@bagley920:

My dad gets those a lot Pam. The solution from his doctor, drink beer!

Apparently it helps to break them up

Thanks Bagley, still not convinced it was stones but glad to feel loads better. It was like renal roulette for a while.

@Chris:

Sadly, yes- this is Texas style…

yeeeeah Chris we have some of em in Zurich too but they look cooler in Texas I just mean the difference between the look of the car and the countryside

There should a minimum age for dudes to get their eyebrows waxed, like with drinking.  You can't prevent adults from making terrible choices, but somebody needs to step in for the good of the children.

[davito]

fully understand Chris and I am with you. we have a lot of troubles here as well and probably you know drinking on the streets for example is completely allowed here compared to your country. I live within the "party mileage" of Zurich and see a lot going on. sometimes it is really frustrating, especially then when some bottles or glasses are flying around

I just read that lonesome George was not the last of its kind, which makes me very happy as I think these animals are just beautiful and elegant imo. Seeing that puts a smile on my face. RIP George and live on tortoise species

this is an earlier info from National Geographic:

A little sound advice which I would like to pass on. The mixing of Whiskey, Tequila, Amareto and Blue Moon is a foolish idea, and results in feeling a little unwell.
