Gator Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Received this note this morning and thought it would bring some smiles. Subject: Giving Up Wine (A woman's story) Giving Up Wine I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?' 'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me. 'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked. 'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.' 'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked. 'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!' 'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.' The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.' I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuliaDay Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 8:31 am in Kansas. It has to be the right time somewhere to have a glass of WINNNNEEEEEEE. We are boy scout camping this weekend. So no wine or other adult malt type beverages until Sunday night dinner. Wish us good weather! Sunny days - cool (not cold) evenings Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I must say that I will give up shopping and I will give up hair appointments but I will never give up my wine. Never never in a gazillion bazillion years. I'm a wine-o and if I don't get to have wine then I am a whiner. I'm tellin' ya that a wine-o that is a whiner is not fun to have around the house. :cool: PS: here's a joke I tell sometimes (usually when I've had a little too much wine...) : What's an Alaskan woman's favorite wine? "I wanna go to HAWAII !!!" I'll be repeating this joke when it's January, dark and zub zero temperatures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae50 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Been away all day and just got a chance to check in here. I got a chuckle out of this and needed it after a really long day. I should open a bottle of wine, but DH went to bed already and I don't like to drink alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
