As you get older, somehow your taste buds adjust, especially as it relates to wine.

Southern Comfort with Diet Seven Up was a favorite in my youth (oy).

Your taste buds DO adjust to wine, it's nice!

"Southern Comfort with Diet Seven Up"

That sounds so . . . sweet.

I was in 11th grade, working at the movie theater, with an unlimited tap of diet seven up and diet coke.

I cannot even imagine trying to drink that now.

We also did gin and diet grapefruit juice.

And, the old standard, rum and diet coke.

Or, a Vodka lemonade slushie.

I also was fond of black Russians - vodka an Kahlua. I still drink that one on occasion.

Or, Champale.

I am shuddering now at the memories.

I'd be shuddering if I tried to drink those.

You think that's bad? Last night was Captain mixed with odd amounts of Blue Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, and pink lemonade.

Nasty.

We used to sneak into the drive-in movie theater with Vodka and Grapefruit juice, somehow thinking the grapefruit juice made it good for the diet. Friends sometimes hid in the trunk.

It was a long time ago.

DGG - sweetie, the taste of the alcohol isn't your problem.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 8:02pm

No, I know, Q. LOL.

But I still don't like the taste. Any sip I've ever had has been nasty. I got to a party school, but that just means there's lots of alcohol...it says nothing about the quality. Boxed wine and Dubra, anybody?

DGG - that is nasty.

Stick to Mike's Hard Lemonade. Even my mom likes that (and she make the one-eye squint face when she drinks wine or really cold drinks).

"make the one-eye squint face"

I do that when . . .

Nevermind.

I thought that was the one-eyed squirt face?

BAHAH!!!

Yes Girly. Goodnight!

What a lovely evening. Our friends in LaCanada have a friend who is a pilot for Qantas, and he's in town so he called us to have dinner with him. What fun! There is a certain cache about dining with a pilot with an Australian accent. I loved all the curious looks we were getting from neighboring tables.

I don't wanna go to bed yet!

Posted: 8/6/09 at 11:22pm

Then don't. But don't bitch at us tomorrow morning when you sleep through your alarm and forget your plums.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 11:23pm

A yo-yo competition?

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 8/6/09 at 11:39pm

*grumbles*

I know, I know. I'm going. I can't sleep through my alarm, or my chauffeur will be sitting in my driveway getting pissed!

G'night!

Posted: 8/6/09 at 11:41pm

Don't forget the plums!

[shira467]

Posted: 8/6/09 at 11:54pm

A yo-yo competition? Cool!

Yo-yos. Okay.
