Anyone know of a liquor store open on Christmas?
I've downloaded it, clicked the aax folder and now I'm not sure what to do.
Thank you
In the Odyssey it is often repeated that before serving wine they first served single drops as libations to the gods. Did these drops go into the cups or where they drop on the earth? By the description, it seems as if they went into the cups but then if they were going to be drank by mortals it doesn't seem as a libation. I am also looking for sources on ancient greek religious practices in general.
I currently have a mix of moon and eclipse water in a glass for Zeus and Hera (maybe Aphrodite? I canβt remember if I said anyone else when I poured it) and I feel like it needs replacing so what should I do? I feel like itβs be rude to pour it down the sink like I would any old drink but then when Iβve heard of people pouring it into the ground itβs been for Cthonic deities.
Also does anyone know whether I shouldβve put the moon and eclipse water in the same cup to begin with?
Allow me to begin by saying there is a good chance that another Disco Animal here posted something similar in the past, and furthermore, I do not care.
As is often the case with games with such depth, I enjoy accompanying it with a cocktail. Depending on the tempo and reflexes needed to succeed, the beverage of choice changes. For example, beer makes me better at Mario Party while Rum (by some unknown mechanism) makes me more excitable and better at twitch games, rogue likes, and some FPS. With that in mind, what are your favorite drinks to help you regain the lost fragments of HDB's shattered psyche?
The general consensus amongst my group is that bottom-to-mid shelf scotch really brings out the best (worst) of us and enhances the experience. The songs at whirling seem just a little more lugubrious. Morell's pleading tugs a little harder at the heart. Cuno's taunts get deeper under the skin.
Editors note: I played one night at the end of the summer drinking only Tequila Sunsets and wound up taking my d**k out on discord before attempting to ring-and-run my neighbors on the block. I'm 35 years old - not a good look, but speaks to the validity and efficacy of that cocktail.
I was wondering because I heard initially wine cults were made up of more marginalized sects of Greek society and that made me curious to know if the practice was still "standardized" amongst them. Actually I am also curious in general what, if any, were "standard" practices across Greece. Would be grateful for any info!
This is a repost from a couple of years ago that I stupidly managed to delete :(
Story is from about 20 years ago, back when I was still thin(ish), still pretty & still had all my hair. In the gap between finishing my A-Levels & going to University I got a temporary job in a town centre pub populated by people from all walks of life. It did serve food so hopefully Iβm in the right place. Itβs a horrible clichΓ© but this place was a proper british boozer- you genuinely had builders next to lawyers next to OAPs on every table, all talking to each other like family. Quiet after 7pm on weekdays but Friday/Saturday was always heaving, especially if the football was on.
One Saturday night, about 10pm-ish, chap comes to the bar. I hadnβt served him previously but judging from the stack of empty glasses on his table he and his friends were at least 6 pints in each. I will be Me & customer will be DI (drunk idiot)
Me: βHello sir, what can I get you?β
DI (slurring): βthis is an Irish bar isnβt it?β
Me (bearing in mind the pub is called Scruffy Murphyβs: there are Guinness, Beamish & Jamesons signs everywhere): βerr...... yeahβ
DI: βso youse are all Irish?β Me: βno mate, as you can tell from my accent Iβm local (North West England). The Landlord is from Cork but most of us are from round hereβ
DI: βbollocks, I bet youβre all IRAβ
Me (thinking he must be joking & trying to steer the conversation back to something sensible): βha ha, no, same again is it?β
DI, like a switch had been pressed, went aggressive & raised his voice: βnah, youβre all f*cking stinking paddy terroristsβ
Me: βhang on a minute sir, no need to be like that, weβre all having a good time tonight and donβt want it spoilt, Iβll get your drinks sorted and weβll be fine, ok?β
<side note> despite being both a dork and a ginormous coward, I didnβt look like one- Iβm 6β1β, was reasonably fit, at that point was about 240lbs & sporting a grade-1 shaved head (think rugby prop forward shaped). This has caused me problems with older men trying to assert their manliness/superiority since I was about 15 that I try to deflect by being excessively polite, even for a Brit. </side note>
DI: βyou fcking cheeky cnt Iβm gonna slit your f*cking throatβ, he then proceeds to grab a pint glass and lunge towards me over the bar.
Time stops. Heβs not actually going to go for me is he? Do I duck behind the bar? Do I run away? Curl up in a ball & shout for my mum?

For a libation just obtain the water and/or liquor you would like to use as an offering. Other drinks are not recommended because it is unknown whether the ancestors or spirits will like it. Liquors are the best recommendation besides water for libations due to their overall popularity.
Libations can be poured outside in the dirt or whatever ground is exposed near you. Sidewalks and roads are not recommended because the libation would puddle instead of being absorbed into the Earth. Lakes and bodies are not recommended for libations due to the effect of liquor on the fish and wildlife.
The sink can be used for libations in limited situations where no other appropriate place exists, but the sink does not hold spiritual significance as much as the Earth. You can also use shot glasses on a shrine and dump/refill those daily.
Shiawase.
Not looking for any judgment comments, just helpful information. Babe is 5 months old. Has had exclusively breast milk but feeds from both breast and bottle. Husband and I have our first weekend out in a couple of years. Libations will be had. We have a freezer stocked full of milk so babe will have plenty to eat. If I (around 150lbs, mid 30s) have a number of drinks (enough to be drunk) over two days, how long should I wait after my last drink before I could safely assume the alcohol is out of my milk? For the sake of removing variables, letβs assume it would be six Old Fashions in seven hours, along with a large meal one day and six light beers, including dinner over six hours the second day. Are we talking days? I would pump and dump to keep supply going and avoid engorgement /clogs. Again, not looking for judgment or anyoneβs thoughts on not drinking at all while breastfeeding. Looking for helpful information so I can enjoy a very much needed weekend with my husband and safely feed my babe when I return.
Equate High Performance Protein Shakes. The merchart Wal-Mart offers them to me for an agreeable sum of moneys. Vanilla and Caramel flavors I find indeed to be savory. Am I alone in this pleasure my brothers, yea or nay?
