oh no! I hope kitty is ok. Let us know how it goes.

Diana, congrats on your daughter! I think parents should get a special diploma too. We deserve it

Syd, I hate drunk bumps....good luck abstaining. After FL my drinking will be very limited as my husband is having his liver enzymes retested right before Bonnaroo. SO I'll be supportive. Hoping it will jumpstart my weight loss so I can rock a bikini at Roo.

Kate, hope your kitty is ok!

Wolf, Derby is fun. The whole month leading up to it, there's just an energy in town. And lots of excuses to drink.

I leave for FL Saturday. It will be lushy. 0 last night. 0 tonight. Maybe a couple Wednesday.

Sorry about the kitty, but that is good that he isn't hurting.
I did pretty good for the weekend for once! Friday I had one marg and one chianti.
Saturday I had two vodka sodas and two bud lights but I pre-logged them and didn't have more, which is amazing.
Sunday=0 drinks
Monday=0 drinks
I should be able to log 0s til Thursday.

Another awesome pic ryzeman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night we went to a intro beer making class, on the 18th we are going to brew our first beer...we are going to call it 6th anniversary ale, well cause its our 6th anniversary....stop me if I've already told you this
Class was fun but we got home late and to bed late and its raining today and I'm tired WAAAAAHHHHHHHHH :sad: :laugh:
I had a flight and split a beer at dinner then there were beer samples at the class, maybe a total of 1 beer...maybe 1 1/2 but who really cares hahaha!
Tonight, maybe some vodka?!

I had 2 days of 0's....and that's if you don't count my bloody Mary at brunch Sunday....

Tuesday was 1/2 margarita on the walk to dinner, 1/2 bottle of sauvignon blanc at dinner, and after dinner (hot tub time) a cocktail I made I didn't like a lot but still drank: whipped cream vodka, Fresca, and cran. Too sweet. What to mix the vodka with....I wonder if soda water would mellow it out. Might have to try that!

Hey lushes!! Sorry I've been MIA lately...trying to keep the lushiness at a minimum, except for Sunday, when the husband and I ended up at the neighbor's house around 8:30 and STARTED drinking margs. Whoops.

My FAVE summer beer is out--Shiner Ruby Redbird. Nom. Husband bought me 6 six packs because last summer I couldn't find any of it.

Glad to see everyone's hanging in there!!

I've just decided to prime my liver for vacation. About a glass (maybe) shy of a bottle of wine last night. More tonight. Off to FL Saturday!

^^this^^

so I broke down and poured myself some red wine. I'll stop at 1 or 2.

Woke up this morning at a koa in Provo Utah. We were going to take three days to drive the 900 miles home. But, when we head for home we are like a horse heading back to the pasture. So after 16 hours of driving we made it home to Olympia WA.

Special thanks to energy drinks and my wife's iPod which had music from such "easy listening" bands like:

Godsmack, Ramstein, Mudvayne, Korn, Seether, Metalica. I learned to appreciate the music for its abundance of screams and f-bombs. Did you know that f@ck can be a verb, nown and an adjective-- and all in one sentence?

Happy mom's day to all you moms! My baby turns 19 tomorrow *sigh*

Earlier in this thread I posted that we had taken our scale (singular) on vacation with us. I mentioned my weight was down but wondered if it was due to being closer to the equator as the centrifugal force is greater there than at the poles. While most of you thought I was looney my son did some checking. Here is the straight skinny, from NASA.

The link takes you to the nasa web page but I copied and pasted it below:


Do you weigh differently at the North Pole than what you do at the equator?

---

Yes you do, because at the equator the centrifugal force due to the spinning of the Earth is at its maximum, and vanishes at the poles. This means that the attractive force of gravity is slightly reduced because it is directed towards the center of the Earth, while the centripetal force is directed outward from the center. The effective acceleration of gravity at the poles is 980.665 cm/sec/sec while at the equator it is 3.39 cm/sec/sec less due to the centrifugal force. If you weighed 100 pounds at the north pole on a spring scale, at the equator you would weigh 99.65 pounds, or 5.5 ounces less. Your mass, in grams, however would stay the same because 'grams' is a measure of the resistance of a body to being moved and has nothing to do with acceleration or gravity. Your mass in kilograms would remain the same. It is common for people to use 'pounds' and 'grams' interchangeably but they are not.


:yawn: :happy:

Aww Syd that's incredibly sweet...your husband is getting brownie point all over the place!!!

Very interesting Gary...very very interesting and proof I need to move south

We had a great weekend!! Friday was dinner with my gf, 2oz of tropical punch vodka with sprite zero and 2 1/2 beers.
Saturday we had my nephews communion party 4 glasses of wine during the day then 2 tropical vodka with sprite zero and about 1/2 bottle of white wine when we got home.
Yesterday I hosted Mothers day with my parents and brother and his family. It was a nice day, but I am hurting alittle today. Had 2 beers before everyone came over, 2 cocktails and probably about a bottle of wine??!!!
Think it might be a good idea to dry out a bit tonight. It is suburban beer week. Think we will go out thursday for some goose island flights at our fav beer bar and saturday we are brewing our first batch of beer.
Enjoy your day everyone!
