how about drinking?

Husker, I am really sorry that you have all of this tough research to do. If it's any consolation, you are doing a great job.

Lovehertons, welcome to our lounge. Most of the men, well all of them, are our Tattie Tenders . The name of the lounge here is The Hot Tatties Lounge and we have Tattie Tenders instead of bar tenders. Are you interviewing for job? Just kidding, glad to know your wife is a trooper, we are all troopers here as well. Hope you enjoyed that Makers Mark.

Maybe I can hog the Tenders today. You had your share last night DorK. Hope you are up in time for work.

WAKE UP

Here is another one you can research Husker

BEAM ME UP SCOTTY

Layer all ingredients

Good morning, Loungettes! Nice and warm here this morning, 33 degrees and the sun isn't even up yet! Yeah! Long day yesterday, everyone wanted to be seen in the afternoon. Wound up making my last visit at 6 pm. If I'd known the day was going to go like that I'd have slept in and gone to church and then gone to work. Oh, well, so it goes.

Scuby--glad the package was helpful!

Goldie--I've never seen the Blue Man Group but I would love to! Maybe next time I'm in Vegas I can catch them there. BOYS pick me up sounds good! I like that name! And the Birthday Girl drink will takes years off anyone's life! I'm going to have to order that sometime when I'm out and have a chauffeur to get me home, it would probably make me very, very silly!

DorK--Happy B-day to your Mom, even if she doesn't realize it. Memory loss is such a hard thing to see.

Karen--I've often wondered if the psychs and shrinks and such who tell us not to drink are totally abstinate themselves. There is a difference, after all, between enjoying a drink now and again and using drinking to avoid coping. I simply refuse to give up enjoying a drink now and again, or even more often if I want to just because the beast bit me or I take certain medications or I'm afraid the beast will come back. What's the point of being alive if you can't enjoy life? I simply will NOT give that much control of my life to the beast or fear of the beast. Oh, my, I've gotten up on my soapbox again, and so early in the morning, too!

Stanzie--Animals ARE amazing, aren't they? Sadie is rough and tumble with me, playing tug and fetch and so on, but the moment she gets near a baby she becomes the calmest, gentlest dog you can imagine. The same with small children, too, although she will sneak licks of popsicles if she gets any chance! If only I could read people as well as a dog can!

Beanie--The good thing about a virtual lounge is that you can take it everywhere with you! We're all thinking about you, and miss you when you are off working and living life. Drop in when you can!

Loverhtons--Welcome to the HTL! Sounds like your DW is having a great time, good for her, and good for you for supporting her! Showing my ignorance, here, what is Makers Mark? I'm guessing it's a whiskey?

Hjusker--Oh, my, what a hard job you have, and you are holding up under the stress soo well! I bet the hot chocolate and Kahlua combo was great, I can just imagine it now. Still not sure about Kahlua and coke, but I'm willing to taste it sometime. Keep up the good work!

Karen--I know what you mean about having a busy day and not having a handle on it. I always feel like I'm missing something on days like that. Hope the reading helps you relax. Annoying to have a pain and not be able to really describe where it is, isn't it?

DorK--What do you say we make Lovehertons an honorary HTL Goil? Me thinks that would make things easier for everyone and Lover won't feel so different! It must be hard to not be able to really talk to your Mom {{{{{hugs}}}}}

In Reaching His plane seat, a Man ​​Is surprised to see a parrot strapped Into the seat next to HIM. Asks the man the stewardess for a cup of coffee and the parrot squawks, "And Why do not you get me a whiskey you bitch." The stewardess, flustered by the parrot's outburst, Bring back a whiskey for the parrot order inadvertently forgets the man's cup of coffee. As the man nicely points out the omission o f historical coffee to the stewardess, the parrot downs drink history and shouts, "And get me Another whiskey you slut." Visibly shaken, the stewardess Comes back with the parrot's goal whiskey still no coffee for the man. Such unaccustomed to slackness, the man RESOLVED That He Is going to try the parrots approach, "I've Asked You Twice for a cup of coffee wench, I expect you to get it for me right now or I'm going to slap That disgustingly ugly face of yours! " Next Thing They Know, Both the man and the parrot are wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards to the ground the parrot turns to the man and says, "For Someone Who Can not fly, you sure are a lippy bastard ...

Kymn, I love that you had an "alright weekend", that is progress, goil. Glad you had some time with the kids and also some DY (dear you) time. And of course you will find love again or love will find you. You are so young and so berry beuatiful and will make a man berry happy. I know you are not looking for that right now but dese tings happen when we least expect dem to. Tanks for stopping in and sharing. Can you join me at de bar? It has been a widdle lonely in here lately.

