Only this summer did the laws change in this state allowing liquor sales between 8 am and noon and Sunday. Still not permitted b/w 3 am and 8 am.

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

I don't think to the same extent, buf if/since you have an issue (like your eye or whatever), I'd check with your doctor, first.

(But that state sells things like fireworks! We know they are all deviants.)

I think, too, that fireworks are (at least now) illegal to use in New Hampshire. You can just sell/buy them there. Dirty dirty dirty Cow Hampshire.

I've been kind of startled by hard liquor on sale at grocery stores in other states.

That would startle me, too.

It is, although it doesn't have as strong an anticoagulant effect. If you have to watch out for that, you may have to hit your doctor up for a prescription NSAID.

It's in the same class of drugs, NSAIDs

In NS, there are about a handful of places to buy liquor that aren't gov't controlled stores. There is one BYOB resto. But Halifax has more bars per capita in Canada. No one would every call us dry. My favourite quote about Halifax is "the business of one half of the town is to sell rum, and the other half to drink it."

You can buy beer, wine, and spirits in grocery stores around here. Just not here here. My little town is dry. No liquor stores, no bars, no beer/wine/spirits in grocery stores. I have no idea why. Keep in mind, we're right on the border of Chicago where all that stuff is fine.

Of course, my town is also the one that has a sign at the city limits that reads, "Nuclear free zone." We're a bit hippy-ish.

I'm pretty sure Maine didn't open up till after my family had moved away.

Hmm, it seems like they've been doing so all my life, and I KNOW they were at least as far back as when I was in elementary school, so we're talking 30 years at least. The weird thing now are the "Agency" stores where you get, say, a CVS selling hard liquor becuase's there's no official state liquor store in the vicinity. I don't remember that being the case even as late as when I was in college.

Liquor stores and fireworks stores: a whole state devoted to the Darwin Awards.

"Live Free or Die" sounds as good a motto for the Darwin Awards as I can think of.

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.

Even there, not before noon. Can't interfere with church time, I guess.

The convenience store near me in Atlanta used to have a line at five minutes to midnight on Sundays, waiting for the beer coolers to be unlocked again.

flea! A very pleasant un-birthday and a great second-day-of-your-new-age! [Edit: I didn't know that yesterday was your birthday - it wasn't on the Buffista Calendar.]

OK, and now I really must go. At least I won't feel bad for ignoring each and all of the ongoing conversations around my posts.

What's the noun for "obtain"? I want to make a bullet entry in a status report that has things like "Completion of XYZ" and "Creation of ABC" in it, and I'm blanking on how to say I've obtained hardware in the same grammatical format.

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

Party time!
