    OMG, I am laughing my very sober butt off at you. That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. At first, seeing the length of it, I decided to skim through it. I had to keep backing up to see what your latest dilemma was so I had to start at the top & read it all. I could just pix you at every step. Including your trips for more delicious drink.

    I have just one question for you.

    How the heck do you make homemade Bailey's? That has to be the best tasting stuff ever & I'm not much of a drinker either. I broke down & bought myself a bottle now that my husb. isn't here to do it for me. I keep forgetting it isn't orange juice. That bottle didn't last long. Now I use it as a vase.

    I have to admit that I also started by skimming your story. But, then I read a few of the replies and had to go back and read you word for word. It was great and so easy to relate to. You really do have talent that you should explore. Thanks for making my day a better place.

    Dear Yolanda, well, when I went blonde years ago, it was astonishing...I didn't have to become smarter? What happened was I became visible....suddenly people opened doors for me, paid attention to what I said, asked me to join the lunch bunch, helped me do stuff...that sort of thing...

    I too went blonde for awhile, the attention was to much. Felt like a t-bone steak at an A-1 steak sauce convention.

    I can identify with your stoy. I can see myself making mistake after mistake. Only, I wasn't smart enough to have a little nip or two so I could see my blocks thru rose colored glasses. LOL
