Oh I need to get me some pink grapefruit fever tree. That sounds excellent. Is it like a tonic that's flavored grapefruit, or is it legit just sparkling grapefruit juice?

If you're like me and you've tried and been disappointed by all the fruit flavored sparkling water, this stuff is legit. It actually tastes like grapefruit.

Their ginger beer is top notch too.

Their tonic and ginger beer are both excellent. I guess I didn't know they did anything else. I see they have Elderflower Tonic, too, which would be amazing for G&T. I'll have to find these.

I didn't know they did all those other flavors either. I've never been able to get into drinks with grapefruit, but damned if I'm not going to try again. The lime & yuzu and spiced orange ginger ale sound intriguing too.

I've got that too. On their helpful website they have cocktail recipes and I've got the stuff for a Kentucky mule (bourbon, ginger beer, and fresh lime juice). I will be having one of those tonight.

I just went and poured myself one. God bless those little tree elves, and cheers to you sir for the suggestion. My evening just got a little more enjoyable.

Hot temps coming, time for some Tom Collins, gin & tonic, Daiquiris, Pina coladas and ice cold beer.

Love watching our young guys compared to seeing Bradley/Altidore/Bedoya and crew. Was hoping to see Musah start tonight, then everything would have been perfect.

I didn't get to watch any of the episodes yet (recorded), so maybe he was great, but honestly I **** hate this guy and feel like he's probably an enormous douche.

Made everything bagels tonight for the first time. The capers, tomato, smoked salmon, and cream cheese sandwich was maybe the best thing I've ever made. Good god.

Also are sites like Indeed, Glassdoor, Ziprecruiter worth my time or not really?

Why are you changing careers? And why are you limiting it to Milwaukee companies? IMHO, I think you are better off researching careers - what the job entails, pay and ease of getting a job, etc. There are a ton of either smaller, sub-entities of larger companies or B2B companies you have never heard up that might be great fit. Like, sure ManPower is a good company to work for, but are they hiring for what you actually want to do? And even if you get a job there, so much is dependent on team and department that just asking about a company won't tell you much about a specific work environment.

Hate my current job and don’t get paid enough and don’t want to move. I would be open to anything within commuting distance of Milwaukee.

Really just want to get my foot in the door of the corporate world and then figure out exactly what I want to do long term after.

24 consecutive hours of Le Batard, Stugotz, the Shipping Container, and the rest of their universe. I'm going to watch every minute - though most certainly in chunks.

I'm a few hours behind already, but I'm throughly enjoying it.

I always get a lox bagel whenever possible. I go for red onion instead of tomato, but that is some gooooood stuff.

Benji's deli in Shorewood is the ****.

I took a break in mid-afternoon so I could go strong late and in the morning. Very much enjoying this. Kate Fagan and Tom Haberstroh eating reapers...oof. They're in some serious pain. Bob Lee eating a whole jalapeno was a highlight too.

I'm only on the five hour mark. I'm going to let this take me through my weekend. Favorite thing so far has been Ron Magill and the animals and Roy's Realm. Amin getting drunk was so predictable and hilarious.
