Thread O'Booze REVISED!

[revbob]

Just back from my chiropractor, and while I'm not 100% we agreed that I don't need to book another appointment unless things suddenly get shitty again. So I celebrated by getting a bottle of whisky (Forty Creek, if you care about such things). The Boss is also out of town, so I get to drink without fear of being judged.

What kind of chiropractor doesn't try to keep you coming back at least a few times a month?

Also Im always judging.

I've been going since November. But to his credit, after the first few weekly visits, the space between our appointments has grown. Before today, the last one was a month ago. He's forced me to temper my wariness about chiropractors as the ambulance chasers of the medical field.

My take on chiros (other than mainly being Mormon weirdos) is that they try and keep you coming for regular maintenance. I believe they can help but they are also usually weirdos.

I don't disagree, but my dude has been solid. Always willing to talk about technique and philosophy of treatment. And I can't dispute the results. I'm not 100% but in my current state I wouldn't have sought treatment. The degree of discomfort I feel is entirely manageable, whereas back in November I was in genuine pain most of the time.

Everyone knows my basic bitch preference for late addition hops over old money west coast hops, so it should come as no surprise that I’ll order DDH NEIPA.

You're just seduced by his smile.

There's a place in Burlington called Foam that I immediately thought of although thebguy should look more like variations of hipsters. If Im being invited to meet people there I sneak in cans with me because their shit just sucks.

But seriously nothing like going into a place to get a beer, looking at all the options they have and just walking out.

Last weekxl, I went into a pub that had maybe six people in it and waited at the bar for about four or five minutes. Nobody came to serve me, and it was a very nice feeling to stroll out and go to one of the two pubs that were directly next door. Got immediately greeted and had a drink poured on entry, too.

Was it a place you'd gone to before? Just curious whether it might have been a thing about regulars vs. outsiders.

Fuck yeah. There's a place around here which I didn't realize until talking to others that basically ignores anyone they dont recognize. I went once by myself to get a beer so I chalked it up to being crowded. Went again with a few friends for food/drinks late afternoon. Not crowded at all, watched them interact with people thry knew, ignored us for 15min, no menu or anything so we left, I wouldn't go again

There's a neat little pub not too far from my home in the basement of a decommissioned church. A proper place for socializing and having a few drinks. But unless it's empty, damnation, the bartenders' boots are nailed to the floor. I keep going back, tho, because, once you can get a drink, the atmosphere is what I'm looking for.
