how about drinking?
Comments

Goldie - Glad you drank the bottle- it sure would have broken! HaHa!! I too am sorry to hear about Memasue.
NM- so glad you have your dogs. Your home must feel full and lively now. It will be so nice when the weather gets warm to sit outside with them.
ChiSandy - you must be getting so excited about the wedding. It is coming up so quickly.
My cousin and his wife were here visiting from NY. It was so nice to see them. He just sent a picture of the snow he came home to. I love to see the family from NY. I am hoping to go up and visit them soon.

No scanxiety for me really, I’ve been stable in the body a good while now but I always have low level concerns about brain MRI’s, those little shits keep popping up.
Finding lots of funny things packing up, an old story I typed up in elementary school, a Christmas stocking I made for my cat when I was 6 or so and a work evaluation where I literally wrote “(insert profanity here)” in a rant about coworkers, lol.
-
Yup--the wedding is in a little over 3 weeks! Still waiting on Holy Clothing to ship the three "alternate" dresses (they said they're working on it--back in the day they never listed stuff that wasn't in stock, now apparently they make their dresses to order in India. Pandemic personnel issues, not just supply chain). Meanwhile, I'm nervous about being able to wear closed shoes for the wedding. Any sneakers roomy enough to walk in without much pain have me tripping over the extended soles and accidentally stepping on stuff.
Weather rollercoaster again: froze walking Sat. evening, today it almost hit 70.
DsOTD: Sun. night at Hugo's Frog Bar, Schramsberg Brut Blanc de Blancs; and 2020 Caymus Conumdrum white. (We won a magnum of it back in 2018 and have no idea what to serve it with, so I was curious). Last night at Chez Joel, a 2019 Sancerre. Tonight? Lavazza decaf K-cup (path of least resistance) and then water. Tomorrow? Irish coffee of course. Bob says that Notre Dame just won, and it was already 3/17 in S. Bend, which is on Eastern time. I'm not buying it. Too late at night for coffee, and if you're using decaf, you might as well just toss back a shot of Jameson's instead.
-
Lalbo, that drink is gorgeous! Too pretty to even drink! Are you going to attempt this one?
Misty, that story actually came from Chevy. I posted it for her. But yes, it would have broken! Glad you had family visit, I too love that.
BabyGirl, glad you don't get scanxiety, I think I would. Sending good juju that those little shits stay away. How fun in the findings! LOL at the work evaluation.
Sandy, I hope you get your dresses on time. I would be a nervouse wreck. Michigan weather has been the same.
So my email correspondences re my DH's bill have been with a Dave K. The bill has 2 phone numbers on it, a reg. number and an 800. I call the reg. one and get a voice mail "This is Dave......leave a message" I did not. I call the 800, press 2 if you are a patient. I press 2, and the phone just rings and rings. No one picks up, can't leave a message. WTH! So I sent another email. I will send another one today. I will also put together a letter to send to corporate and mail that tomorrow if I don't hear anything, but will continue to email every day. What do think? I checked with the foundation that he got the grant, and there is still over $11K in that, and I found nothing that they billed them for this $35 per day per diem.
-
Goldie - I was planning on attempting this drink this summer. I have the recipe in my phone so I can add the ingredients to my grocery list when I'm ready. I wish I had a bunch of cool looking glasses, but that's expensive. haha
I'd keep at those people relentlessly. They bank on people just rolling over and not pursuing things. I learned that in my short term disability and cancer claims with Aflac. I squeezed every penny out of them that I could.
ChiSandy - sending positive vibes your way that the dresses will arrive on time!!! My daughter got married Nov 2019, we did not have these issues. You got this!! :-)
Illimae - I love finding old things like that. I found some of my kids old school work and one was a little "book" that my daughter wrote about me. Apparently I was 6' tall and weigh 10lbs. (I'm 5'1"). I'm UQUICE (unique) and I drink wine (fact). We use uquice a lot now. haha
Happy St. Patricks Day all!

