In Egypt it very likely was. Brewing beer was crucial to human development. It marks when humans go from nomads who don't understand farming (hunter-gatherers) to civilization. It also enabled Egypt to become the amazing Dynasty it became. It was a portable, high calorie, drink that didn't easily spoil and enabled warfare, conquest, and even giant public works projects (see Pyramids and other monuments) that simply weren't possible prior to it's advent. Without beer, Egypt (and the rest of the world and human civilization) would have stuttered greatly. It's unlikely humans ever stop being hunter-gatherers without it and/or similar fermented high calorie drinks. IOW, civilization doesn't happen without it.

And it brought about the inventions of the keg stand and the boilermaker.

I’m outside the hospital. Father in law is fading fast from cancer in his liver discovered about a month ago.

The man had like 3 alcoholic drinks a year and never touched a drug or smoked. Diet has always been shockingly bad though. And I’m still living in his house, feeling like I’m in the way, and can’t seem to do anything to change that. More than most anything, I hate feeling powerless and hate feeling like I’m imposing myself on someone

Prayers for you and your father. May God give you His power to help you deal with this.

God placed you there for a purpose. He took you off the ministry field and put you specifically where He needed you to be when you and your wife needed to be where you are. When you feel powerless, surrender it to God and let Him reveal His purpose.

2 Cor 12:9 -- 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

I just dropped THE greatest dad joke off all time.

Have a seat gents…

My son says that he’s seen a new type of gun that apparently shoots salt. Don’t ask me how.

In stride, I ask him?… So this is “A-Salt rifle?”

If you want to have to go to one for the rest of your life, then sure.

I had sciatica pain and was in back pain for months a few years ago. A chiropractor helped me tremendously and I haven’t had to go back. So sorry you are wrong. Chiropractors are very helpful.

 

[Orange Studs]

I just want to say to @Glitch thanks a lot. I couldn't watch the U S Open without every time an announcer said things like, "That's the closet to the hole all day" "He needs to get this close to the hole " or "He came up short on that one" without hearing this in my head.

Do you recommend a particular brand or model of conversion table?

One that’s sturdy and well made. It needs to have a retention strap that allows you to limit the inversion without having to hold it.

Here there’s a local sporting goods store (Academy) that has them priced from $99 to $500. Interestingly enough, the mid price range are the best made. Built better than the $500 one.
Sometimes Sam’s or Costco has them as well.
Don’t break the bank on one. $200-$250 will get you a well made one.

Alright Vol Nation, I need some serious help.

I have a terrible neighbor. She used to harass me a bunch and then I built a privacy fence. But she still didn't get the clue and ended up cutting down some trees on my side of the property line the other week. I filed a report and I'm taking her to court for the $1600 in damages she caused (according to my arborist) and filing a no-contact order. She probably does have legit mental illness. Once told me the Wi-Fi was stealing her dreams and some other crazy things before I built the fence.

But every time I'm in the yard she just stands at her window or on her deck and stares at me. Real creepily. Last night all I could see is her silhouette behind her blinds as I was throwing the ball for my dog, but it was eerie as hell!
I have a 1/3 of an acre, a nice fire pit I built and a deck and can't seem to enjoy any of it.

I need something I can put on my side of the fence that will block her view from her window into my yard. Needs to be 9 ft tall and I don't have time for a smaller bush to grow up.

Immediate thoughts are some sort of mature hedging, or some sort of lattice that I could affix to the top of my fence to block her view but not sure how stable that would be or what options.

Y'all got any practical solutions?

Make her a tinfoil hat and tell her it will block the Wi-Fi so she can dream again. She might just be lookin' for a little lovin'.

After years of dealing with excruciating shoulder pain and being blown off by two orthos, I finallly found one to give me the time of day. I have a pretty bad slap tear. Looks like here comes at surgery! Also said my rotator cuff was frayed, mostly from the abuse it’s took holding my shoulder in place. I dread it but I look forward to being able to do a push up and not be in severe pain.

Happy late Father’s Day to you moran dads. Had a great day of church, fixing the dryer, and mowing the dusty lawn.

But the best part was the homemade cards. My daughters know me too well…

Invite @Weezer to walk around naked in your back yard. You'll never have an issue with her again.

Sciatica pain - anyone ever dealt with it?

Currently in a situation where I'm walking about 10 miles a day on vacation, but I tweaked my sciatica nerve Friday. Ever since, I can only walk for about 5-10 mins at a time before it becomes almost unbearable and have to take a break.

Is there any kind of stretch or a way to get quick relief once it flares up? It almost reminds me of a foot cramp where it gets so bad, but then the right move can get instant relief. I just can't find a repeatable method and have just been sitting for a few mins each time to get it to relax.

When my lower spine becomes totally locked and with swollen knots up and down both sides of my lower spine, before bed I take a muscle relaxer and a full shot of WT 101, then lay on my back on a hard floor, I scooch up to the wall with my legs stretched out up the wall, then ai take a rolled up towel (pillows are too soft)and put it directly underneath where my S1 and L5 join...I will pull my right leg back and bend my knee while pulling it into my chest as hard as I can as my left leg stays straight up the wall, I then repeat this on the opposite leg...it hurts like heck but it will provide max relief.

After doing that for about 10-15 minutes, take a ice pack and put it on the spot for a few minutes and then a hot pack...alternate a couple of times and then go to sleep. It will still hurt and you will be sore, but it will speed up the process of getting better.

I lost interest after something ‘I have a terrible neighbor’ something, what did it say and what am I’m accused of? I need time to get an alibi.
