You thought you could intimidate him with...your ability to use words?

I think you were better off doing as you did. Who knows what a pissed off drunk would do? I like to think I'm tough, too - but in that type of circumstance just getting out safely is what is best. I'm glad you got out safely, albeit shaken.

I'm sure that Bott made the right decision under the circumstances. I would have been very upset, too. A person should be able to go out in public without being assaulted.

I confess - I am really, really hating the commercialism of Christmas. People have just lost the true sight of the meaning.

**Cheetah** · 11-28-2011, 01:59 PM

I confess, I had to look up what a Squinkies is.

You would think someone frantically signing " no vampire! " and trying to pull away while saying "no" would give a guy a clue you don't want help.

I have two little granddaughters. They give me some and I return the favor.

I still haven't figured it out. All I can see are tiny little things to go on a pencil having their own town. A little heavier that the Sweet Streets things my daughter used to have.

As many people know, I live in a commercial area. So on the way to get a sandwich I passed a bar.

A one armed drunk popped out and tried to steer me in the bar. I ended up being escorted across the street, which was not busy and into the food shop.

I was terrified, and I thought something bad would happen to me. So at that point, I really thought "Yes, it does suck, being deaf and legally blind."

He was like a giant, drunken, scary boy scout, but I didn't need or want his help, and I was really shaken up.

I'd hate to have that happen to me. I'm glad you weren't run over or anything like that.

Maybe if you had eaten lots of garlic toast, you might not have needed the necklace.

**mbrek** · 11-28-2011, 03:40 PM

Mmmmmmmmm, garlic toast!

Making some tonight. Using a loaf or Puerto Rican bread as it was on sale (75 cents) with my non-dairy butter, fresh garlic and Italian seasoning.

He just plugged it back in!! This is too funny. Yep - the Expedition is gassed up and at the end of the driveway. I even have step stools to make it easier for people to get in. MIL has a need for it, so we have 2.

Wow! I would like to eat their Blackberry Glazed Sea Scallops appetizer!

For the main course: char grilled filet mignon with shrimp scampi

I don't really like alcohol, but if I ordered a martini : Crazzmo
Pinnacle Rasp. Vodka, Chambord & Cranberry Juice

It sounds like it will be a fun outing, and you will remember it.

One glass? Something is wrong with you. 21st birthday and 1 glass...

posts from hell · 11-28-2011, 09:51 PM

Btw... I've decided what I want from the martini list... Almost all of them.

**mbrek** · 11-28-2011, 10:14 PM

I've never had a martini. I'm more of a margarita kind of gal!

Same. I tried a martini before and it was gross.
