Aloha Amazing, Awesome, Aspiring Alcoholics and Ale Addicts,
(Today’s post is sponsored by the letter “A”)
The Eighteenth Amendment (Amendment XVIII) of the United States Constitution effectively established the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States by declaring the production, transport, and sale of alcohol (though not the consumption or private possession) illegal. The separate Volstead Act set down methods for enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment, and defined which “intoxicating liquors” were prohibited, and which were excluded from prohibition (e.g., for medical and religious purposes). President Woodrow Wilson vetoed the bill, but the House of Representatives overrode the veto, and the Senate did so as well the next day. The Volstead Act set the starting date for nationwide prohibition for January 17, 1920, which was the earliest day allowed by the Eighteenth Amendment. The Amendment was in effect for the following 13 years. It was repealed in 1933 by ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment on December 5, 1933.
That’s enough of a history lesson!

Correct me if I am wrong – I don’t need to collect the whole 420 glasses to get the final prize? What happens with the task to collect 420 beers? (Sorry, I haven’t finished the mini even yet)
I can’t start the update yet because nothing is popping up. I have everybody free and I have the new screen. Does the update just not start yet and there having the update come early so everyone can pick it up at start at the same time instead of IOS taking forever?
Exactly!
That explains the issue then!! Does it go live later tonight?
Tomorrow actually.
When I downloaded and nothing started, I thought they must have set it to trigger at the proper time tomorrow…a much smarter way to roll out an update. Can’t believe EA thought of it all on their own😂.
That’s EAxactly what they did this time.
Hondo….just saw the “Reindeer Rockettes” on the beach…funniest thing I’ve seen since GreenGirls’s Krustyburger drive thru…thanks for the laugh😂😂😂.
UPDATE IS LIVE FOR UPDATING ON iOS. But it doesn’t start until tomorrow.
Alissa is picking up Riley and will have an update soon.
I’m having a real hard time reading this blog lately. I keep getting this annoying pop up for an amazon gift card or something. It won’t let me get back to the blog to read it! Good grief! RachelS
Bought duff brewery and thought I would share

Ooooh…not exactly what I had in mind, but maybe the tiny addict will enjoy it?❄️⛄️❄️
Lol we’re over snow. (Our 4th storm this month) She’s ready to use her outdoor toys.
I’m doing a 3 month gig in Salem Massachusetts, we’re about to get hit with a blizzard for the 3rd week in a row. This southern boy isn’t used to digging his car out of 3ft of snow to go to and to leave work.
Happy Birthday! 🙂

One more brief history lesson…..
A year and a half after men were sober they granted women the right to vote.
Nag, nag, nag – I’m drunk and can ignore it
Prohibition was enacted.
Nag, nag, nag – I’m sober – please!!! Stop! I’ll let you vote!
And after women could vote…..
Please, let the men folk have their liquor!!!
And prohibition was repealed.
.????
(I’m leaving now, and quickly)
It’s not your fault, you’re just mentioning what happened in the history and how times were better and nowadays they won’t give you hate here for this, but if you wrote this basically ANYWHERE else, well… let’s just say it would be hard for you to sleep…
I really do love this animation😃👍🍺
Yup, this and the rowdy crowds…a couple of great mini-event additions.👍 Seems like the mini-events have all the best stuff lately.🤔
Howard K. Duff is a slave to distributing samples in my city now 🙂

Luv ur duff hedges!
Noticed your avatar – go Reds!
Great design…now I know where to put my bathtub hooch production after the event!
is it worth keeping in my town?
Yes….most definitely. All day…..everyday……😀👍👍
This one awesome prize was the best thing they’ve done in a while
I think it sucks, apart from one good animation (which i probably never ever will make happen manually again) , it does nothing, and is rather Hard to do any decent design from. Naaaaah.
