    Hi drinkin' buds.

    Shel - welcome back! Glad to hear you helped the Mexican economy by drinking your share of Coronas!

    Helped the BF's parents move this weekend. Definitely ready for a glass (or two, or three) of wine.

    Cheers!

    Well, I've been drinking a new Merlot that tastes more like a Cabernet. Not the best but cheap! Nothing else, just work and wine.....

    Cheers!

    Happy Birthday, Cheryl!! Hope you have a great dinner.

    Welcome home, Shel. I hope you took time to really relax and unwind. Those Coronas are good! Even better in Mexico I'm sure. Gimmee mine with a slice of lime and a hottie on the side .

    Cheers all

    Dinner was very good. we went to Bahama Breeze. Never been there before. But since I was driving and it was raing cats & dogs I din't drink. Although I may have a wine cooler now!

    Thank you all for the well wishes

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY one more time! And bottoms up Girl! Every damn birthday from here on ouit should be CELEBRATED!!!

    Me, I'm trying to chill after my sump pump went out. The two plumbers I called never called me back but luckily my aunt's husb (he's SUCH a nice guy!) came over, we trecked over to The Home Depot to get a new pump, and he installed it no problem! Oh, to have man muscles (the useful kind, not the fun kind!) available all the time! I know how to do LOTS of things around the house, I just can tighten or loosen the things that men can (ugh!). I'm not as physcially strong now as I was before BC.

    Well, cheers Ladies! I'm off to la-la land as I have to be at work by 6 a.m. tomorrow!

    Hey single ladies (and those who want to be or should be)
    Drink triple, see double, and act single.
    I'm gonna try this one!
    Wondering if I can drink enough to see double men instead of one...oh wait...threw the one I had out.
    I'm supposed to be working...I really need a drink!
    HI JAN...

    Reality is an illusion that occurs due to the lack of alcohol.
    The reality is...I'm at work, I'm tired, I need a drink and they won't even give me an office with a window! Oh and I could use a man...just for a little while LOL.
    Sorry ladies...menopausal maniac women today for some reason...

    Just go ahead and rant on Vickie!! We've all been there. I was the crazy menopausal woman yesterday, so it's someone else's turn today .

    Don't worry, there will be lots of time for a few alcoholic beverages when you get home! I'm stuck, here at home, recovering from my revision surgery, but I can't bring myself to drink alone in the middle of the day. Why is it that I can drink alone at night if DH isn't here? It's one of the great mysteries of the universe .

    Cheers!

    Remember Cheers...I loved that show...especially Norm with all his wise cracks.

    SAM: What's new, Normie? NORM: Terrorists, Sam. They've taken over my stomach and they're demanding beer. --
    SAM: What'd you like, Normie? NORM: A reason to live. Give me another beer. --
    SAM: What'll you have Normie? NORM: Well, I'm in a gambling mood, Sammy. I'll take a glass of whatever comes out of that tap. SAM: Looks like beer, Norm. NORM: Call me Mister Lucky. --
    WOODY: What's the story, Mr. Peterson? NORM: The Bobbsey twins go to the brewery. Let's cut to the happy ending. --
    WOODY: Hey, Mr. Peterson, there's a cold one waiting for you. NORM: I know. If she calls, I'm not here. --
    WOODY: How's it going, Mr. Peterson? NORM: Poor. WOODY: I'm sorry to hear that. NORM: No, I mean pour. --
    WOODY: Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson? NORM: All right, but stop me at one. Make that one-thirty. --
    WOODY: What's going on, Mr. Peterson? NORM: The question is what's going in Mr. Peterson? A beer please, Woody. --
    WOODY: How would a beer feel, Mr. Peterson? NORM: Pretty nervous if I was in the room. --
    WOODY: Hey, Mr. Peterson, what's up? NORM: The warranty on my liver. --
    SAM: What do you say, Norm? NORM: Any cheap, tawdry thing that'll get me a beer. --
    COACH: What would you say to a beer, Normie? NORM: Daddy wuvs you. --
    SAM: What do you know there, Norm? NORM: How to sit. How to drink. Want to quiz me? --
    COACH: Can I draw you a beer, Norm? NORM: No, I know what they look like. Just pour me one. --
    CLIFF: Hey, Norm, What's up? NORM: My blood-alcohol level. --

    It's gonna be a beer bath for me tomorrow morning. I'd take a beer bath tonight and stroll around the neighborhood but we have nothing of interest out in the sticks where I am. Coyotes, bears and bats...oh my!

    Vickie - you're on a roll today girl! I'll join you for that drink right now too! What shall we have? Mojito? Cosmo? Marg? Beer? Wine?

    I LOVED Cheers! It's my favorite comedy show of all time.

    Speaking of Cheers, did anyone see Kirstie Alley in a bikini on yesterday's Oprah? I tivo'd it. She looked pretty good considering where she was last year or whenever it was. That took guts, for sure to walk out on stage in front of millions!

    Cheers to Kirstie (and all us drinkin' buds)

    goes with my whiny day LOL.
    I didn't see Kirstie Alley...wish I had...she's a great actress and I actually have a friend that looks so much like her it's scary! They could be twins they look so much alike.
    Back to work
    honest!

    Wow, girlfriend, you are on a roll today. I loved Cheers, too. Kinda reminds me of my life lol!

    Vickie, Coopersburg is near the Allentown area. If I drove straight up the PA turnpike, I'd be near Binghamton.

    I forgot to watch Kristie on Oprah yeaterday. Oprah kinda gets on my nerves once in a while and I just started watching something else. Oh well.

    I think I've waited long enough. There is a Cosmo calling my name. Adios!

    OMG! She TOTALLY gets on my nerves and I haven't really watched her in years! I admire her for coming from 'nothing' and making 'something' of herself, but I kind of get the feeling when I watch her program (again, it's very rare that I do) that she's full of herself. As always, JMO.....

    I know where Allentown is so your not to far away from me Jan! I used to take my daughter there to meet her boyfriend.
    I haven't seen Oprah in years either but my sister watches her faithfully ever day...I can't stay awake long enough to watch anything.

    LOL- Vickie, you sound like you had a great time all day today, really did you start drinking early?
    You are on a roll and with what you've been thru, it reminds me, my mom used to say, if you can't laugh, you'll cry. I am glad you are finding some humor.

    Oh and in regards to Kirstie, I missed the show and the late night rerun, but I saw her on my Yahoo home page headline, if I started a year ago, could I have lost 70+ lbs? It seems like I did start, but gained instead. Remember she did not have cancer, chemo, AI's and probably had a trainer and a chef (Jenny Craig) She does look great.
    Cheers to Kirstie and the almost half of herself she lost, while finding her real self.

    Boy, do I agree, Janis!! I watched her for years and also admired the life she made for herself. She is a very bright woman. She started bugging me when she would interupt her "expert" guests and act like she was the "expert". Sometime I would have to ask myself when she got her degree in Psychology . The final straw was when she started acting like she sat on the right hand of God. For crying out loud!!! Like she is the friggin' Queen of the Universe. That's enough ranting for today .

    This my last day home from work. The last weekday of early drinking.....Back to the grind tomorrow . We want to win the lottery! I could afford to buy really good wine then .

    Cheers to all!

    Hi ladies,

    It's been awhile. Just one comment on Oprah... She sure does love herself. I hate that she always is looking at herself in the monitor, and if the shot is less than flattering they tighten it up. Wish I could tighten up like that. How 'bout those phony, air-brushed magazine covers? Okay, that's it. I guess it was more than one comment.

    Lini, I agree she is so in love with herself, she is all about how wonderful she is, i use to like her but now, she is just way to self absorbed.
