Whew! if you did take up that kind of job, you would need a strong stomach. That much whiskey is rough on the digestive system. Rough on everything else too, but... there's a reason why drunks get ulcers.
Yeah, I know you were just using that to illustrate a point. My stomach did a flip anyway when I read the part about taking swigs of whiskey between rounds.
Maybe that's just me though. The smell of hand sanitizer makes me want to gag because it smells so much like cheap vodka.

One other thing I should mention about me - my family on my father's side is real tight. If you marry into this family, or if you're a good friend of this family, or if you're a guest who is staying overnight at this house, your problems are our problems. If you're upset at somebody we're upset at them too. If you get excited about something we're excited about it too... even if we don't totally understand it, we're excited about it because you're excited, because you're family.
One thing you gotta learn when you are in our group, your money is not worth anything here. Uncle Fred will fix Grandma's sink, or Aunt Diane will make a batch of deviled eggs Uncle Fred loves, or I'll give Aunt Diane a bag of dark chocolate truffles I found at a good deal, and nobody ever mentions "How much do I owe you?" You just don't ask that. You're family.

Yes, sometimes u wish others would feel comfortable enough to post, to share in a thread like this, but sadly many still wont, I think.
When we were being encouraged to read, I thot it was a great hobby.. but thru the yrs, my hubby esp discouraged from reading much fiction, wc I see my older sister spending much time on (and thankfully, I can give more time to the Word now instead of other). Unless ur really down to earth, very sensible and responsible, fiction may have a way of distracting from seeing other people's needs and eating up time. That's just me, ok... so I decided to spend free time on playing instruments and be an encouragement in that area, hopefully. Altho once, we were going out, and knowing I had minutes while the guys got ready, I pulled out my violin and someone was annoyed I had to instead of checking if I was missing to do something else

Sorry I got lost and not enough time.. thought this thread was at the Misc. forum and not found it sooner=).
When I was younger I could play some guitar, often using a few chords, wc I still miss haha. But theres only a child's uke at home now, and I haven't figured out how to use it! Piano often at my mom's, a wind instrument, recorder, wc I think is noisy when every neighbor is around at this lockdown, so I choose not to use it=), and the electric violin given last year. Thankfully, one can practice w/ the instrument unplugged, so it barely disrupts others w/ the sound, those who cannot or will not appreciate it=). Now I think it would be annoying when we're leaving in 10 mins., and I have to pull out the instrument instead of seeing if we might have forgotten something needed for the trip?

Hi bell,
Most of the family are into sciences, and many thought that was what I was going to pursue also, but I got vey tired=) and wanted something different. I did not even finish my first course, but ppl at home often joke abt mommy being a doctor when my only reference is "When There Is No Doctor" jk!-- and consultations wc I may or may not always follow depending on doctors' recommendations. Ah, but I know I was quite good taking care of them when small, coz a son had one hospitalization bef. going to high school, and no more. Its not bec I was a good cook, but I managed to sneak in some grated veggies into cookies, or soups maybe, so now they can eat a lot of those veggies, no problem, but we grew up w/ microbes being very real co-inhabitants of the planet, so maybe also the kids had their share of frequent hand washing long before covid was here!
So what arts do you like to do? I liked to sing a lot w/ the kids when small, so maybe they had a little too much of that tho, and now no one likes to sing hehe.

Hi
Hi mar, you seem like a really good mother. There is art in everything they say, even in motherhood. I liked art but I was not able to pursue it so I am not really an artist. I eventually chose the science path for my career because I had no choice. I enjoy photography. My highschool teacher also said I have a talent in writing. I also like any forms of art like music, paintings, drawings, dance, etc but I am not talented in them so I just appreciate them. I like listening to acoustic guitar, piano, violin and others. I tried to learn guitar but I just had no time,talent and patience. It was just accumulating dust so I sold it. Good thing you know how to play guitar. It must be really an enjoyable thing to do.

Ok now I’ll try to explain myself more I guess.
I’m a 29 year old lady of Hispanic descent, an 8th generation native born (though not Native American) Arizonan which is pretty cool. I live with my mom currently, and I have a sister who is married an in LA.
I’m a big ol geek who likes videogames, history, anime, animation, and period romances - but not romance novels as people think them now. Most of my reading comes in the form of manga and comics, especially like Sunday morning funny comics.
I don’t drink, smoke, saving myself for marriage.... uhhhhh.... oh and like I said I like Disneyland.
