I'm sorry it's seemed like I posted and ran yesterday/today, not my intention, Wednesday is my day home with the kids and I had a lot of errands, plus I'm usually asleep when you girls are most active! Again I really didn't want to be insensitive. I was really only joking, like I would with my friends irl. I sometimes forget that things can come across very different when put in writing. Plus without stirring it up again, i really don't feel like I was 'shaming' anyone, I could have said the same about working for someone that doesn't like chocolate. I was just a joke. I know you were joking and I know you don’t want to stir it up but I can’t not comment. *snip* I don’t want to get into it but alcohol has affected my whole life in negative (and sometimes positive) ways so I’m a little touchy about it in certain ways. This is what you should have said from the beginning.

This is what you should have said from the beginning. IT IS! I didn’t add my personal anecdote because at the time it wasn’t applicable. I’m glad I can only say something/be offended if I have a personal history with something. If someone says something bothers them you say “I’m sorry I offended you/that bothered you, I won’t do it again”. You don’t dig in about how it’s a joke, it wasn’t meant to be offensive or whatever else. This is the last I’m saying on the subject and won’t be returning to this thread. Obviously I’m the only person that feels this way so I will just avoid and ignore these comments in the future.

I might as well not drink because I have maybe 4 drinks a year. I'm team peachsmama and into mojitos, but also the same that many places don't make them. I've tried beer once and it disgusts me. Wine is mostly gross to me too. I try to avoid drinking my calories because I already have enough weight to lose. I used to like girly fruity drinks but most of them are too sugary sweet to me now. I will confess on part of my husband that his favorite drink is a strawberry daiquiri. Shh, don't tell him I told you guys. The friend I met at my last Army training was thrilled to have me as a willing DD while she had fun. I didn't mind at all.

inthekitty, MH loves a good fruity drink at times! He loves a drink called the pool boy at a local restaurant. He makes me order it, then we switch drinks and when the waiter comments I say I didn't love it and he offred to switch. Then he can just request another without needing to use the actual name. It's ridiculous.
