The Cozy Corner

[Qky75]

@cheekygirl75 Cheerwine is a local soda. It's a black cherry cola. It's really sweet and I've only seen it in North Carolina.

It's in KY too but y'all don't know about Ale8-1

 

[cheekygirl75]

Clearly I need a US geography refresher as well.

And no, don't Google. Especially if you're eating...

I googled

And for anyone else - this was the first result of my googling (no, I didn’t read them all, even my stomach can only take so much!)

Yeah it's not very fun... I prefer just feeding grapes.

I won’t say what happens to the clam chowder, but I don’t know how he’s supposed to do it secretly!!

In a little pouch, inside pocket of his custom-tailored three piece suit...

It always tastes like medicine to me! Skål!

Scrolling back to soda pop discussion...it was a simpler innocent time

Clamps chowder is a deeply personal thing......

I like the specificity. “New England” not Manhattan or the other one.

Was it? I thought I skimmed past a penis octopus at some point. Or was that a different thread

L&P from New Zealand is very delicious and refreshing. I'm partial to citrus ones.

I wouldn't have put tentacle phalluses past this site but I didn't see anything

I adore Jamaican Ting and D&Gs ginger beer but my conscience has an issue with them as the beverage cartel in the Caribbean

Soda aside, it's a Daniel Caesar and Yunnan green tea type of day for me whilst I get through work.

Thank you all for the hugs and well wishes! It's been a day! One of the twins is still fighting it hard. Not out of the woods yet. MWP, by all means if you think you can tackle getting the twins to sleep through the night and on the same napping schedule in the same room together, I'd be forever in your debt! Meal requests? Name it. Done. Unlimited beer and wine. Done. Any other services I can offer? Name your price. I'm all out of ideas, patience and energy.

Cheerwine is bought everytime we go to my mom's hometown and brought back across the US. She still has one from her last trip, but I'm betting no one will drink it. My cousin drank her last bottle once. Only once.

Ale-8 is nasty to me, but my two brothers who lived in KY love it. It's tradition for my SIL to open a bottle and pour on their graves on birthdays.

MWP reporting for duty, but I should warn you… my twin-whisperer services come with a very specific payment plan: unlimited wine (non-negotiable), at least one “you’re a lifesaver” per day, and full creative control over bedtime vibes.

But truly - no price needed. I’ll take one look at those babies, work a little Midwest magic, and have them synced up like a dream… or at least give you a solid 3-hour stretch so you can remember who you are again

In the meantime, you’re doing everything right - even when it feels like you’re running on fumes. Hang in there. You've got my moral support (and backup night shift in spirit)

I bet you read the best bedtime stories, you lifesaver...

Sounds like a fair payment plan to me. Deal! I've worked all the Midwest magic I can muster myself but to no avail. Have at them, Ma'am! You have free reign to work whatever magic you have hidden over there!

Thank you! It's been a rough last year and lately it just feels like there's no end in sight, so I'll take all the support I can get!

In all seriousness - I hope this little cozy corner of this wonderful world of Lit serves as not only a nice distraction, but also a safe place to land for you. We're here for you

I'd buy you a dinner and a beer if I were there. Since MWP is watching the twins anyway.

I truly appreciate that. Lit, and especially this thread has been very helpful lately, so thank you to you and @Shymidwestgirl for setting up camp for everyone in this Cozy Corner! You're BOTH life savers! I'm okay, today was just a rough one. Tomorrow's another day and I'll bounce back. Always do. No other option when it's your kids!
