Sadie - I'm happy to talk about religion and politics at my parties!

Does this mean a Friday cocktail hour instead of Thursday?? Be still my heart, no work the next day!

Woot! I'll be there then! With some good Oregon beer in hand!

red wine. it's still winter here. and bloody cold.

The end of my first week back to work deserves a wee dram of something with the gang, as does all of the back to school angst/giddiness!

Sadly I'll be drinking vodka and coke.

Oh shit MttM, I'm so sorry!

Oh MttM, that is such bad fucking news. I am so sorry.

I will be drinking sugar free koolaid because my conference paper is not even close to done (see revision thread).

oh MttM, I'm so sorry. That just sucks.

Oh NO MttM...so so sorry... :(

I'll be at the Allentown Fair on Friday evening. Not sure if I'll get to join you, depends on how the night goes.

Fuck, I'm sorry to be such a buzzkill.

MttM - Nooooooo! I'm so sorry. Big hugs from the Texas contingent.

Hopefully something alcoholic. But not unless AlphaGeek is actually at home. Don't want there to be some sort of emergency, and have me drunkenly trying to herd my kids around.

I was actually pondering this thought earlier today. I think I might be doing vodka/tonics. The weather here is supposed to get back to normal, so that's vodka weather. I may get some beer though. We have a neighborhood thing on Saturday, so I should have some beer on hand for that. Mmm, beer.

Damn, it took me second to remember why MttM's drinking would be a bad thing. I am so sad for you and your family.

I may crack either the imported gin or the imported whiskey.

Diggy, I love your new icon :)

MTTM-My heart goes out to you and your family. I am sad for your loss.

I'm on call this weekend, maybe I'll drop by and be able to keep up with a few threads of conversations this time since I'll be sober.

I'm sorry, MttM. We're all rooting for you to be a teetotaller again soon.

The blood of a virgin...oh wait, that's for my Saturday night party.

Mttm... wow. I'm sorry :( that really fucking sucks.

You know you've got a rock solid parents group when such a simple statement needs no explaination. I'm so sorry Mama...

I'm really sorry about that MttM.

I don't know what I'll be drinking. Maybe margaritas or the Mike's in the fridge that's been there for ages.

Oh MttM - I'm so sorry.

Hmmmm...four-day weekend, end of summer...sounds like margaritas to me.