DOTD
You will need two parts orange vodka, one part pineapple juice, gold luster dust, and for garnish: gold sprinkles and/or rainbow candy.
To make, first, rim edge of your shot glasses with gold sprinkles. Set the glasses aside. Then, in an ice-filled shaking glass, combine the orange vodka, pineapple juice, and a sprinkle of gold luster dust. Finally, strain the mixture into the shot glasses and garnish with candy!
Happy St. Patrick's Day

-
Goldie,
Nora is precious!
-
Teka...I KNOW! Thank you. I can't wait to see her. She is my great neice, but more like a grand baby. My brother's first grand baby.
-
Lori -what an adorable picture of Nora. I need to email Chevy and ask for her fb name so we can become fb friends.
We got several inches of wet heavy snow but it melted off the streets by the end of the day. Thankfully, I could work from home this morning and not deal with messy roads. Supposed to be warm Saturday and Sunday and then snow again early next week. Spring time in the Rockies!!
Sandy - is the wedding April 2nd or the 9th? Look forward to seeing photos. Hope you get your dresses in time to have a choice.
DD#2 arrives in 26 days - not that I'm counting. Her birthday is Saturday! She will celebrate with her friends and we will celebrate her when she is here. DD#1 is also supposed to come and her b'day is early May so if she is here, we will also celebrate her!
I have labs at 7:45 tomorrow morning. Appt with hematologist is in 1 1/2 weeks and medical oncologist a couple weeks later. They do both labs at once. I will be able to see them on the patient portal probably by Monday.
One more week till spring vacation and it can't come soon enough!!
-
Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF Day! I got a "sorry, site is down" message when I tried to log in yesterday, had it pop up for a few minutes while trying to get on this ayem, but finally got through.
It's amazing the difference a week has made with the furry children! Zoe is asserting her dominance over Colt pretty regularly and looks to be the emerging Alpha. At the same time Colt's playing has become less rough and crazy. Both of them are initiating play and coming to me for attention and affection. Zoe slept on the bed with me and Colt most of last night, and she didn't jump off the bed every time I changed position. Both of them have discovered the kiddy pool, which was full of ice but is now melting, and both seem to like playing with and in the water. Both of them ended up smelling like wet dog last evening! I'm hoping for enough good weather, as in not actively raining or snowing) this weekend to start some training outside.
Goldie--yup, mud season is going to be intense this year, I think. Part of the price paid to share a home with furbabies! We're working out the space on the bed thing, got both of the doggos on the same side of me last night and I could actually straighten my legs out! I've got a queen size bed, so we do all fit, it's just a matter of positioning. And convincing Colt he doesn't get the exact middle of the bed! Springtime allergies can be the pits. I would think the infusion company would answer your email, at least to acknowledge that they got it and are working on it, if you send a copy of the emails sent and not answered to a regulatory committee or bureau they can lose their license to work in your state for violating basic informed consent and not providing required information. You need to stop going to the store on your bicycle!
Lalbo--beautiful drink!
Misty--I can't wait to be able to sit outside and watch the doggos play! I remember coming home to snow from February break vacay, it was jarring!
Illi--oh my goodness, "(insert profanity here)" is hilarious!
Chi--praying the dresses come in time!
Goldie--thanks for posting for Chevy! I hope you are saving/printing out all the emails to keep as a record of this whole mess. And stick to your guns, no explanation, no payment. No acceptable explanation, no payment. Also make notes of all the phone calls, dates/times/who you spoke with, what was said, or rang and no answer. When you can pull out a notebook and give dates/times/names/details it makes companies pay attention. Or creates a strong case if it goes to that level. I like the email every day approach.
Lalbo--love uquice!
Goldie--Love the leprachaun!And the drink, too! Oh My Gosh, look at Nora!!!!
Morning, Teka!
Karen--You must be so excited to have DD#2 coming to visit!

