So, every time before I walk a significant distance?

It's what I was told to do, and it seems to work pretty well. I just take two ibuprofen before doing something strenuous.

Actually, I'm surprised dry towns are BYOB.

I just found an 8 minute and 10 second season 2 outtakes video for Veronica Mars, on YouTube [link] Outtakes featuring a Buffista person of interest * Joss Whedon * may be found at about the 3:25 mark.

We even have liqour stores that sell gas too.

If only they'd also sell guns and ammo....

Skipping way too much to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Lyra Jane's birthday. I haven't seen posts from her in quite a while, but I hope the well-wishes find their way to her, somehow.

Also, since I will soon log off for the weekend, I'll post already that Saturday, the 9th, will be Spidra's birthday, and send early wishes her way, as well.

I'm pretty sure Maine didn't open up till after my family had moved away. And, I'd never been to agrocery store in New Hampshire. (But that state sells things like fireworks! We know they are all deviants.)

(Seriously, my main experience of NH was the gigantic liquor stores right off the state border that catered to highway purchasers hoping to avoid sales tax. Liquor stores and fireworks stores: a whole state devoted to the Darwin Awards.)

They have corking fees at restaurants around here, so I'd never thought of it as a dry town thing.

I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant in a wet town that had a corking fee, and even in dry towns it varies. I'm pretty sure that Arlington doesn't allow alcohol at all (or, it does now, to like 20 licenses per year), but Chilmark you just brought your own and had them uncork it for you.

It's really a bit headspinny, how much it's changed in 10 years. When I finished college, there was extensive discussion of the need to hit the liquor store the night before, because graduation was on Sunday and you wouldn't be able to resupply on the day.

I just take two ibuprofen before doing something strenuous.

Ibuprofen isn't an anticoagulant like asprin, is it?

maybe, maybe not.sometiems it is worse than others and actually, the more you can move ( without causeing pain) the better

Wal-Mart super center. You can get booze, gas, guns, ammo, food, and a lawn tractor all in one stop.

I remember grocery shopping in Ann Arbor on a Sunday morning and getting to the checkout where they told us we couldn't buy the wine until noon. Not sure why this struck me as more weird than Canada and the government controlled liquor stores.

I think we abandoned the cart and wandered around the strip mall until just past 12, and then resumed checkout.

Liquor laws are the strangest laws there are. In Georgia, you can't sell any liquor on Sunday, except at restaurants and bars that do more than 50% of their business in food. For years, liquor stores had to be able to physically separate beer and wine from liquor, so many of the older liquor stores have interior sliding doors that they haven't used in years. Grocery stores can only sell beer and wine, so I've been kind of startled by hard liquor on sale at grocery stores in other states.

In a further strange twist, in Tennessee you can wine and hard liquor in liquor stores, but not beer, which is mostly sold in grocery stores.
