    How is it that I have spent almost 2 years on and off this site and never saw this group? Is there room for one more at the bar? Vickie, I have a spare bucket for you... 4 days with no vino makes teena a mildly grumpy girl.

    I opted for a dirty martini tonight. My pome juice went bad. I was so craving a pome martini.

    Teena - Glad you finally made it over to the best thread here. No fuss, no muss, just good times.

    Hey Teena, do you live in the city or the 'burbs? What's your drink of choice? Again, welcome.

    I'm on my third (maybe fourth?) merlot...and I just got philosophical over in debate. Time to join the drinkers, methinks...

    Hi Vicki,

    I knew you'd be over soon. I'd much rather talk about unimportant crap like favorite drinks and stuff.

    Okay, so the alternative thread has got me freaked out, I am tired of reading about nutrition and supplements. So, I googled "organic wine" and one of my faves is on the list!

    WOO HOO! YAY to "Frog's Leap"

    I am drinking in good conscience.

    My tummy is starting to burn from my martini. I think I'm going to have to give it up.

    oh crap...just dropped and busted my last bottle of wine on the floor. aaaauuuuggghhhh. Guess it either a straw to suck it up or peanut butter cup ice cream. Guess I'm stuck with ice cream until tomorrow. Have one for me ladies.

    The brand is Frog's Leap? Where do you get it and which varieties do the make. I need to get a conscience. PC and all that BS

    That's no good Vickie. Maybe Vicki will share her Frog's Leap, if she has any left??

    I love to share. Let me look at the bottle...I think it's a California...yep, "Rutherford, CA" wherever that is!

    It is available here in CT...pricier than my usual $9.99 bottle, though!

    Cheers!

    Bring a straw Lini...pretty sure there is more running under the d*mn refrigerator!! Nathaniel's kitten thought she'd give it a try...wish I'd have gotten a picture of that, poor cat...sneezing and coughing.

    Oh, I hate cleaning up messes like that, but I'll come by with my mop and help out. Poor kitty. Hope she doesn't get sick. Then it'll be cat puke to clean up. I'll leave that one to you.

    Thanks for the warm welcome! Lini- I just posted back to you on the reconstruction site. Thinking I should have posted my hospital release story here? Janice, I'm on the Northside, you? And although I love a good Filty Goose Martini, tonite it's J. Lohr Chardonnay. Needed to wean my way back in after Friday's surgery.

    Vickie - are you crying? How long has it been since you mopped....has the wine been on the floor longer than 5 seconds? Get the straw.

    Teena - welcome! There is always an open seat at the bar here.

    I had a rum & coke, but I am wanting to open a bottle of wine....

    Trying to be good for the wasteline, but it never seems to work out that way. And I wonder why I can't lose any weight.

    Cheers (with rum for now)

    Well Vickie, I've been wondering what to send you for your birthday- and now I know. Thanks for making shopping so easy! And it took me until now to realize your avitar is not you as a child...

    Well, I'm not one to complain( ) but WTF? It's a frickin' Debate board which explicitly states under it's description that controversial subjects might upset some who enter.

    Yep, this thread is the best! Enjoy your wine!

    Nope...that's a picture I found called "butterfly kisses" that just makes me feel like she's the little girl inside me waiting to heal and getting butterfly kisses all day.

    I'd gladly share mine if you lived nearby..... I say get a sponge, soak it up and if there are any germs, well, isn't that what alcohol is for?
