<p>OMG
I worked as a bartender through college, so I actually know how to make a pink squirrel!(young folks have never heard of this drink)</p>
<p>The line starts here! Creme de almond, anyone?</p>
<p>^ I almost hesitate to ask, but… what are they planning to do with it?</p>
<p>Is that…shaken or stirred?</p>
<p>I’d be afraid if you could actually catch a squirrel, it would probably be sick or rabid. </p>
<p><em>brrrr</em></p>
<p>Catching a squirrel… LOL. I knew some science geniuses who, when their dorm fridge broke in the middle of December, decided to put whatever frozen foods they can salvage in a bag and hung it outside the window of their 5th floor room. When they yanked the sack inside, it came with a squirrel latched onto the side of the bag. Catching a squirrel in a tiny dorm room, as it turned out, was not easy. :D</p>
<p>Haha…poor confused squirrel. We had a flying squirrel in our house once when I was a kid…in the middle of the night…my parents finally caught it and threw it outside. I think my father put on a baseball glove.</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>No posts since April 8? And it was mine??</p>
<p>I just came over to buy a round since S graduated from college & got a job. But there’s nobody here…</p>
<p>I hate drinking alone!</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Every chance we got this weekend we toasted the kid, however. Bourbon, beer, wine, and saki. 
:)</p>
<p>I’ll join you mommusic.<br>
S, rising college sophomore, is starting summer job tomorrow at law firm…40 hrs/week at a NICE salary. Granted, he’ll probably be doing a lot of xeroxing, etc…
D, rising college senior, starts her full time paid internship in 2 weeks at accounting firm.
Gotta love employed kids!<br>
Also toasting the alumni of kids’ HS…who have twice now hired my kids (and others!)
Cheers!</p>
<p>Congrats to you both!</p>
<p>I’ll toast the new college grads and working college kids! :)</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>I’ll drink to that!</p>
<p>My S starts his paid internship at a major int’l bio-tech company today.</p>
<p>:) :)</p>
<p>Congrats all around!</p>
<p>Drinks all around and two umbrellas to anyone who wants them!</p>
<p>I haven’t stopped by in a while and I miss the SA folks.</p>
<p>Hoping all of you are well as I pop a cheeto and raise my glass. Cheers!</p>
<p>Notrichenough, maybe our kids will be coworkers this summer? 
Congrats! Mine will be starting hers in 2 weeks.</p>
<p>I’ll take the two umbrellas! S2 just found out his TA job for his master’s program not only covers his tuition but will also pay him a generous stipend. Yeah! Of course he doesn’t have anywhere to live yet in NYC this summer, or in the fall for school, but I’m ignoring that for now.</p>
<p>It’s days like this that make me wish I kept a flask in my desk.</p>
<p>DougBetsy–go to your happy place in your mind. Mine is on the deck with some rum over ice & macerated fruit, preferably pineapple.</p>
<p>And pass the cheese doodles! Unless we have some cheese and crackers?</p>
<p>DB - I’m at my desk and I’m enjoying a virtual rum runner is a very tall glass. Much needed, well-deserved.</p>
<p>Because it’s Friday, do you think we order some chips & guac?</p>
<p>Drink up, the world is supposed to end tomorrow at 6:00 PM Eastern time. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Post of the day nominee. And personal mantra candidate.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the reminder. Can we order pizza & fries then, too?</p>
