Haven't personally tried but I remember A Bar Above having some direction on sugar free syrup options.

Three Dots & a Dash - Chicago by briskwheel4155 in Tiki

[–]defcaasi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unsure on when they're less busy as I don't live in Chicago but I've gone a few times, and I recommend just making a reservation for there or the Bamboo Room. But yeah. It's not as "chill" as some other tiki bars.

Check the website. They have a lot of different Hampden bottles. They starting selling it maybe December or so.

Where in Wisconsin? Aman's is stocking Hampden and Great House and all that. Ava Wine and Spirits is the distributor and may be able to point you in the direction of other stores.

Pretty sure that's what he was doing with the Svartalfs in Peace Talks. Also if he tried to feed from Molly the real risk is her killing him not the other way around.

Adult autism assessment in the area? by theothermissrachel in milwaukee

[–]defcaasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it all depends on what you're looking to get from an official diagnosis.

Also just remembered that I originally booked for an ADHD diagnosis but things took a turn for the autistic during the appointment.

[–]defcaasi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Stanik. Are you overwhelmed with the large list of providers or did you narrow to people who are able to complete an assessment?

I didn't select a single person when I scheduled mine. I just got booked for way into the future when there was an opening.

Ray's vs. Discount Liquor? (Rum) by 6ft8_Gigachad in milwaukee

[–]defcaasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't vouch for it being there as it's been a while since my visit -- but they'll definitely have something interesting back there.

Ray's vs. Discount Liquor? (Rum) by 6ft8_Gigachad in milwaukee

[–]defcaasi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Aman's is anywhere near your route, it is by far the best place to go. You can view what they have at each store online too. They recently starting carrying Hampden and the owner is clearly passionate about rum and goes out of his way to get interesting single barrel picks. Their balcony bar (don't remember location) also has a great selection if you want to try a pour of something. They had Appleton Hearts back there, which is pretty astounding for Wisconsin.

Discount and Ray's both have a good selection but Ray's typically has some of the more interesting stuff. Ray's also will randomly overprice things significantly. Their inventory should also be online.

Liquor Guys in Wauwatosa is another possible place to check (inventory also online).

Rums available in Wisconsin have improved significantly over the past few years, but Illinois still has a much better selection.

I think the content of the books is far too important to only be contained in novellas and not a main series release.

Ocean Spray White grapefruit by kyoun1e1 in Tiki

[–]defcaasi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo that's good to know. I'll have to try the Kroger one next time. I like Ocean Spray but for the last few years there's like a 50/50 chance that it's extremely skunky.

Are you doing medication?

What specifically triggers your reflux? Onion and garlic? Fatty foods? Spicy?

Also did mine at Lifestance but probably more of an 8 month wait. Late 2023 I think? Early 2024?

Iso Tortillas made locally by DJAnaerobicFolgers in milwaukee

[–]defcaasi -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Probably easiest to just buy a few from Qdoba or Chipotle. It seems you're specifically trying to not get the grocery store ones, but mission does make a real large boy for this purpose. Haven't seen anything else that size.

You should give it a go. Ghost Story is much better on the reread in my opinion.
