Reed's Ginger Beer is what I amdrinking. It's ginger ale by another name. But it really really is gingery, 17grams of fresh ginger in 12fl oz of drink. It's got a nip to it.

Thanks, Varna, I did see it - but my security program stirred up a storm about it so I didnt see how I could install it. Thanks anyway.

Apparently they call it "Enyaconomics" because she has sold RIDICULOUS amounts of music over her career without ever going on a single real concert tour. She appears on night-time tv and what not to promote her music, and she'll sing a song, maybe two... then that's it.

Supposedly (I have no idea if it's true--I didn't research it) she's one of the only people to ever top the billboards repeatedly without extensive touring.

But yes, she's fabulously wealthy, and it's easy to understand why. Her music is very listenable, appeals to a VERY wide range of demographics(sp?), and she takes no chances with her public image. She's gone to a great deal of effort to keep only her public image, and a scant, mysterious image at that, in the lime light and she keeps her private life very securely private.

Yes, quite fascinating. Must be awesome, to have a successful musical carreer entirely on your own terms. I think most preformers, even the big ones, can only dream of that.

We love you too, sis!

Want some tea?

hectorberlioz · 12-12-2008, 11:23 AM

Yes, but what does she have to hide? She's obviously a member of the Illuminati, and soon plans on taking over the world's economy with her strange hypnotic voice, as she lulls all the G8 leaders to sleep....

Just a thought

I've done some tweaking to mine - or so I think, although I cannot find my notes right now - so that it isn't really installed at all. I run it from a memory stick, enabling me to run it from different computers without installing it and with keeping all the addresses with me, whatever computer I use. I seem to remember installing it and then exchanging one file for another - or was that a different program? Sorry I'm not able to be all that helpful

I run a few other Portable Applications from that memory stick as well, including Portable Thunderbird, my letter box.

Maybe she can get the economy back on track

I think you mean the enyaconomy.

Only ginger ale I've ever had was very non-alcoholic and bought in a 2-liter from Wal-Mart. I thought it was basically Sprite with a slightly brown tint to it, and I didn't like it much. Hence why I swapped it for the sweet tea!

If anyone is slightly interested in what I look like at about two o'clock in the morning, check it out!

The background for this is that I had to make a video for a class, and we did the first part with actors and the second part with popsicle sticks. I am filming this video. This is kind of like... us being idiots/documentary. My disclaimer is that, at the end, I pick up the camera, which is a dumb thing to do at 2:08 in the morning because it COULD make you slightly seasick. The other girl is my best friend and co-puppeteer. We did use a Ty bunny rabbit as a giant as an homage to Monty Python.

**Mari** · 12-12-2008, 04:47 PM

Hehe, Hector needs to watch that vid. He loves rabbits

***Varnafindë*** · 12-12-2008, 04:48 PM

You're the one with the scissors?

Midge · 12-12-2008, 06:31 PM

Yes. Probably a dangerous combination. Then there's this one.

I really have no explanation for this one. I think it makes my head look weird shaped.

Edit: Mari, Hector really likes rabbits THAT much? Really? I think they can be kind of creepy at times.

shesabrandybuck · 12-12-2008, 06:42 PM

*snuggles up on the couch ready to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas*, I need some cheering up and some hugs. I think Charlie Brown will help

So, whats going on with everyone? I haven't really been here lately...

***Tessar*** · 12-12-2008, 06:51 PM

*hugs!!!!!*

No wonder, that's garbage that the mislabel as gingerale. Get some of the good stuff, like Reed's or Even Jone's Soda does a decent ginger ale. It's supposed to be light golden, not brown at all. And not taste like sprite, but rather ahem... ginger.

It's great for upset stomachs and hangovers too, as well as colds.

I am just so full of kickassitude these past few days. I wonder what's gotten into me?

Mari, can I borrow your pillow and blanket fortress for a while? I'm in need for a good mope somewhere warm and quiet.

Midge · 12-12-2008, 07:37 PM

Anyone who needs cheering up can watch the videos I posted above:

The Early Morning Zombies (reference this post)

The Things We Thought Funny (reference this post)

Some people probably think I'm crazy for posting these, like blackmailing myself, but I just can't not share the hilarity.

Edit: This is a new one, Amelia on Having Babies. I would rate it PG-13 for content, so beware. Note: My friend is obsessed with having babies and her life's ambition is to be a midwife.

***Varnafindë*** · 12-12-2008, 07:46 PM

I work in a pro-life organization. My boss is a midwife.
