Jumping into TD right now.....

Don't know nothin' 'bout a drinkie named B52 but it sounds tasty........ How about an Irish Car Bomb? Also tasty! 1/2 pint Guiness with a 1/2 oz of Baileys, 1/2 oz of Jamison's Irish Whiskey dropped - boom- into the glass. Drink quickly!! Mmmmmmmmmmm! Or you'll end up with a cement mixer.

BMo3 - Migraines - BAD, AWFUL! I can relate, tho' I have not suffered to the degree that you have. Treatments are out there. Hope you can find one to help.

Chocolate, in any form. Not my chosen vice. Hope you all enjoy the chocolate of your craving. Give me caffeine. Give me wine. Give me spices. Give me time to ride my bike!! You may have your chocolate. Think of it this way........ more for you!

Huh. I've heard of the drink, but never with the Irish Whiskey in it.

The best thing I can ever reccommend is the fairly-rare Damiana liqueur. The scent is floral, almost like a perfume. Taste is light, delicate, but rich. Very hard to describe. #1 suggestion is chilled, half/half with Jaeger. #2 is mixed with 7-up, but neat on the rocks is good, too. mmm.

These all sound like mighty sweet drinks girls, kinda making my teeth hurt.

I like my whiskeys and liqueurs and such straight. No ice. No water.

there are a couple mixed drinks I like: gin and tonics, Margaritas

Red wines are good, generally. And champagne is ok.

but I really like BEER!

(Jaegermeister just isn't the same since they took the opiates out. Probably just after you were born, Kits. Mid-to-late 1980's.)

[snapdragen]

mmmmmmmmmmmm

Champagne!

Thanks for the links KN! I have never ordered anything from Ibex. Is their shipping fast? I have seen several people mention Ibex before so I guess I shall just go ahead and order one. Decisions, decisions.

[KnottedYet]

I think their shipping is fast. Maybe 3 or 4 days from Vermont to Seattle? Often it seems to arrive sooner than I expected. When you call, you can ask. They are also very cool about returns. I really like Ibex. I have no complaints about anything I've ordered. It all survives the washing machine (cold water) better than my Icebreaker or Duofold.

What color hat are you gonna get? I haven't decided yet.

I kinda like the currant "Skimmer" and the black "Meru".

Hmm. Wow. Yeah, I missed out on the good stuff!

Thanks Annie. I have had migraines for 23 years, numerous neurologists and even more treatments. There is not much left, but to try to prevent another stroke. Right now I am on a treatment that I was on about a decade ago, we are just recycling them. Hopefully the tests will result in another answer. I should hold out hope, not give in. I am just tired of all the different meds.

I like all the colours. Tonic is really nice, although black is most practical, since it will show the sweat less. If I was wealthy I would buy one of each. So tonic or black? Fushia is nice a cheery. I do not know. I will mosty likely dream of the hats tonight.

JEEZ! I go to work, a little family get together, and you all go berserk!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR FISHBEEDR!

Jennifer/MO3--you've got a lot of respect coming your way from me. I've lived with chronic pelvic pain for years. It made me very crabby and self-pitying. I can't imagine the neuro symtoms you have and the pain over and over for 23 years. Well, I can *almost* imagine it, but I can't imagine being so positive and so involved in life, as you are. Sending you a hug (((MO3))).

Kitsune, Snap--wishing the best possible job for you both.

Chocolate. Yes. That's all I'm saying.

Tired, so very tired...can I go back to not working, yet they make regular deposits in my account? I liked that.

I have a date tomorrow night with Mr. FarAway. I had a fun conversation tonight with another guy who seems cool, and, like me, doesn't drink. Then there's the 62 year old professor, we have a phone chat date tomorrow. Oh, I am a popular girl. Funny thing, the 51 year old non-drinker is getting his master's at the university where the 62 year old is a professor...I had brief visions of running into one while out with the other. Haven't met either of those two yet. MWBR!

Had a great time with my sister/family/Mom tonight. My little Maya (the niece you saw in the picture about 50 pages of TD ago!) is so in love with her Aunt Lise. There's nothing like that. She was reminiscing about, "Aunt Yeesa, you rememboo the time we went to Kiddieland? You rememboo? An' we went on the plane ride and you were laughing and laughing! You rememboo?" Yes, sweetie, I remember. Oh, what a joy.

To bed. I feel completely unready for this 13 mile run on Sunday. Heck. It may be my slowest race ever! Jamie and I have dubbed our running style "Consistently Slow".

I also wanted to comment on how glad I am that you had your three babies without having a stroke sooner. Sounds funny, but as a midwife, that really caught my attention. How were the migraines during your pregnancies?

I am nervous and happy for you! Where will you and Mr. Faraway be going? And a phone date. Wow, you are popular, two dates in one day.
I do so hope you plan to report to those of us who need to live vicariously through others.

Your family time sounds as though it was quite delightful.

Sleep well.
