If there aren't any chunks in it I would drink it.

When I was younger I might have, got a tea strainer anyway.
Oh yea, its cream and Irish whiskey. I'd love it if Co-Pilot had just said something along the lines of 'Down it, down it, down it'

Well, the thing CoPilot has probably been trained the most on is not generating lawsuits. It's probably never going to tell you ingesting anything that is expired is okay. Aspirin expired last week? Throw it away...

True. Wonder what can I get Co-Pilot to suggest I do that may result in a minor injury.
Obvs this was a joke, FinnBrits aren't litigious in the slightest.

Speaking of, for some reason, I don't even have the option to add Copilot to my taskbar on my new machine. Weird.

Same on my second laptop. It installed it, but it's not in my taskbar.
I survived my volleyball tournament without any serious injuries. I had no sports clothes or shoes though, but luckily I could borrow some shoes and even some knee protectors from my dad. However, apparently my dad hadn't played any sports in a while either, as the soles fell off the shoes during warm-up...
So I played all four matches on my bare feet. Luckily we only won one of them, so we were eliminated and didn't have to play any more, as both my feet and my arms were starting to hurt during the last game.
My muscles have been pretty sore today, but nothing too bad. There were quite a few injuries though, including from one of my teammates who's pretty sure he dislocated his shoulder during warm-up, but just kept playing.
I love it, but I wouldn't mix it with alcohol.

Yeah… NO! Alpaca hates to admit it, but sides with Llama this time. Wife's tummy will sinki to Hell if she tries that
Irish Coffee
This was my party piece back in the day—couldn't pour a decent Guinness or mix a cocktail, but they came from meters round for my Irish Coffee!
I never saw those mugs with handles used, it was always this glass:
The other difference was we didn't have whipped cream in a handy container. So whisk cold cream in situ and then pour it gently over the back of a dessert spoon onto the top of the drink, so it would spread and accumulate as the separate head you see.
If you're a drinks fan, it's worth a shot—I used to love it in Winter

If I don't post anymore, I died in my sleep from low blood sugar due to giving myself too much insulin this evening by mistake. But rest assured that dying in my sleep is actually one of my top, unfulfilled goals, so I would consider that a huge success. Also, I would like to type out some final words just in case:
@Brian Boru is impatient and cheap.

Attractive tho it would be to RIP you a new one, please hang around a bit longer—I have a nice schedule of abuse lined up for 2024.

Co-op Heaven
Medieval Dynasty Hell
…and a way to get there?
Chariots on Fire
4 Horsemen with Apoplexy

But you're right—I want it to happen soon, and I ain't paying for any of it!

I was trying to find a place for an Irish coffee using Baileys because I've never had one that I remember. The problem is that I cant really drink coffee after around 4pm, and even if I'm on holiday whiskey for breakfast or lunch is a bit much for me these days.Yeah… NO!

I have Baileys on hand and only Scotch or Cognac otherwise. 'Spose I could make a French or Scotch coffee.

People have lost their minds for Buc-ees. It's a massive (roughly the size of a non-grocery Walmart) convenience store/gas station that sells it's own brand of products and sells apparently the best BBQ you've ever tried (I haven't been there yet).
When our store opened a couple of months ago, people came from all over to attend the grand opening. People even drove down from Canada, and that's not a short drive.
Months later, police are still there every day directing traffic.
They have a huge amount of gas pumps and electric car chargers. But it's the Buc-ees brand stuff that people are apparently obsessing over, especially the BBQ which they smoke overnight.

They just opened one about an hour south of me and it's apparently "a thing" here too.
We had a similar thing when In-and-Out opened here about two years ago and I just can't understand why anyone would wait hours for it. I finally tried it for the first time about two months ago and yeah, it's good, but I was also able to walk in and order immediately then sit down. No way in hell am I wasting my life waiting for a fast food burger.
I succeeded in my goal for this week and even went further with it.
My only intention was to complete this group of infantry, but ended-up also completing two vehicles and a 25pdr Howitzer for my British 8th Army. I basically couldn't help myself, as historical vehicles are just so damn quick to paint up.
Now I only have two more vehicles to complete before Mid-February.
Also went through my pictures for this year and found (I think) everything I painted starting in January 2023 and it's quite a lot to my surprise! I always feel like such a slacker, but looks like I've cranked as well as I could for the whole of 2023, given my limited time.

Yeah, that's the Brian Boru Queue there—it is pretty good, I'm so pleased with their effort that I asked them to reserve a place for you beside me… there on the right as you look:
I think I'm going to begin sabotaging all friendships my children have. I'm sick again (at least for the last time this year...) because my oldest caught it from his buddy just before school ended last week and came down with symptoms on Christmas.
Thankfully I have it much more mild than he did, but still.

Zinc lozenges actually work very well for colds, but you have to start taking them the moment you realize you are getting sick. My kids just left for college, but I haven't had but one full blown cold in many years, and that was when my mother passed away, and I didn't take any zinc. I just got tired of getting everything the kids brought home.
Here's a study if you are interested: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3394849/#:~:text=Zinc may also reduce the,astringent on the trigeminal nerve.&text=A recent meta-analysis of,severity of common cold symptoms.
None of the other stuff people claim works actually works except for extremely high doses of Vitamin C, but you have to take so much that you feel sick to your stomach. It isn't fun.
From my experience, if you take a zinc lozenge immediately upon feeling the first symptoms then you likely won't develop a cold at all, but you still need to take a few more after that as directed.

Smoked helps a lot! But what kind of BBQ is this? The kind with mustard in it? That's really a whole different style - I'm not qualified to judge that kind.
I'll have to look into it, because it's a constant around here. When they come home with something, I know I'm next, because I can't just lock them in quarantine...
