Almost June

The year is just flying by, can't believe it is almost June already.

1. Do you have many celebrations in the month of June?

2. What one alcoholic drink (if you can pick just one) do you enjoy in the summer?

3. At a BBQ, which one would you rather have, a hot dog or hamburger?

Ooh, your incessant jealousy of professional, highly educated women rears its ugly head again, Molly. It's not a good reflection on you.

Jealous? Why would I be jealous? Lol. I make a little bit less than someone who is a college professor and work less than 40 hours. Again, why would I be jealous?

I dont think meat is the only thing that makes a meal considered a meal. Sigh...

The fact that you are a cheap host doesn't relieve the rest of their world of their obligation to cover the costs of their own parties.

I've hosted numerous parties before where I served submarine sandwiches and the like.  I still made them myself.  It's not like putting meat, cheese, lettuce/tomato/onion/pickle on bread requires special skills :)  Get a decent bread knife and a container of toothpicks and you're in like Flynn :)

Apparently you have quite the reputation for hosting parties with inadequate supplies of food and drink.  How sad that is.

Cheap? Lolol. Please explain how I am a cheap host. Would love to hear this one lol.

Did you miss the post saying I always make more than enough food and have enough drinks? Enough to give out at the end of the party and have leftovers. My friends are very generous and we always have so much at every party and bbq. We all live to eat and drink :)

Really, they had a 16th birthday party. I'm not sure why that is shocking to you, ime many boys have 16th birthday parties.

You forgot already?  

<< Yep, always do and they always appreciative, especially at a big party, like a BBQ. If it is a dinner party and we have not been asked to do a potluck, then I would ask what they would like. If no food is needed or wanted, I would still bring a bottle of wine or flowers or something small.>>

You have also talked multiple times about bringing wine to drink, not as a gift.  How can you forget your own words so quickly yet expect anyone to take you seriously when you say "you remember" it being said here?
