    hmmmmm--shaking head and bewildered--never ran across a "deleted" post here.

    Drinkin' buds--lift a glass of whatever and cheer that the GIANTS won the superbowl--and that DH and buds won their bet.   LOL!  Big decisions tomorrow when they wake up to reality--can they mail their ticket in; does it have to be collected in person in Las Vegas; is there an expiration time frame...they are too excited to think right now--driving me nuts!  But, happy for them--they are like 5-yr olds!!!  I jotted down a web site for tee-shirts, and need to go check; may order t-shirts for each of them--I think they'd get a kick out of that!  ps--I do not like football and have never understood it!

    snow has melted, wind has died down, spring is almost here!!

    big hugggsssss to all!

    OMG, I'm sorry to have brought that here.  All I said was that I was raising my glass in honor of CY.  I accidentally posted under my SO's user ID not realizing it was him logged in instead of me so I deleted my post that was under his ID and put it under my ID.   I will leave this thread if you all want me to.  I never meant for the trouble to follow me all over BCO.  I'm just a bc survivor who wants to be supported and give support to others.  I'd think that's why most of us are here. 

    Yea for the Giants win!  I'm ending my night with a rum and coke, after having a Yuengling during the game and a glass of wine when it was over.  More than what I'd usually have in a day but it's been a very long and rough one today. 

    Wow Junie, your DH and buds must have won some big bucks!  Yea for them, and you!  Boy, I cannot Wait for spring!!!

    ggrrrrrr--am beside myself!!!    Have spent the last hour trying to order the tee-shirts from the website posted on TV--only to be finally told that these items are not available...guess nobody expected the Giants to win--but, am really disappointed--seems like everytime I try to do something that I think is fun or neat for someone else--I just get whacked upside the head!!

    Getting me another ML then heading for bed...grrrrr    grrrrr

    Hey drinkin' gals, what's shakin'?  Been away from the boards for the most part but always liked the thread with the word "drinking" in it LOL. 

    Donna, hey girl, when are you heading down to Florida?  Not sure where you were going but if it is close to me, I'd love to hook up with you.

    Christine, I would love to have another bag of those Scotch cookies made in St Louis you sent me.  They were the best!  I kept them hid from my hubby. HA

    Jaybird how's that darling little girl of yours?  I bet she is growing like a weed.  You have a new job?  Does it include flying into Florida?

    Traci you are only about 80 miles from me here in Ocala. 

    It's really sad about CY.  What a beautifully loving supportive woman. 

    Yeah Giants

    What a great game.  Course I drank too much.  Went to a superbowl party at a friends house that has a Kegerator.  haha Man I have to get me one of those! 

    Good to see you girls again..... I might just have to pop in here more often.  Cheers, Marsha

    Hey Buds~

    I'm not a football fan at ALL, but I actually watched some of the Superbowl, and saw the Giants score in the final seconds of the game!  How exciting!  I always like to see the underdog win!

    I used the Superbowl as an excuse to make some hot wings and drink beer.  BF was out of town so it was just me and my cats...

    Charlene - I don't understand what's going on with you getting reported.  Does this go on your "permanent record"? LOL!  Don't go!  Kick back and have another drink with us!  You had a Yuengling?  I love that beer, but can't get it around here.

    Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!  I'll be in Key Largo Mar 8 - 13th for my first REAL scuba trip!  I can't wait!   Then I'll be in Palm Harbor (not sure where that is, but we're flying into Jacksonville) the week of Apr 21st.  Where do you live?  I would love to meet up with you too!

    There's a short post on the Wagon Circle thread from CY, so good to see her post!

    I'm feeling extra "puffy" today from the beers and wings (and chips & nuts) yesterday!  I need to starve myself today.  HA! Like that's going to happen.  I do need to shed some pounds before I have to put on that wetsuit in about 6 weeks.  The wetsuit's not so flattering...

    Hope everyone has a great day!  Marsha, don't be a stranger!

    Cheers!

    Donna have fun on your scuba trip and I'm sure you look fine in your wet suit. 

    Marsha-hey there girl.  A kegerator huh?  Now that sounds like a good thing to have.  I really like the mini kegs you can buy now.  Alabama only has Heiniken and Coors in them but they are cool. 

    Charlene-nice to see a familiar drinking bud around here. 

    Junie-your luck sounds like mine when it comes to ordering stuff.  Hopefully you will get your order in today. 

    Harley-have fun on your cruise.  sounds like fun.

    Yea Giants!  :)

    Snow last night, and now it's raining so lots of fog here. Hopefully I'll get to Atlanta sometime tonight.....

    Marsha, Avery is a fun little toddler for sure! If I ever get a pic scanned I will post it, I promise!

    Cheers to all - I'm still on the wagon and detoxing but plan on having a few drinks when I say "Adios!" to W.F.

    Janice - I think we need to have one hellava party when you get to bid farewell to WF.  Let us know when!

