bottom's up. Jb
