All I know is any time I've gone in to buy a case of Everclear, the clerk's mouth hangs slack in shock and you can actually see the wheels turning as they try to figure out how exactly to ask you what you're going to do with it. I had to look up Everclear. Can you use it to strip off wallpaper? Dissolve grease from car engines? Pretty sure it would work for those things, but I use it to make Limoncello. When my lemon tree gives me a lot of lemons... I make Limoncello.
Most recipes call for using Vodka as the base, but I've found that Everclear is a much tastier base and the flavors of the lemons are brighter and fresher. I sometimes give homemade Limoncello out as gifts. For my friends with a sense of humor, I warn them not to drink it near open flame. For my friends who have a little less of a sense of humor or who are snooty about wine/spirits, I just smile inwardly and say nothing when they rave about what they're drinking.

I have heard limoncello is a very tasty drink. A shame I stopped drinking 30 years ago. I would have liked to try it.

I haven't had an interest in booze or drink for 30 years.

Neither have I, actually, and very little ever if truth be known. But even I know Everclear. I was in junior high once. Don't think I ever drank it, but I knew about it.

I always bought half gallons of booze to avoid discussions with package store representatives. All I know is any time I've gone in to buy a case of Everclear, the clerk's mouth hangs slack in shock and you can actually see the wheels turning as they try to figure out how exactly to ask you what you're going to do with it. You're supposed to say "I'm gonna spike the punch at a PTA event."

I had a reduction 12-13 years ago. It was awesome. They aren't quite as nice at this point I'm sure as they would be if I wore one more often, but I went years doing that 24/7 and now if I don't need to, I don't Nice. I've wanted one for forever. I had a reduction done 10.5 years ago. It was one of the best thing I had done! My insurance covered it too (no shoulder straps but was starting to have back pain). I did have 2.5 pounds of breast tissue removed. I was off work for 2.5 weeks. I also don't like Percocet (leaves me loopy and does nothing for the pain). When I had a c-section 4.5 years ago, I still had the same reaction with Percocet but I did find that Mortin dulled the pain to where it was manageable FWIW.

Can you donate extra breast tissue? Asking for a flat chested friend... At the time I had my breast reduction done, one of my not well-endowed co-workers thought of wearing a push-up bra to work and say that she my extra breast tissue. Unfortunately, she didn't do it as she went to a client the next day but I thought it would have been hilarious.

How is DS so popular with the girls? He's been married and kissed on the bus. Over the weekend I caught a good photo at soccer of him lounging on the field with one of his teammates looking like they're deep in conversation.

I was perusing my insurance book yesterday and it really doesn't sound like ours covers it. They talk about cosmetic and reconstructive and they say it's only approved for after an accident or mastectomy.

Hubby decided he was comfy with no underwear on. I said if you can do that, why can't I! Hey no more panty lines, now I still wear them with some pants but not with others. Ahhhh free at last!
Yes, I guess we are naughty senior citizens, LOL!
Now I'm telling on us, He! He!
Another YM first - Patstab is drunk posting. Which is even funnier since she claims not to drink. Maybe she ate a few too many of those Christmas cordials with the brandy in them...
Maybe Loony's rubbing off on everybody?

I wanted to give you a gold star for that post because the image in my mind of Pat drunk-posting butt naked is hilarious, but you dropped the first letter of your sentences and it cost you points.

Why does good music make a not fun job easier? That's my question right now. I just spent 5 hours working on the yard cranking tunes and dancing the whole time. I'm sure the neighbors aren't amused, but I'm not amused by my neighbors these days, so it's a wash. Of course, don't you know that when I was dancing my way to the driveway from behind the house to Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity, I was quite surprised to find a Fed Ex truck in my driveway. The driver and I had ourselves a good laugh over my "dance" moves. Having a quick lunch now, charging my phone, and headed back out to continue working my way through the iTunes library on my phone.
