    Mrs. Wife has just called (stressed out) and asked me to leave work early. The annual neighborhood 'progressive' dinner is tonight and our house (with her acceptance) is hosting the desserts. Personally, I'd rather go to the dentist than have a bunch of boring retirees and busy bodies invading my personal space for the evening...herself has just called again asking when I am leaving. :sigh: Time to go now! Cheers!

        I'll dress up as a Texan and pretend to be your distant relative from the States. I bet I could ensure that your neighbors never talk to you again, much less invite you to a dinner.

            Good advice. I have been in Texas long enough to know what you mean. I would adopt the idea for the next occasion, but waving around with two revolvers is a criminal offense here.

                gin, vodka, rum, .... I have found that given sufficient quantities, I can even have a serious discussion with my mother in law (certified idiot) and not worry a dang thing what I say. :) I might have to deal with my bride later...

                    Well, not all three at the same time! :) I'd love to be able to partake of some nice Kentucky bourbon now and then, but it has much more smell than vodka, gin and rum in that order. My inlaws don't drink, so they tend to get annoyed if it's obvious ;) However, Christmas is coming and on that day, I get to build a roaring fire in the fireplace, make my self a whiskey based drink and sit down to watch A Christmas Story. If I time it right, I will be feeling just fine when Ralphie says, "Oh fudge......"
