Monsieur Naimark: I have been meaning to get ...AH! Monsieur Naimark: I have been meaning to get back to you on both this link to make grog (thank you, by the way) and the above recommendation for Tetley's, Honey, Lemon and rum.<br /><br />Americans like rum, especially those who live in states which were heavily trafficked by priates - not these Somalian vermin, but real ones from back in the 1600's. Florida and New Orleans come to mind. They cook their eggs in rum for breakfast, I think. Toward California it is a staple for Mojitos, a Mexican resort concoction which "real" rum drinkers refer to as a "Goddamn glass full of abomination."<br /><br />Deeper in the continent, however, rum is had but not as a singularly popular drink. <br /><br />I, alas, am not a rum drinker.<br /><br />My mother, as fine a woman as there is in this world, had the misfortune of being born in the American state of Kentucky. Fortunately she came of age in the Midwest, in central Ohio.<br /><br />Her mother, a five foot tall Kentuckian hellfire named Marjory was not a completely pious woman, kept a straight home, and drank a bit. From what I hear, never to excess.<br /><br />She drank Jack Daniels. From the bottle.<br /><br />From the time I was a lad, there was a bottle of Jack Daniels in the cupboard, and that bottle was years and years old. It served a single purpose: to make cold and flu remedies.<br /><br />I always thought Jack Daniels was really only made in order that bikers and low level menial workers and various unsavory types could enjoy Bourbon Whiskey, but no: JD is a beloved favorite in America across the board, from dive bars to boardrooms. That recipe: Tetley's, Honey, Lemon, and Jack Daniels, has saved many a life over the years here, as I am no doubt certain the substitution of rum has protected your fellow countrymen there in France from the perils of influenza and other viral maladies.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I doubt JD would make good grog, and I've always wanted to try it. Thanks for the recipe!<br /><br />Hoping all is well with you over there, and with your tiny little bitty president.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />STCSchuyler =^oo^=https://www.blogger.com/profile/05022527448487356922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904551769624343498.post-6745787076130214922009-11-06T19:39:52.202-08:002009-11-06T19:39:52.202-08:00I had a cool, snarky comment which I can't rem...I had a cool, snarky comment which I can't remember now, but found I can only READ you at work, not actually comment.<br /><br />You certainly have the "entitled snotty little asswipe of the first order" pegged.<br /><br />I know you are feeling better the same way I know when my husband is feeling better.

It does sound pretty bad and you're sure entitled to whining... hope you get better soon.<br /><br />I'm amazed you had to deliver a baby yourself --wow!<br /><br />You're still the giver of sound advice. I too like the "rent or takeout" baby and I agree that this "new girl" is bound to get fired sooner rather than later...<br /><br />As for your daughter and son, brace yourself. When they hit their teen years and probably for the rest of their lives, just the thought of their parents having had sex more than twice (you know once for each of them) will make them loudly disgusted... I suspect it happens once they have had sex themselves, but I don't know if vibrator adventures will lead to the same attitude?Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645682203535768013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904551769624343498.post-56345522870555243782009-11-06T12:31:52.542-08:002009-11-06T12:31:52.542-08:00Wondering if psycho kid has told the intended abou...Wondering if psycho kid has told the intended about her past?Marc Naimarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620977046545564744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904551769624343498.post-1909838055537492212009-11-06T12:31:04.707-08:002009-11-06T12:31:04.707-08:00Tetley's, honey, lemon, and RUM, please.Tetley's, honey, lemon, and RUM, please.Marc Naimarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620977046545564744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904551769624343498.post-62867500754377877152009-11-06T12:15:32.198-08:002009-11-06T12:15:32.198-08:00"You wan't babies, anyone's, even if ..."You wan't babies, anyone's, even if you have to rent or get takeout" is the best line EVER.
