People sometimes bring their dogs into the wine store. I’m not much of “a dog person,” so initially I was freaked out. But the owners are animal-friendly, so I learned to be polite to dogs. Usually the dogs look out the window while their owners shop for wine.
And that’s just a little taste of what life is like when you work at a wine store.
I’m in the wine store for the next 2.5 hours. Let’s make this happen. Reds and whites, I got ’em both! ==============WINE==============WINE SALES /////////////// bottle of wine / fruit of the vine / —————- FREESTYLE WINE computer typing art ++++++++++++++
Next week will be the MNFTIU spring fundraiser! Basically, it’ll work like this: I’ll put a PayPal link at the bottom of a post, and if you feel moved by the spirit of generosity, you’ll click the button to donate money. The money will be used to pay web hosting bills and buy wine and all that stuff.
If you give a certain amount of money, you’ll get a customized animated gif … remember like we did last year:

From reader DS:
I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to handle Boehner’s speech, so I picked up my electric guitar and started playing as loud as I could, in an effort to block out his creepy Early 60’s TV Character aura. But when he started reaching the “Hell, No!” fever pitch, it was inspirational. I’ve never shredded so hard in my life. So thank you, Mr. Boehner. Thank you.
Speaking of shredding, did you guys see this video of Limbaugh cheering on grandstanding Republican obstructionists?
Ha.
Look at these tea-party dudes yelling at the guy with Parkinson’s. If health-care reform passes, they will be SO UNHAPPY. And that will put a spring in my step!
