You Are a Lemon Margarita
Sour, tangy, and overpowering, you tend to give people a jolt back into reality.
While you don’t sugar coat things, you’re honest – which is actually quite refreshing.
Take the quiz here
I’ll have mine with extra flies.
No, the ones with wings, mosca.
I mean: Yo sé 😉
Four flies—Is that called the Foley special???
You Are a Blueberry Margarita
Honestly, there’s no one quite like you. And believe it or not, most people think that’s a bad thing!
You’re open, wild, friendly, wacky, and tons of fun. You have a big personality… and a big heart.

OK, if they say so, I guess . . .

a recount of the results! How can anyone say bad things about Saint Omir of the RoboRater?
I am a strawberry margarita
I think maybe I screwed up the quiz …
you should retake it after the sun goes down and your true nature takes hold 😉
not nice.
If I wasn’t watching GG and then Veronica Mars, I might have to do something to you.
immortal words of Elvis: “A little less conversation, a little more action please”
I got strawberry margarita too. What is up with that?
It is easier to imagine us with cosmos 🙂
Definitely!
I just retook the quiz and changed every answer except one — because I couldn’t change that one and be truthful. And I still came out strawberry. sigh
Did you pick the red car too? 🙂
I picked white the first time and red the second time. Both were truthful, I could go with either..
I am leaving this flamewar.
Are you expecting sympathy? You know I don’t give sympathy.
Well, I’m a proud LIME margarita, so I hope all yous will allow me back into the Frog Pond.
Oh, and Mary – I was just as glad the Giants didn’t have to go to St. Louis to play that last game yesterday. But the Cards made it altogether too interesting. Good start today, though.
Hey you! I haven’t seen you since … well, since I saw you! You were lucky you came to visit the week you did and not the next week when the Great Power Outage hit.
The Cardinals don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.
Hey you, back! You’re probably right about the Cards, but after the Giants’ season this year, I’ll take what I can get. They had a slide much like the Cardinals’ at the end of the season, but the Giants were at .500 when it started. Not pretty.
The entire national league is … well, you know what it is.
I was sort of hoping that the Cardinals would go through the entire collapse and not get into the playoffs so that the George Bush-lovin ownership group would have to spend some money. But Atlanta decided to put us into the playoffs 🙂
Is your daughter finished playing for the season?
Kids are long done with baseball – it’s early in these parts, with practices most of March and games April to early June. I’m still of two minds about whether my 9-year-old should stay in machine pitch or go to live pitch. If live pitch, I’d like to see her try pitching, because she does have a pretty good arm, and the notoriety of being a left-handed pitcher could give her a real boost.
I’m moving to the bottom of the page where we have more room.
The sun is down, the blood-thirsty come out of their coffins looking for fresh meat.
I had to pick red, since I actually have a red sports car of sorts – an old (but not old enough) MG that goes from 0 to 50 in about a week. But a sentimental favorite anyway.
Even so, I ended up lime. Hmmmm.
How about a round of tequila..and get one ready mi amigo Anthony..he needs one real bad.
Scalia’s controversial remarks highlight high court case over immigrant crimes
>From CNN Supreme Court Producer Bill Mears
WASHINGTON — Justice Antonin Scalia opened the Supreme Court’s new term Tuesday by questioning whether a man deported to Mexico would be “abstaining from tequila” for fear of violating his U.S. parole terms, in a case involving a state/federal conflict over the seriousness of drug crimes involving immigrant
so … will you be in Chicago to meet us this weekend?
Unfortunatley, my schedule became messed up about a month ago. I have to be “somewhere” on Monday.
That’s too bad.
Although may I point out that Saturday is NOT Monday.
Can I send a proxy?
depends on who …
I’ll take 27 of any flavor Margaritas. Then lets switch to the harder stuff. 🙂
A little Mad Dog 20/20?
Have a rough day FM? How’s the wireless stuff going. I see FAR mentioned resetting. Did ya try that?
are on tonight — this makes Tuesdays the social event of the season for me.
Later.
me too!

