He’s going to have two daddies

lol, not really, but it is local Polictics.

I know from local politics... met several long time pals there, a few who got to highish office from the trenches, others unsung but equally interesting.

I still remember the name of the local noise who was at an event at our house, grabbed my hand and cruched so hard I worried my bones would break. Just googled, he's still at it, not sure about the hand break shake at this point. Learning is possible.

Good luck Morgan !

I had two glasses of champagne last night and woke up with an awful headache. I should have known better, I just cannot drink champagne.

Those bubbles can be defeaning, can't they?

Yep, it wasn't cheap champagne either but for some reason it always gives me a headache.

I've heard a lot of anecdotal evidence about champagne affecting some people that way. Many times any liquor can cause mild dehydration and some mild toxicity...however 2 glasses isn't the amount that is often cited.

Out of curiosity, do you have any such issues if you had 2 glasses of wine instead? My guess is that it's also true for wine..that reaction. If that is the case, it could be that it's the sulfites in the wine and champagne to which you're reacting.

PS. As I've read your comments over a period of time I know this about you and I can't imagine you'd have drunk cheap champagne.

I do, can’t drink wine, champagne or even beer! However I’m fine with two mixed cocktails. I’ve always been that way. I must be weird

No...because in liquor I don't believe there are any sulfites. Not sure about beer.

My husband's allergic to the sulfites as well, he has a more severe reaction but he can't have wine or anything related. He can't have beer for another reason -- something about a mold allergy I think.

He can have hard liquor though, no problem. (Whiskey, vodka, tequila, etc.)

Beer is in the list of foods to avoid if you have sulfite-sensitivity:

The FDA regulations do not require the managers of food service establishments to disclose to consumers if sulfites were used in the food preparation (Papazian, 1996). Consumers should therefore be careful and not expect the wait staff at restaurants to know this information, as erroneous information may be given. Consumers with sulfite sensitivity must become savvy at deducing whether a particular restaurant food might contain sulfites based on whether a similar packaged good is labeled as containing sulfating agents. It is also important that the sulfite-sensitive individual be aware of the large array of cooked and processed foods that still contain sulfites such as:
•
Baked goods

•
Condiments, dried and glacéed fruit, jam, and molasses

•
Gravy, dehydrated or pre-cut or peeled potatoes, shrimp, and soup mix

•
Beverages such as beer, wine, hard cider, fruit and vegetable juice, and tea (Papazian, 1996).

Recommendations for Sulfite-Sensitive Individuals

The following are measures those with sensitivity to sulfites should take when buying unlabeled foods at a deli, supermarket, or food service establishment:
•
If the food is being sold loose or by portion, ask the store manager or waiter to check the ingredient list on the products original bulk size packaging.

•
Avoid processed foods that contain sulfites, such as dried fruits, canned vegetables, maraschino cherries, and guacamole.

•
When ordering a potato, opt for a baked potato over any kind that involves peeling of the vegetable during preparation.


If you have asthma, don't go out to eat without your inhaler! If you've experienced a reaction to sulfites in the past, carry an antihistamine with you, and make sure you have self-injectable epinephrine in order to stabilize your condition until you can reach an emergency room. (Knodel, 1997; Papazian, 1996)

That’s true, I had asked my doctor about that and he said it was the sulfites, I should have just had a mixed drink but they handed me a glass when we walked in and I should have known better but I drank it anyway, then the girl came up and refilled my glass a second time. I paid for it this morning and we were suppose to have breakfast with friends and I had to cancel it. First we had to sit and listen to a presentation but I was already sold on it weeks ago.

The cocktail party was a success. I met Al Ruechel from Bay News 9. I heard he was tall but I didn’t know he was 6’4. My cell phone doesn’t take the best photo’s. I can’t post what it was about until after the court hearing next month.

Blabber mouth!

Morgan knew he was too and he should have just put the drink down. Next time I will have to slap his hand like a kid

He shouldn't have anything to worry about, the other side can't win. The judge is only ruling to put it to a vote, either way it will happen!

You're on the right side Mocgan. Keep going!

Antonio is taking a hot bubble bath! He said he wants to put his warm jammies on early because it’s going to be cold tonight.

I’m lighting the fireplace!

Antonio is playing his piano, he’s got one hour then bed time.

I just poured the Puerto Rican a glass of white wine, looking for a movie to watch tonight. I promise only one glass of wine for him, we don’t want him hunting crackers tonight.

In a way I’m happy you decided to leave here, on the other hand I’ll miss your posts about Antonio. I hope you keep them up on facebook. See ya around Morgan.

Lot of anger from all/most of you.

I think it would be stronger to stay, and not even a piss fight, as many of us welcome you guys.

Whatever.
We get slapped, now twice.
