As I remember...it didn't matter what was given. I either didn't like it no matter how good it was or I didn't know what it was *LOL* When given what I wanted...it didn't last long enough. That wine making kit.... let the wine sit for 6 months and it will be ready. Ya right...at 30 days it started tasting good enough.

Don't give this poem on a plaque I saw once: "I have a few reasons for drinking, And one has just entered my head: If a man can't drink when he's living, How the heck can he drink when he's dead!" Doesn't bother me. My Heaven includes booze, and a more magnificent buzz than all the booze in the world can give, and it never ends.

One year my ex-husband let my son (5 years old) get me a shot glass for my birthday. My son was so excited about the cute little glass he got me that i didn't have the heart to trash it. It's hidden behind a picture frame on a knick knack shelf so i don't have to look at it all the time but if he asks where it is I can say "Oh, right here!". LOL!

hi ya'all for harmony in the homes, it helps to not give the alcoholic any of the following items for christmas.... 1. any color of pants that show pee stains 2. any kind of shirts that are plain...busy patterns are the best to cover dribbles 3. any kind of shoes that tie....they always fall over trying to tie them 4. any kind of lounging pj's that have open flys....always sew the fly shut on these 5. never, never, never give an alcoholic hair gel or mousse for a present....believe me....their mates are at home hiding the stuff they already have....nuttin sadder than a tipsy one trying to gel their hair and think they look great oh, please don't throw rocks at me.....the above is based soley on my own experiences with ONE alcoholic, and in no way represents the culture of alcoholism as a whole.  love to all jeri |