    Junie - just send me your dh's tickets and I will pick up their winnings when I go to Vegas in June.  I could go to that little dump you found and spend some of their winnings there.

    lol Donna- last time I was in a wetsuit, I lived on Hilton Head, my ex and I were spending the xmas holiday in FL and swimming with the dolphins, we laughed so hard that he looked like the "Michelin Man" but I looked like Mrs. Michelin.

    OK Marsha- I promise to get some Dad's Scotch Oatmeals out to you and DH, as long as he shares with you, my former SP. I love those cookies!

    The weather? How weird is this global warming stuff? Last week it was 70 degrees in St Louis and 19 in Kansas City, a matter of 5 hrs by car? Tonight at 10:30pm, all of my windows are open at home, but tomorrow? snow!

    Oh and for all of those boxed wine questions, I say "No"

    You can find great wines at a great price. Today,for the first time, my local grocer had some close-out wines, great ones too! So I got a $20 chardonnay for $10, plus if you buy (6) 750ml bottles you get 10 % off, woo hoo! I was able to restock my wine rack.

    So who all from this thread is looking at going to Eureka Springs in April, If you haven't checked out the Get Together forum, find us there. We are ready to have our own"Girls Behaving Badly" at Eureka Springs. Not really, we just know, the more we have from this the"funnestest" thread, the more fun we'all have. "All ya'll" are welcome.

    LOL Christine, I agree, wine in a box is just wrong!  Too funny buying wine in bulk to say 10%.

    Donna I haven't been scuba diving in 3 years.  We went to Cozumel and dove there.  Was listed as the 3rd best diving site in the world by some travel magazine.  Amazing!  I sure hope you aren't driving from Jacksonville to the Keys cause that is the long ass way.  LOL  Palm Harbor is where Traci is and about 80 miles from me.  Maybe the 3 of us could meet up for drinks while you are there in April.

    Janice I agree with Sam, a big ole blowout party for you when you quit Whole Foods and finish detoxing!  LOL

    Amy, always nice to see you, drinking bud. 

    Charlene, your not a GIants fan are you?  I was thinking Steelers?  I'm a Tampa Bay Bucs fan but we have sucked bad the last several years.  hahaha

    Funnestest???  I like it!

    Harley have a great time on your cruise.  We went to Jamaica in Dec and drank 24/7 since we were at an all inclusive place.

    Hey everybody....man, there are a lot of us FL gals....too much sun???? : )

    I bought boxed wine 100 years ago. I can't believe they still have it but.....it did fit in the fridge good and as I recall it didn't suck....I've seen it at Spirits but have not bought any.

    : ) Hey Casino girl....good thing your not coming to FL during football season cuz I would.....be dragging your butt to a sportsbar!

    Woo!! What a game!

    Marsha, that would be too cool. Ocala is only a six pack away! (lol, I don't like beer!)

    Cheers! Traci

    Hey all ya'll,

    Thanks, Amy, and Marsha for the warm wishes for my cruise!  I am so excited! 

    I am looking forward to Christmas & New Years, and an ultra luxury cruise to the Caribbean... over 2008/2009...  The drinks are INCLUDED!!  They will also stock our mini bar with our beverages of choice!!!  Oh, and I LOVE champagne!!

    Cheers!

    Junie, did you ever get those t-shirts you wanted?

    Donna, Not going anywhere no matter how hard I'm pushed! lol Yep, Yuengling is the beer of choice at our house and of course being from PA it's available. Wow, you sure are an inspiration with all you do!

    Amy, nice seeing you here my friend! Karl wants to put a kegerator in his office lol

    Jaybird, hey, that's what I said too! WTF?? lol How old is Avery? I have a 2 year old named Ava!

    Christine: Scotch Oatmeal Cookies ... they sound yum!

    Marsha, No I'm not a Giants fan but I was rooting for the underdog in the SB. Incredible game and I must say the Giants deserved that win, even Brady conceded that! Yep, I'm a HUGE Steelers fan!!! I almost forgot about Tampa Bay LOL

    Harley must be on her cruise right now .... lucky duck!

    Cheers to everyone!

    Hey Buds~

    Marsha, we're driving from Miami to Key Largo March 8th.  Flying into Jacksonville to stay in Palm Harbor in April.  That would be great to meet up with you and Traci for a drink or two or three when I'm in Palm Harbor!Cool

    J - BIG cyberparty when you tell Whole Foods "your services are no longer needed".  HA!  I would LOVE to say that!

    Christine - I've never heard of those cookies....wonder if they're around Tulsa...maybe you should just send me some just to be safe.  (just kidding my BFA doesn't need them.)

    Hey Amy Laughing 

    Better get back to the old grindstone now.....

    Cheers

    Hi Everyone,

    I think that maybe we should all try the cookies! I've never really drank much scotch....but I would certainly try it and the cookies! I thought I would try some cognac the other day, they said to try it straight, so of course I did. I did not care for it too much. I didn't think there was an alcohol I couldn't get along with! I've been working way too much, a trip to anywhere sounds awesome! Sun, beach, drinks.......Cool back to reality!

