BeerBorg

Hi. Been a while since I posted here, but I lurked a lot. Thanks Louie for the reminder to log in and explain what I've been up to. Here's the abbreviated version:

Last here, got conical from Brew Demon for guessing date of 200 th member. Was in the chat thing planning next brew.

Life had other plans. Gout, broke ankle, bee sting (benefit of aging is new allergies), dad died, estate hell, reorg my company, car died / replace, launch new product, another bee sting, finish up estate crap next week.

I need a homebrew! Will fulfill promise to post picks of first use of conical in October -- more life events must wait for beer.

In karmic convergence mode, this may happen as the Borg hits 300!

Wow, you've had quite a hectic and run of bad news. I sincerely hope things get better for you soon.

Srsly, hope things work themselves out. Chin up!

Life, all those things that get it the way of what we'd like to be doing.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I hope all rights itself soon.

Sorry about all your troubles.

Glad to your back and I'm sure things will get better for you.

Thanks. I think the worst is past (knocks wood). A couple things to wind up, and then brew nights to look forward to.

Glad found your back to Collective WhyNot!

Even if I had prod you.

Great to see ya back at the saddle. We have missed you.

Wow, sounds like you had a lot of hectic things going on. BUT now is the time to brew, whynot ?

Wow, it never rains but it pours, huh? I'm sorry for your bad fortune, and especially for the loss of your father. But this just points out how much you need the therapy of brewing and the companionship of the Borg. More than one of us (myself included) have used this forum to vent our feelings of loss, frustration, and pain when the Hammering Fist of Life is pummeling us.

And I'm serious about brewing being therapy. I know it is for me, and I'm sure many others feel the same way. It tends to lift a person out of their troubles for a time, and we all need that now and then.

Looks like those bees have a serious hate for you

Geez, talk about a run of bad luck! Here's to the knowledge that it can only get better from here. Hang in there, and welcome back to the Borg!

Yeah, the bees are getting obnoxious. The last one was hiding under the covers and got me went I went to sleep 2 weeks ago. Nowhere but up after that.

whynot I can sympathize with a lot of that except for bee stings, which I understand is very scary if you're allergic. The broken ankle thing, yikes, I remember that without fond memories.

Sorry about the loss of your father, we did the estate thing as well when my mom died and it was ages and ages until we finally got the house ready to sell.

Hope you are back with us for the long haul and can get to brewing again real soon.
