Just a little before your time Resty but I am sure Gran remembers it.

ROFLOL

Guess you are correct ..... I haven’t seen since you made that post.

[Lady Jag]

Sweet drinks do that to me, too. Never a good outcome.

Sex on the Beach has vodka, some aperitif, and a couple juices, citrus I think.

[JustAmy]

I’ve never tried Sex on the Beach. ;^ )

Good, Huh?

[La Enchiladita]

Hope you are having a Terrific Tuesday, Dita.

You bet it is terrific. Received this via e-mail...

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help.
So, have a nice day.
I love you.

P.S. And, remember...

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle,
do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it.
Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair.
There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day.

God

Snow in Pullman, Washington today, Dita? WOW

The West is having weird weather.

Thanks for the link.

[Cardhu]

I know you are talking about more exotic drinks but the same principle applies:

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, Kitty Mittens.

Glad to hear that you and Doggy had a nice walk.
I need to start walking again.
Next week Marissa will be out of school;
I think she and I will start walking every morning.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Teach’em early.

[Lady Jag]

Excellent. When you order it ask if they make it good there and they probably will.

[Lady Jag]

If you drink too many they do. Vodka is a blessing, though.

I don’t drink to get drunk anymore, if I did it’d be straight.

[Lady Jag]

Done there, been that. LOL every time I see it again.

Funny how it's hilarious when I'm sober and pisses me off when drunk.

Yeah, I've had to hold onto the wall-to-wall carpet to keep from falling off the floor.

[seoul62]

Vodka, very bad - but I did try Absinthe - made me loopy./Just Asking - seoul62......

Sex on the Beach is delicious. Have you had sex anywhere else? Check my post above.

[Lady Jag]

Vodka is good, Absinthe is good.

If you have your own still, you can have all the vodka you want.

[JustAmy]

I did that with sloe gin fizzes on my 21st birthday many, many years ago. LOL

[JustAmy]

Nope .... I’ve had none of those sexy drnks. If I tried more than one or two, I’d be on that floor hanging onto the carpet. LOL

[seoul62]

Oh dear, that is quite a combination. A while back, I once did too many Johnnie Walker Black, straight up shots, met up with my boyfriend now my husband and his friend, went to a Korean Restaurant, proceeded to fall asleep at the table and mid-meal throw up on the table. They got the attention of a kind waiter who cleaned the mess up and they threw a huge scarf on me for the rest of the meal. He still to this day mentions this incident to me./Just Asking - seoul62......
