Question o the day... what is your worst drinking experience?

---

Back in high school when I was 17 or 18. I was just introduced to Sambuka a few months earlier. So on the night of a school dance, went to my friends house and drank close to half a 26'er on my own before we left. We never did make the dance but wound up the party after. Apparently when I had my shot on fire, I stumbled and the lit liquid spilled on my hand and my hand was on fire. Passed out in the bathroom. Hours later we left to go back to my friends house where I sat for another few hours with a garbage bag and a case of the "dry's". Had to work the next day at 10:00AM, walked into work, went up to the Manager and said "Don't F*&# with me toady, I will get everything done and do everything asked of me, just don't start asking me to do a million things all at once" Funny, he never did ask me one question or make one request that whole day. And it's always great going back to school 2 days later and having people make fun of you that you didn't even remember seeing :lolsign:

To this day, I can't drink Sambuka and get sick even smelling black licorice.

I haven't touched it since Michigan race in 2005. Missed the race and spent the time hooked up to an I.V. :exclaim:

70 Best Album Covers of All Time...

(blocked at work, so I live vicariously through you guys, lol)

[QUOTE=WolfDio;2348881]Oh... Had my Ultrasound at 7:30am.
Carotid Doppler (arteries in neck).
Will not find out the Results for 3-4 "w*rking days".
And the Technicians never tell you anything.
This Guy was thorough and very Professional (unlike my 1st U/S :rolleyes:).
But I kind of read something Between-the-Lines of his Questioning, though.
Before the Scanning, he asked about my Reason for the Test, so I told him that I have Degenerative Disc Disorder in 3x vertebrae of my neck. I said that this seems to be giving me the Symptoms of Mini-Strokes or TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).
After the Test, he wanted to know about the Symptoms I am experiencing. And he wanted to know if the DDD is "known" (to which I said it was).
Now, I was in no position during the Scanning to see his computer screen, but anyone who has had an Ultrasound know that there is an Audible part to it as well. Blood pumping through veins & arteries make a certain sound. Unless my Wolf Ears are seriously failing, I think I detected some weakness in spots. Not the carotid artery of itself, but in the "area".
There is some belief that the DDD is causing some pressure (TIA is temporary), hence the Test.
I am not worried as I have an EXCELLENT Referral in my Corner once I get the Results and then talk to my Family Doctor.
So, there you have it, my Good Friends.

....fingers crossed for a positive outcome....TR:flowers:

Not mine, since I`ve never been drunk (blame my parents, they`re Eastern European & started me drinking beer or wine with dinner from the age of 3ish & of course a shot of liqueur every Sunday morning).

My friend, on the other hand, could mostly hold her liquor, except for one particular time. We were on vacation, 22 yrs old, on a tour of California, Nevada & Arizona with a group of 40 or so 20-somethings. Needless to say, we did the tourist thing all day, then partied hard through most of the night for 10 days. On our last night, we all decided to paint the town (San Francisco) red. So we drank several glasses of wine with dinner, then all sorts of fun mixed drinks while clubbing. This is when I realized my friend was starting to go over the edge, since she ordered the specialty of the house (something called a Kuwait Kamekaze in tribute to the Gulf War :rolleyes:) - and she slapped my wrist when I tried to take a sip & declared it was hers (totally out of character, although I can see how the sweet chocolate concoction would be addictive)!

At any rate, once the club closed, the group of us headed back to our tour guide`s room. He`s somehow managed to convince the hotel bar to give/sell him a couple of bottles of Grand Marnier & Triple Sec. So, of course our drinking continued.

My friend & I finally got back to our room somewhere around 5am. I go to get ready for bed & start brushing my teeth, when I hear, "Andi! Andi!! ANDI!!!"

I come running out of the bathroom to see my friend lying on her bed. "The bed is doing flip flops."

I go back to brushing my teeth. "ANDI!!!" Again, I come running. "The bed is doing flip flops."

She did this a few more times - it took me 20 minutes to brush my teeth. I finally managed to get ready for bed, then I realized there hadn't been a mention of flip flopping beds for a few minutes. That's when I realized she was out cold.

2 hours later, she was bright-eyed & bushy tailed & ready to face the world. Me, not so much (think it was the excess exercise from running back & forth across the room ;)).

I still tease her about her bed doing flip flops. :lolsign:

I believed this lady and paid premium price. My hubby finally got her on the phone today and as it turns out she was lied to and he's not registered. We are waiting to see her receipt (which she was also supposed to provide when we picked him up) but she says she paid the same amount for him as she charged us.

My hubby says that we should drop it and not ask for some money back. That he is a great little dog regardless of his parentage and we should consider ourselve lucky we found him. Especially since if he was advertised as a mixed breed, which he probably is, we never would of contacted them. BUT I hate being taken and I paid for something I didn't get, a purebred Bichon Frise.

What would you do. Drop it or ask for some money back (I'd say about half) and if she doesn't pay up take her to small claims court?

....hi Karmac...how important are those papers?.....are you going to stud him out?....then it becomes an issue....you could try small claims court if you want to, at which point you have to ask yourself, is it worth your time and effort?.....sadly, you seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.......this could end up being one of those nasty life lessons........TR:(

Question o the day... what is your worst drinking experience?

QUOTE]

Went out with a Friend to a... few... Parties that must have been in other Dimensions. Have no idea how I arrived at any of them.
Woke up in my bed and figured that I had "got away with it".
Went downstairs as gingerly as I could, just to see a smirk on my Mother's face.
"Too much to drink, eh?", she asked.
I put on my "best" look of indignity and asked, "what do you mean?" Hrumph!!
Well, apparently, I pulled an Elvis Presley.
Went to use the washroom and passed out on the floor.
I do not think the different shades of blush went well with the Pale that I was.
For the entire day, no one was the required *quiet*.
Dishes and doors were banged and slammed with no Mercy.
My Mom would litterally yell, "LUNCH IS READY!".
"Mom... I am right here" I moaned.
"I KNOW!!"
I still say the worst was that I-Know-All-About-It Smirk she displayed for me.

Abbey Road, Pet Sounds, What's the Story Morning Glory?, The Miracle, This is Hardcore, Sgt. Peppers, Power, Corruption & Lies, Neon Bible, Appetite for Destruction, Nevermind.

A couple of weeks ago at jewelry class/social night, one of the girls had picked up some funky looking beads that she thought were quite quirky...until someone teased her about her "fish eyes", so she handed them to me. So on Mon, she got to see my twisted sense of humour. She was laughing so hard tears were streaming down her face. ;)

Pet Sounds? Really? Am I missing something here?

http://onealbumaday.files.wordpress....pg?w=360&h=360

Don't get me wrong, Pet Sounds is a brilliant album. But to be ranked among the greatest album covers of all time? Did Metallica's "Black Album" or Spinal Tap's "Smell the Glove" happen to make the cut as well?
