I drink a similar drink sans whiskey plus ginger, irishwriter, as a cold cure. It's delicious.

Yeah, it is super-irritating that my boyfriend is so in denial about multiple parts of my diagnosis. He thinks a lot of it is my choice. He even told me he thought I could be on fewer medications and work if I really wanted to. Nope, not going to happen.

Lemon sorbet sounds good. I'll have some of that, thanks.

Irish, I like your logic and your recipe for that drink sounds great. Its amazing to me how many people think that its our choice to feel the way we do. Thats so annoying.

Hi everybody,

I'm back for my drink and some lemon sorbet...

Thanks for being hostess tonight Irish....

hey, Mayb you're 5800 you get to make a wish, bring something wonderful to the lounge???? what is your dearest wish for spoiling yourself here. just wish for it and it shall be granted! go girl.

i hope you had a good day. still up here in never never land. and drinking coffee - the magic elixer. why did coffee drinkers keep it such a secret that actual real coffee is completely different to instant. they're like two completely different drinks! they shouldn't have the same name!

I'm chuckling over the fact that you didn't know there was a difference between instant coffee and real coffee. Do they still make instant coffee. It's pure swill.
Get a nice coffee maker and brew your own.
Have you tried Turkish coffee. I make it now and then, it's the Elixir of Life. YUM!

no i haven't had turkish coffee but i have my own cafetiere and i make pots of coffee and it is delicious! just the smell of it. in germany it was divine. who have i become?? oh my god!

see my photo - trio of comfort!!! who is this person??

OK I wish for a chair swing one of those groovy ones made of Ratan. It can hang here in the lounge waiting for a little laughter....

I'm tired tonight I have a lot of work to do but I'm camping out instead...

OMG Dobie, Turkish coffee is so good. I love all coffee although I try to avoid instant. Usually I drink homemade Keurig-brewed coffee which is pretty tasty.

Real coffee really is miles away from instant. If you want something even better you can go to one of this hipster coffee shops and pay $5 a cup for a pour-over cup of coffee or go to Starbucks and try one of their many delicious things.

Coffee is my favorite thing to drink, whatever quality. I will even drink day old in the pot bitter cold coffee if that's my only option.

Ireland does sound like never-never-land, irishwriter. Sounds very green and full of leprechauns and faeries and redheads. I'm sure I'm getting it completely wrong.

I suppose Hollywood where I live must sound like never-never-land too, in it's own way. The media constructs this whole idea of what Hollywood is like and it's really just an urban neighborhood with some hipster/touristy shit running through it. There are a lot of palm trees, that myth is true. And i do see famous people occasionally but not that often, I don't get out much.

I used to have one in my living room MayB. Once the novelty wears off it becomes an eyesore! And now you have a big hole in the ceiling.

Dobie the novelty is never going to wear off! I've wanted one forever! I want to sit and swing and read...

You may have heard this before:
"JUST DO IT"

yup, if you've wanted one for so long, you're gonna love it!

I'm already loving it! I've wanted one of these since I first moved out on my own....

Gee, that's a long long time ago MayB.
JUST KIDDING!!! Are you getting one this weekend?

mayb what did you wish for?? i'm dying to know what new treats are in store for us.

yes ireland is full of leprechauns and fairies and little people and shamrocks and pigs in the kitchens and claddagh rings and fairie forts and suchlike things and dont forget the guinness! begorragh and begooogragh. may the road rise before ya and all that....
