Quarks and Quantum Reality are extremely important but man, soooo dry.

And I agree, wine is a truly evil thing on the waistline, shame it tastes so darn good

The least damage comes from dry read wine. Unfortunately, I like semi-sweet white wine and beer, too. Scotch itself is not too bad, but my ritual involves also lots of nuts and a can of Pepsi...

Alcohol is problematic not because it contains that many calories (unless you go for sugary cocktails), but because it's metabolized first and the fat is never reached...

We visited my mom last night, and one of my SILs had left a nice bottle of red there from the last time she visited. Heh-heh; her loss, our gain.

You better get rid of Sex on The Beach, too!

Yeah, better stick to the dry reds. What I do will make wine lovers sick, but I dilute it with a lot of ice. That's how I get passable quantity.

I wish I lived a bit further out of the city, I've always wanted to go to a firing range. I've only ever shot a gun like twice in my life.

I'm about to do a little experiment.

That's too bad, it is really fun.

I've gotten to shoot some fun stuff.. bought my pistol for cash via private sale 6 months before my 21st

I do love the smell of gun smoke.

I've shot a few shotguns in my life. And I didn't care for it.

My uncle loves to hunt, but we live where there's a ton of country and he can fire his guns anytime he wants and no one would say a word.

Cute site!
My mother puts ice in her wine. I just can't do it.

I'm not a snobby wine lover though. I don't think I've ever spent more than $20 on a bottle, and my two current faves are $12 or less. Cheap wine is good wine in my book! lol
