Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots to get the party started.

Now enjoying a Nutty Martini; vodka and half an ounce of Frangelico. Nothing complex. Just a hazelnut-flavored Martini.

Relaxing after a stressful week.

Office politics.

I love you all…

1. Can God create a square circle?

Thought I'd ask a simple question.

[Aristus]

2. If there was a god, sure.

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. OK, I will take that as a maybe. 8 years of Jesuit education made me an agnostic.

[Aristus]

6. The embrace of self-described Christians of Trump did it for me.

And Mrs. Aristus. We are happy, proud, liberal atheists.

[Mopar151]

8. Don't need God!

Just a cylindrical solid, with height equal to diameter. It will appear round in one view, square in 2 others.

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. LOL, diagram please....cuz my pea brain can't conceptualize.

3. Are cracks to Trump's personality permanent, or will he recover IF acquitted?

I mean, I have my ideas, but I must defer to a clearer mind.

[Aristus]

5. My mind is not terribly clear right now.

Haven’t had this booze on board since December. If we’re lucky, the cracks will last unto death. Which, if there was a God, would be soon.

7. Do you have any Chambord at home?

Mix equal parts of Frangelico and Chambord to make a PBJ. It really does taste like a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich.

[Aristus]

10. I don't. I'll have to get some.

I’ve tried peanut butter whiskey, too. And I like it. I just haven’t committed to buying a bottle yet.

9. Ever had this "Frankly" brand? I like it and its organic.

11. Congratulations on your successful food plan

I saw your post in passing. About your jeans. Great job!

Do you think you'll stick to your plan, or some parts of it? I thought I'd stay low carb forever, but as soon as I started adding a few carbs back, I lost my resolve.

[Aristus]

12. No. It's so good to have a drink again!

I’ll just keep lifting weights and increasing my cardio.

[emulatorloo]

15. Yes! That's the way to go. If only I'd follow my own advice.

So happy to hear about all your success. And tonight’s cocktail sounds delicious.

[Tree Lady]

16. Today I got my order of steps with risers

Class I take twice a week Better Bones and Balance has 4 months off soon. Been helping me a lot. Dog walks weren't enough.

Now food, you have me there, I am addicted to sugar especially chocolate.

[Ocelot II]

13. I just sampled St. Elizabeth's Allspice Dram at a friend's house.

I'm not usually a fan of liqueurs - they tend to be awfully sweet - but I really liked this stuff. Will have to acquire a bottle. https://alpenz.com/product-allspice.html

[chillfactor]

17. Your drink sounds pretty potent..

a few sips and I would be out like a light. just sipping away on my cheap wine.

[Aristus]

19. Well, I'm definitely floating a little.

[kimbutgar]

18. Is the Hokey Pokey all that it's that it's all about?

[SunSeeker]

20. Cheers!

[niyad]

21. And we love you back. Are the politics as bad as at your previous

clinic? Different??? weird??

So, the dilemma I faced this week: Kentucky, Tennessee, or Irish whiskey? Although. . . given politics, two out of the three are out, yes???

[Aristus]

22. Irish, definitely.

Don’t give your money to red states.

The office politics are actually worse at my new job. Probably because they were pretty much non-existent at the old one. They just left me to get on with the job. But it was the job that was killing me.

I’m kind of being micromanaged right now. Once I have my primary care position, it should end. Providers in urgent care and the float pool get no respect.

[niyad]

23. I realized as I was typing that, of course those two are out! Silly me,

since I do boycott what I can.

I am so sorry that the politics are so bad at this job, as I know yiu thought things would be better. I hope you get the new position quickly.

[Dulcinea]

24. Very busy 2 days.

I moved my daughters out of their college dorms yesterday & today. I'm very tired, but am enjoying a lovely cold beer to help me decompress. This is exhausting.
