how about drinking?

Happy Belated Bday to Lynne and Marsha!

(Marsha- now I really have to get those cookies down to you. I looked for them last night, but they only had the Coconut Stars and Double Choc, I know you are the Oatmeal girl, so I'll go to the source)

Sam - what sx are you scheduled for and when? I hope you'll be ready to go by April.

Just a quick drop by. I am at work. I am having some terrible computer problems at home. I can't even get it to stay on! I need some major tech help. So if I am not around for while, it's not because I am drinking somewhere (lol)

Hugs-

Yeah!! That was a well deserved drink! One should not have to work that hard for it. My folks headed back home so I'm picking up the alcohol to make the chocolate covered cherry martini tonight! I work until 10 then I'm headed home for a soak in the whirlpool tub and a  drink! I can't wait. It's supposed to snow here so it will be a great night for it.

Christine - Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Cheers!

Lynne

Just popping in for a quick hello to all you funtastic ladies .. and Lynne, thank you for the birthday wishes for Karl, that was very nice!  Junie, sorry you had a horrible trip but how awesome to meet Donna!  No time to catch up today, I'm so far behind!   Oh Traci, you were determined to get that drink out!  lol

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  Cheers to ALL!

Wow, I just got into the beading scene,,,

I look at the catalogs and just want to order it all,

what items have you made??

Necklaces and errings here

Hola Chicas!

I'm just hanging out at the crash pad with some lovely ladies  and drinking a decent Australian Shiraz/Cab.

Flying is going well, but I'm on a long stretch here and I'm missing Avery terribly! The rest of the month should be better thankfully.

Good luck with the Tamox, Harley. I went off of it because of the SE's and don't regret it at all.

Cheers!

Beer bread!   I used to make that a lot--it makes great toast!   Will keep in mind to use with spinach dip--sounds yummy!   Sam, looking forward to seeing you in April!

The trip--just one hassle that we do once a year to go see some of Bob's family.  It's a 3-hr drive to airport.  Have to change planes.  Then, rent a car and drive another 3 hours to get there.   Takes all day to get there, then to get back.  Stay in crummy motel, eat in even crummier restaurants!  Hope to not step on any toes, but Carlsbad, New Mexico, is the armpit of the U.S.  !!  Bob dreads the trip as much as I do!

I don't know anything about beading but you might check www.orientaltrading.com for beads.    They have lots of neat crafting supplies and I've ordered lots of different things from them.   We're both retired, too, and it is hard to live on a reduced income when there's so much I want to do and everything costs so much!

Gonna have one more ML and drink a toast to my drinking buds!!!

hugggsssss to all!!!  junie

Good Morning All!

Finally....I had the Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini, it was very good. Soaked in the tub and had a very relaxing night on Friday.

Sam - The beer bread and spinach dip sounds good. Hope your party went well. I'm sure it was entertaining to see the reception!

Junie - Ugh..sounds like such a hassle to go visit! I think that it is Tunica. Is it a nice place? Fun?

Traci?? That must have been some Margarita. I don't think we've heard from you since you got it out!! LOL

Have a great day everyone,

Lynne

LOL  I just posted that same quote you did Traci on another website yesterday ... only it was attributed to Dean Martin!  Whoever said it, it's hilarious!!!

Cheers ALL!!!

Where are all my drinkin' buds???

I have 5 glorious days off before I have to head out again, and then only for two days. I sure am lovin' the flyin' life again!

Same old Cab tonight with some aged goat milk cheese - yum!

I've actually been drinking less (and less often) since leaving W.F. I think I'm less stressed. Actually, I know I'm less stressed!

Cheers!

A combo that I like is sliced Havarti Cheese and sliced pears, with a nice Merlot to sip.   Making me drool to think about!

Janis--glad the new job is working out.   Your job at WF must have been really stressful, because I think your current job would have a lot of stress!  Putting up with a plane load of cranky, tired, irritable people!   I realize that most travelers are nice, but there is always some obnoxious a-hole on any flight I've ever been on--and lucky me--they usually sit by me!!!

Bottoms up!!!

junie

Janis--LOL!!  no--no--you WANT me on your flights.  I'm totally laid back.   Don't get mad easily--well, I do, but know to keep my mouth shut.   Breath deep and think calming thoughts.   Like just last week, nursing a Bloody Mary and plane going into land mode--Flt Attndt came by and said, take your time, I'll come back and get your glass just before we land.....took a couple more sips and here comes another Attndt who literally snatched my half-ful glass out of my hand and dumped it in her bag--before i could utter a word!   grrrrr!!

I've had some interesting flights:  meal had just been served and we're told of major turbulence--set your trays on the floor, put your trays in the upright position; man, was THAT one scary!   Overheads were popping open and shit flying everywhere!!   Another time, I'd just got a beer when turbulence hit--next thing i knew here came a flt attndt CRAWLING down the aisle with a trash bag to collect loose objects and there went my unopened beer!   The worst flight was a very calm, some mild turbulence, but there was a teenage boy in the seat behind me who was terrified of flying and the first bump and roll sent him into a panic.   The plane landed with an immediate announcement--ladies and gentlemen, we have a medical emergency on board, please stay seated......damn--it was the kid in the seat behind me.   We're all sitting there and the flt attndt rushes up to him--he's standing up and hanging onto the back of my seat, leaning forward--and she asks him if he's going to throw up!   OMG--if that kid had puked on my head and down my back!!   And then, there was an Indian couple across the aisle and she DID throw up which caused me to find a barf bag quickly; and there was a lady 3 rows up who suffered a heart attack while we were landing...and, and, and--

you really want me on your flight!   I just drink and don't cause problems!!   Except--if you're ever on a flight and there's a long line for the bathroom and someone gets into line with a barf bag and opens it and starts gagging--and everyone in line lets her go first--that be ME!!   Helpful hint to anyone who waits too long to get up and go pee!!!!

I love to travel; hate to fly!   You have my utmost admiration!!!

chug-a-lug and bottoms up to all!!!

junie

Thank you. I found the right thread. Hugs.................

: - ) Traci

oh boy

Traci, we're here to help. Knowing you have a problem is the first step.....

Um, it's easy to delete your pic (I did). Just go to your home page and it's in there somewhere..... (sorry to be so non-technical!).

Junie, I do not want you on my flights if you are constantly surrounded by sick/barfing/problematic passengers..... (we/I don't allow them on Delta)  (j/k)

As for the drink snatching, I've done that, too, but I've also let people keep their drinks if they just got them and the flight was a short one but if they were nursing it then they deserve to have it taken away. Who nurses drinks on a flight???

I go out again Sunday then come back Monday (easy peasy). I love this job! I even got my first paycheck already! Been hanging out with the baby girl all week watching her be a toddler and she so cracks me up!

Well, time to go shopping - cheers!

Hooray for you for adopting a shelter dog!   I hope Stella will be a good addition to your household.  Sounds like she's made herself right at home!  We have a lab/german wire-hair pointer mix that will be 6 yrs old.   He is finally out of the puppy stage and is such a gentleman now!   But for the first year or so, he thought his name was G*D DAMMIT!!!    Have fun!
