i know, but skrim didn't and i like the way dan strung him along!!

Actually, Skrim is a 'her'.

And thanks for bringing the question up again anyway, because I was wondering myself. Ya know...I miss a lot, not reading all 837 pages.

Not all wine is sweet Permagrin. Nothing better than a nice Beaujolais. Mmmmmmm

It's true...I've had some nice dry whites before...but since I'm not a drinker (though it probably sounds like it from this thread) if I am going to have something, I'd prefer it to be something I really do like....and I like an edge to my drinks (no folgers for this girl it's 100 proof French Roast!)

you know, i didn't think i would ever date again, but it sure has been a lot of fun actually!

I didn't think I'd date either but finally did. Can't say it's been fun as a whole, but it sure has been...interesting.

the majority of wines aren't sweet... I love a good zinfadel or chardonay.. or a pinot noir..

there's no reason to lock the thread.. admittedly i've stopped trying to catch up on what i've missed but just jump back in after absences.. but, I don't think it's gotten too crazy yet..

by the way my aunt made her meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and homemade rolls for dinner.. plus this thing we like to call 'Sex in a Pan'... although Kaed's mommy has requested we change the name.. she doesn't want her two-year-old saying it..

Oh, no! Don't do that. I like to think of this thread as the POTN version of "The Neverending Story."

Just kidding about locking the thread, guys. Easy.

No one has mentioned one of my favorite drinks.... a Bloody Mary.
V-8, vodka, a shot of tobasco, a shake of Worcestershire sauce and celery. Yummmmmmm. Think I'll go make myself one for a nightcap.

Oh my gosh, another beer please.

But you MUST read it all. As I said in an earlier post, no Cliff Notes allowed. And I'm the teacher!

Is this part of your Miller Lite diet?

Ribena seems fairly popular elsewhere.

Thanks! I thought I'd have to break out the 5D again.

Remember I only had those sandwich wraps for dinner I'm going to go find a snack...

My grandfather was a biochemist and he said that lager was processed longer/had less impurities than ale...mold spores and the like....and that many people are actually allergic to it, who can safely drink lager...weird huh?

and I forgot to mention that aside from a good scotch, I'd also like to try cognac someday...

That's why I don't eat sandwich wraps

Interesting background to ale and lager... maybe different yeasts too? (just guessin')

Cognac - Martell VSOP, again Coke, or rocks. You can tell I have expensive taste in both kinds of glass. Why is it the liquor merchants and the camera dealers love to see me?

hmmm...that actually sounds good...now I'm hungry and thirsty...I must leave before we get into other vices...

If you want to try Scotch...try premium single malts...Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glen Morangie or Aberlour.

For bourbons Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Old Grandad

Vodka calls for Chopin or Absolut...whatever you do...never ever drink cheap vodka...nothing will give you a worse headache

bloody marys.. salted rim or no?.. I do it the classic way.. tomato juice, bitters, tabasco, worcestershire, pepper, olive juice and vodka.. and the cocktail onion, lime, olives and either asparagus or celery.. depending on the day..

I tried, honest! I kept up with the first 100 or so pages, then I had to stop to eat, and feed my dogs, and when I got back you people had spiraled out of control.
I was here for the early Christenings, including Lonnies bold pinkness.
I missed a bit of the middle, and I'm trying desperately to catch up to the end here, but it is not happening very easily.
You all gab faster than I can read, LOL. (And I'm usually on the gabbing end, so this is odd for me, LOL)

I know...I so don't fit in society...my husband's family was well to do, and wine flowed freely...and well, I really just hate wine. Some I can drink and it doesn't make me sick but if I have a margarita...well, it doesn't bother me at all...and frankly, I just really like the taste of a good lager...Hyacinth Bucket would never approve of me as a friend...

absolutely.. don't forget Grey Goose or Belvedere.. absolutely no smirnoff or anything below that... you're just asking for it.. I also firmly believe that if you add bar sours to just about anything you will make yourself much sicker than need be.. and ofcourse those classic, 'well garbage mixes'.. long islands at the top of that list.. just put everything clear in a glass add some bar sours and call it a cocktail...
