#57 - I Need a Drink - Gin and TANic (Page 67)

lisac957 - 2008-11-04 2:00 PM In college I used to looooove me some McD's while hungover. For some reason the grease helped. It sounded good at the time because I was HONGRY. Massive hangover from Halloween partying. I was just thinkin' about our fast food conversation last week and how I said I rarely ate it. But I craved it Sunday... weird.

Aw, poor little guy. It sucks that you can't explain to them that you aren't hurting them. Just make sure you give him a treat afterwards - then he has a positive reward to associate with it, and that might help. And lots of snuggles. Dogs aren't humans, but they understand the basics.

FWIW, our old dog HATED getting his toenails clipped - he was 90 lbs, and both my parents had to hold him down while one fed him bits of ham and the other clipped his toenails. He still loved us

lisac957 - 2008-11-04 5:01 PM Doooood. No.

well you are a woman of child-bearing age,  yes?  you don't just dress up like that to copy Ryan, do you? 

just asking.

so, the wife mentioned you get a free coffee for showing your "I voted sticker".  I wish I had some of the other free things (chick-fil-a) in town.  We only have starbucks and ben and jerry's.  But I don't want them...

wurkit_gurl - 2008-11-04 2:23 PM

There isn't a Krispy Kreme close to me. Or Chik-fil-a and I'm not sure where the closest Ben and Jerry's might be.

lisac957 - 2008-11-04 5:32 PM It was definitely the alcohol. We consumed some wicked Jungle Juice which consisted of Hawaiian Punch, Cheery Koolaid, Boones Farm Strawberrh Hills, Cherry Vodka, White Rum, Peach Schnapps, and Everclear. Now do you know why I got sick??? I did worry myself though... I've puked once or twice the morning after heavy dranking. Never 10+ times though. I lost count when I couldn't keep a sip of water down...

Aikidoman - 2008-11-04 2:23 PM

Oh yeah, we have Krispy Kreme - I forgot.  But still don't want one of those either...

Dang, be glad you're alive! Sounds like you might have had some mild alcohol poisoning...

wurkit_gurl - 2008-11-04 2:24 PM I want to go home and put on comfy pants. I am definitely starting to get sick. Ick. I am starting to feel all snuffly.

lisac957 - 2008-11-04 2:38 PM I know. I need to work on finding the balance of just being buzzed.

grdavison - 2008-11-04 2:33 PM

no chik-fil-a, krispy kreme, chilis, no Steak houses...  nothing! gah i miss civilization!

Aikidoman - 2008-11-04 5:40 PM

for my better half, four drinks is perfect.  That's when the wild side appears.  Less than that, no.  More than that, then it's obnoxious drunk time.

wurkit_gurl - 2008-11-04 4:42 PM

Four is about my perfect amount as well. Beyond that, I start to not feel good, and I NEVER want that to happen again. Ugh. I've only been sick twice from alcohol and the second time was enough to never make me want to be there again...

Aikidoman - 2008-11-04 2:40 PM

Just imagine if you had all of them, you could eat for free all day.

TheSchwamm - 2008-11-04 5:46 PM i do not remember the one time i was sick from alcohol.

You know who is going to get sick from the drinking party he's probably throwing right now?  Aaron Rodgers.  Why couldn't I have played football?

Rodgers’ 2008 base salary was increased from $680,000 to a whopping $23.7 million.  Since half the 2008 season is over, he’ll receive $12.9 million in total 2008 base salary.  (The numbers were first reported by Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.)

Rodgers also is due to receive a $7.42 million roster bonus in early 2009, which as we’re told is fully guaranteed for skill and injury.

"I'm just extremely blessed," Rodgers said. "Now I just hope I can give back to this community as much as this organization and community have given to me. It's pretty humbling, to be honest. At 24, to be as fortunate as I am financially is pretty humbling."

I didn't at first since I don't remember the vast majority of that evening. I started to sober up, and it was awful. I remember bits and pieces of it. The fact that I DON'T remember a lot of it is what scares me the most. I will never let myself be that stupid again.

That is the way to have it go.  You know who is going to get sick from the drinking party he's probably throwing right now?  Aaron Rodgers.  Why couldn't I have played football?
