    Oh boy, did that little icon bring back bad memories I didn't know there was such a thing as 'green' draft, and I don't mean that stuff with food colouring on St. Patrick's day!

    Ah, the good ol' days of our youth

    By the way, with my allergies, I can't drink beer anymore, even the good stuff. Anyone know of one that isn't made with grain?

    The red wine agrees with me much more, in moderation of course
    Severe compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6.
    Herniation and compression, at L3/4 to L5/S1 plus spondylosis at the latter level. Severe allergy to most metals.
    Three level surgery in Brazil with Dr. Luiz Pimenta on March 17/2010 using non-metal appliances. L5/S1-PEEK cage, ALIF; L4/5-PEEK cage, XLIF; C5/6-NuVasive NeoDisc. Three separate approaches, two minimally invasive. Currently minor residual back pain, from SI ligament and still overdoing things . Therapy and chiropractic treatments helping immensely. Gone from being almost bedridden to near normal activities including gardening. Life is gooooood!

    I don't know where Justin and you found those "interesting" smileys!

    The icons remind me of a Vegas trip four years ago with the "guys." Apparently, not all of the "good ol' days" were limited to my youth!

    There are beers made with rice or corn, but I don't know any without some level of grain. If I find one, I'll let you know.
