Am I a Loser?
 

While my family naps on a lazy Saturday afternoon I'm just sitting here listening to NPR, drinking a glass of cheap wine, and reading FT. A few years ago I would have berated myself. But, ahhh, life is good.... *sips cheap wine*

Cheers, Dudemon! I'm sipping a glass of red Bordeaux ... though it is a bit later here.

I'm working at the office and drinking Deer Park Spring Water.

Having serviced my drip oil heater, ordered some new headphones over the internet and had a quick peek at FT, I'm about to walk down to the Golden Eagle Saloon in -38 degree weather for some serious drinking. Maybe one of Gene's mildly hallucinogenic Bloody Marys followed by a few $2.00 Molsons. I also have NPR on, Mountain Stage being one of my all time favorite programs!

Happy contrails.....

What's NPR? C'mon, Dudemon, drinking cheap wine and reading FT in the afternoon does not make one a *Loser*. You're going to have to come up with better criteria than that!

Uh, you're not drinking Mad Dog, Night Train, or Thunderbird, are you?

NPR is National Public Radio. I have listened to them on occasion.

Hmmmmmmmm......

I'm drinking a large coffee....listening to RadioCidade online from Rio de Janeiro, while checking out FT and looking outside my high rise apartment window at the 2 feet of fresh snow everywhere and the ice crystals in the -30 degree CELCIUS air. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Mmmmm...Wheat beer for me...and dreaming of adventures to come

Drinking a moderately priced Chardonnay while I listen to archives of the Phil Hendrie Radio Show (www.philhendrieshow.com) and catch up on FT. What a nice way (Phil is hilarious and FT is informative) to wind down!

Drinking a glass of hot premium port after a nice day at the beach where water was 74 and air 83.

Sounds like a perfect afternoon to me - with one exception ... remember the saying, "Life's too short to drink cheap wine." http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

When it comes to Loserdom, I think I score quite well, it's sunday and I am at my office working http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif 10 points for me I guess...

Loser? No way!

Here I am eating a bowl of Cheerios ... what does that make me? Next it will be a cup or two of tea then off to church. I usually spend my evening FT time drinking a glass or two of wine and listening to music.

Dudemon, not a loser at all... Maybe I take the cake for that, when you posted, I was on a mileage run to FLL, in FC no less, drinking my "cheap" Baileys on the rocks. But when I got back, guess what web site I logged onto first! LOL

Since my last post I managed to go through Kahlua with milk, Cinnamon Aftershock liqour, some lite beer and more hot port with cinnamon and cloves. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Alcohol industry must be really happy from the contributions of lonely FT'ers... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

ScottC: You will have to do better than that! I came to the office on a Sunday afternoon solely to check FT. The internet connection at home sucks, while the T1 line at work blazes!

20 points?

Just got back from working, and I should be sitting outside on some beach restaurant patio get mellow for the sunset, BUT its sooooo cold here suddenly - and the clouds say its going to rain, so I'm cozied up in bed with my warm laptop, and a nice bottle of cough syrup to, hopefully, get rid of this cold I've been fighting for a week, reading FT.

More like 30 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

geo1004, you, too?! I'm glad I'm not alone on that one...

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

well, I am retired, no office to go to, so whenever the fast access line at home is down, I drive to nearby Kinko's to check FT....

I do the NPR thing in the car.. drives my friends nuts when they want to listen to trance or even, god forbid, country.

I'd love to join in on the alcohol chat, but low and behold, my religion doesn't permit me to drink alcohol nor drink coffee/tea http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif So i'll sit there with ya and sip on my pepsi w/ lime or diet coke...

:P

Nah! And I love NPR! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Aren't all FT'ers kinda' "winners" by definition after all? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

But Doc - I'm not sure what it means if you dig up a post from 5 months ago. What were you doing that made you find this one and bring it forward?

It means that I know how to use "SEARCH!" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Needless to say, I was looking for something else when I came across it and found it interesting and worthy of responding to! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I do hope that's okay! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Uhm, I think the word is WHINERS.

10:20 PM in PHX and still above 90 out. Drinking a Canfields Diet Cherry Chocolate Fudge Soda, listening to the "Piano & Guitar" channel off the satellite t.v. and reading FT.

Oh, and had a great blue margarita and a nap earlier this evening! Grateful my religion is a bit tolerant...
