Warning: Cavit Pinot Grigio. You don't want to drink this shit.

[crim son]

I just ran out and bought the only non-chardonnay at the local corner store. I was surprised at the price, but then I tasted it. It's a good thing this is an excellent night or I'd be bitching about my miseries and the cruelty of Fate again. :rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Too bad. Usually pinot grigio is pretty good.

[crim son]

3. Agreed. I like it best after sauvignon blanc.

Even so, I would have done better with the cheapest merlot.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. If you like sauvignon blanc, try Nobilo.

It's from New Zealand and has a slightly grapefruity taste. It's my favorite.

[crim son]

13. Next time I'm out I'll look for it.

I've tried a couple wines from NZ and they vary in quality but so do wines from CA and France. I've had some good ones. Thanks for the tip!

2. I hope it doesn't turn you into

a zombie. :rofl:

[crim son]

5. Laughing.

I showed my comment to your son because you were so nice. To eat my daughter's flesh, a lot more than a bottle of wine would be required, though to eat the flesh of... naw. I won't go there. :rofl: :hi:

[bigwillq]

7. I wasn't nice.

I was honest. :) :hi: I really liked it. I like home vids; goofy, kids stuff. Fun times. Kids being kids.

[crim son]

9. Thanks. That's the only reason I loved & posted it.

They are all so young and straddling childhood and adulthood - mainly chidhood despite copious facial hair. I do appreciate your comments, bigwillq. :pals: :hi:

[bigwillq]

11. I really hope they make more vids.

I would so watch! :)

[crim son]

15. I'll make certain I post a link.

You are too, too dear! I know they'll do more, because my son's friend who does the filming/editing plans to do it as a career. He started in sixth grade and is now finishing tenth. He's a smart kid and I expect him to do well.

[bigwillq]

16. Having fun, AND planning for the future!

How great is that?! :) :hi:

[crim son]

18. It's great; it's a miracle!

I often think how my kids are strong and positive, when I never was. A bizarre and unlooked-for blessing, bigwillq. :loveya:

[bigwillq]

20. You must have done something right!

:) :hug:

[crim son]

23. And you

are lately dear to my heart. Thank you truly for being so dear. :hug:

[bigwillq]

25. What, I wasn't dear to your heart before?

:shrug: :P ;) :)

[crim son]

28. Strangely, you were.

You have been willing to befriend me here, there and the next place, and have always been sweet. Maybe this is my first opportunity to tell you, so I tell you. Thanks for being a good person, bigwillq. Really! :loveya: :hug: :pals:

[bigwillq]

Now you're being too sweet.

Thanks!:) :hi: :hug:

[crim son]

34. I'm being perversely honest as always.

You gotta know that. :D

[fizzgig]

4. thanks for the heads up

;)

how've you been? :hug:

[crim son]

8. Hi, Loveliest DUer.

I've been very well... recovering quickly from being dumped by the republican and still looking for meaningful employment. In Maine, spring is just starting. How have you been? What's up? :hug: :loveya:

Nice to see you.

[fizzgig]

12. there's only one piece of news

and that's my pending nuptials :D i'm getting married in september :bounce:

other than that, not a whole helluva lot going on out here. still no job, waiting for the new unemployment claim to come through. all that good shit, yanno.

it's good to see you lovely :loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

10. You poor thing

drinking inferior tasting wine! I'm sending you vibes...

Only thing worse would be to have no wine at all. Wait, I don't have any wine. :cry:

[crim son]

17. Either did I earlier, which is why I drove to the corner store.

It's the first time in my personal history I've ever craved wine so much that I've gone anywhere to get it. Next time I'll know better.

Hi BNL. Please let me know some time how you are. I think of you often and miss the time when we were better friends.

[BarenakedLady]

29. Awww sweetie

Thanks. I'm doing ok. The next couple weeks are big. The separation papers will be ready to sign and file, I'm getting my half of the proposed future sale of the house, and they may break ground on my new house. I got a new job to keep me busy, sane, and some pocket money.

I'll always be your friend. :hug:

[crim son]

35. Thank you for your friendship.

And, it sounds like you are doing things right. As you know I moved into my own house after eighteen years of marriage, on Jan. 1st. I purchased the place on Feb. 2nd. Every day since then I have grown more and more attached to it, and happier and happier. I pray you have the same experience; I think you will. It's not the house so much as it's YOUR house.

[BarenakedLady]

38. I am looking forward to that.

Having my OWN place. Mine, mine, mine. I'm downgrading bigtime, but I'll survive.

What is your agreement with your ex about custody of the kids? How are you dealing with it? You can pm me if you prefer.

[Fenris]

14. Cavit is too disgusting to even cook with.

[crim son]

21. Well, you could have informed me before I bought this shit!

Laughing. Next time, give me a heads up! :P

[GOPisEvil]

19. Cavit - Damn Near Vinegar

Not the catchiest slogan ever, but apparently it fits.

[crim son]

24. I've been drinking Barefoot sauvignon blanc for the last year.

It's also nasty but infinitely better than the Cavit. I'm working my way down due to circumstances, GOPisevil. At one time, I didn't shop at the dollar store either. :) :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

27. Life's too short for nasty alcohol.

I'd rather be sober. ;)

:hi:

[crim son]

31. I was once like you.

High standards and all that. If and when I find myself employed I will be again; in the meantime I am at least privileged to know the difference between honey and shit.

Why make me feel bad, GOPisEvil? That's just CRUEL! :P

[GOPisEvil]

33. Hey, everyone's got to do their own thing.

If you need a little fruit of the grape, who am I to stand in your way? Bottoms up! :beer:

And none of this "if" crap. It's "when".

[crim son]

36. I mean "when".

For all my misery and complaints, I have always ultimately achieved what I wanted. So, this time it's a bit of a struggle and it requires the aid of deeply crappy wine. I will CONQUER!

[GOPisEvil]

37. That's more like it!

Thusly fortified with crappy wine you are off to conquer all! :thumbsup:

[Lethe]

22. greetings from cheap champagne land

cheap champagne, cheap pizza....what could go wrong?

[crim son]

26. Carbonation, that's what.

I love champagne but a health condition prevents me from enjoying more than a small glass or two of anything bubbly. Having said that, I will risk my life a couple weeks from now when my divorce comes through. I hope you are around, because I'm guessing I'll be "celebrating" with DUers. :hi:

[Lethe]

30. we'll have to break out the scotch and good glasses

or whatever you prefer

:D

[crim son]

32. Ooooh, the scotch sounds good.

And I'm drinking this crap from my best glasses, hand blown and etched from Italy; a wedding present for the marriage that is about to end. I was hoping it would make it taste better. When I have the good scotch, I'll let you know.
