I ain't had a beer in a week!

[The Poet]

                   Gentlemen, {and y'all ladies too}

   As I said I ain't had a beer in a week but all that is about to change.
Tomorrow {in 12 hours} I'll get my disability check and can go get me some beer.
   Been getting lots of work done out here on the farm, editing the manuscript for my soon to be published book, cutting and dragging dead wood out of the woods to the burn piles,
but enough is enough and I need me a beer, in fact I have been without beer for so long,
and my liver must be recovered so much by now, I think I'll get me one of those
1/2 gallon 'Rio Grande' jugs of cactus juice {$20.}
a {24} case of Grolsch or Spaten and four cases of Shiner bock.
And the devil can take the hindermost, how about that?

   Anyway ain't been here to the old beard lately but used to hang out here every day.
I even have a gray beard! And I didn't before starting to read the trapper forum and such.
Must have been some kinda suggestion,
but I am writing this  book.
Yeah, that is all I have to do out here on the farm as I am disabled [and out of beer}
but can still get around, the roofing business went to heck after 911 and I would be broke anyway
 as my wreck happened 5 months before 911.

   But the book... I am a natural born story teller but have never written anything longer than short stories.
I am writing a full length book now and it is an interesting way to tell a story.
For the last week or two {I don't even remember how long} since I drank my last beer,
I have suffered profound soberiety and it is horrible but I accomplished a vast amount of work.
But as I said enough is enough and a man need to get drunk and relax some every once in a while.

   It is only 11 1/2 hours now!


                          Y'all take care...♪

I ain't had a beer in a week... 

   Darn!  What a scary thought!

Unimagineable... down right un-American...

I went without a beer for a week once... can't remember when... must have sometime or other though... the thought gives me the chills...

Yours is definitly a tale of caution, Poet. If I quit drinking beer I will be on the look out for work and will avoid it at all costs. Laboring while sober... be strong Poet, your reward is in the mailbox by now I'm sure.

Drink 6 Leinies Reds and reflect on what you have done. You must resolve to turn away from this path of hard labours. I don't think a Poet should have callouses, ruins your credibility!

I've not had one in over ten years and likely will never have another. The day my best friend Billy Doss died I drank a beer in memory of him cuz he loved his beer. That's prolly the last one I'll ever drink. I really hate the taste of it anyway so not drinking it is sure no great loss to me.

With all the meds I take these days alcohol is a strict no-no anyway.

A Belhaven Scottish Ale  - with Steaks , COB Corn, and Potatoes cooking on Grill ,
My oldies radio station on in the background, Don't get much better than that.

Zack Brown Band says it best -

I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
And the ones that gave their lives  -
so we don`t have to sacrifice
All the things we love


Like our chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up


 I love early Fall Weather. Gotta Go turn steaks.......

I just finished reading an interesting study about drinking and death.  Seems that even heavy drinkers have less of a chance of dying in a given length time as someone who does not ever drink a drop.  Guess it could be a lot of things, like not being able to drink because of lots of meds, or the relief from stress that a few drinks provide.  Guess I will just keep having beer for breakfast and find out.  Larry

I am having a Leinenkugels beer right now.

I read this post for the first time last night. I had to read slowly as I was first puzzled, then amused, and finally laughed out loud.

I went to view the profile of the OP but then the server went down I think that maybe someone spilled a beer on it

Poet, I still dont know how real your situation is but am leaning towards the part about your being a Natural born story teller.

You only had to send me a PM with your add and I would give you a beer. Do you know if the postal service has a flat rate box shaped like a beer can?
Thanks

I caught a terrible cold over T'giving and didn't feel good enough to want a beer for a week!

Glad to be over it now....that beer on the back porch when I get home from work, while I watch the dogs run, sure tastes good.

Had my first one in about 2 months last night.  UFO White - I like to try quirky stuff .

Truthfully though,  that one came from a six pack I bought mostly because I need some more bottles.   I don't like beer a WHOLE lot (I usually drink spirits - and usually rum - when I do want to drink), but I'm setting up a batch of Honey Kolsch beer for a camping trip that some friends and I always take on memorial day weekend, so I need 48 or so bottles ready for that .  Already had 15-16 set aside, so I need to drink a few six packs within the next month or so .

Had to lay off for two weeks in Feb. due to surgery.... and now I am on a diet, so I restrict myself to 2 a day.  Boy, does that second one on the porch taste good!
