[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

Do you make new years resolutions?

Do you keep them?

I have 2 so far, swim more and read more books...

Anybody want to share theirs?

[freddie*rooster]

My resolutions are and have been the same for oh a long long time.

Give up smoking.

Lose weight.

Exercise more.

I've succeeded with all 3 but the weight I lost I found again, so this year I hope never to find it again.

lol freddie! 

2 out of 3 is pretty good!

Have you ever tried to make your own beer? Or ginger beer? Delicious.

No, never took an intrest in it. Don't know how legal it is though. I did find some stuff on Youtube. This might be something I can get into. Is it that you just can't sell or transport it?, I'm not up on the paticulars. like if it's worth the effort, the costs of materals and ingredients, ect. I imagine if it was something worthwhile then more people would be doing it, and the state and liquer stores wouldn't be making money.

I don't like the taste of beer, but I do like some brands of burbon whisky

No I never make them. BUT this year I am going to pull my finger out and fix up the house a bit and not be looking back at the same year as this and the one before and the one before. Change is a comin'

When I was young, my dad used to make his own beer and ginger beer..I remember the bottles used to be stored in the laundry and at odd times of the day (and night) get a hell of shock when one exploded...my dad would be devastated 

I dont know anything about the legality of it- Im pretty sure here in Melbourne you can still make your own beer, but you probably cant sell it. There are some pretty good craft beers that come out of my neighbourhood...small production..some of the local bottle-ohs sell them, but they would be commercial..

Its legal to make beer.


I, along with a few others made heaps of beer at School in the uk, some turned out really nice, some not so.
We still drank it, i suppose when its not allowed it always tastes good LOL

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

yay good for you ten*teeny*

What are your plans? ( as opposed to: what needs doing? lol)

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

The things they teach in school! lol

aps, did you ever make ginger beer?

I tried elderberry 'wine' on Christmas day- it was pretty foul..I thought it would be sweet and refreshing and it just tasted YUK

[ten*teeny*tiny*toes]

What needs doing has to come first and I'd be really happy with even that.

House needs some work before it can be sold or even tenanted.

I would really love to have six months a year up here and six months in Tassie, ultimately.

You

Not at school but my father made it in the uk at home as he loved it.
I remember one bottle exploded LOL

Dont like it so would never make it, or beer for that matter.
