  Great recipes guys

  The Sicilian Kiss sounds like a good drink special idea for my bar!

  I love Blue Motorcycles but we call them Kansas City Icewaters here. We usually limit people to 3 where I work because after 3 most people are plowed. I've never heard of Bongwater but I'll check my recipe book at work tonight and see if it's in there.

  Fe203Girl's recipe for slippery nipples was new to me too. We have 'em here but we make them with Bailey's and Butterscotch Schnapps and serve them as a shot. Your's sounds better, less sweet.

  Vivamus-Amsterdam Sinfest sounds like a wicked good time!

  skirts

  what a load of rubbish.

  what's with the rule that says that ladies have to wear a skirt/dress to all meetings/service etc.?

  jesus wore a dress, does that mean that the men have to as well?

  I also thought the unwritten but definitely spoken skirt rules were wierd. Kinda like the men with facial hair phobia they seem to have. We had an elder who used to make the young girls kneel on the floor and if your skirt didn't touch the floor when you knelt it was too short! What a crock. We were also made to wear dresses/skirts in up to -40 F. flat tempuratures when out door to door. Brrr! We used to wear long johns under our skirts, rolled up over our sorel pack boots, quite the fashion statement!

  I would assume that the proof Elders don't have any more holy spirit than anyone else is the fact that they don't have fire flaming over the tops of their heads and they aren't speaking in tounges like the bible says people with holy spirit do. Well maybe they kinda have the speaking in tounges part down.

  I love the idea of dunking Elders! That would be SWEET!

  The bourbon/lemonade sounds mighty tasty.

  I like scotch too! Single malt Balvenie 12 year doublewood is my favorite. I like to ruin a good single malt by making it into a rusty nail which my fellow scotch drinkers think is pretty Philestine of me.

  Rusty Nail

  1 1/2 shots scotch

  1/2 shot Drambuie

  Yum Yum!

  Brandy Slush-Mmmm! Sounds yummy!

  Have you ever tried a Brandy Ol' Fashion' Blondie?

  It's the same as the Southern Comfort one only use Brandy instead. Brandy Alexander's with creme de cacao, brandy, and ice cream are yummy too. Just don't try to drink 5 of 'em like I did when I was 19. Huge mistake!

  Marriage Problem

  by voxel in

  2. friends

  i am a "worldly" person, not of any religion and am soon to be marrying a long-term disfellowshipped jehovahs witness.

  she has not been of the religion for over a decades time and seemingly her immediate family has accepted this through the years.

  we've traveled across country together so she could introduce her family to me and have not had any problems.

  Hi Jeff, congratulations on your engagement and welcome.

  You sound exactly like my husband when we were getting married. My family made the "threats" too and wound up boycotting our wedding and reception. He had over 90 guests and I had 10. It was an awesome time none the less and we're still happily married 9 years later without my family's blessing. I think my family's bad behavior has done nothing but bring me closer to my husband's family. I don't think many people have close relationships with their in-laws like I do.

  Her family sounds suprisingly liberal for JW's to me the fact that they've had peacful contact thus far is rare. She is luckier than most in that respect. Your wife is right, to them she's the one who's turned her back on them by rejecting their belief system. It's obvious to anyone who's never been a part of their mindset that the opposite is in fact true but changing their minds on this is a daunting task at best and impossible at worst.

  You should just enjoy your special day and if they show up fine, if not don't let it ruin what should be one of the happiest days of your lives.
