Ah, that kind of pissed. Still doesn’t’ make sense why newts are drunks - but it makes more sense that you’d have a cocktail on your hubby’s bday than being all angry about it. ---

Using the word pissed instead of drunk really got me into trouble in the very first game I played. I think the only person that understood was\*\* gnarly\*\* and he didn’t even know what the heck I was typing after that. My fingers were not attached to my brain! ---

and i remember when texas didn’t have an open container law. matter of fact that’s why longnecks were invented. you could pop one in the parking lot. take a couple of squiffs and then put that puppy in your crotch and it wouldn’t slosh all over you. west texas can be really desolate without a cold beer. ---

Hell you could smoke in the Hospital! when my first was born that’s just what we did. fuck the doc even took a cigar and lit it up once we got to our room. crap that’s when momma stayed in the hospital for like three or four days after the birth. and on your last night they brought in wine or champagne with the dinner. heh heh. ---

I remember that. Now they send them home before they know what they are doing My youngest was born in 1999 so no funny biz then. (except my mother in law smuggled in a 6 pack of beer for me) ---

damn I was all happy with myself for being clever, I didn’t even notice that the sentence I wrote makes little to no sense. Try “The safety of the citizens of Northern Central New Jersey is on you, Gad!” or “The citizens of Northern Central New Jersey are counting on you, Gad!” or something. In retrospect the whole thing isn’t really all that funny or worth the effort. Just get the Day started please. The waiting is killing me. ---

And it made sense to me the first time (should I be seeing someone?) ---

(except my mother in law smuggled in a 6 pack of beer for me) I had a major op in 86 and my Mom in law brought me a “healthy wine”, I drank the whole bottle and the nurses thought they had given me too many meds. I had a good time though, didn’t feel a thing. I want Day to start cos I have people arriving soon. ---
