Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.

Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.

Re: Hi
Geoff, I am sure Cranky has mentioned me a time or two and I do know many of you thought wonderful thoughts or prayed healing prayers and even sent me a song when I was so ill. This is genuinely a great group of people & Cranky speaks about the forum and all of you frequently, its very much like extended friends and family.
Re: Hi
Pet Lovers know a special kind of love and appreciation and home distillers have a special appreciation for the old laborious crafting ways, quality people all around. Would love to see a pic of Max & Nala, there is a guy a Scottsman I think, who bikes around Europe with a cat named Nala, on youtube, I enjoy those videos, your cats name made me think of his cat riding in his bike basket.Twisted Brick wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 9:02 pm Welcome, Mrs Cranky, to the best home-distilling site ever and home to some distillers who are also devoted cat owners.

Re: Hi
That is indeed Mrs. Oscar the Grouch. So what are you going to get into? You going the “fruity goodness” route or are you going rogue with some all grains or neutrals? Are you going to embark on making your own still?

Re: Hi
Thank you Mrs. Cranky! I found the heartwarming story of the Scot Dean Nicholson rescuing a starving, abandoned kitten in Bosnia and the bonding he and Nala shared over two years of world travel. Truly an enriching union that has spawned a book and over 900,000 (as of Feb 2021) Instagram followers.
Here's a pic of our Nala, now 14-months old, delivered (literally) by a neighborhood feral mama in our garage. Next to her is Max (The Curmudgeon), 11 years old, who faithfully camps at the top of the stairs at night to act as watch cat while we sleep. I took this pic yesterday, which was the first time since Nala arrived that he let her sleep close to him.
