I once lost my wallet and it was returned sans money. I had 200 dollars in it. Two years letter I received a letter with the money. The letter said Christmas was coming and his wife said he had to return the money. He had my address after all that time.

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

wow, annie.

7:24 am

Anniebrook

I still have the letter.

7:25 am

BzznBea

What a heart warming story, Annie.

7:25 am

Haz1558

That's amazing, Annie.

7:25 am

car.eeyore

Awesome!!!

7:26 am

Anniebrook

Yes, it restored my faith in mankind. Remember I worked at the track and I saw all sorts of things that happened. Not too honest.

7:27 am

Anniebrook

Haz, your icon reminds me of the Lewinsky case when Pres. Clinton said "Define what "is" is.

7:27 am

72 Temple Owl

i still do not have ep 8, is that before or after the 9?

7:28 am

Haz1558

I know. It just tickled me, Annie.

7:28 am

Haz1558

The ep is after the 10 and just removes one letter from the 9.

7:28 am

72 Temple Owl

i hate to give up maru. perhaps they have him wrapped up as a present so i can keep him

7:29 am

Anniebrook

maru?

7:32 am

72 Temple Owl

but what passes as christmas music! i love all kinds of music, i will even listen to some hip hop but the poor child sounded as if she were wailing in pain!!!

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

no lie. it was just awful, and of course cranked up loud

7:34 am

Haz1558

Was this in the shopping area?

7:35 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, but i heard carols last week, may have been in the super market. gag

7:36 am

Haz1558

I know, by the time Christmas is actually here, everyone is jaded.

7:40 am

72 Temple Owl

many retailers are opening on thanksgiving day here, big controversy.

7:40 am

BzznBea

I think that has become the norm, TO.

7:41 am

Haz1558

We have one store in town which routinely puts Christmas decorations on display at the beginning of September.

7:41 am

72 Temple Owl

well, some folks may need the money. but i fear, as with Sundays, it will become just another day and straight pay

7:41 am

Haz1558

Is it the fact that Thanksgiving is tradtionally a holiday that has upset people?

7:42 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. it celebrates family. even if the women do all the work while the men watch football. :)

7:44 am

Haz1558

The stores will always say that opening on Thanksgiving or selling Christmas stuff early is due to popular demand. I think some people just view shopping as a leisure activity now and want it to be available all the time.

7:46 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I'd better get on with some housework. Have a good day and happy babbling to all!

7:47 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. when your menols are lying around in a turkey induced coma or screaming at the tv, it is nice to have an outlet.

10:39 pm

dcseain

it was one cocktail. I had a full bottle of wine each of Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday.

10:40 pm

dcseain

not that i usually drink that much, but a got a shipment from a wine club, and they want me to rate the wines by the next shipment, so this past weekend, i got on task.

10:40 pm

dcseain

and yesterday, i opened a really nice citrus mead made by a friend of mine in Vermont.

10:40 pm

kje

10:40 pm

rururocks

One cocktail kicks my buttons

10:40 pm

kje

10:40 pm

dcseain

sorry for all the chtt -- i had a coffee with dessert, so i'm a bit hopped up on caffeine.

10:41 pm

dcseain

it is lovely, kje, semi-dry, nice citrus flavor. I paired it with rapini braised with garlic, salt, and lemon tossed with farfalle.

10:44 pm

10:45 pm

rururocks

That's good dc..I don't drink much hard liquor. .so a little gets to me

10:46 pm

dcseain

i go through a bottle of rye, a bottle of bourbon, and bottle of gin each about once a quarter. Not to mention a quantity of wine.

10:46 pm

o-o

when I could drink it was Pabst Blue Ribbon

10:47 pm

dcseain

i can't have beer -- malt makes me get hives. I have to be careful with scotch consumption therefore, too.

10:47 pm

rururocks

I can't drink beer eit her

10:48 pm

o-o

drinking that stuff is a gas

10:48 pm

dcseain

thank you, o-o for that de6

10:48 pm

dcseain

i once got horrible hives from a 2.5oz bag of rold gold pretzels -- they have a TON of malted barley flour in them it turns out.

10:49 pm

rururocks

Wow

10:50 pm

rururocks

I only like the taste of dark beers but beer gives me migraines

10:50 pm

Nef

what is malted barley flour are you able to have regular barley, dc

10:50 pm

harpjane

hi 74 to go

10:50 pm

dcseain

i called the company. they sent me lots of free any size any type of Frito-Lay product coupons.

10:51 pm

o-o

Friday nights would chug pitchers and then find something to hang onto

10:51 pm

dcseain

regulary barley and wheat are no problem, and if i don't eat enough of those my GI basically shuts down. Malted, they both give me hives.

10:51 pm

dcseain

it's weird.

10:51 pm

dcseain

sounds like interesting times, o-o.