Veronica Mars she is a cutie.
so … I’m assuming Charisma is either dead or we’re supposed to think she is?
And who was the blond guy at college that kept causing everyone problems?
Yup, I think we can assume that.
The blond is her step-son, son of the embezzling father, brother to last season’s murderer who took a big step off a tall building.
And with that summary, I’m off to bed. Night.
Weird laptop so forgive in advance any typos.
The Nature Boy went to the ER in his college town with abdominal pain and vomiting. By the time I drove down here he was in severe pain and had been in the ER for 5 hours and they hadn’t done anything but draw blood and start at IV. Long story short, the CT scan showed an orange sized abscess on what used to be his appendix, and no sign of the appendix at all. Apparently it had exploded as the surgeon so nicely put it. He said that if they went in now they would most likely have to remove a portion of his large intestine along with the damaged appendix. So they are administering IV antibiotics and will drain the abscess in the morning, then keep him for 3 or 4 days to see if the antibiotics are working. If so they will remove the appendix in 6 weeks. If he gets worse they will go in and do it now and risk surgery during a raging infection. Yikes. The boy is in pain and it’s killing me to feel so fucking helpless.
Anyway, spending tonight in a motel and probably the next 2 or 3 in his room.
how awful! Did he call you or did the ER?
Hey maryb. He called me from school and I told him to go to the health center. they sent him to the ER.
as he went to the ER? Are you alone or is Mr. N. with you?
Mr. Nature is here with me but he’s going home in the morning to be with the other boy.
especially in a smelly hotel room 🙁
Yeah, I thought Comfort Inns were supposed to be…comfortable. The whole place smells like mold and cigarettes and it’s supposed to be a nonsmoking room.
for anxious mothers — if it was nice, you’d have absolutely no distractions.
I wish there was something we could do for you besides feel bad and worry with you.
Try to get rest tonight despite your surroundings, because staying in his room probably won’t be comfortable either. Unless they’ll move a cot into his room for you?
If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Sorry to hear about yet another emergency in your life, SN.
I’m afraid to ask what’s next.
I could use a hookah partay!
Oh SN, I’m so sorry. You have been through the wringer in the last month, haven’t you?
Yeah, WTF is up with that? :/
This is awful, SN. My standard comment is “sunspots”, which is to say, how could this also happen to you/your family?? Wish I could be there to help. This isn’t fun – happened to my mother when she was in college and we heard all about it as kids. Not something to be fooled with, it is quite fortunate that you made him go to the health service!!
If he has to be in the hospital very long and you need to go, see if there’s a RMcDonald house near the hospital (yeah, corporate stuff, etc.), but they do put up family members largely free and your “kid” might be young enough for you to stay there. Decor aside, they are nice.
Sorry about stinky hotel, second. Perhaps Foley was in the room before.
For the record, I’m a Lime-flavored margarita.
congrats on the recommended diary, hope to see more from you in the future!
Lime sounds more interesting than sweet strawberry.
Bad health day, but here’s my margarita type if anybody’s still around:
You Are a Blueberry Margarita
(So is Kidspeak, but she probably won’t admit it.)
Honestly, there’s no one quite like you. And believe it or not, most people think that’s a bad thing!
You’re open, wild, friendly, wacky, and tons of fun. You have a big personality… and a big heart.
What Flavor Margarita Are You?
Margarita Moon in Malibu Tonight
You are in Malibu? Oh dear, I hope you are not a member of my family. What is your father’s middle name?
“Flathead” but I don`t think we`re related. You sound much too young.
It sure sounds like that would be a terrible thing.
“I hope you are not a member of my family.”
Well, I’m not quite sure how to take the comment about age. As to my family – that was saying stuff about them rather than you, which I should have made clear.
I’d be shocked, shocked to have my Malibu family posting here. I’d suspect they had been abducted by aliens (or finally come to their senses) as there is a marked difference politically between the west coast ones and those of us here in the flyover zone.
Over here GR.
If you aren’t sure if she should move from machine pitch, maybe you should see how she feels about it.
I’m in favor of more women pitchers 🙂
Well, the issue that complicates the matter is that our seven-year-old absolutely should be in machine pitch, and it would simplify everything to have them on the same team. That may end up just being too much of a compromise.
An additional argument for moving 9yo up is that it may make it easier to get her established at the higher level before she begins to notice that a lot of the girls have dropped out. Once you get past T-ball, the girls in our Little League are a pretty self-selected group. Girls are about 30% of the T-ball players, but maybe 10-15% of machine pitch, and even less of the next level up. But unlike the boys, the ones that hang in are generally the ones that can actually play.
nah, you shouldn’t hold her back just because it’s easier.
So … you don’t want her to notice that the girls have dropped out because you don’t want her to think that dropping out is the thing to do?
Close, but not exactly – my concern is more that she could develop a sense that she doesn’t belong there. Not an issue so far, but I don’t want it to become a barrier.
I meant “the thing to do” to encompass all the reasons why she would assume that she was supposed to quit. I can see why you’d be worried.
I wish you lived in a closer time zone so I could stay awake longer to talk to you.
YKos is going to be in Chicago next year — you should think about coming.
Yipes! Kinda forgot about the time diff. Pretty late for a school night. Almost time for the re-air of The Daily Show (we get both the east coast feed at 8pm our time, right in the middle of kid bedtime chaos, and a re-air at 11) here anyway. Have a good night.
g’night. I’m glad to see you again 🙂
