As far as my limited knowledge goes I don't believe the Vikings would have experience coffee until they hit the Mediterranean and that was pretty much at the end of the reign of Vikings and I believe they drink hot tea with a little bit of mushroom in it when they needed
lol

Well, let's not call them Vikings for a moment since that word in old norse merely means raiders or pirates. Norsemen established a farflung trading empire across northern europe and the Black sea that would have brought them into contact with trade goods, possibly through secondary traders, from not only the Islamic world, but, through the Western end of the Silk Road, with goods from China and India. 8th century textiles have been recovered from norse burials and, of course, they had access to resources like amber and narwhal and walrus ivory, luxury goods sought after throughout the known world. It's quite likely coffee would have been at least known to them. It's a misconception to think of norse people as primarily sailing warriors. They were mostly agrarian people. Eldest sons inherited everything so their brothers could either herd pigs for them or go raiding. That's really why they went to Iceland and Greenland, to not be a thrall with no future but an owner of your own sheepcroftAs far as my limited knowledge goes I don't believe the Vikings would have experience coffee until they hit the Mediterranean and that was pretty much at the end of the reign of Vikings and I believe they drink hot tea with a little bit of mushroom in it when they needed

My head doesn't fit in the garbage disposal. Tequila and I did the fitting last time I tried it. So rum it is.

My gf and I play this stupid free slot app on the phone, it lets you earn points towards real prizes…we’ve been using it for years to earn free stays to Reno, Vegas, San Diego, etc…
She plays it more than I do…apparently she’s earned enough points for a free cruise to Alaska for 2…
But since it disembarks in Canada, we need passports, which we do not have…
So we’re filling out passport the application tonight! Lol we won’t make it on this cruise that they’re offering, but maybe something down the line!?

That sounds like an app that helps you get kidnapped by a shady travel agency
Sounds fun though. Alaska looks beautiful in photos.

No travel agency involved. We make our own bookings and get to stay for free. You may joke, but we’ve stayed over 50 nights for free in 4star accommodations over the past few years.That sounds like an app that helps you get kidnapped by a shady travel agency

I do have a really cool primary dr. He was super sympathetic, because he leaves on a 2 week cruise to London and Ireland tomorrow, and he just pulled a muscle in his back getting ready to leave.
He said the same as me....Bleeding was from the Ibuprofen....stop taking it, which of course I already have. He ordered a shit ton of blood work/urine tests for starters.
