Oh satin-- Re: When we were really thirsty as kids we would drink a lot of water. Mom would say - "Save some for the fish".
when we would say, "I'm thirsty" and head to the refridgerator for milk, my mom would say "drink water!"
and now days, water is my most common drink!

some dolls which had a head and neck made of wax with clothing below the neckYes, Paulb, that is quite correct - this was a common way of making dolls in Victorian times. And many a little girl has spoiled her dolly by leaving it out in the hot sun, whereupon the face melts! I'm not sure when the practice of making wax doll's heads ceased - I have seen examples from early C20 but can't recall seeing any that were post Great War (1914-18 to you youngsters  )

"We ate like a butcher's dog."
On similar lines, we Londoners used to say, of someone in "rude good health", that he was, "As fit as a butcher's dog."

i don't like most beer or ales.. i don't like the flavor/bitterness of hops.. i do like malt liquor.. colt45 was one brand, zima is a newer version of the same thing, with lemon flavor, and there are many others.. in most cities, they are considered low class drinks.. they often have 4.5, to 6 percent alcohol, compared to beers 3.8 to 4.3-- and have a reputation of being ghetto drinks. since they cost the the same as beer (cheap beer) and have slightly more alcohol, you can get a bigger buzz for the same buck..
the are not sweet (well old fashioned malt liquor wasn't sweet, the new flavored ones are!) but they are also not bitter. I also like hard cider.. but not beer or ale!

Can't believe this one's not on the list.
And, if it is and I missed it, please excuse my brain so scattered!
Bear regards,

No, but Adnam's Ales, brewed in Suffolk, Uk are superb!

I'm not sure whether I'm not totally missing something here, but Adam's Ale in Australia is bottled water...

Yup. And I just saw one in the grocery store that puzzled me. A bottle of water labelled "Naked". I should have at least picked it up and looked at it to see if I could find out what the ad scheme was.

FWIW, I was saving my 700th with the intention of making it deep, meaningful and thought provoking. Ah well....maybe next time (but can't see it happening for years).
stales - old bastard, old hand.1. Your post was about as deep and meaningful as most here at the moment; and 2. You gotta keep your hand in, you old bastard.  [CapK, off like a robber's dog -e]
