    Oh you ladies are a hoot! Lini, I'll walkk along with ya. I'm not drinking tonight but I just had to have some wine the past two nights. I think I can find that fine line between not drinking at all and drinking too much!

    Lini, I can not lose weight either. Started this BC journey at 165, stayed there all the way through till about December, i have gained about 2 or 3 more. I do know that my Thyroid TSH Level went up about 3 points so I think that is where the extra weight is coming from. I have to get at least 5lbs off before surgery on the 16th of August. We shall see.

    You ladies are such a hoot!!!!!!!

    Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

    A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

    Janis - enjoy your new scotch.

    I would personally reply back to all of you with whom I had thoughts of as recently as 5 minutes ago - but I think I've had too much. To drink. And all that and everything.

    Nood Gight & cheers!!:)

    Hello Ladies!

    No,I'm not drinking yet - only 9:30 in the morning here! (AH, but it's 5 o' clock somewhere!) Just kidding.

    I am just checking in - have been lurking, but not posting much lately.

    Welcome to the club kat! I think we are all Big Glasser's here! Love that RED wine. Actually, went out to dinner the other night and had a margarita with chambord. It was wonderful! Yum.

    Shel - sorry to hear you are dealing with the expanders. Hoepfully, you will be through this stage in no time at all.

    I am off on a vacation for the next few days! Woo-hoo! I plan on eating and drinking and relaxing the days away. I am going with my husband and another couple to the coast. Should be fun.

    HERO - I plan on staying away from fish; and drinking all night on the beach - LOL

    I hear what you are saying about husbands just not "getting-it." They don't, they can't, and they never will. Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone, but my husband is wonderful (most of the time - lol) and HE doesn't get it! He tries to understand, but....it's a waste of breath. I have irrational fears - duh! WHo wouldn't? I don't eat red meat, but I use hair spray and drink alcohol. I guess because I am a walking contradiction, it would be impossible to understand. I have made choices on what I will sacrifice and what I won't, that's all.

    Sorry - I am rambling - really, not drinking, just rambling!
