Recreating a specific Pimm's Cup for my 40th 🙏

I remember LOVING the Pimm's Cup I'd get across the river at Crown & Anchor Pub. I believe you can ask for it ginger ale or lemonade? I loved the cucumber...it was just like nothing else I've had.

Well, I've never made a Pimm's Cup myself, but want to make a batch for my bday party next weekend. Any advice or recipes or tips?
Yes, there's recipes online.. it's worth a shot asking here.

I lived in New Orleans 13 years ago. I miss it all the time I love that they would have the blues and bbq festival on my birthday weekend every year! Countless free festivals and how everyone mixed with everyone anywhere.
thank you so much. :)

Comets Tshirt

I saw the Mackinaw City HS Comets mascot on the side of the high school. Looks so cool and retro. I went online and in town looking for a tshirt of it, but nothing!

I live downstate, but does anyone have any comet guy tshirts they are willing to part with? Surely they made some cool designs in the past. ☄️Thank you!

Stuck: No improvement after 5mo. we/Dermatologist

Help me, women!

40F, skin jumped off a cliff this year.

I have been using .025% tretinoin cream for about two years about twice a week and suddenly this winter after the holidays my skin just started being crappy I was drinking alcohol again but I've completely stopped that for a few months now and have been visiting a dermatologist and my skin is not making any improvements.

Skin concerns

•	Suspected hormonal acne

•	Closed comedones

•	hard nodular bumps, especially:

•	Eyebrows

•	Sides of jaw

I have completely eliminated alcohol and drink coffee about two or three times a week.

AM Routine:

-take 50 mg of spironolactone (10th week now)

-AHA/BHA gentle accelerating cleanser OR Cerave Gentle Cleanser from dermatologist office

-Clindamycin wipe

-Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer

-Neutrogena clear face SPF 50

PM Routine:

-take 100 mg spironolactone (as of 3wks ago per derm advice)

- benzyl peroxide or Cerave Gentle face wash

-clindamycin wipe

-Vanicream moisturizer

-Every 2/3 nights 0.05% Tretinoin Cream followed by another Vanicream layer

but the first visit the dermatologist prescribed doxycycline but I didn't wanna take it because for once in my life my stomach isn't bloated. Maybe Spiro is taking a long time and it's getting worse before it's better? My skin is bad.

For what it's worth, my bloodwork is all normal, Iron could be higher, but improvement from last year.

I was looking forward to getting the acne under control, and then seeing what the derm could do cosmetically for my enlarged pores etc. Tell me everything!
