Quick & Dirty Tip for Generation Xers

Buy your liquor at Walmart.

Their rule is that employees are supposed to card if you look under 40. 

Just got carded.

Feelin' pretty good about myself.

LOL Nicki! Judging from your profile pic I would have carded you too. You look about 22.

I'm visiting from the BBQ too. Love the blog, and growing up in the 80's I can totally relate. Looking forward to following. Now I'm off to Walmart.

Hehehe, glad you enjoyed my helpful tip. :) It's nice to meet you Nicole and Lisa! I'll be by to see you at your places.

Thanks for stopping by again this weekend, Karen - and thanks a million for setting up the BBQ. It's been so fun, and I've found lots of fun new blogs to follow.

Hi, Nicki, dropping in from Karen's BBQ (and what fun it is). Nice to meet you *waves*! I read your profile and thought, hmmm, lots in common as I also write stories on line, am in the perplexed stage of how best to market them. Think I can learn a lot from you so am following.

I guess they would card me then, even though I'm a bit over that age!

Liz & Alex -- Get thee to a Walmart...now! Heehee. Glad you enjoyed the tip.

Kittie -- Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm new to all of this, but will try to pass on what I know and I think probably what will happen is we'll learn a lot from each other. :)

Hi Nikki, over from the BBQ! So nice to meet you! You look like you're in your twenties, so I can understand why you got carded. But definitely a nice compliment!

Well, aren't you the sweetest, Marguerite! Gotta love the teeny tiny photographs here that sort of gloss over the fine lines.

Thanks for popping over from the BBQ!

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

Image
We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
