Or we'd all be just radioactive ash by this point.

We are stronger than they...

I'm starting tonight with a 25 fl. oz. Grape-a-rita to change the pace of the Friday night CH3-CH2-OH buzz. However, the vodka is available if necessary.

I would have had a salad, too. But they forgot to put it in the take-out order...

Oh well.

I've got booze to make everything better...

With four previous owners.

The body was mostly Bondo by the time I purchased it in 1987.

It was a heap.

But it was my first car...

I followed the only piece of advice I ever remember my Dad giving me: ‘Work on your budget now and your image later’. I kept that car for 13 years and loved it!

Colt to Le Baron convertible to Lexus to Camry ..to a month ago I got an ice blue Mini Cooper. And I just love it. It doesn’t have any of the Lexus or Camry’s luxury or technology....but I just love it and it reminds me of the old Dodge Colt just a lot hipper!

Usually if they're treating the center line as more of a casual suggestion.

But sometimes, it's hard to tell if they're stoned, or just being an asshole...

Are you having fun? Have you recovered from your stressful day?

Do you ever wake up with a hangover? (nosy, I know but you said to ask you anything!)

Hey, ailsagirl!

Feeling pretty good. Nice compensation for the crazy day...

I very rarely wake up with a hangover. First of all, I drink vodka, which has the lowest hangover index of all the distilled spirits.

And just to make sure, I slam a whole bunch of water right before bedtime.

A hangover is just severe acute dehydration...

That is, one drink and I get a headache
(is that considered lowered tolerance?)

My drink was a tall screwdriver (not a double-- just a single + extra juice to kill the vodka taste)

Enjoy your weekend!!
