Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well i did get my decorations up yesterday with the help from my daughter and her boyfriend. I just need to buy a small tree, perferrably no taller than me! This year i plan on having a Christmas party! As my friends know i go all out and this year i told them all to expect to be here early to help! Not sure how much we will get done as the blender will be going all night! I really enjoy cooking for people who appreciate my hard work. I think i will have to tell everyone NO kids this year as we will be drinking and i really don't want kids runnig through my house. As i get older i have NO patience for little ones anymore (my daughter is 19yrs) In fact i tell her all the time i would not be upset if she never had kids....hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 This just makes me more depressed. I think it is because my family isn't very close and I want to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 , Congrats on getting the decorations and such up. And good luck with the party. A blender drink sounds mighty fine right now (the Monday after Thanksgiving. BLAH!). Ha ha. Take care, Caitlin --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo! Music Unlimited.

Better make sure that blender drink is non alcoholic Caitlin. <grin> --------------- Since the drinking of " Christmas Cheer " season is fast approaching, now is a good time to get on my " reminder soap box. " Mixing alcohol and any kind of pain medication is a huge No No. The combination of the two can easily be a killer. The big problem is that sometimes all it takes is a couple of drinks and the lights can go out permanently. Most deaths involving any kind of pain medication, also include alcohol. When it comes to mixing pain meds and alcohol, a person never knows whether one drink is safe or if it is one drink too many. Throw in an anti depressant and/or muscle relaxers and you may have a real recipe for disaster. To avoid getting excessively blitzed, or blacking out, or organ damage, or death, the best thing to do is never take pain medications (and many other medications) on a day you plan to drink alcohol. The risk isn't worth it. -- Lyndi (in work mode) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have been trying to figure out what to put up we have one puppy that will be a year old November 29th and I can't wait for her to get out of the chewing stage. So I am afraid to put up the tree, but I want decorations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is sprinkle it around and on the tree. When the puppy smells it they will back away and never touch what the pepper is on. We have never had a problem with bubba chewing on the gifts or tree, and chewed on everything in the house. Hope this helps out.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Personal opinion here. There is no reason to drink at any time of the year. With all of the meds we take it is simply not smart to do this to our bodies. I personally have never to my knowledge had one drop of alcohol, yes even at weddings! I have tons of fun and laugh all the time. So just don't drink, have a load of fun, just decline the drink, take your own beverage with you, a can of pop, tea, water, (its better for you anyway, and they have some great flavored waters out there now!), and that way you are not tempted, and you will remain sober and know what you are doing and not run the risk of hurting yourself in anyway. I have raised three kids now adults who have never drank, they always took their own drink. One did mess up, now does not, and wishes he never did, so know he always takes his drink with him. Works every time, gets you out of having to explain and keeps you on schedule with your meds no worry about interacting meds and alcohol and the next day you have no concerns. Be safe, Happy and out of the Emergency room! Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Last year we just put a cute small fence around the tree. Our dogs are small (mini-daschunds) but they stayed away from the tree.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 , I can really relate to a tree and chewing even though my Pugs are no longer puppies. The boys think that the tree is an indoor place for them to lift their leg on too! We put the dogs in their crates while we are putting up the tree and decorations. Then when we are all done we put an ex-pen around the tree problem solved. We don't have to worry about them getting any of the presents either. We also put the heavy green garbage bags all around on the inside of the ex-pen just in case one of the boys decides to lift his leg and I put tinsel and stuff all on the top of the ex-pen as well.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have a yellow lab and a husky mix, so not small dogs, more like medium and my yellow lab am still trying to figure out how to cut down his food or put him on a diet unless it is something physical that we have yet to find out.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I agree with you 100%. Alcohol, does not mix with antidepressants, narcotics, and many, many other medications. Heed the label warnings Hi Everyone, I agree also a very dangerous mix and I repeatly have told friends, family my soon to be ex so many times I cant count. He has taken lexapro for 4 yrs and Topanol and drinks a case a beer nite needless to say the affects to him mentally arnt good or physically and he dont care. fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
