Yeah, that's just silly.
There's hardly any water around anywhere.

Idaho Gold? That stuff made from potatoes and winter squash?
I can see how it would go down easy after chugging half the first bottle.
I’ve popped the corks out of wine that had that same trait. If you can force down the first glass, the rest of the bottle tastes like Chateau Lafitte Rothschild, 1976.
Single tablespoon of whiskey? Mixed with honey and lemon, and heated a little, perhaps? Sounds like the old frontier cold remedy. People got better in self-defense.
That is an old frontier cold remedy, but I don’t have a cold right now.
When Hubby and I went to Scotland, I bought a whiskey glass in Oban. It holds one tablespoon, and that’s about all I drink, seriously.
Hey, I only used alcohol as a pain medication.
Yes, most drinkers do. And there are all sorts of pain.
NOTE TO SELF:
Camping has declared May 21, 2011 to be the date of the rapture, with Oct 21, 2011 the date of Christ’s return and the destruction of the Earth. Camping claims that all churches are evil and that anyone attending a church when the rapture comes is damned and without hope.
Since his original declaration of 1994, Camping’s views have drifted further and further from orthodox Christianity. Camping’s latest heretical teachings include:
•A denial of total depravity and original sin. (Harold Camping, “Please explain what Romans 2:14...”)
•Annihilationism; the view that life will end and existence will cease for the unsaved soul. - (Harold Camping, “To God be the Glory!”)
•Modalism/Oneness; a denial of the Trinity stating that Christ is a mere mode of God, not a different person within the Godhead - (Iron Sharpens Iron, Radio Broadcast, Debate with James White, http://mp3.sharpens.org/ISI/20090729ISI.mp3)
On May 23, 2011, two days after Harold Camping’s predicted rapture of believers, Bible-believing churches around the world will open the doors and the Law and the Gospel will be proclaimed in Word and Sacrament and Christ will still commune with His people on Earth. Churches will welcome those who, deceived by Camping’s lies, find themselves still here.
More than likely, Harold himself will still be alive, pondering how to spin his latest failure. Here’s hoping that those misled by the false prophecies of Harold Camping find a Bible-teaching church and abandon the Family Radio cult.
Hey i have happened to be playing around with the Julian Day Calculator and i’ll post the link at the end of the post but i found out that two of Harold Camping’s main calculations are wrong and here they are.
722.500 days from April 1st 33 AD only brings us to May 20th 2011
April 1st 2011 to May 21st 2011 is not 51 days but 50 days.

Bump for May 22?
It turns out the theory comes down to two numerological proofs. The first proof is based on Genesis 7:4, when God said to Noah: "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." When God referred to seven days, he meant both seven days and seven thousand years, because "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." The flood occurred in 4990 BC. Seven thousand years later is 2011... The second proof looks at the significance of the number of days between the Crucifixion and May 21, 2011. There are 722,500 days between these dates. 722,500 is a significant number because it is composed of the significant numbers 5x10x17x5x10x17. Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion; and 17 signifies heaven. The numbers represent the day of redemption (5) and the Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17) -- and these factors are doubled for added significance.Doubled because the whole calculation (such as it is) doesn't work unless one doubles it. Are there actually FReepers loony enough to buy Camping's b.s.?
Day after my oldest son's birthday.
Oh! My poor Civ! The entire world is doomed, and you don't even get a full weekend. That is just so sad. :-(
My son’s response was, “Really? On a Saturday?”
Does anybody have a calender handy?