-
Karen, I didn't know your DD's were coming. You must be ecstatic! I know I would be. Good luck on thoses labs.
NM, I'm laughing at picturing you and the puppers all trying to get arranged in bed and good for Zoe for stepping up. Just so long as she doesn't get too big a head. No fighting kids! I only called each of those numbers once. And I do have all the emails. My email yesterday was asking if he could kindly point me a direction of someone that could help me. I find this to be VERY unprofessional! Letters going out today.
So I've had my phone for several years, an iPhone. Not long after DH passed, I picked up my phone and this picture of him appeared. I clicked on it, and it played about 15 pictures of him or him and I. Last night I pick up my phone and it plays these 2 videos, again of him or him and I. They had music to them and the second video that played the music was titled "Heaven"! My phone has NEVER done this before!
-
Lori - wow - how sweet to have those pictures and music show up on your phone. DD#2 is coming for just shy of 2 weeks for Passover. DD#2 wants to see her sister so she'll come for the second half of Passover. Her husband is not up to traveling. She will spend the sedars with him and his family and the next couple days. The GI bleed he had in November and so much loss of blood took its toll on hime - he was given 4 units of blood at the time. He is much better and feels good, but not up to his old self yet. And yes, I'm beyond excited to have the girls. I'm counting the days for DD#2 - 25 days - can't wait for her big hug! Still need to book ticket for DD#1.
Nice weather out today but still chilly.
Have a great a Friday.
-
Goldie, I think he's telling you he still loves you and he's OK.
-
Lori, just WOW! Either a divine intervention, amazing coincidence...or the Internet algorithms spy on us and reads our posts across platforms & devices. (Hope it's not the latter). Meanwhile, Nora is indeed adorable!
The wedding is Apr. 9, and we leave for NOLA on Thurs. morning the 7th. I'm not that worried about the Holy Clothing dresses, as they're backups (and the short green one is likely too small by now, given my alarmingly quickly expanding waistline--more about that later). Leslie likes the navy blue one with crystals (and I'm still waiting for the matching sandals). I also have the plum Azazie one (she'd rather her mom & I don't wear the exact same shade). Both of them still fit with a minimizer bra (amazingly, the Spanx brand one might be the best-fitting bra I own) and light-compression camisole. I have the short burgundy Holy Clothing one from 2015 (and it's still a bit roomy). So I won't exactly be out of luck, just short on options. I have a really cute trapeze dress--mostly red floral on black background--which would be great for the rehearsal or brunch (unless it's outdoors and the yellowjackets are already out in force).
I've been absent lately due to a nasty case of torticolis that came on Sun. night (why, I have no idea). Dragged my feet about going to the walk-in ortho clinic at Skokie, especially since I got stuck at the Subaru dealership for what I thought was a faulty tire pressure sensor but turned out to be three bum tires (the front two 8-yrs old and most of the way to balding, and one rear--despite being only 4 yrs old--with a couple of irreparable punctures and a screw embedded in the tread, courtesy of construction going on in our alleyway). By the time they were diagnosed, changed, balanced and my wheels aligned, it was too late to get to the clinic. I figure that if my neck & back still hurt on Wed. after my weigh-in I'll just go downstairs to the clinic.
Speaking of weight, my upper abdomen seems to have increased way out of proportion to the carb-cheating and limited exercise. My hair is also thinning, my resting pulse is in the 50s (and try as I might I've been unable to get up anywhere near my target rate), and I feel chilled all the time--even upstairs where it's warmer. Bob says to demand I get a TSH level tested (thyroid).
DsOTD: yesterday I did indeed make Irish Coffee: combined the dregs of last year's Jameson's & Bushmills with the Tullamore Dew Bob bought (a shame to put it in coffee, as Tully is eminently sippable). Bob got brown sugar/Splenda mix, I got brown Swerve monkfruit. And I hand-whipped heavy cream. Tonight (I'm making fish because Bob's observing Lent), Mumm Napa 2013 DVX brut.
