Funny story...I bought 18 bags of mulch today to do some yard work. After working 3 hours I asked my wife to get me a beer. I wanted something to drink w/ the 1/2 smoked R&J I left out in the garage from last night. She opened the garage door to tell me that we were out of beer. So I asked her to get me some scotch on the rocks.

I noticed that neighborhood guys were gathered next door drinking beer and checking out my neighbor's 1960-something GTO. I walked over and I was the only one not drinking a beer. They could not believe that I was drinking scotch so early in the day.

Does anyone else think that seems crazy? Maybe it is because most of the neighborhood guys have been forced to quit smoking and drinking heavily. They all drink light beers only on Saturdays and Sundays. I am pretty healthy though. I am only 28 and I workout, but I also smoke cigars 3-4 times a week. I can't but think that maybe one day I will be the 40 or 50-something that is forced to stop smoking cigars.

no biggie.

just don't listen to those ladies.

seems late in the day for me....

Sounds like you need to move to a new neighborhood to me. Whatta bunch of wimps.

As far as quitting drinking and smoking cigars.......Everything in moderation and stay on the exercise program and you should be good for many a year to come.

It's always after 5:00pm somewhere in the world. Drink away.

You bought 18 bags of mulch and you quit after only 3 hours ? ! ?

And, at 2pm, too ? ! ?

Ya Big Wussy . . .

Am I the only one who swallows my mouthwash to start the day right?

It took 3 hours because I had to dig around the bed and carry the dirt and stuff out back.

As far as the drinking goes, many people wait until night time to drink. I don't care what time it is.

I have a long time friend (Jim)He'll drink scotch anytime,so I see it as AOK. The guys in the hood have been coherced into being "This way or else" 🙂 Kim(HV1)
