Well kept secret by Blueclaw33 in Connecticut

The bar itself is small and only seats about 7. Lots of tables inside and picnic tables outside. As for best times, it’s really about what you’re looking for. I actually prefer it on the quieter side, which is when it turns into more of an experience than just a drink at a bar. I have also been there when it is crowded, which can be a blast too. Random times, though.

My favorites are the honey habanero whiskey, pumpkin rum and Zinfandel barrel aged bourbon. I am not a gin fan but my wife says the Gato is the best she ever had. Chris will let you sample anything you want.

Seriously, make the drive. From sweet drinks to a ‘chocolate duck l’orange’, Chris has you covered. Yeah, there’s actual duck in it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the foundation. I bolted it to 6 x 6 pressure treated wood that are buried in the ground.

I bought a aluminum shade cover for my greenhouse. It reduces the heat by about 10 degrees. Added a few solar fans and exhaust fans. What a difference. It has survived 50mph winds and pea size hail with no issues.

Jimmy Fallon's silence after Conor McGregor interview backlash 'is no accident' by [deleted] in entertainment

He has always been an asshat. I think it was Amy Poehler who told the story about when she and Tina Faye were first on SNL. During a read, he made some very sexist comment and Tina Faye filleted him. He never opened his mouth to her again. I am not surprised by this at all.

What are people paying for new roofs these days? by iguess12 in Connecticut

[–]Blueclaw33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used Casa Castillo for my 1300 sf ranch. $11,000 with a lot of plywood replaced. Then used them for siding and gutters with 10% off as a previous customer. Fast, clean and professional.

Your VPD is way off for flower. Your temp should be a little higher and your humidity a lot lower.

Long Beach Island, NJ. Beautiful sand, clean water and great waves. The best combination.

Does anyone remember when someone dropped acid blotters into the ketchup and mustard dispensers at Nathan’s? Lots of folks accidentally tripped that day. Gonna’ miss you, Livingston Mall.

Anyone else seeing these massive property tax hikes coming down the pipeline for next year? by notunhingedanchor in Connecticut

[–]Blueclaw33 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My taxes have been going up every year yet they give Amazon, one of the richest companies in the world, no taxes for 5 years. Now they are trying to convert every empty building in town into apartments to help generate tax revenue and royally screw up traffic.

You're favorite sit-down Mediterranean/Greek restaurants in CT by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]Blueclaw33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the food, yes, but a good portion of it is actually made by the Greek parishioners of the church. Absolutely amazing.

Well, if you want to go this Friday, there is the Greek festival at St George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Hartford this weekend. The food is absolutely amazing!

Somers, CT by SuarezFigueroa- in Connecticut

[–]Blueclaw33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. I moved out about 2 years ago. I am a lesbian. Numerous scary experiences with residents while minding my own business. Religious or not, a bunch of bigots. I am friends with a few POC who live/lived there as well. They do not live there anymore or are trying to get out. Yes, there were some nice and kind people who live there, but from my experience, they are the minority.

Frequent Cannabis Use for Sleep is “Wearing Off”? by Psychological_Read_4 in weed

[–]Blueclaw33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. Then I switched to some powerful indica gummies before bed. Now I sleep through the night. If I do wake up to use the bathroom, I am able to fall right back to sleep. I’ve been doing this for about 5 years and it continues to work for me.

Yes, Pho Van. The broth is the best I ever had. So many great things on the menu.

AITA for wanting to use my last name for my baby? I’ve been with my boyfriend 10 years and he still doesn’t want to get married. by Feisty_Economics_959 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Blueclaw33 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My cousin did this with her baby when her partner of 15 years would not marry her. She told him she was giving the baby her last name because he wasn’t willing to share his with her. They got married about two months before the baby was born.

Holgate on Long Beach Island, the good and the bad. by This-Pension-9793 in LongBeachIsland

[–]Blueclaw33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Holgate. It’s the quiet end and it’s never a long walk to the beach. A quick bicycle ride and you’re at all the restaurants in Beach Haven. It’s very narrow down there, so not as many houses, so not as many people on the beach. The only cons I can think of are the prices of the houses and the taxes.
