This friggin' dog is such a drama queef! Took her to the groomer's and first, she's all skittery about going in the damn store (Petco), then inside the grooming bit, she's climbing all over me, presumably because she knows what's about to go down.
About 20 minutes later, they call me and ask if she's ever been to the groomer's before because she's losing her shit and won't let them trim her. So I just paid forty bucks for a bath and toothbrushing.Gonna try a different place, I guess. This dingy broad does not want to see any pics of the last time I tried to cut my own bangs.
They always say dogs take after their owners

They can’t.
Not the kind with wormwood anyway. Or thujone, the wormwood extract that’ll fuck you up quicker than sayin the ginger.
The “legal” absinthe you can buy here, is BS. Go to Spain if you want to trip like a poet.

The American kind can have 10% thujone (the wormwood component) and the European kinds can have up to 35%. From what I've read, the thujone levels would have to get into the toxic levels before it would make someone hallucinate or trip. Thujone is a pretty toxic substance by itself so I guess the FDA or whatever just decided to pull the reigns in to be safe.

@broncosmitty here's some of what I read
"At the end of the nineteenth century, the society began to really enjoy absinthe, and so its demand increased rapidly. Absinthe was slowly made the symbol of alcoholism and made responsible for crime, violence, alienation, and social collapse.
The anti-alcohol lobby chose absinthe as their main target. They joined forces with the wine growers, at the time very powerful, and who were seeing their sales suffer through the popularity of absinthe."
"The thujone level must be no higher than 35mg (USA: 10mg)per litre. This is a wise European measure as it allows for the production of absinthes similar to those of the nineteenth century which contained on average 6mg of thujone per litre. Having said that, with a level as high as it's allowed today, you would have to drink at least 5 litres at once, to start feeling any effects of thujone. But to be honest, you'd probably already passed out long before being able to drink that much. • The fenchone level must be no higher than 5mg per litre, and the pinocanphone level, no higher than 20 mg per litre. This limit is only applicable in France."

I’m pretty sure you can get higher percentages over there. Drinking laws seemed to be somewhat of a formality.
But eating a whole tin of nutmeg would be cheaper.

Still livin' the dream, Boyz.
Yesterday evening I went over to a friend of my wife's place to help clean up after a pipe burst and sent water onto the floors of her kitchen and living room. Had to borrow a wet vac from my neighbor. Managed to get the water up without many issues.
Fuck you, winter!
