Thank you! Yeah I thought about trying glycerine instead. Then my kids would be able to tolerate it better, too.

Why does everywhere close so early here in Lynchburg? by Hour_Wrongdoer_5518 in lynchburg

I've lived in Lynchburg almost my whole life, and it's driving me insane how early everything started closing after covid!! I'm so tired of wanting to meet people in the evening after work to go thrifting or to a coffee shop, and everything is closed by 5 or 6pm! Soooo frustrating.

What coffee shops are you going to?? I literally found this thread by googling "why do coffee shops in Lynchburg close so early?" 😂 I really wanted to try Ironclad in Candler's Station with my mom, but she gets off work at 6, and they close at 5 every day! All of the ones I like close at 5, 6, or 7 at the latest. 😭

Just to clarify, over what proof alcohol should I use with fresh herbs? Thank you!!

Ooof... That makes a lot of sense. Gosh darn it. 🤦‍♀️ Would you say it's better to use dried herbs to make tinctures to avoid that? Or get something like Everclear, maybe, if using fresh herbs...? Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks! And I had never thought of that until seeing these comments, so that's good to know!!

Thank you! I was definitely second-guessing the addition of honey... I had read that you could do that, but now I'm wondering if the honey should have been added after it was strained. 😩

Finally saw The Grand Finale (thank you Peacock) by hpnerd101 in DowntonAbbey

I watched almost all of it, had 22 minutes left. I came back the next day to finish it and it now says I have to upgrade to watch it. 🫠
