A little lesson in biochemistry for ya!!

I have to say I've not suffered so horribly as a result of drinking alcohol since I was a early teenager at my first ever party without my folks. I aim never to get myself into such a state again. Damn that dehyrogenase!!

Yes it is the dehydrogenase that breaks down the alcohol faster in men then in women so we get hangovers and drunk more readily!! It's awful because I love me some

wine with Shabbat dinners and anytime really....

Hey Lofters,

Quick note to say hey. I wonder where Barb is, I haven't seen her in here for awhile.

Hey EF, thanks for the rep and offer. Hope it's as nice in SC as it is here. This is a lazy day that has the look of rain.

Anyway everything I was going to do today, I'm putting off until tomorrow.
As Scarlett would say, "after all, tomorrow is another day."

Speaking of Scarlett O'Hara, I was with my good friend Mel, down on Peachtree Street where Margaret Mitchell's house is located. It's gorgeous on the outside looking like an antebellum estate.

As you know, Margaret Mitchell never saw Gone With the Wind on screen. She was hit by a cab and died here in Atlanta before it's release. I forget the particulars. And last year, the actor who played one of the Tarlton Twins died here in Atlanta as well. I think he was in his late 80s or 90s. I'm a Yankee, but I'm fascinated living in the south, especially in Atlanta, despite the razzing I take from southerners.

Sidbar: we do have a Classic Movie thread, started by me. Folks drop in every now and then, but Carmen and myself do alot of the posting because avid film buffs. If you are too, feel free to drop in and post about American films, between 1930 and 1975, roughly.

I do live a very hard life here which I hope will come to an end soon. I'm a trauma survivor and I'm going through many changes that will set my life right side up at my age. Tenacity, faith, perseverance, and a lot of heart are key in reclaiming my life. Broad shoulders come into play too, but I've that covered with my workouts.

I have to go now,
J

i discussed my thoughts about cutting my hair with my sister and she highly recommends it...i just might do it!

it DOES seem that way! my sister teased me all weekend b/c i am fanatical about the spf 70 sunscreen spray (there were hourly reapplications). People are always shocked to learn that i am 40 and i think the fact that i have not had a tan since 1986 has a lot to do with it!

What type of offer is this? I used to live in Gautier and would love to be closer to home. (But not in Gautier.) I miss the smell of mimosas dreadfully! I miss the food. I miss the music. I miss the beach. I just miss!
