Alas, I haven't been able to replenish my RL supply yet, but am working on it as much as I can. Got the space monkeys to myself for a couple of days, as Ami is off with her friend for a couple of days. I will be around on the boards, in the chats, and on my IM services all weekend. :)

RL sucks now as husband has decided our money is too tight for well.. extras.I'm not pleased,but I do apperciate the effort to save the money.

I do hope you enjoy your evening and dinner, as I am also thinking about going to a friends' house and taking the boys, just so we can get out of the house.

I also understand the financial concerns, as the second job is what is funding the extras in life right now. If I am successful in my quest, I will make sure to dedicate a bit of what I use to you, and I'll definitely be thinkin' of ya. I miss ya when we aren't on here (do you have MSN, AIM, or YIM at all?)

With the boys it is one extreme or the other. They are always willing to get in the tub, but sometimes they want out in five minutes and others they want to stay in until they look 85. I am not sure at this poitn what determines the change.

I love drinking it straight, there is no need to mask the fine taste of the alcohol, especially the maple charcoal wonderfulness of the Jack. I do understand, however, that a lot of folks are not like that. You can drink yours as I drink mine, and we might end up even, as I have a much higher body mass and a pretty decent tolerance.

Ever have it with gingerale? If I must mix, I'll take it with Detroit's finest, Vernor's, which considers itself too good to be called "gingerale". For those of us brought up on the stuff, there is no substitute. That said, I LOVE Stewart's Ginger Beer. It has a delightful kick that can only be compared to black pepper. I've not tried it yet with Morgan, but I suspect it could only be good.

I have never been much of a fan of ginger ale, though it may be because I have only had the cheap stuff from the grocery store soda isle. It always reminds me of being sick when I was younger. If I am mixing my Jack, I use Classic Coke, or sometimes Cherry Coke (though making it with cherry juice is good too). I also like it in a Manhattan, with a little sweet vermouth and grenadine.

I need to try this Vernor's, and also the ginger beer. If it is good enough, I may even try to make some of my own, as I have heard that it is not too hard.

*Patiently waits in line forming to comfort PR*
Chamomile is an excellent choice from what I read, as is lavender. Of course my reading only extends to the bottle of SoftSoap in my bathroom. Ironically, it's the chamomile that makes me think of my childhood illnesses. The scent of the stuff immediately brings that to mind. It was the same with the gingerale, too, but I overcame that as it gave me a comfort the chamomile didn't somehow. I must try some again.

PR you are just getting over something yourself, aren't you? Seems the ick is making the rounds again. RIMG didn't you have it too recently? Oy.

LA29, hope you feel better soon. Space monkeys can drain you on a good day...!

Hey PR, I know about your stance on alcohol and all, but maybe you could consider it an off-shoot herbal remedy? It does come from plants and can have a beneficial usage. Jus' sayin'.

PR - I agree with Jonny, looks like the cold is making a comeback. Mine did the same thing, and extra long hours don't help. I speak from experience!

I know that twinings do an apple and cinnamon tea that's particularly nice... um, do you have twinings tea over there?

LA - Delighted you like the signature. The song lyrics you chose were nicely inspirational!

RIMG - thanks!

DTH - Rhiannon is a sort of patron Goddess to me .so the song is very special as well.I know you'll understand that !Now you have made it even more special

And yes we do habe the twinnings tea.I love thier peppermint & keep it stocked during the winter.

RIMG - IF they both nap ,which would be a miracle ,and I will take full advantage.But until then I'm staying here with my tea and shiny friends !

Twinings? Is that like you and PR? No that would be "twinnings". Huh. Nope can't say as I've heard of that one. But you Irish are with your teas like we are with our coffeehouses!

You are always an inpiration, DTH. (I've already commented on LA's lyrics elsewhere, so I'll let yours stand unchallenged as I agree!)

RIMG - I think it is the taste of the chamomile that put me off. It's so hard to remember that far back. Let's hope that this round of Ick isn't as bad as the last one. Still think Typhoid Magda was the carrier of that one...

"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"
