It's Friday and the BAR IS OPEN!!! Name your poison.

So, who has had a suck-ass week? Best tale of misery wins a prize.

So, what'll you have? First one is one me.

I love the aroma.

:evilgrin:

Gee wonder what it would cost to get a rhino drunk?

I do believe that you've stumped me.

;)

and keep 'em comin' -- I ain't driving.

GAWD what a week.

I'll trade a drink for each tidbit of woe about the past week.

This should loosen you up. :beer:

worrying about Richard the Cat. He's fine now but it was hell for a while.

BEER ME! Thank you.......

There's an awful lot of thirsty people here.

Glad your cat is better.

:beer: :beer: :beer: <--This should tide you over.

on da rocks.........

Would you settle for over an open flame?

ooooweeeeee that smarts.!!!!!!!!

Keep the change.

or a ten-spot?

Leaves no hangover :toast:

Any preference?

There is one with my name on it at home right now.

beam you home. ;-)

Hang on. The day is almost over, right?

I have a painful ear infection that has gotten more painful as the day wears on, my mother and I aren't currently speaking, and my boyfriend turned me down for sex last night and basically behaves as if he doesn't want me around.

Do I win?

Okay, this is post #3 for yours truly on this board, and as it's Friday and the week hasn't exactly been a Hallmark card come to life, I'm about to tie into the better part of a bottle of Glenfiddich.

It all stared when an insane guy, quite literally insane (he had his case worker with him) requested a house inspection (I'm the housing inspector for my county here in the Crotch of the Tri-State area.

He complained that the spiders and snakes were eating the foundation of his home. When I observed no damage to the foundation, nor any evidence that there were, indeed spiders and snakes active in the immediate area, the lunatic became rather vocal in his disgust with my proficiency at the inspection process.

Needless to say, his case worker was no help in calming him down, and we both beat a hasty retreat form his presence.

Set 'em up, bartender! And could someone put some Sinatra on the jukebox?

You'll want to reply to the original post, not the last post you read. It looks like you are replying to my post, which you aren't. So hit reply on the first post, not the one at the end of what you've read.

Poor baby. :hug:

You sure you don't want anything stronger?

I'll get myself all overcaffienated and I'll feel better, don't worry. :hug:

Can I buy you a drink, bartender?

Good one!

Got to keep the carbs down! :toast:

Love the new name. :D

:*

I don't know how to make one of those. Can I have a clue?

1 oz. Apple Pucker
1 oz. GoldSchlagger (sorry not in the spellchecker)

It's been a rough week.

What happened to you on the way to the weekend?

They've lived their lives in the toilet up to now, why should it be any different? (I work for a non-profit that contracts to the Welfare Dept. to get TANF recipients off assistance and into the workplace. Sometimes it's like pulling a heavy load up a steep slope.)

But I'm sure you've had success stories that you're proud of. Ya can't save them all, but glad you're there for the ones who are ready.

I want to poke the shrub in the eye with the tip.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

How's this?

Now I can poke him in both eyes!
;-)

I hadn't thought of that!

This last week has been one of the worst.
I was not a regular poster Here, just a reader and was caught up in the excitement of the election, the positivity of the whole thing. I could see the Kerry victory as plainly as I can now see my son's face today and never thought the Freepers could pull it off again, steal the election.
They stole the election!, they stole the election,! they... oh what's the use, no one even bothers to care anymore.

and got drunk! just because of bush..

How did you find us?

reposado.

:silly:

Hmmmm...

Well I've missed someone I like way too much these past couple of days.

Is that good enough to get me a nice cabernet sauvignon please?

I found out my insurance was cancelled because I didn't file some paperwork that no one told me I was supposed to file. As soon as I found out, I filed the paperwork and was told that, because it was late, my application for an extension of benefits would most likely be turned down and then I'd have to file an appeal which would probably be granted. However, it will all take several weeks, if not a month or more.

That's really about it this week except that I'm deperately poor but that's every week.

I'll have an Irish coffee for now, I think, heavy on the Irish. Thanks! :toast:

and jazz on the jukebox.

And I forgot my wallet.

I just want a Diet Coke right now,

I may need to drive later

..and use it later.

We don't just cater to the lushes among us.

I got a job this week, but it still is not enough to pay the bills. I am trying to figure out what I can sell.

If yes, I'll have a bottle of that.

If no, I'll take a very dry vodka martini.

I can't claim to have had the most suck-ass week of anyone here, but I do have a splitting headache and I LIVE IN IDAHO. The "living in Idaho" part has got to give me extra misery points, right?

Hubby left for CA on business for a week, God I miss him, and we are getting 3 to 6 inches of snow, now. Guys I rent a postal box from now call me Mrs. Kerry every day to taunt me about the election, started Monday.
Do you take visa?

If you are being called Mrs. Kerry, maybe you should change your drink order to something with ketchup in it.

of my being not to light the place on fire. Maybe I'll just call the cops and tell them that the store is trafficking in heroin. Oh, did I just type that or think that.

Spill some baby powder on the store's floor, then call. :)

to go with that as well? ;-)

Thanks.

And it looks like they're cracking another bottle. Hit me when I get home...I'm in the mood for something light, like a Bell's Amber.

:shrug:

Can you get me a job there? ;-)

Vanilla ice cream and Tequila Rose

who says that Prescott Bush's history is a figment of Michael Moore's imagination, I'll have a cask of amontillado.

Hang in there. :hi:

It's been a LOOOOOOOONG day.

;)

Have you been up to some shenanigans, young man?

I don't know if it's a real drink but I remember someone ordering it on an episode of the Batman TV series back in the '60s. Or may be it was The Addams Family.

:argh:

Absinthe Frappe

3 Dashes Angostura Bitters

1 1/2 oz. Pernod

1/2 oz. Anisette

Mix ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

The things you learn at DU!

The recipe presented is written in CYA style.

Thanks!

but I don't want to get into it.

Brandy, please. :)

else. Been meaning to get over there just to try some, right after I win the lottery.

A couple of years ago a guy from Brazil had snuck a bottle into the US. He showed us how to heat it up and drink it in what he considered proper style.

I didn't drink enough to notice any special kind of buzz.

Most European countries legalized it a few years ago. You can order it off the internet. Just stay away from the Czech stuff. I bought my 1st bottle when I was in London. It was La Fee, which is rated as a good quality absinthe and it's approved by the absinthe museum. I ordered two bottles off their website in the spring. I was shocked, because they got here within a week. It's not illegal to have it shipped to the US (subject to standard 2 bottles alcohol importation rule) and it's not illegal to own it here. It's just illegal to actually sell it within this country. Once again, an example of US drug laws not making any sense.

It takes awhile to get used to the licorise taste, but it's a fun drink. Just don't mix it with as much water as La Fee suggests (they suggest 7 parts water). It's much better with a 50-50 mix.

Next on my list to try is mescal.

Gotta run. Off to my other job. :-(

and not the Paris Hilton type, if you would be so kind.

a little pan music if you please also....:9
