Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

And if that is one of the options, it is HIGHLY superior to iron pills. I got put on them once after I lost a chunk of my GI tract to Crohn's (45 cm ileum, ileocecal valve, cecum, 3 cm colon; experimental end-to-end anastomosis; the joy!). That surgery left me with bile salt diarrhea, so when I say that iron pills will constipate the heck out of you, LOOK OUT!

Learn to love/like/tolerate liver. As with all things, some are better than others.

Or you can spend good money on my friend's specialty, foie gras. He's currently executive chef at a new French restaurant in Chicago, Marchesa. He grew up in Bergerac, which explains his specialty. He now offers a chicken liver paté, which is ABFAB! When he had his own bistro-style restaurant on Clark (Cyrano's) for 20 years, he usually had an appetizer with 3 different house-made patés. I always started with that.

You'll find something that works for you. :thumbsup:

Just watch out for those f'ing iron pills. :poop: NOT

By some mean chance today I bought paté and come home to read this. That was a purchase after the doctor's visit. (I won't eat truffles because of the cruelty to dogs and pigs part.) Yes I'm good with foul's liver, but not necessarily goose (and stay away from it because of the truffles thing). So how about that tenderloin stuffed with mushrooms and chicken livers?

Hard pass on beef and calves liver. Can't get it past my nose. Love monkfish liver.

Right, then, the doctor. That's a five day stretch since she sent me to the horsepistol. The downside is I stay on blood thinners. The upside is, I live :cool: and travel to Chicago Tuesday
 
Had Ponce de León truly found the Fountain of Youth, I estimate the probability he would share the discovery with the rest of the world is zero.

I think Ponce did share it with someone....Dick Clark....

Here is a picture of Dick Clark celebrating his 104th birthday.....

They used to bark, if you mess up, you clean up. Nothing worse than projectile vomit flung from a spinning ride.

We went to a small carnival when we lived in StL. We had warm beer and a corn dog then rode The Octopus. lol. If I had the space I would have one of those and a Scrambler in the back yard. Loved those rides but not after warm beer and corn dogs.

And none of that electric motor powered stuff either. Has be be a gas engine so you can hear it speed up!

I'll wave at you as you're landing! I have my appointment with the French visa office downtown Chicago Wednesday. Flight to Paris 7 August, so I will have to PLEAD and pay any and all expedited charges to get it back from the consulate in D.C. by the 6th.

As we said behind the curtains...break a leg!

It was bad luck in acting to wish someone good luck with their performance (or, in your case, travel). Our black cat. :laugh:
 
Those that worked there saw what went on at the after hours parties. A friends brother joined them on the road. He fell for the lifestyle and it didn’t end well. It put a lot of stress on their family.

I had a "friend" tell me the summer after I graduated high school he could get us jobs working in a carnival. Yeah, I'll get back to you on that... And another "friend" the next summer say he could get me and another guy jobs waiting tables at TGI Fridays in Memphis. Yeah, I'll get back to you on that...