10:51 pm

rururocks

No wonder you stopped by

10:52 pm

rururocks

BR... not by

10:52 pm

o-o

Not really ... but stupid can be contagious

10:52 pm

rururocks

Auto correct

10:52 pm

dcseain

good evening, harpjane :)

10:53 pm

rururocks

There is a t shirt

10:53 pm

dcseain

So, nef, i've no clue what changes in the malting process, but my body does not like it.

10:53 pm

dcseain

stupid can, and when no one dies nor is seriously injured, it can be fun.

10:54 pm

rururocks

Until the next day

10:55 pm

o-o

had to stop to avoid problems with meds ... not sure whether an alcohol addiction is worse than brain altering meds

10:56 pm

o-o

or, perhaps more correctly, binge drinking ... had no withdrawals from stopping

10:56 pm

dcseain

Long-term, relative to _most_ of the meds, i think yes, alcohol addiction is worse.

10:57 pm

rururocks

I am not so sure about that

10:59 pm

Nef

o-o, that reminded me of a patient I once had who admitted to drinking a bottle of booze on weekends with friends (but insisting he wasn't a drunk). He did go through severe DT's in ICU; then the family told us he also drank 2 cases of beer a week (but he didn't think that was alcohol!

10:59 pm

rururocks

Binge drinking is rough though

11:00 pm

Nef

and I'm a total wimp when it comes to drinking. Even 1 drink and I suffer the next day from it.

11:01 pm

rururocks

I tend to watch what I drink

11:02 pm

rururocks

Wow before

11:02 pm

rururocks

Nef...wow

11:02 pm

o-o

I have worn many mental health professionals out ... their suggestion is I will always be a nutter ... a half bubble off center .... I have not suffered in silence and remind them they are the purported pros .... if you cannot help me why to you keep seeing me?

11:02 pm

Nef

DH teases me that he dated me because I was a cheap drunk.

11:04 pm

Nef

well, o-o; at least you know it, right?

11:04 pm

rururocks

That is too bad BR.... they are not professionals then

11:07 pm

Nef

I figure that at least as long as you are trying to get better; that's a huge step towards health

11:10 pm

o-o

The epiphany is getting over it ... the reality no matter what is going on, I am responsible for my well being ... learn what you can from professionals but plow ahead on your own ... do not accept defeat ... do what you can despite the naysayers

11:12 pm

Nef

I give you lots of credit, o-o. To continue to seek help in spite of what the "pros" said takes courage and determination. Our D-I-L is nuts but refuses to seek help. Unfortunately, I think that the path she's travelling won't end well.

11:16 pm

dcseain

yes, moderation in all things, not least things like alcohol, is important.

11:19 pm

rururocks

Not ALL things DC

11:20 pm

mkg

dc i am also allergic to malt. never met anyone else who was. wow. cant touch beer. but look at bread ingredients. all have malted barley flour. it is terrible. i seldom eat bread now. doesnt matter what type. matzo is pure and so eat that all year. eat rice and pasta. no malt flour there. barley is in everything.and most cereals have malted barley flour. and i am allergic. i get hives, itchy throat, watery eyes, dripping nose, and face all red. and sometimes even fever. as i kid i would have a malted milk every sunday and was ill sun nite and mon.

11:22 pm

dcseain

The amount of malted barley flour varies a lot. I can't eat the store brand regular or artisan from Harris Tetter, but can from Wegmans, Safeway, and Whole Foods. I have some limited tolerance for the malted barley flour and malt, but very, very limited.

11:22 pm

dcseain

ruru, lots of sleep and lots of water and lots of sunshine are good, but too much of any or all can cause various problems, so yes in all things.

11:23 pm

mkg

dc we should write this up somewhere. i have never met anyonebut me who is allergic to malt. i wonder if there are others out there.

11:23 pm

mkg

night all. must go to sleep. am so tired. dc we will discuss this again i hope.

11:23 pm

dcseain

my sister is like that too. Our mom is not, and i know not for my father, and he's long dead, so i'll never know.

11:23 pm

dcseain

g'night mkg :)

11:24 pm

rururocks

Allergies are a weird thing

11:25 pm

harpjane

I had a allergy disappear after 25 years.

11:26 pm

Nef

they are indeed, ruru. And dc, be careful because even if you "tolerate" some foods with malted barley in them; your body is still building up mast cells to fight that allergen

11:26 pm

Nef

Really, Harp? What was it?

11:27 pm

harpjane

help with the sa5 after the mean people?>

11:28 pm

harpjane

Eggs used to make me sick. One day I was at a dinner party where it was going to be extremely rude if I didn't eat the quiche. I felt fine the next day so I tried it again.

11:35 pm

harpjane

11:41 pm

dcseain

Good point nef. Finding pure wheat flour with no malted barley flour is nigh impossible anymore, at least at any reasonable cost.

11:42 pm

harpjane

11:42 pm

harpjane

I hate to ask....

11:42 pm

dcseain
