Note to Self
GOOD:Taking Zahava and Gilad to company-wide Bar/Bat Mitzvah party held in beautiful outdoor setting with tons of yummy picnic food (burgers, hot dogs, felafel, potatoes, corn on the cob, popcorn, watermelon, sodas, etc.), nice gifts for all the kids (Gilad received a handsome watch)... and a live performance by singer 'Roni Superstar' (don't feel bad if you haven't heard of her... I hadn't either) and her back-up
strippersdancers.BAD:
Deciding when you get home that the perfect thing to top off an evening of over-indulgence and loud music would be a big icy-cold Gin & Tonic before bed.
Please excuse me, I can't brain today... I have the dumb. Posting to resume when fur balls and gravel are removed from thinking place.

"Please excuse me, I can't brain today... I have the dumb."
LOL! Awesome! Seems I've heard that (or something like it) before, (you did come up 5th in a Google search for that exact line, the only other exact appearance was 2nd). Pending further investigation, I'll attribute it to you.
Thanks! Brightened an otherwise way too early morning.

Enjoy! :-)

Jethro... On a good day I couldn't come up with a gem like that. Today it was an accomplishment to come up with matched socks. That saying is at least a few years old.
Rami... No thanks, I'm searching for inner peace.

"...when fur balls and gravel are removed from thinking place."

taking your pubescent son to see non-strippers is "good?"

Feel better, Trep. (Drink lots of water and consider ibuprofen, too.)
I rarely take a second drink, but a few years ago I woke up with a hangover, and explained it to my kids. It made a big impression on them. (One of them used it in a story for school... OY!)
Talk about a "teachable moment." Now, sometimes when offered wine instead of grape juice for kiddush, they say, "no thank you. We don't want a headache in the morning like that time Mommy...."
If nothing else, it entertains the guests.

hehe
I'm still chuckling...not that I'm laughing at you, you understand...it's the line about fur balls that got me. And, OK, so I've been there too...
Of course today I also have a raging case of the stupids, so who am I to say?

A couple of weeks ago a friend made me a gin-and-tonic to go with my Shabbat meal. (Should I be embarrassed to say it was my first G & T ever?) Anyway, wanting to finish the drink so I could get to the good stuff (diet coke, of course), I downed it quickly. Within two minutes I felt warm and fuzzy all over and within three minutes I was giggling uncontrollably. I just couldn't stop laughing for about twenty minutes. Then it abruptly stopped.
But I felt crappy the rest of the day.
(I didn't know you were supposed to sip the stuff.)

Better a cold g+t than a warm mint julip. That's why we didn't serve alcohol at Meital's bat mitzva. We were afraid the bloggers would get smashed.
