Reverse course for fire, helmsman!

I think the clinic was also one of those places to help young parents deal with raising a child.

Communism sounds halfway decent in theory, but in practice it sucks monkey balls and all guides to being a Communist nation needs to be burned.

Who was teaching it?
Some nurse from an abortion clinic IIRC.

A very small portion of the week we spent being brainwashed talking about it was actually telling us not to do it, but it was rather some STDs and what they do, stuff like that.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Ginger ale is a carbonated soft drink flavored with ginger. Dr. Thomas Cantrell, an American apothecary and surgeon, claimed to have invented ginger ale and marketed it with beverage manufacturer Grattan and Company. Grattan embossed the slogan "The Original Makers of Ginger Ale" on its bottles.[1] Ginger ale was considered the most popular soft drink in the United States between 1860 and 1930
A great drink, right here. I'd drink this over soda. My hierarchy is Tea > Ginger Ale > Soda > Coffee

Drinking some of this right now:

Quote from: Wikipedia: History
Ginger Ale has a storied history in the United States. Ginger ales come in two varieties: "golden" and "dry". Golden ginger ale is dark colored, generally sweet to taste, with a strong ginger spice flavor. It is the older style and there is little or no difference between this and nonalcoholic versions of ginger beer. Many believe golden ginger ale is a form of ginger beer brought into North America by migrants from Eastern Europe, where it had been known for centuries. Golden ginger ale, like ginger beer, is mainly consumed as a soda type drink in its own right.
Dry ginger ale (paler, and with much less of the ginger "kick") became popular in the United States during the Prohibition era, when it was used as a mixer for alcoholic beverages, as the strong flavor of golden ginger ale was undesirable. Dry ginger ale quickly surpassed golden ginger ale in popularity, and today, golden ginger ale is an uncommon, and usually regional, drink. By contrast, dry ginger ale is produced on a vast scale for national and international consumers.
Vernors, Blenheim, A-Treat, Bull's Head, Chelmsford, Buffalo Rock, Suslove and Red Rock are brands of golden ginger ale. Canada Dry, Schweppes and Seagram's are major brands of dry ginger ale. Dry ginger ale, as a mixer for alcoholic beverages, is a staple on supermarket shelves, in bars, and on airlines. Ginger ale is less commonly sold through vending machines or soda fountains alongside other carbonated soft drinks, but is still popular in some countries such as Canada.
Quote from: Wikipedia: Ingredients
Brands available in North America include Canada Dry, Bull's Head, Canfield's, Hansen Natural, Vernors, Seagram's, Seaman's (acquired by PepsiCo and now discontinued), Schweppes, Suslove, Buffalo Rock, Boylan Bottling Company, Polar Beverages, Ale-8-One, Blenheim, Foxon Park, Sprecher, Vally, Market Basket/Chelmsford, Red Rock, Reed's Ginger Brew, Thomas Kemper, Blaze (produced by Pipeline Brands), Chek (River of Dreams), Shasta, and Northern Neck.
Vernors is a flavored golden ginger ale aged for three years in oak barrels before bottling. It was the first U.S. soft drink, originating in 1866, although it was modelled on imported Irish ginger beers. In Detroit, Michigan, a drink made with vanilla ice cream and Vernors ginger ale is called a Boston cooler. The name is not taken from Boston, Massachusetts, where this combination is unknown, but from an establishment on Boston Boulevard in Detroit where it is said to have been invented.
Blenheim is a golden ginger ale made in South Carolina; unlike most other brands, it is available in several degrees of spiciness: Old #3 Hot, #5 Not as Hot, and #9 Diet
Discuss this gift from God.

We had this last year... By a person working at an abortion clinic, I think.

Hello Jacob.
Why do you have /Lee in your name?
It's unusual. My BLF name isn't Ethan/Bob or anything.
Originally, me and Nienhaus1 shared a key. The game doesn't like it when two people using the same key use different names, so we had to reach some sort of compromise. We invented Jacob/Lee, my first name being Jacob and his middle being Lee. Eventually, I made this forums account and used that name. I eventually bought my own key, which let me survive the forums lockdown.

Are you Jacob or Lee?

I get the funny feeling I've asked this before.
You have, I'm Jacob.

I, Jacob/Lee, award you, Ethan, the worthless Medal of Helpfulness, for your efforts at helping us with our tech-related problems. Nobody here knows like you do! :)
