No Wine-Buzz thread tonight. I'm heading into the weekend sober.

[Aristus]

No, no. I'm all right. Everything is fine. Don't worry. Everything is fine.

Just cutting back a little, that's all.

Good evening, Loungers! I love you all...

[Glamrock]

1. Were we together in the womb?

I'm doing the same thing....maybe. It's still early.

[Aristus]

2. You're asking me if we were womb-mates?

I dunno. It was kinda dark in there...

[Glamrock]

4. Bwaaahaha

Only explanation for neither us of us drinking....
What're the odds?

[Docreed2003]

7. That's some bullshit...

I'm halfway into a 750cc bottle of Jack and you're telling me you're sober!!?? Nah. Fuck that, lol

[Glamrock]

12. Sorry Doc!

But, I'm on the midnight shift. I may get bored over the next few hours....


And halfway through? Be careful bradda!

[Docreed2003]

15. Lmao...I get it

Hope you are well my friend!

3. I'll step up to the liquor glass then.

And as a follow up as to whether ginger ale and vodka can be mixed, I found this interesting information and the drink known as a Copperhead:



The Copperheads, or Peace Democrats, were a group of Democrats located in the Northern United States of the Union who opposed the policies of President Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. Copperheads’ opposition to Lincoln was over his executive powers and reported violations of the constitution, including their view that a war against slavery was unconstitutional. After Lincoln’s reelection and the fall of Atlanta in 1864, Copperheadism dissolved.

Ingredients:

2 ounces vodka
5 ounces ginger ale
Lime wedge

Directions:

In an ice-filled highball glass, combine the vodka and ginger-ale.
Squeeze the lime wedge over the drink, drop it in, and serve.

5. Tempting!

You're a bad influence Tex!

[TexasTowelie]

6. But I'm a "good" bad influence

or so I've been told. I always tried to excel in both work and play.

[Glamrock]

9. True that brother!

True that.


P. S. I'm guessing the hand is back to normal, yeah?

[TexasTowelie]

16. The hand is fine.

However, the cat bit me on the back of my right leg and I had a baseball size knot on my shin. The doctor actually put me in the hospital for one night. They ran an ultrasound, but I didn't require surgery. The bacteria cultures showed that I had both pastuerella and staph infections. Things were pretty nasty with a lot of drainage and I was in pain for about three weeks. I've recovered, but the antibiotics lead to some extra time in the bathroom and laundry room.

By the way, the two outdoor cats have disappeared. The one that got the bites on me was a three-year old tabby and the other was a one-year old long hair tabby. The indoor ranks have narrowed down to the 3 year old male Siamese and a one year old female. Both of those are primarily house cats and barring some bizarre accident I should be safe with them.

18. Jesus man!

What're you bathing in catnip? As much as I hate to say it, let's hope that one don't come back! Need to take care of yourself bradda. I rely on you to help keep me informed!

[applegrove]

8. What i would give to be able to drink and drink responsibly again. It will

never happen for me. I abused it and it is gone from my life forever. So drink responsibly for me, including nothing this weekend.

[Docreed2003]

10. Wait, so you were day drinking on your day off and now you're not drinking??

I'm so confused..

[Aristus]

11. I did some day-drinking every day this week.

Really had to dial it back a bit today...

[Docreed2003]

13. Ok then, you're forgiven, lol

[Glamrock]

14. Hahahaha

Brother Aristus, please review reply #1 again. Great minds drink alike!

[Aristus]

17. I drink and I know things...

[Glamrock]

19. Here's what I knows...

[Aristus]

20. Amen...

[flotsam]

21. Don't do it!!!

I tried that once and it was the worst twelve and a half minutes of my life!
