'You get some gin and get some white raisins — and only white raisins — and soak them in the gin for two weeks. Then eat nine of the raisins a day'...

[mc5cents]

I don't know about gin soaked raisins but I can testify that cherries soaked in 151 rum will cure what ails ya!!

[Mamzelle]

LOL--I know people who swear by this!!

It would make the 4 years bearable.

Agreed. But let's never find out.

Hopefully, she'll agree to an Osbornes-style reality show after the divorce.

[i.l.e.]

Not to mention the knock down dragout king daddy of all cage matches between her and Hillary as Hillary prepares for the 2008 primary. It would make the 4 years bearable.

you are so right.

Raisins in the mornin',
Raisins in the evenin',
Raisins at suppertime.

Be my little raisin,
And love me all the time.

Are you sure your Granny doesn't live in Oklahoma. The locals drive all the way to the big cities to buy their liquor.

People in Oklahoma don't like Kerry and the current makeup of the Democratic party leadership.

In Kerry's case he is looked upon as nothing more than a waffling, tell you any thing, obnoxious, pompous Eastern elitist. sKerry is the poster child for campaign negativity.

There I said it and now it's out of my system for a few moments.

ROFL--couldn't get my breath...where DID this picture come from?

There needs to be an alert on this thread...

For Lizzie Edwards, since her hubby's only been a Senator for 6 years and wouldn't be re-elected even if he were the only one on the ballot, she can be excused for not being more circumspect in front of the media. But Mama T, OTOH, has been around politix for many, many years and should definitely know better. But since she eat's way too many raisins in her fruit salad, her mouth is not in sync with her raisin brain......

[itsamelman]

This woman is doing more than 9 gin-soaked raisins a day........


This woman IS a gin soaked raisin...

Harlem Gin Blues

My man likes his whiskey, and I like my Harlem gin.
My man likes his whiskey, and I like my Harlem gin.
He likes his outside women, and I like my outside men.

Don't the moon look pretty shining down through the trees?
Don't the moon look pretty shining down through the trees?
But don't your home look lonesome when your man packs his clothes and leaves?

My man is a jockey, he taught me how to ride.
My man is a jockey, he taught me how to ride.
He says it's easy in the middle, but it's better on the side.

Won't you tell me, daddy, what is on your mind?
Won't you tell me, daddy, what is on your mind?
But if you want your mama to love you, you must treat her nice and kind.

They tell me blues and trouble run hand in hand.
They tell me blues and trouble run hand in hand.
But you ain't seen no trouble til you've messed with a double-woman man.

Don't forget the oak stake and silver bullets.

Not sure, bud. I normally use it when the post is so confusing as to be ridiculous. This is just plain old wierd.

"Gin and white raisins...gin and white raisins... gin and white raisins..."

Oh that explains how she looked at all the debates.....

Wimp :-) 190-proof is what you need.

My mother does this and she swears by it. It was funny when she first started. Not wanting to be seen anywhere NEAR a liquor store, she would send me to go get it for her.

Reminds me of a Depression-era joke that is told not once but twice in the movie Bonnie & Clyde, which, IMHO, is an all-time great.

Old granny is feeling poorly, and her son takes her to the doctor. He examines her and instructs the son to make sure she drinks a shot of whiskey every day.

"But Doc, we're Baptists, she'll never touch it!"

"Well, slip it into her her milk."

So the first day granny takes a little sip, and then next day she drinks a little more, and the next day a little more, and the following day drains the glass in one swig. She calls her son over:

"Son, whatever you do, don't sell that cow!"

Well...anything that involves booze is ok in my book. When her hubby loses on November 2 I'll be sure to have a drink to her arthritis feeling better.

I've heard of this folk remedy before too.

"...I've never heard of a white raisin martini before, though..."

Haven't you ever heard anyone order "Martini; wrinkled" before?
