Friday night wine/Not Your Father's Root Beer buzz. Not buzzed enough to solicit risque comments.

[Aristus]

But go ahead if the spirit moves you...

1. Ah, my dear Aristus...

I can't be here long since we're about to watch the news (PBS Newshour) and I'm really not in the mood for risque comments!

I spent part of today arguing politics over on Facebook.

It ruined part of my day!

I hope your day went a whole lot better!

[Aristus]

2. That's the thing: I don't argue with those fuckwits anymore. They don't want to spark substantive

debate. They want to ruin your day. Good for you they only ruined part of it.

I just *hide* anything I think is going to piss me off.

Even from people I like. There's a classmate of mine from PA School. Really hot. When she posts her cleavage selfies, fine.
When she posts her right-wing gun memes, *hide*

That's called picking one's battles...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. You're right; I should never have gotten involved.

It's someone I know from here, who no longer posts here.

I just hate seeing statements that I know are wrong being promulgated over there.

*sigh*

Thanks for being here......you're a sweetheart.

5. Hurry...

The buzz is fading...

8. Later. Much later!

We have a memorial service to attend today.

Not a day has passed without tears in the past two weeks since we learned of Peter's death. He was the last of my husband's old rat pack from college. I never worried about Mr. I_T_W when he took vacations with Pete in Colorado or in recent years trips to Vermont. Pete's family had a quaint little place up there.

Rest in peace Peter Lyons Bristol

11. How is that stuff? I saw it in the supermarket

now they have some kind of alcoholic cherry soda by the same brand.

[Aristus]

12. It's pretty good.

As advertised, it's just a sweet root beer with a hint of an alcohol tang. Not something I'll try regularly, but it offers some variety.

13. I like this root beer but it may be because of the dog

[Aristus]

14. Got some more red wine, and I'm a little buzzed again...