So, many of you goils know that I am not the best appointment keeper. Sitting in work today, I hear dis weird sound and eberybody around was wondering what this noise was. I finally realized it was coming from my handbag. I opened my cell phone and there was nothing there, no missed calls, no texts. I was like "dat was weird but it wasn't my cell as that is not my ring tone". So dis happens a few minutes later and dis time me had de phone on my desk. I opened it and walaaa, it was a reminder, at 8:50 in the morning, that I had an appt with the hand surgeon at 9am. ooooops. So i called and told dem I messed up and asked if I really need to come in since my soygery was back in Oct and all is well. So I am discharged for life with this doc (hopefully). My point....set that reminder so long ago, using advise from my dear Chrissy B and freaking forgot that I had done it and apparently, set it without long enough of a reminder. I will go back to keeping all my appointments on my wall calendar at home and also enter them in my work outlook and set up proper reminders. BC has toyned me into such a dunce!! Mese is starting to tink that all dis dwinking weally does kill de brain cells.

Well mese gotta go and help de Stella study. She is studying her Beanglish and has a big test in de aye em. I be back later though. Someone, anyone, join me? I won't be but five minutes cuz de Stella is berry smart. And if she a good goil, I will bwing her to de lounge to parTAY.

CheerZ my lovlies!!

Hi girls,let the drinking begin! It's been a busy week. Been doing more BC research (aka second guessing my doctors). And dealing with my car which needs things I can't begin to understand,boots coils,wires???. Then you have the over protective father working on a big project-making 2 security doors for my sliding door the likes of which Fort Knox has never seen. I'm his assistant,handing him tools that I can only hope are the ones he's asking for. And of course spending time w/the puppies. MEMA-They are part chihuahua and part short haired terrier,very cute. And in between all of that is my relaxing time,which i've been spending working on my rocks. Missed you all,missed the drinking! But you can't operate machinery while drinking-or so i'm told. Tonite is a white chocolate nite, O'reilly's if anyone's interested. Imported from Ireland but sold in minnesota. Anyone going to mn,i'm a little low? CHEERS!

I miss wahine as well.

A guy goes to pick up his date for the evening. She's not ready yet, so he has to sit in the living room with her parents.
He has a bad case of gas and really needs to releive some pressure.
Luckly, the family dog jumps up on the couch next to him. He decides that he can let a little fart out and if anyone notices they will think that the dog did it.
He farts, and the woman yells, "Spot, get down from there."
The guy thinks, "Great, they think the dog did it." He releases another fart, and the woman again yells for the dog to get down.
This goes on for a couple more farts. Finally the woman yells, "Dammit Spot, get down before he shits on you."
 

Husker-You're right about that but I meant to clarify-It's the white chocolate that is so elusive. I find every other flavour in all the stores except that one. But for close to 30.00 you can buy Godiva's version. Which I just might do because if it tastes anything like their candy it will be worth it. Ok,4am and I guess I should get some sleep. Have to pick dad up in the morning. Tomorrow I think we're putting in the moat and piranhas. Kidding.....maybe.

Kymn, I am certain you will find yourself in a relationship some day. Don't rush it, and don't jump on the first man that comes along. Well, you can jump him, but don't rush into a relationship!

Mema, I didn't think it was anything serious about the plant protectors, just wondering what the discussion was, thinking maybe I could help. I can't wait to try some myself. DorK and MrsV both have a Bella too! Glad Baxter will hab someone to pway wif. I thought that was you in the picture, then saw it was your GF.

That Banana Bread beer, wow......I would like to try that. Can't imagine banana and beer together!

DorK, Pat can have one the wenches wait on him, don't ya think? And yes, a great idea for him to bwing his wifey. Is your mom home yet, or still in the hospital. Sorry to hear she is having a time with PS. The poor dear, hoping her pain is minimal DorK. LMAO dear DorKiest.......your phone story, that is a classic! I too have to write everything down, or I foyget.

Karen, I bet those poochies could do some damage too, while playing around!

Unde, that is cute that your daddy wants you safe. What do you do with rocks? Wow, you are the party animal, just going to bed at 4 ayem! LOL, at the moat and piranhas!

Alli, I will have to go back and look at Scuby's hair. You know Kathy went red there, for a while too. Wishing you all the luck in the world, that you don't have to take more meds. Praying VERY VERY hard for that one. I may go in and have the rest of my innards taken out, they already took my uterus. I wonder how the rest comes out, since you mentioned 3 ways. Guess I will find out in a few months. Good to hear you are feeling GOOT!

NM, I see you were tinking like me, for de wenches to pamper our new visitor. Recording of Mischa and Bear..........heck how about a video? And now I am funcused on the O'reily's. Is it candy or likker? "Here's To Our Parents", sure glad we don't have any calories in our dwinks!

Since it's Twosday, we should have 2 dwinks. So I am gonna add one with the O'reilly's for Undy.

Undy, here is an online store where you can purchase your O'Reilly's White Chocolate, $10.99.

Goldie-You found my shirt!!  You are such a computer whiz kid, thanks!

Undie-Gotta luv the dads!  I want my own moat and piranahs!! Lucky girl!

Mrs. V-Good to see you here, thinking of you during your appt today.  Let us know how it goes.

Dorthy- you and your familiy are still in my prayers, thinking of you often.

Off to take the boys to school but back in a bit, home for the day and have lots of questions for the loungettes before my next ONC visit.