-
Karen, I'm excited for you. I use this waiting time as exciting time, cuz it always comes and goes too quickly.
Sandy, I hope you're feeling better. I had to look up torticolis, didn't know what it was.
Wren, I totally agree it was DH telling me he's ok. But boy did I bawl like a baby!
Got my letters off yesterday. I just can't believe how unprofessional they are being. Just blows my mind. Tring to figure out what to get Nora for her b-day. Mom says she doesn't have much for outside. All I can think of is some kind of little riding toy. Any suggestions?
-
DOTD: Devine
This cocktail is homage to Harris Glenn Milstead, the famous drag queen Divine. It is a combination of three notorious tiki drinks: Blue Hawaii, Hurricane and Pina colada.
1/4 oz. Bols Blue curaçao
1 recipe Hurricane
1 recipe pina colada foam
3 pineapple leaves, for garnish
Pour blue curaçao into bottom of a pilsner glass. Add crushed ice to nearly top of glass. Layer Hurricane over top of blue curaçao and then top with piña colada foam.
Garnish with pineapple leaves, flag and a brightly coloured straw.

Lorrie, do you have trouble logging in here? I tried with Edge... can't do it! Then I tried with Chrome, and at least got to THIS thread. Is anyone else having problems?
-
ED, I use Microsoft Edge. My laptop stays on and I just leave BCO up, same with FB. So I don't turn my computer off unless I need to take it with me somewhere. I'm not sure if the browser matters. The site is just f'd up.
-
NM,
Colt & Zoe during Mud Season!! ;o))
-
I am now able to lurk and post. Yippee!
-
Hopefully, the forums "construction" is complete now! 4 days here is like forever.
No alcohol for the past 2 days (though I'd thought of making an Aperol spritz yesterday after my weigh-in, but it was just too cold & wet out for anything iced). I tried an "enhanced" K-up (antioxidants & extra caffeine), mocha flavor. Bleccch. (I think it was meant to be drunk with the "bulletproof" MCT-oil creamer advertised on the box, and I don't put anything in my coffee except for cappuccino). So I made a decaf breve cappuccino instead.
Had planned to have my weekly cheat meal at Regalia, but Bob called and said he couldn't make it because he got three new consults (he's sensing how expensive our end of the wedding will be and also wants to take a long weekend in DC to see my sis in late May, so he's taking every new patient who comes down the pike). He said to go out and treat myself, but no way was I walking alone even 3 blocks in a raging icy downpour (nowhere to park there). So no wines for me.
But tonight I will do bubbly (assuming what's open in the fridge hasn't gone flat) to celebrate no side effects from yesterday's booster-to-the-booster; and finding out I'd gained only 5 lbs. since Sept. (and, fully clothed, am 2 lbs. down from my "despair" weight, buck naked 2 weeks ago). If the bubbly is flat, I will make that Aperol spritz (or maybe figure something out with St. Germain or a spicy Skinnygirl Margarita), predicted wet snowfall notwithstanding. (And tentatively being able to post here again before the Mods put the "under construction" scaffolding back up).
-
Just lost my post, so I'll just say hi!!!
-
Finally able to get back in and catch up on posts.
Goldie - I remember MemaSue's posts. Thanks for letting us know. She seemed like she would be a fun person to meet up with. Hope you are recovering from your fall. Echoing other posts about adorable Nora. She must bring you and your family a lot of joy.
NM - Double your pleasure, double your fun, you got yourself two dogs instead of just one!
ChiSandy - Safe travels to NOLA. Sounds like your son's wedding will be a wonderful time.
Had a lovely St Paddy's Day celebration. A beautiful 72 degree day. I have a good friend who is recuperating at her daughter's after a hospital stay & was invited for dinner/drinks. Guinness Draft (bottled) was the DOTD.
Reminiscing about the last really great Irish Coffees I had. It was at The Buena Vista Café in San Francisco, credited with introducing Irish coffee to the United States. What a great atmosphere and experience!
