Sigh - I think I'll hang here for a while

<p>It’s “how did the loser with lower stats get in” time on the some of the college threads. And of course, since these are 17 and 18 year olds whose pride is stung AND these boards are anonymous, the immature sniping gets nasty, fast.</p>

<p>Also, given the second full week of my headache I’m abstaining from the real stuff. Anyone else up for a nice glass of virtual red?</p>

2

<p>Sipping away on my second virtual glass tonight.</p>

3

<p>Cheers! I’m dieting so I’ll join you with a great virtual Cab! ;)</p>

4

<p>Have a slice of camembert ></p>

5

<p>Jazz apples are my snack of the moment with a slice of camenbert.</p>

6

<p>Virtual dark chocolate with your cab? It’s Dove.</p>

7

<p>Don’t tempt me!!! There is a big old bag of chocolates sitting in the kitchen that I am trying to ignore!!!</p>

<p>shelley, those Jazz apples are outstanding. I just discovered them this winter, and have been really enjoying them.</p>

<p>My cat has joined us.</p>

<p>Sorry, but I am going for the real thing tonight (red wine). Is it my imagination or has red wine gotten cheaper lately? Or am I just shopping cheaper? :smiley: My price point used to be $10, now it’s $5! And there are plenty to choose from.</p>

<p>I too discovered Jazz apples this winter. I love this time of year with all of the apples to choose from. Pink Ladies are coming back into season now and they’re a real treat as well.</p>

12

<p>Cool, vicarious red is even better than virtual. Odd, both v words…</p>

13

<p>Jazz Apples are kind of my life. =)</p>

14

<p>I’m hanging here tonight in a bittersweet mood. My dd2 was named a finalist today for the English Speaking Union gap year in England. So proud of her. So hard to have her so far away next year.</p>

15

<p>Congratulations Shelley! That’s just wonderful.</p>

<p>(Hopefully you’ll be able to make a trip and see her in England)</p>

<p>I agree about wine on sale! Have found some great deals lately.
Was at book club last month and had a good cheap Cab…had a rooster on the bottle…Rex Goliath??? We were all surprised but everyone liked it and most were used to having more expensive wines!!!;)</p>

<p>Now I need to find and try jazz apples!!!</p>

<p>Darn! Just looked outside and it is snowing!</p>

17

<p>Ladies, I have enjoyed it - but 5 am comes early on the east coast…
Enjoy your wine (virtual, vicarious, or… veritable) and your evening…</p>

<p>Hey! What the heck are jazz apples? Never heard of them, so please explain…</p>

<p>Red, medium size, crisp, tangy. Found them this year at Wegman’s. I love apples and buy one or two of some one or two varieties each time I’m at the store. Bought these in December and dug through my garbage pail to find the stickie with the name on it because it was so good. Whenever they have them, which is not always, I buy them.</p>

<p>Jazz is a cross between Braeburn and Gala. Two of the best in the really sweet, really crisp catagory. Yummy.</p>

Stay away from the kids forums, I’m afraid that online posting has taken away that “I know your Mama” filter that kids used to have when speaking in public.</p>
