  1. Yes! This is the stuff I have.... Done! Got lots of unknown tourists ready to fill my memoir box... Who is this beast? Very unprofessional and childish of her....Please direct her to this forum, this thread specifically.....
  2. It's French...Called Absente. A beautiful, old-fashioned label, and the name at the top is Plantes Saveurs. And yes, it is 65%alc./vol. Freakin' strong stuff....no bloody wonder the Impressionists were incapacitated after tippling this stuff, as their absinthe was much higher octane. Gad, I'd be dead....
  3. That is SO wonderful, Alex! A celebratory treasure trove....a very special time capsule. Makes me think I should be putting my scribbled notes and sketches, my favorite photos and little knicknacks, away to be opened by my own daughter in what....fifty-odd years....
  4. Wow...a busy day in Sillyville. I HATE it when I have so much to do and my hectic day does not correspond with any one else's. Too much to catch up on! Funny how our stuff has cane sugar added, which makes it taste very much like Ouzo or Sambuka. Ours got cloudy after we added ice, and more so as it sat. A lovely, deep green. I was injecting...
  5. Susie! So happy you had a wonderful time away on your sojourn, as I did. My absinthe experience (and that of brother, sister and DH) was very....nice. Our stuff was quite sweet, so I couldn't have much...don't like having to bolus like that with cane sugar. I will repeat that I'm just ecstatic that you've got David right now. Thank you for the scientificness...
  6. Morning, Sillies!! Nice to get back into the post-holiday swing of things... no more hushed wilderness, beautiful, quaint alpine villages, hottub, absinthe and stellar company...got my job, my laundry, my dirty house, my bored children....yes!!! But I missed YOU GUYS! I'm back wif my silly clan. Omygaaaawwwwdd.... So my past posts...
  7. Mygawd, just realized something. There is no bloody way I can make an appearance on any other thread, for any reason, with this avatar in place.
  8. Frustrating, I know.....I could not find it anywhere in this part of the province...
  9. .....Yep. Frighteningly strong stuff. Well......at first, perhaps. No fear anymore. Our bottle has cane sugar added, so it was somewhat sweet. Didn't have to fuss with sugar cubes and holey spoons. Anyways, I now know where to get the phaerie, and I have found the perfect spot to indulge over a long weekend. So, I am going to rent the cabin...
  10. Yep, me too. Jess. I will read this...my dad's father died young of multiple myeloma....
  11. I know, I know.....so busy unpacking, doing laundry and detoxifying from the 65 proof Absinthe I found at the foot of Mt. Tremblant Village......!!!!!!!! OMG. I still cannot believe I found the stuff (the only liquor outlet, I was told, that has it available in Quebec...there it was, tucked away on the ski hill...astonishing...'twas meant to be......
  12. Yep...sounds good. Her name verbalizes very well....I've Sarahed a few times today, as I've been too busy to post... Good one, Amanda! Cubicles are yucky. We're getting about 40 centimetres in the Ottawa valley--15 inches. Ah, well....great skiing ahead! (If we can get through to the hill!)....
  13. Mornin' guys! Hey, Sarah was lurking last night, but no appearance...SARAHHHHH.... Please visit, and we will make a verb out of you. I second this...How you can remain so amusing, Bev, while feeling so sh!tty, is remarkable. Madame Silliest!.... Susie!! It truly does sound tranquil and magnificent... OMG!!! ...
  14. Wow! I'm a verb! Quite extraordinary. I must remember to inform my kids of this, as I will want it mentioned in my eulogy. Too many unbelievable things happen in my life. Hey! My bro's neighboUr could be one of these drummers. He's apparently got the cowbell. Wait....my brother's the drummer...he's allergic to most livestock...
  15. 'Tis true....and they're awfully quiet creatures, so you wouldn't necessarily hear them. Hey.....I wonder if there are any cattle up on the Laurentian ski hills? Gawd...I could be so thankful I brought along one of these things...
  16. OMG.... If he brings that cowbell and the thingy, you bet there'll be a new av. I will have to be quite drunk. This is not a problem..... Actually, some guy on his street really does have one of 'ese fings, and they are not surrounded by farm pasture. The real question of the day is, who is this guy? Who has a cowbell and thingy, with no cows...
  17. You know something.....very often, I put my pants on both legs at the same time....in fact, I think I always do this, providing I'm sitting down--not easy to do standing, I'll assure you. It's faster, and hell, I just don't have time for one leg...then tne other... Hmmmmm.....the little self-discoveries made whilst fraternizing with other Sillies.... ...
  18. Hell, I dunno....but I think I want some.... Ya got the brain today, Amanda....you'll be fine..... Not gonna have absinthe for the weekend. Maybe, just maybe, there'll be some over there.....Boy, I'll be finding an internet connection somewhere in those ski hills and letting you guys know if I get my mitts on some o' dat stuff....
  19. YES!! New York City!! Where we can be top of the heap, Kings of the hill, A-number ones.... We can make a brand new start of it.... ...and I've got me some vagabond shoes, as well...... ...Gad...I'd love to be a volunteer parent on that one....
  20. Too phuneeee!!! Gaaaahhh! Yyyyesssss!!
  21. Ah! In a New York minute..... Um....Did you guys really LOOK at that photo of said wolverine?....Pretty large....and lightish brown....I'm wondering.... This time I'm fairly certain that it is not my dad. No one, however, seems to know where the yeti is.... OMG.... Okay...this is a GREAT addition to the list of things I...
  22. Morning, All.....!! Alex, I had an uncharacteristic poor night's sleep, as well. Not FOUR NIGHTS like you, however....you must feel crappy. Good to see you on here, tryin' fer silly...... Love your piano story, Susie. You will be playing for us when we all meet...this narrows down our rendezvous location--must house a black satin upright.....
  23. Cannot speak too much about my Ottawa Senators....just get too sad. They are playing like a different team lately....like rank amateurs. San Jose should have no trouble wif them...Alfie's hurt, and he's essentially the whole team right now. THEY NEED ABSINTHE! Yes....how can I get them some?.... Imagine...posting when you've nothing...
  24. 'Tis. Definitely worth all those E's...I'm very lucky.
  25. Time flies.....Wow, I've been here for 615 pages. Ptaum, you joined in only 17 pages earlier than I? I thought you were established here from the beginning...Ya just seemed to know your way around, an' all....
