My mother is messing with my groove. Of course she is..

When I finished uni, I had plans to register as a freelancer. She threatened me with hell if I do so, so instead I spent the past half year trying to find a regular job (when there are NO regular jobs in what I studied, and naturally, nobody wants to hire anyone who clearly spent years learning something else). So I said 'f*ck it', went to get the relevant paperwork and literally everyone is being supportive - except my dear mother, who just made a huge fuss and threatened me with throwing me out just because I want to work the way my job just happens to be AND the way she damn well knew I intended to work from the very beginning.

So, apparently, it's better to be jobless.

Just because SHE is cheating the finance office and got slapped with too much taxes because her accounting is crap does not mean it will be the same for me.

Unfortunately, I've listened to her crap about the evil bloodsucking finance office for so long, I have problems keeping her stupid biases and my own opinion apart *sigh*

She is also spiraling down further into her special brand of xenophobia. I really can't hear it anymore.

I think your mother had a visit at our wikipedia

They really don't give a fuck and their work is awful.
They're Dumb. As. Fuck

An entire day wasted chasing down problems that should not exist, qualified electricians that cant even wire and connect lights.

That's because Canada is on the North American continent, and we all know microbrews from there are just awful.

Not only do you not know what you're talking about, but you do not know what you're talking about.

Our micros are fucking legend. Come at me bro. Come at me, hard as you can, right now... RIGHT NOW IT'S ON.

North America has the best range of truly excellent beers (microbrews) and the worst mass produced beer in the world.

Tecate is a terrible product, as is Budweiser. But when you have a Founder's Backwoods Bastard or a Pliny the Younger, you realize just how lovely delicious beer is.

I've drunk a bit in Europe and lots in Nepal/India. There is no beer scene anywhere in the world like there is in many, many locations across Canada and the US.

What's messing with my beer groove is that due to social politeness, I had to give up a North Coast Old Ale (special brewmaster edition) to a guest of my brother's who didn't want hard cider or wine. That's a seven dollar beer and nobody else there but me knew just how good that beer was.

He complimented it multiple times, which mollified me some, but not all the way.

You should have let him suffer. His fault for not bringing something for the host or at least byo'ing if he's so fucking precious.


You wanna talk beer groove mess, the other day the LadyByss gave one of these...






....to a contractor's hipster sidekick who had, earlier in the day, expressed a love for PBR.

If she had done it to attempt to save his soul i could have forgiven her, but "it was the first thing i grabbed".

...


...


...


To make up for this hideousness, and thank me for not taking the logical next step and then hiding the bodies, she went and got me one of these...






... so it all worked out in the end.

Does that not just mean that by comparison, American Microbrews are amazing? I mean, they might not be that great but compared to well known American beer, they are outstanding!!

Always the opposite problem for me. I don't like beer and prefer cider hands down.

There are some really great Microbreweries in America. There is some serious talent here..off the top of my head, beers I've had in the last month or so

Left Hand out of Colorado- solid porter
Did a collaboration beer with Belgium Brewer, Wekken Sour, outstanding
My every day football/party beer is Santo (black Kolsch) from Saint Arnold- out of Houston Texas
Adelbert's Brewery- Scratchin' Hippo- Belgian-style Biere de Garde (I may of butchered that spelling of that)- Austin, Tx
Argus Brewery- have a great Saison- Chicago
Full Stream Brewery- North Carolina
Elevation Beer Company- great Barleywine Ale

I could keep going...forever on beer.. What use to be true about microbreweries in American is no longer true. There is a reason the major shit labels are having to merge together. I have a friend in the buisness and sales for the major beers are no where near what they use to be..

Also love to homebrew..have an ale in the keg right now...

I read that as LadyBliss, thought someone had finally caught the elusive cat and wondered how I had missed this news.

Ugh I hate beer. It's nasty, smelly, and makes my legs hurt. Big turn off to smell it on a lady I want.

When I did drink before I learned it was helping to cause my pain I'd just get a lime, salt & put in Corona but I really liked XX Amber. Hmmm

Hate... beer?

I understand those words separately, but for some reason when combined they become meaningless in my mind.

And did I just read that correctly, it's a turn off to smell a drunk woman?...I'm so confused

[Messremb]

I'm more confused by it making his legs hurt

[Maark Abbott]

Granted, I very much dislike certain styles of beer. Namely lager.

Give me a porter, an amber, a golden... I'm easy when it comes to ale. Though recently I've been much fonder of porter type beers than anything else.

[Morgoth]

Now, let's not go overboard. I love the microbrews of North America. The selection and the quality is astonishing. However, I don't think there's a country in the world able to compete with Belgium when it comes to beer and brewing culture.

[Maark Abbott]

I've yet to try a Belgian beer that I enjoyed. That said the ones available here tend towards wheat beers and I'm not hugely fond of those.

[Maark Abbott]

So I encountered this little quote yesterday and due to personal circumstances from some four years back it punched me square in the feels.

"You're underestimating the pain someone has to endure when they can't protect someone they love. They will drag it inside of them for the rest of their lives."

It's not often I have to run and find my cat for cuddles, but this was one of those times.

EDIT: mobile browser, don't fail me now.
