<p>Sybbie - you are a naughty girl. Come on let's dance. At the moment, with all the wine in me, I don't give a fig if any more of my kids get into college. </p>
<p>Because the attitudes and things my college kid came home with this summer - well, let's just say we're not having heated discussions about Hannah Arendt or Tolstoy!</p>
<p>Gees, Sluggbug...I just focused for a moment and have to tell you your 30 great Book titles are downright Brilliant.</p>
<p>Sluggbug,</p>
<p>My wife and I planned our 20th anniversary trip (just the two of us) to Sonoma/Napa valley last September. My mom was going to watch the kids and we were deciding how many wineries/day we could see and still make it back to the hotel. Unfortunately Frances (Hurricane Frances here in FL, that is) had other plans for us. Maybe we'll have more luck with our 25th.</p>
<p>Have Fun!</p>
<p>Sluggbugg - I concur. Those books titles really made me laugh. I thought, given our locale, that Daddy Drinks Because You Cry was particularly apt.</p>
<p>All y'all who are traveling, to Jerusalem, Indonesia, Kona, come back soon.</p>
<p>My late night song I would be embarassed to have sung, especially since it would have been at the top of my lungs and moderately atonal, has that lyric, Make me an angel, that flies from Montgomery.....</p>

when I was on bedrest with my first at about 5 months pg I snuck out to see Bonnie Raitt- It was worth it.
Then when she was in high school to find out that one of her friends dads was a studio musician for Bonnie and when she was @ Womad she invited him up on stage! too thrilling.</p>
<p>Overseas,</p>
<p>we'll have your spot waiting for you when you get back. I'know we haven't been doing a good job of holding your spot lately, but Curm and the gang said that we were handing out too much nursing drinks instead of purchasing them and he needed to increase his revenue stream by letting interlopers come into our spot.</p>
<p>Crash,</p>
<p>I'll definitely have a drink with you. But I gotta lay off those wallbangers. Is it me or are we actually drinking more here since our kids came home from college, graduated or finished h.s. for the year?</p>
<p>Sluggbugg: Sounded like you needed a drink after last night's escapade. Good thing that you are switching to tropical drinks since this morning's Chronicle reported that Scotland's distilleries are running out of their older single malts.</p>
<p>
Was my father's drug of choice. Didn't know it still existed. Sybbie, do you have a stash, or can we still buyt them somewhere?</p>
<p>Jmmmom,</p>
<p>I don't know if BC still exists. I was having one of my senior moments where I remembered it as a drug of choice bacdk in the day. Hoping that it would help with the hangover and ease my sore feet from all of that dancing on the tables with baskets on em.</p>
<p>(we should not be having this much fun on a thread)</p>
<p>Dadofsam, say it ain't so! I developed a taste for the water of life when I lived in Scotland, and only discovered after moving back to the States that I had expensive taste. It wasn't nearly so pricey in the local pub. Oh well, I suppose this place doesn't serve a good single malt anyway...</p>
<p>Here in the south, BC powder is still widely used. When I first moved down here, I had no clue what it was.</p>
<p>Mezzomom: read it & weep, as they say:</p>
<p>audiophile - Daddy was a bit of a Southerner, Washington DC version (born, bred, lived and died).</p>
<p>It's five pm here in CA. The siren call of the cold varnished bar surface on my cheek.</p>
<p>BC powder? I get it, mix it with water and make a tortia-taco.</p>
<p>Slugg, Loved the book titles.
We do have 2 lava lamps in the house, but they were purchased by my sons - not originals.
I heard a BC commercial on the radio on the way to work today. PM me if you want some - I'll pick it up at the 7/11.</p>
<ol>
<li>Sluggbug. You got brownies? We only got chips. What a waste of time. We went to 4 show-n-tells. The worst was Caltech followed closely by MIT. Maybe because we are Oregon hicks.</li>
</ol>
<p>Ooes BC powder still come in the little blue and white envelopes?</p>
<p>itstoomuch,</p>
<p>You really deserve a drink after being treated so shabbily. Come on over to our table. But don't eat the taco.</p>
<p>OK, I cave. What is BC powder?</p>
<p>And Emerald, sounds like your D has some kind of a Bonnie Rait connection from a past life...</p>
<p>Who's up for a long island iced tea? I had a long day!</p>
