I don't know if I've ever had one, and if I did I wouldn't remember what it tasted like.

The last time I handled any gin was 17 years ago when I poured a brand new bottle of Tangueray down the kitchen sink in front of my very hungover ex-husband, while holding an icepack to the bruise on my face where the SOB had belted me in his gin enduced drunk the night before.

Wasn't Tanqueray the name of the sleazy girl in Beavis & Butthead?

Well Box of Rocks is up in 2004....

McClintock v. Boxer would be compelling. I doubt he'd ever beat ChiFieinstein but Boxer, he just might.

I can hardly handle a mixed drink, although I could in my younger days. These days, it's just beer and wine for me.

[secret garden]

It could happen! Wouldn't that be rich?

[Gabz]

I wouldn't know....................

My grandpappy told my pappy back in my day son..............

[hobbes1]

Wouldn't that be magnificent....

A well spoken well known, Black Conservative in the Senate.


He Could start the Black Senatorial Caucus.

An Army of One.


"Why Senator Watts, what are you doing...?"
"Just Caucusing with myself..."

[NeoCaveman]

An Army of One.

If Herman Cain from Georgia wins, it would be an army of 2...
And it would be 2 more black Senators than the Democrats have. The Democrats would be in full panick mode.

[Texan5]

I will definately pray for sanity to prevail at the Dallas meeting. There has got to be an end to this revisionist, pc brand of "christianity", even if it means schism-it is not following God's teachings. I'd feel the same if the Pope suddenly decided to welcome openly gay priests and lesbian nuns to the church.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It was beautiful, we is tanned.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Hi there..... yes, dirty martinis have more flavor than regular.......they are very good

[Texan5]

Sounds like your ex was just as much of a sweetheart as mine was. I ended up pointing a loaded pistol at mine after he hit me (again) after an argument about his mistress, and ordering him out of the house for good.

[secret garden]

It's been said that the ECUSA will embrace any heresy to avoid schism. They need to recant those decisions or prepare for the break. It is time. Thank you for your prayers.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Uh, I believe that should have said, anytime......lol

Liberal California is contiguous with other states, thank God not mine. They will hopefully fix that problem beginning today by becoming less liberal.

I predict that the changes starting in California will sweep other states into more conservative government.

[Texan5]

"A man had to answer for the wicked that he done"...

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

The good thing is that both of you found the strength to leave those assholes......and I feel quite certain that if another man ever hit either of you, you'd just bury the body and not worry about him ever again.......
