Sterile and Surviving [250th Post!]

     You know, I thought it would have been the water, like that one Info guy said. Or maybe soy. Corn was a good option too. But how was I supposed to know they were going after my alcohol?

    We all found out one day when our usual bartender mentioned a couple getting into a fight. Literally on the bar top, once they were drunk enough. Something about how they both wanted kids, and they both knew they could, but something was getting in the way. Both were fighting over if the other had an affair, or if they cheated the fertility tests, all kinds of crazy things. Turns out, both lushes have been drinking this one beer for years that the bartender got curious about. If I told you which one, you would probably go, "oh, yeah, that one, that would be the one," so I'm going to assume you know which one I'm talking about. Anyway, our bartender had one of the beers taken to some small university nearby and sure enough, those geeks found something weird in the beer. It's a new compound that most of them immediately freaked out about and told the bartender to dispose of all the beer. 

    Problem is, when you try to get rid of a beer, you lose the crowd. And this one is a pretty popular one, as you probably guessed already. So he kept it, but would warn people ahead of time. Most of the time, those drunks just shrugged and told him they didn't care. Boy, I bet they do now. 

    Not that I care much anyway. I'm past the point of being able to have a kid, and that stuff tastes fine to an old timer like me. Most of the young bucks have quit drinking it and just ask the old farts which whiskey is best for a weekday. The only ones who drink the beer now are either old ladies like myself who don't care anymore, or younger folks that don't want kids to begin with. Bet that's gonna make the government mad when in a decade or two. But who the hell cares? Government's been taken us for granted anyway. Might as well screw them over as much as they screwed us over, right?

    Hand me another beer. I'll tell you a crazier thing once I've had a couple more of those sterilizers in me.

    Random endnote: I am happy I made it to 250 posts. I haven't had a blog for this long, so seeing that this is the 250th post is wild to my brain. Hopefully, in the future, I can make it to 500. Or more. We'll see. 

    Thank you to everyone who has been with me since November 5, 2018 when I finally threw in the towel and stopped deleting all my blogs. I honestly kind of settled for this blog, but I'm glad I did. And apologies for not always being consistent with it. I am honestly going to do my best to do so moving forward, but I also know that I'm in the middle of a "dark night of the soul," so I won't make that a promise.

Until next time, with love and strength,
