i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Hi Sherry
I haven't spoken to you before - so this is a good time to greet you
The weather here is bleak and rotten again - I am hoping to get up to the shops for supplies - the weather might do anything
Now - just what I need right now is a calorie-free sugar-fix and someone has left some here - this is a brilliant idea - though I might need to get the real deal while I am out
So - it has turned into Wednesday over-night
Good morning everyone

Hi @Former-Member
I am sorry you are feeling achey and a little down with it - that is not good but alas - the weather is doing terrible things to us
Maybe I should imagine up a platter of interesting little goodies as a pick-me-up - I have to dash to the shops for some real food - really bleak morning here today - but what's different

@TAB ...... not. tmi ..... metabolic syndrome hits the liver hard too ..... have had tests n stuff .... have had melanoma and weird cluster of cancers in the family background .....
You might already know but dandelion tea is good for the liver .... and lots fresh fruit and veg ..... legumes .... whole grains .... lighter eating .... helps to clean and give it a rest .....
Drink lots of water too .... dash of apple cider vinegar in it tastes a bit like cordial (go lightly tho .... too strong taste otherwise) and cleanses liver too .....
Breathe ..... walk ..... get healthy .....

@Faith-and-Hope yes to suggestions, just a matter of 'doing' fresh fruit and veg costs arm and a leg here plus not much choice, yes re tonics, do some, have really let things go, prob was worse few months ago and at times during last couple years had ok test prob 6mths ago, prob put blinkers on after that, may just head to city and camp there for a while re services etc .. decision time
