The Farmer's Got Me (hic) Drunk..............

Regina, Saskatchewan
February 20, 2009 6:10pm CST
Well the party's over, but the band is still playing in my head, so no yelling ok? Thanks. We got the truck out of the hole, got the hole filled in, and everyone was accounted for when it was all over..........Spunky made sure of that! The party hats were a big hit and so was the hot chocolate, baked goods and of course the coffee. The BRANDY however, was the hit of the day. Here's why: Every time someone cracked a joke at my expense, I had to down in one gulp a shot of brandy. The farmers insisted. It was their 'payment' for the use of their chains and tractors. Frankly, it was just an excuse to see me drunk! You need to understand that the ladies and gents (BIG HIC!) in my little town could drink Paul Bunyon under the table in 3 seconds flat. I however am a lady! I know when to quit..............(Double Hic!) So my fellow citizens have never seen me drunk. Until today. I may be small, I may even be shrinking, but in the right mood, I can hold more boooze than the local Beer Store. So for the first hour, I hardly weaved or stumbled or bumbled at all. Halfway into the second hour Spunky glued herself to my side, I'm sure because she could sense my rapidly disappearing equilibrium. When I tried to sneak cups of coffee, some wag spiked my mug........ Shortly into the third hour and one empty brandy bottle later, I finally fell over. Spunky draped herself over me and the farmers took pity on me, and carried me into my house and tucked me onto my couch. I just woke up awhile ago, and all I can say is thank heavens for spell check..........Anybody got a hangover cure? PLEASE!!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO!! Whoooo hooooo!!!! shazam saaaam!!!! Oh my gosh!! I'm soooo laughing at you sparks!!!! If only I could've been there, I'd have had a camera!!!! ROFLMAO!! I heard to cure a hangover is to drink the same thing you drank the night before and it'll get rid of your headache. NOT AS MUCH!! of course but just a little bit. Now I don't know how much truth in that saying but just passing it on to you and it's up to you if you want to try it. Other than that is to sleep it off.....

Would you do it again? Look at the bright side of this- you probably made some new friends They will probably help you if you ever need it again no charge after you provided that much amusement too.

Sparks, If you needed an excuse to get drunk, I could have just sent my kid's to your house for a week, you didn't have to put the dump truck into the hole. What some people won't do for a bottle of Brandy! Hugs Marilyn ( sure you didn't save a little for me?)

I never drink around small children. They tie me up and shoot at me! LOL Sorry, not even enough left to feed the hair of the dog. Apparently I got my tongue right to the botton and licked up every drop! ROFL

Hi sparky, So, no food fight then? well at least the truck is out and the hole filled in, no damage done either and everyone had a lot of fun and I'm sure you enjoyed yourself, must have been a great party for you to get sozzled, good thing Spunky was there to keep you safe, now for that hang-over remedy, have two slices of dry toast no butter on it mind and black. That will set up right. Love and hugs. Tamara xxxxx

Well sparks I guess that quiet little town that you live in really isn't so quiet is it? And those "old folks" really know how to party down huh? So that's what they do! Those farmers do know how to have a good time and they are polite too! They even made sure that you got into the house safely! Although, I don't think Ms. Spunky would have had it any other way! So at least they helped you out of your dump truck trouble! I guess next time you will leave it to the professionals???

[/b]WHAT SPARKY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU? DID YOU SAY WHISPER?[b] This better? OK try an Irish coffee. It'll make you feel better... for a minute. Glad it all worked out well and that they didn't let YOU fall in the hole. Bet it beat the local Barn raising.

OMG it hurt my head just to read that! LOL Irish coffee huh? That I can do. And shhhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone, but when I finally fell down it was right smack dab in the centre of the hole. Good thing it was filled in or they would probably have left me there!

The farmers just wanted you in a good mood and feeling better about the uh ummm dump truck...and the hole thing....well they helped you feel better alright. lol I have heard that drinking a drink when you get up helps when you have a hang over. But what do I know I was only a bartender for 10 year...I didn't drink much of the stuff. lol Shhhh everyone sparks has a headache...if she doesn't she will if we don't keep it down.

I never drank when I was tending bar either.........weird that actually as I was getting bought drinks all the time. I didn't have any booze left to drink this morning when I got up, but lots of water last night and some aspirin did the trick and today I'm feeling quite alright. Still have a slight headache but food should take care of that.....................got any food? Brownies would be nice. LOL

I have always heard the best cure was a hair of the dog that bit you, but I doubt that another shot of brandy would help you Best hangover cure I know of is simply to go to sleep and stay that way for a lot of hours

Well Daffy, I know you said you were going to have a shot of brandy for me but I didn't know that you were going to have one for everyone here at Mylot!! It's a good thing for Spunky. What a good girl she is. So, how many days does it take to get over a hangover at your age now? I mean, this sounds like a doozey of a hangover. It would probably take 2 days for me. Of course a bit younger, ok, a lot younger than I am. The only remedy I can suggest is to snuggle up with Spunky and wat till it passes. xoxoxo leenie

Spunky stuck close to me all night. She had the 'ralph' bowl right next to her just waiting for me to upchuck. But I fooled mother nature. I've always been good at quick recoveries and except for a bit of a headache this morning, I'm feeling quite fine. Just don't ask me to do anything that requires MOVEMENT! LOL

I promise not to yell, try tomato juice and lot's of water for what ails you. I'm sure glad you got that truck out of the hole, imagine the nightmares who would have come to visit that poor truck in that dark hole. You know trucks know they belong on roads and get upset when we don;t keep them there, and after all who wouldn't. Blessings and quite.

You should have seen the look I got from Spunky the next morning. She wouldn't come near me. Just stood in the doorway and gave me THAT look she gives me when I've behaved in a rather unladylike manner...............she's worse than a MOM sometimes! LOL

ROFL That's my hubby. I read this to him just now, and he cant' stop laughing. He's actually coughing really hard from continually laughing. Only you, Sparks, only you... I've heard of some, but they ain't pretty. One is to put a raw egg in a glass and drink it down. The protein is to settle your stomach. (I personally think it was created just to torture the already sick drinker. It's fun though.) I've given it to people, and they say they feel better. (I don't think they could feel worse, so the cure might not be that great.) Good luck. heh,heh.

I used to put the egg in tomato juice...........never worked. I wonder why? LOL Next time I'll leave out the tomato juice! ROFL
