So, what exactly is a gayberry?

Quote from wiles :
Uh, who's gonna take this one?

I'll give it a shot.
It's a made up term (I think Briang developed the slang but for some it caught on like wildfire) for any kind of berry or fruit that a person would use to make a fruit smoothie to drink, instead of drinking beer like a manly man, such as Briang. Cheers
Some people even speak the language Gayberrolian.

How'd I do Matt?

So I had an interesting night when dh got home from the airport....warning this is long and depressing.

Dh has been in Chicago since Thursday for a class he is taking. Their class takes parts in different competitions around the country.

I may have said before that DH isn't really into talking on the phone, but he always answers if if I call. Last night I kept calling and got no answers. I thought he might have been out of range or in the air but it was past time for him to be home.

I talked to him for about 30 seconds during his layover in Atl and I knew something was wrong. I could hear it in his voice, he is a very mellow person and never really has huge emotional reactions to anything. I asked him if something was wrong and he cut me off saying he would talk at home. I was worried after that. Dh is type 1 diabetic, since 16 months old. And I always worry about him because of that.

He came home just after 1am, more than an hour after I thought he would arrive. He walked in and looked at me, and said, "My professor died on our way to the airport."

He told me that they were getting ready to board the redline to the airport, waiting for the rest of the class to get to the station. He was with his professor, a healthy, happy 46 y/o wife and mother of 2 girls. They were talking and out of nowhere she crumpled and fell to the ground...he was on the phone with 911 right away, but he wasn't sure exactly where he was, a worker came up and started cpr b/c she wasn't breathing. He said 'Kara, I saw her face and I knew. She was already gone, it was the worst face I have ever seen a person make.'

2 of his classmates stayed behind, I can tell he is feeling guilty that he didn't, but no one was sure if the university would pay for more plane tickets.

He came home with another classmate and when they got to the charlotte airport the got the call that she didn't make it, and his classmate broke down. He sat with her in the airport trying to comfort her. He didn't want her to drive so he drove her home.

My DH does not get emotional over anything, good/bad, happy/sad. Nothing ever seems to effect him. Last night I saw the kind of pain in his eyes that I have never ever seen before.

Please pray for his professor's family. I will probably be back on tomorrow.
I heart everyone here. Thanks for your support.

ok who here has ever hooked up with a good friend? suddenly my friend got distinctly flirty w me. weve been friends like 5 years. would a hookup b weird? wreck the friendship? hes my beer tasting guy and i dont want to mess that up! oh we did make out 1x in 2005 but it stopped @ kissing, and he was a surprisingly good kisser. then it got awckward and i abandoned ship. thejas, thrifty, what to do? i know what kitty sez Evillaugh- do him
My vote: Do it!...errrrr....HIM bounce

If you have known him that long, you must get along and think he is a good guy. Sometimes the best things are right under your nose.

On the other hand....does he live with his mommy? That could be a deal breaker. Then I say you gotta go to friends with benefits.

Really sorry to hear this. Ive dealt with sudden death in my own life and its a stunning tragedy thats hard to understand until you feel it yourself. Im sure that was beyond shocking for your husband to experience even if it was not a personal relation of his. Give him time to deal with this, work it through in his head. Its not something you get over quickly, and you get flash backs at the strangest of times, so give him lots of love and time. There is a grieving process you just have to go through (the depth of it varies on the closeness of the person to you but its still the same) and you have to support him through this. Guys tend to not want to do this and internalize, shove it in a corner..not a good thing.

Ohhh Kara, I am so sorry to hear that. It is bad enough to lose someone so suddenly, but to be there when the tragedy happens is even more traumatic. I know you said DH is not a big talker nor does he show emotions. He'll express his grief in his own way. All you can do it be there for him in whatever capacity he needs.

hug to you

Pray for the professor's family

wiles, pliny IBUs are around 220-250 imo...looking at the hop schedule, but who knows the exact # because we don't know the exact alpha acid hops numbers their hops are....hops vary by batch for alpha acid, usually pretty close but the higher hops can range by 2% so that can throw things off a bit
