What do you Drink?

Heeheehee. I've got a similar one. I went on a Spanish trip to Mexico and my bf, who was a bit more versed in the ways of the world, kept pushing on my nose saying "are you numb yet? are you numb yet?"

LMAO!!

My first time drunk was on good 'ol fashioned Thunderbird. Oh my God.  Never since, never again. Quickly moved on to any type of beer, really. In high school a friend of mine stole a bottle of apricot brandy from her parents and we went walking around downtown Seattle swigging it. We both got horrendously drunk and heinously sick. That stuff was absolutely vile. These days I stick to a good brew and, if I'm out, shots.

I've heard the same thing about Preparation H . . . . also nappy creme on hands overnight. Haven't tried to Pre. H but the nappy creme works!

I've read about the models and prep H thing too before. I THINK the idea is that it shrinks... er... tissues. Isn't that what it does in it's normal use? So maybe it's got some sort of anti-inflamatory qualities or something?

I've heard about using the cream around the eye area to tighten that up......but never about the nappie rash cream for hands........


my dad had arthritis in his hands and he used to swear by wd40.....sprayed it on his hands and rubbed it in....

Oops, sorry - got confused about which cream we were talking about!  Sally Hansen makes a parafin hand masque that's nice - I use it during the winter when the dryness from heaters makes my hands a disgusting mess. Also, there's a line called Frills in the US - a friend of mine sent me their little kit that had hand and foot creams and stuff in it and the hand cream was totally amazing - it sloughed off all the rough bits and left my hands looking and feeling SO nice. Not sure if they sell it separate from the little kits - I'll be looking for it on my next visit!!

It was a tip I heard of on some little infomerical thing. Put the creme on your hand at night, put gloves on over them (plastic, like the kind used when dying hair) and leave it on all night. When you wash your hands in the morning they're amazingly soft! Like Anne I tend to use it in the Winter - it's really great!

First off, let it make it perfectly clear that I am not "from" Louisiana.   No, actually, I lived there for my high school years -- age 13-18. Then I got out as fast as I could!! We lived in Shreveport, but my family also had (and still has) an apartment in the French Quarter, so I had many trips to NO. Are you from La?

Yes, born and raised in New Orleans! Lived there until my mid-thirties then moved quite about around the states. BUT, no matter where I live and how long I live there...New Orleans will always be home. And, gotta say, if I'd had to live in Shreveport, I'd've gotten the hell out, too!

Where were you in NO? I have to admit that, in spite of all my visits, I really only know the French Quarter and the Garden District. That's the problem with visiting NO! Funny about Shreveport ... not the most exciting place for a teenager!

I lived in Jefferson Parish as a teenager.  My first drunk was rum and Coke at Ponchatrain Beach.  It was so blipping hot and humid that I kept on slugging away.  I went on the double ferris wheel and didn't even notice it was a double.  Miraculously, I didn't get sick then.

Later, I was crawling up the stairs to the bathroom on my hands and knees.  My mother woke up and asked me if I had been drinking.  I said yes.  She asked me if I was sick, and I said yes.  Then she said, "Good," and went back to sleep.  Didn't do that again until years later.

Belindaloo,  I'll try JW Blue Label, just to be sure I've tried them all.  I've tried the Red and Black Labels.

Oh, another story!, and I said so.  She said that she had used some of the wine that was in the fridge  I kept a bottle of Glennfiddich in the fridge, so I could have a nice cool one when I got in from work.  My roommate usually cooked dinner because she was home hours before me. 

One night, she made the best Chicken Cacciatore, and I said so.  She said she hoped I didn't mind, but she used the rest of my wine that was in the fridge.  We used the name "MacChicken" years before McDonald's.

I lived in several different sections of the city (Gentilly, Mid City) but spent my teen years in NO East. Lived in a neighborhood built on reclaimed swampland which flooded whenever it rains, which you know is every day there! Had a bayou running through the neighborhood which gave us a front row seat for nice things like nutria and gator battles! No wonder we drank!

OMG! Someone else who's misspent youth was spent at Pontchartrain Beach! My sick-up was on the MouseTrap! Swore off alcohol for at least...until the next weekend!
 

I'm having alcohol-pop withdrawls. I love WKD Blue and Red Square Purple (and the Pink kind). Does anyone know if I can get them anywhere in the USA? (or anything similar too them) All I can find so far is Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smurnoff Ice. 

Yeah and did you know those are made of beer in the US not vodka!

Really? I thought they tasted kinda different. I should have brought more WKD back with me.