A big hello to all and hope to be able to jump back in again soon!
-
Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! Yesterday was pretty exciting, there was a huge fire at a potato processing plant in the town where my school is. The immediate area, including the high school and school bus garage, was evacuated, with a nursing home's residents evacuated to the Middle School, so school was initially delayed and then canceled. There was a lot of concern about ammonia tanks that were close to the fire. At one point the thought was at least one of them would blow, but the fire departments were able to prevent that from happening.
So I wound up turning around and coming back home again. Which was a good thing, because Colt is limping around and I'm trying to figure out if he's hurt himself wrestling with Zoe or if something more is going on. He laid pretty low yesterday, but was moving around more as the day went on. He's still eating and drinking, doesn't look like he's in pain except when he is limping around, and still playing with things, so I'm hoping that whatever just needs a day or two of rest.
I am really glad to see the forums back online, even if they are still glitchy.I really missed this part of my morning routine!
Chi--I hope all your dresses show up in time to give you a nice variety of choices for the wedding.And I hope your neck feels better--that has got to be awfully uncomfortable.
Goldie--praying the letters bring about some movement from the infusion company. I bet Nora would love a riding toy for outside. And what a beautiful DOTD!
Teka--I'm expecting mud season to be twice the fun this year!
Chi--I'm glad your booster to the booster didn't give you any side effects.
Good Morning, Karen!
Celia--MemaSue was a lot of fun to be with on the cruise a few years back. Sounds like your St Paddy's day celebration was great.
Welcome Back Cocktail
3 slices English Cucumber
1 small piece of green chile (I used a small piece of Serrano pepper, about an inch long)
1 sprig fresh cilantro
1 1/2 ounce gin (I used Hendricks)
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup (I had already prepared cucumber simple syrup on hand, so I used that)
First, fill your cocktail glass with ice. Then muddle 2 slices of the cucumber, the cilantro sprig and the chile pepper in a cocktail shaker. Pour the ice from the glass into the cocktail shaker, then add the gin, lime juice and simple syrup. Shake, shake, shake! Strain and pour into the cocktail glass. Cheers!

Teka, too funny that cartoon you posted fir NM. And happy you can lurk and post, yes yippee!
Sandy, I think the "construction" is far from complete! Lots of angry gals around here.
Karen, sorry about the Gremlins. I don't think I recal you losing a post ever. I always type in notepad or word first, then copy/paste.
Celia thank you. Nora is just a happy baby, and yes brings a ton of joy.
NM, I'm glad those tanks didn't blow, especially when it was said "not if, but when". Hopefully there were no incidences?
I have heard nothing from Amerita. They should have received my letters M and T. I included my email and phone. I got nothin! So, I ain't payin nothin!
Due this BIG mess here on BCO, I'm going to add another DOTD:
A BIG Bloody Mary! It's actually featured at a restaurant in Phoenix.
-
I thought about getting Nora a riding toy, or something with water, but decided on this. She'll get many years use out of it.
-
Hi friends- just a quick note before to say hello. March has been filled with the good, the bad and the ugly but so it goes sometimes in this world of ours.
It's been nice here for the most part but we had a surprise snow storm over night Tuesday that dropped four inches of snow here in the valley. It was gone by noon, lol. We had two full days of moisture this week which is really good for us. The fruit trees are coming out slowly, and not sure how much the snow ruined the blooms but know many here say the late snows ruin the chance for fruit. Yesterday it was back up to 70 and going to be up to 80 tomorrow. That is warm for March, and of course, we have the spring to winter to spring whiplash over here right now too!
