I used to drink brandy to mellow out the speed, and I would mix it with coke. Several times my daughters took a sip of my drink and ran to spit it out. So, from that point on, they would run over and grab my drink, and then look at me and ask me what was in it before they took a drink. How sad is that? Sometimes it was coke, and sometimes it was coke and brandy.

My chocolate lab used to follow me around too, I can't even count how many times I turned around quickly, and literally fell over her. Fortunately, I was the only one who ever got hurt. I don't miss those days at all. Carol
