Today is the first time I have indulged myself in this thread and I really love it. I do have a few comments to make... Sheila- about dancing with a cardboard Marlboro Man... I used to drink a lot, too!!! I, like you, am a nurse. I was dating a man who worked as a doorman in a Roaring Twenties night club in Denver, called Big Al's GasHouse. Well, one night he broke up with me, saying that he was too young to get married. I don't remember ever saying anything about marriage but he did owe me $13 and I wasn't about to let him get away with out paying me that $13 so I started working as a cocktail waitress there on the week-ends. I wore a flapper dress and danced the twist on the tables as part of the show!! However, as some of you may know, I was raised a good little Seventh Day Adventist til the age of 23 and although I was imbibing freely by this time I did not know the names of many cocktails. I was never sure what a Cuba Libra was but the bartender must have given me the right drink because I made great tips (made more money than I did as a nurse). Oh, that doorman finally married me so he would not have to pay back the $13. That was 45 years ago.
Love & hugs,
