    Ok nomore work for me. I am a lunch lady and am off all summer YIPPEE... I will enjoy a few beers On the 4th.
    ok how about a few silly jokes

    A noise woke me up this morning.
    What was that?
    The crack of dawn!

    Why did the man take a pencil to bed?
    To draw the curtains!

    What is full of holes but can still hold water?
    A sponge!

    Enjoy your summer vacation Ginna!

    I have been absent from this thread for days ~ but I have a confession to make. Tonight I committed a sin. Yes, I did. I had my merlot with dinner tonight ~ gulp ~ I'm not even sure I can bring myself to say it ~ from a tetra pak!!!!!!!!

    And it was "okay". It was certainly drinkable. I just never thought I would go that route. But it's meant to be "environmentally friendly" and it's all the rage in Europe now (this one was from France). I was going to buy a chardonnay for those at dinner who like white (also thinking I wouldn't be wasting an entire bottle ~ ha, like there is ever "waste", but you know what I mean!). A very nice gentleman was walking past me, saw me with the bottle of Lindeman's chardonnay and checking out the Australian tetra pak (I believe it was called White Alice) ~ he screwed up his face and told me I'd be very disappointed, that all he could taste when he tried it was the packaging. So I stayed with the bottle.

    But I took the plunge, tried tetra pak Merlot from France and it was "okay". Hopefully I will still be considered a wine snob by those who have deemed me as such all these years. I would hate to be "de-throned"!!

    Yes Shel, I do! It comes in a 3 pack and I used one ~ perfect for picnics, and tossing in suitcases (I commented that it looks like a rolled up pair of socks and would fit nicely tucked in the corner of a suitcase or backpack for hiking) and I'm sure breast fills (although I did not see that one listed on the label ~ have we not though, learned through bc to be creative and invent new things as we go along?!)

    Good luck with that ~ I know you are not looking forward to it, but think of the end result ....

    Question for you ladies. I just had two beers and want a cocktail now. So is it:
    Beer before liquor never sicker,
    Liquor before beer never fear.

    Or

    Beer before liquor never fear,
    Liquor before beer never sicker.

    I don't want to get sick and miss the fireworks. Maybe I should just stick with the beer, but it is so filling.

    So, I'm sticking with the beer. I found this on a website.


    SOMETIMES "OLD WIVES" ARE RIGHT!

    You've heard them and we'll tell you why they're true.

    "Don't mix liquors"---Mixing up the types of alcohol you consume makes it almost impossible for your bod to separate them for metabolizing.

    "Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, never fear"---The carbonation in the beer causes the body to absorb the liquor much quicker and takes it to your head faster.

    My rule is margaritas before...
    wine from the year of my birth. What a celebration! 1962 Vega-Sicilia "Unico" Ribera del Duero from Spain.
    Time to get busy with dinner/wine.
    I'll check back in and let you know how this wine, dinner and fireworks turn out.

    Hey sistas - checking in from Key West. I am SURE I have you all beat on the "who's been the baddest of them all". Last night after having a bottle of wine with dinner, BF and I went to Durty Harry's and listened to an ass-kicking rock-n-roll band where I continued to live it up and started on Grey Goose & tonics.

    Anywho - a waitress walks by with a tray of jello shots (oh yeah, had one of those too) and I made BF stand up (we were sitting at the bar, which is in the front of the place, so everyone could see us - glad I don't ever have to see any of those people again) and I take the jello shot, unzip his fly, place the shot inside his fly, then squatted down and sucked the jello shot. I am sure from about every viewpoint in the place, it looked like BF was getting a BJ.

    Don't remember stumbling back to the Key Lime Inn....geez...really outdid myself. Can't believe I wasn't barfing after the combo I drank. BUT - I'm in Key West, so whaddya gonna do? Hair of the dog baby...

    Still haven't had sex on the beach yet (not the drink) but I'll keep you girls abreast...

    Cheers everyone and Happy 4th of July!!!

    LIAR LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!!!

    DIDJA, REALLY? OMG!!

    All I used to do when I drank was ....sleep

    Then, I could drink like a sailor !!!!!

    After BC, and meds....I NEVER KNOW!

    ....it's not a joke...the friggin meds (or my tolerance) have changed how I react to alcohol...

    so....even after not drinking out of fear, then of drinking because I LIKE IT...I've had a few...oops!
    I have gotten soooooooo drunk....

    but I've never had a jello shot!

    OMG! Yes I really did the jello shot from BF's fly.

    We're having so much fun here, we've decided to stay at least one more night, maybe two. We just have to be back in Miami by Sat afternoon to catch a flight back to reality (aka boring ole Oklahoma).

    So - I don't expect to top what I did Mon night, but ya never know...

    We took the "Ultimate Adventure" tour today. Took a catamaran w/ about 80 other people out to the reef. We snorkled, parasailed, jet skied and kayaked. Just waiting for BF to get out of the bathroom so I can shower and I think we're gonna check out the Green Parrot. It's a dive bar here that's supposed to be loads of fun. Wonder if they have jello shots there....

    I will do my best to either make you all proud of me or totally embarassed to say you "know" me. Only thing is, there's not a lot of beach in Key West so we may have to get creative..

    Cheers everyone. It's 5 0'clock somewhere.
