    Deb a chocolate coke was super popular back in the day they had soda fountains,--Yes I remember and they were so good, don't even like coke but when u mix it with chocolate how can u go wrong.? I drank them too, just never think about it now, since I'm an adult and have much more to choose from.

    mdnghtDeb, 

    Chocolate cokes were popular in the 60s, at the dime store, coffee shop. You are probably younger than most of us. I think they were a dime when I was 10 or so. Chevy said she remembered buying them for a  nickel....

    Hole now u know how old Chevy is, cuz even mine were a dime---geeze she doesn't let go of something does she.?

    Oh it's all right she's sleeping now so we can talk about her all we want.

    In fact BTW they used to make I think it was called chocolate cola by Canfields for a while, or fudge chocolate cola and if u put a lot of ice it wasn't bad. But I don't see that anymore

    Camil - now those look very yummy! :) I will take one with a little umbrella please!

    Holeinone - Omg...seriously, a dime? a nickel? Omg! ...but not really sure I would like choc coke. Hmmm. I'm thinking the umbrella drink from camil. LOL

    a lot of catching up to do. Sheesh

    Enerva, love all the cute owl pix. I must be looking in the wrong places.

    Chevy, so is chocolate coke just that simple? Coke with chocolate syrup? Our closest Sonic is about 25 miles away, usually not in that area. I tried looking at the link, I just got an "AOL Oops page." Sounds like you have a regular show outside your window.

    Love seeing all the clown stories, always brings a smile.

    Made enchiladas for dinner, have a kitchen to clean. Amazing how long it takes to prepare, finished in a couple minutes, then a while to clean up. Would have been worth it if DH hadn't complained about everything. Should have just made it like a casserole, stacked like a lasagna, but rolled them individually as DH hates cheese (who hates cheese anyway?) while DD and I love it.

    Would mention I just heard our weather report, but afraid I'd get my access to this thread taken away.

    Maddy...I'm with you...who hates cheese? Oh dear! Cheese goes with everything! LOL! I gave it up for Lent one year...never ever again!

    mnDeb, so agree, cheese and chocolate are two things there shouldn't be limits of (excuse ending a sentence with a dangling participle), and not eaten together of course! Ok, time to put down the Mexican hot chocolate and go clean up the kitchen. Hoping it doesn't take too long

    2ndtimeMaddy, got any leftovers? I love enchiladas, I had a baked potato & broccoli for dinner, boring

    So lets have a fun umbrella drink, toast to Smaarty birthday & let the fun begin

    Good idea Cami, Chevys sleeping, we will sneak out & get the party started

    Holeinone - Sound like a plan! Who's in? This could be a very interesting party. LOL!

    Deb, what are we drinking? I think a lemon-drop martini sounds tasty. They are strong but ohh so good. 

  • mdnghtdeb3
    mdnghtdeb3 Member Posts: 125

    Holeinone - That sounds yummy! Never had one, but I love lemon anything. So, lemon-drop martini it is! Can I still have an umbrella in it?

    oh ya, but 2 my  limit....cause I have become a light weight, no alcohol for 6 months has turned me into a whimp... I tested out Friday night at my "done with rads party", good red wine, hit me quick, but was oh so fun to indulge a little.

    I think we should have all of the above! If that doesn't cure d or c then the heck with it! I'll be 64 tomorrow. I can remember loaf of bread at .39. When I was making $3.50 an hour that was a good wage. 

  • mdnghtdeb3

    You had a "done with rads party"? Omg! I think that is awesome!!! Yay!!!

    No alcohol allowed during rads?

    Two is plenty. We will already have sugar buzz going with the chocolate cake on the side. LOL!

    Mdngtdeb- I did not know about coffee opening up the airways. Will try that, thank you for sharing that!

    I am just now finishing work, got a lot done by working at home today. But a very mixed day as I have had two friends who have lost family members this past weekend, and one called today about one of those losses. I knew her mom well and knew her mom was failing and the mom passed yesterday. We had a good long talk though, which felt good. My mom passed two years ago this March and just know how hard it all is at the end. Writing sympathy cards and going to a funeral this weekend.

    But a nice surprise too, a friend from back east going to be in town and invited me to go up north to my fav hot springs in March for my birthday. Some hot spring soaking and girl time. I said "count me in."

    What a day, time for bed!

    mdnghtDeb, 

    Alcohol during rads in moderation, I think is fine. I did have a few beers, but was still feeling the after effects of chemo & trying to be sensible. 

    I have read here & on the Komen board that you are supposed to abstain from alcohol or limit yourself to 3 drinks a week....that is going to be challenging during golf season,,,

    Jazzygirl - Yep. The coffee works when in a tight spot. The caffeine is a bronchodilator (kind of like your albuterol)! Really can help wheezing when no meds around or just not doing the trick. 

    So sorry to hear about your friends, and your losses! Hugs!

    Hot spring soaking AND girl time...awesome!
