“... just like the hini flu”.
There’s a hini flu? Is it sort of like the tushy flu or more like the butt-butt flu?!

Ain’t tried that one. Looks good. I’d better make that a priority.

Right on the money! After one of those, for medicinal purposes, you need a couple of them straight, no ice, just to make sure the medicine kicks in. Otherwise, it would be a waste.

I don’t have insurance either. At 63 and in excellent health, I still can’t get a rate that is less than a couple of doctor’s visits a year for check ups. It is a faith thing with me. To each their own.

Isn’t that called “Rock ‘n’ Rye?”
Rye whiskey, lemon juice, rock candy
Never tried it though.
When I was a kid we had warmed brandy with honey.