    Bottoms up

    Just a quick fly by - had to drop in and read the funnestest thread, although I do get my kicks from reading others - sometimes as good as reading the comic strips.

    I did read about the get together in Eureka Springs - I may have to try and make it there - have to see how I'm feeling after my surgery on March 17th.  I have declared March 15th as tax day this year.  Hopefully, will have everything wrapped up by then.

    I have met, Junie and Christine and would love to meet "all y'all " and have a really fun "Girls Behaving Badly" as Christine says.

    Cheers

    Sam--how could you schedule surgery on St Paddy's Day!  Sure hope that doc doesn't drink!!!    Or was the date deliberate--ya know--luck of the Irish!!!   Best wishes to you!!!!

    The t-shirts I tried to order....still a "grrrrr"  have one e-mail confirming my order; another that the item is not available--still no charge to my credit card, so who knows--I tried--best I could do!

    Somone's getting close to starting a new job--I'm excited and laying in a big supply of booze to help celebrate.    You absolutely must post your schedules for us!   We have several "trips" coming up--some fun, some NOT!   But, it would be a hoot to finally meet you--I promise not to ask for free drinks!!!

    big huggggssssss to all!!!

    hmmmm. where is everyone????   It is getting really nasty here right now and I don't like it!  It is thundering, raining, sleeting--trees are starting to freeze up, can see ice building up.  This might be our first major ice storm here.   I do not like ice storms!   Don't know the path of this quirky storm--hope it missed Donna and Sam and will miss Christine.

    If it gets really bad, I'm in trouble--need a ML run!  Should have done it earlier today!  May have to get into the hard stuff tomorrow!  OMG...don't know how I'll cope if elec goes out!   Have done it before several times but years ago and much younger...stressing out...only one thing to do--grab one of the few remaining ML's and bottoms up!

    ...later......

    Junie - know what you mean with this wierd weather.  We had a thunderstorm yesterday morning that left the ground covered in hail/iceballs.  Really weird. It looked like someone spilt their bag of popcorn.  It did finally melt off late morning.

    My dh and I took another little road trip Saturday to the casino in OK.  This time we went alittle farther south and went to the one right outside Newkirk.  I was so glad we did - much better than the one right across the border.  It was the first time I played a table game in OK and was surprised you had to put a 50 cent ante on every hand that the state just took.  Really weird, but I did when about $50.  Hubby won over $300 on the penny machines - and he hates slots!!!

    Hope everyone has a great day - still thinking about the ES get together, won't really know if able until after my March 17th boob job - I finally decided I miss my boob after 23 months and want to have a matching pair.

    Cheers

    Hi everyone .. there's a nice cyberbeach thread here if you all want to check it out and pretend to bask in the sun and sea air .. it's under growing our friendships and it's called lifes a beach!   Great people and a calm, relaxing place.  Especially nice to go to with all the snow and ice outside!

    Sam .. I just had my exchange surgery on January 2nd!  Only thing left to do is get nipples.  Wishing you all the best.

    Hi friends~

    Junie - I had freezing rain at my house last night too!  For about 15 minutes it came down like a cow pissin' on a flat rock!  And the temp was right at 32...but all was good this morning!  Be sure and stock up on the ML.  How scary for you to have run out during such a critical time! LOL!

    Charlene - that cyberbeach sounds good!  Are they serving tropical drinks with little umbrellas in them?

    Sam - good luck with your St. Titty Day, I mean St. Patty Day boob job.  Laughing  So will you make it to ES in April?

    Traci - I told BF that one of my "sistas" was a realtor in Palm Harbor, and that we were planning on getting together for a drink or two or so.  I need to make sure Marsha! Marsha! Marsha! can make it too!  I was her secret pal, and she showered me with lovely gifts...

    Okay - need to get off here (damn job)

    Everyone have a great evening!

    Cheers

    Hmmmmmmm.......

    I posted here a few days ago but my laptop froze so it didn't go through and I was too tired to type it all again!  :-/

    It's pleasant enough here in Atlanta but more snow than I care to see, or think about, back home in Chicago. I'll be out of here Friday evening and hopefully will have passed my re-qualification drills.

    I'm still not drinking. I do miss it but I made a commitment to myself and will stick to it, but watch out in March! :)

    Until then, cheers!

    Man...I've been laughing my ass off on some of the threads today! Funny stuff.

    Charlene, are you happy with your exchange? I've been drinking heavily since I got mine. Frown Whatever....time will tell.

    Donna...does your BF wanna buy a house while y'all are here?? If so, I can hook her up!!! Looking forward to meeting you girl. And Marsha, Marsha, Marsha too! lol!

    I need a great recipe for Chocolate Martinis.

    OK.

    What is everyone's favorite drinking game?

    I used to play pass out but a friend of mine and I took a Monopoly Board and "modified"  it and called it Monopoly My A..