Ended up with a major car repair this month that took a lot of time and money. Just got the car back on Monday. In the perfect world, I would have probably traded it in for what I could get for it and buy new (its 12 years old, but new cars have to be ordered and take months to get and don't want a pre-owned car. I bought this car new, and know it's history at least. Anyways, moving past that now and had good luck with this vehicle with very little repair work needed. A reminder the car is older and that things are changing. The car is running well, but I ended up postponing a long weekend trip to the hot springs down south planned for this weekend until I have had more time with the car to feel comfortable before I go out of town. I probably will have another 100K I can get out of this car and will run it into the ground or it will run me into the ground, lets see who wins!
ChiSandy- I hope the tornado in NOLA has not changed anything for the wedding plans. That poor city just gets hit over and over, Katrina, Covid, now a tornado. Wishing you a great time!
Goldie- I hope your trip to see the family and meet little NOLA goes well. A break from all you have been through in AZ and connection with family will be a very good thing. Also wishing you a good time!
NM- sorry to hear about that terrible fire in Belfast. I have friends and also some cousins that live there. I hope no one was hurt, but do expect that a lot of people now no longer have a job. I saw your note on FB that it was a total loss. Hope the new pups continue to make you happy!
Teka, Ill, Mistyeyes, Karen, Chevy, and everyone else, hope you are doing well as this month wraps up.
I have a super busy April coming up so I probably won't be here as much. Family in town next weekend, some mini trips out of town on a couple weekends, work deadlines, and more. Wishing everyone a good wrap up to March and will be back again when I can.
Stay well friends!

Jazzy,

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday! The sun is out, the snow is mostly melted off, mud season is moving into full swing. Having the sunlight later into the evening is very nice, but getting out of bed in the dark is still a struggle. Still, I look forward to a time when I don't have to adjust to time changes. Getting up in the dark is going to happen no matter what time zone or type of time is going on.
Big Boy Colt is limping around on a couple of sprains, and manages to look very, very pathetic while he's at it. But he's able to get up and down off the bed and the ottoman, and doesn't limp anywhere near as much when he doesn't know I'm looking, or when he's coming for his din-din or a treat or to beat Zoe to the recliner, so I'm sure he'll be just fine. Zoe has decided she's a lap dog, and I'm learning to play on the tablet and watch tv around her presence. They are both finding the toys and starting to play with them, too. It is so nice to hear a woof and the pitter-patter of paws when I get home!
Goldie--this morning's log in notice from the Mods acknowledges the problems with the discussion boards and mentions it's being worked on, so at least they are aware of the effect the changes are having. Hopefully it won't take long to sort things out.We are very lucky, or blessed, that the ammonia tanks didn't blow in the fire. The news team that was out there very early in the ayem was told to move back because at least one tank was expected to blow due to being so close to the flames and the heat. Apparently, more manpower and equipment arrived from other towns very shortly after that and the tanks could be adequately protected. So far the environmental monitoring reports have found no noxious fumes beyond the smoke generated by a structure fire. No hospital treatments related to the fire have been reported. The town has been very lucky, or blessed with a very good fire department, no nearby damages other than soot on the outside walls, and this plant sits on the waterfront, in the middle of a residential area. It's a very old plant, the residential area grew up around it as the town grew. But 138 people are now out of a job unexpectedly. A lot of assistance is being mobilized locally and at the state level. Holy cow, that Bloody Mary is not just a BIG drink, it's a big meal, too! That little picnic table is ADORABLE!!!!
Jazzy--love the spring to winter to spring whiplash description! So accurate. Sorry about the major car repair bill. Sometimes it's worth it to keep a car running as long as possible, in the long run I think less is spent that way. It will be interesting to see who gives out first, you or the car! No one seriously hurt, a few on-scene minor injuries among firefighters but nothing requiring a trip to the Emergency room, for which everyone is very grateful. All of the working staff got out safely at the time. It was a very old building and it's a bit of a shame to have lost it, but buildings are replaceable. 138 people losing a job in a town as small as Belfast is going to have a huge impact. The pups are continuing to break me in and get me trained, and I am loving it. Have a great time on your trips and with your family, travel save, and drop in when you can!
It must be Jazzy's birthday!Happy Birthday, Jazzy!
