Guest guest Report post Posted October 12, 2005 Hey I like decorating, it's fun! And the difference is we are celebrating when we do it. Some for show for Zak's amusement like window clings of Halloween scenes, some for blessings and appreciation to Ma Earth like corn stalks and hay bales. Which incidentally work very nicely into the garden and compost when done.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 14, 2005 hi peter, i don't like to drink, i don't like the taste, it takes just two or three drinks for me, then I pass out or I start getting too friendly with people. about two years ago, I went to a bar with my friends then after a couple of samuel addams I just started telling everyone that I loved them. people I had just met that night! I was quite embarassing and the way I felt the next morning was not worth it. I also have issues with it, because my dad, died in 2001, of alcoholism. my husband drinks that organic wines that they sell at whole foods. , peter hurd <swpgh01@t...> wrote: > > Its not getting drunk per se, its getting, getting drunk.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 14, 2005 Sorry about your dad. I havent got drunk for ages, nowadays 4 pints is my limit and I`m p*****d, to think in my younger days I would have drunk double that. Come to think of it I cant remember the last time I drank 4 pints in one go, its usually 1 or 2 these days, probably cause I dont go out much any more.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 14, 2005 vegan italian shall i see if they deliver to wales? Raphael: What an intriguing idea -- serve traditional Italian dishes but keep them vegetarian. No veal, no beef, no ham. Well, there is a fish section, but mostly the offerings consist of veggie pizzas, risottos, antipasti and polenta, along with veggie and vegan pastas. The surroundings are reminiscent of a fabled Little Italy hangout, with dark wood furnishings and white tablecloths. A small bar up front is a great place to have a Campari. Sidewalk dining is available on sunny days. 2132 Center St., (510) 644-9500. Berkeley peter hurd Oct 14, 2005 1:31 PM Re: Works Christmas Lunch?
