LOL - thank goodness! I do have a shoebox full of pictures.
Have you heard the song about a boy seeing his mom before she was his mom? So funny.

'Bout ten years old, hide and seek
I found me in the closet
Ready or not I stumbled on
And opened up that box of
Yearbooks, letters, black and whites
A hundred, maybe more
Next thing I know my brothers and me
Got 'em scattered on the floor (Yeah)
There was one of her, flippin' the bird
Sittin' on a Harley
And a few with some hairy hippie dude
Turns out his name was Charlie
Her hair, her clothes, her drinkin' smokin'
Had us boys confused
I'll never forget the day us nosey kids got introduced
To Mama, 'fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
Won't admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw Mama, 'fore she was Mama
We put that box right where it was
And never said a word
But growin' up got hard just tryin'
Not to picture her
In anything but aprons, dresses
Mini-vans and church
Oh and Daddy would have whooped our butts
For diggin' up that dirt
On Mama, 'fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
She won't admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw Mama, 'fore she was Mama
We laugh and hang it over her head
Right above her halo
Her face turns red when we bring up
That tie-dyed Winnebago
She runs and hides and still denies
That hip high rose tattoo
She burned that box of forget-me-nots
When she found out we knew
About Mama, 'fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
Won't admit she smoked marijuana
But that was Mama, 'fore she was Mama
And there's that one down in the Bahamas
But that was Mama, 'fore she was Mama

I never kept pictures, or be in them much, because they could have been used against me.
See. If I was drugged out, there is no telling what prison I'd be on now.

Um, Czech you're not that old! Cameras have been around since the 1800s.
Well.....maybe I hung around people who didn't know how to use camera's then. Sounds good to me.
Drunk arse's tend to drop stuff....
This is code for I kicked everyone's camera into the water so there would be no evidence.

I just did "Stories on the Lawn." I've been wanting to try this & it went well. I found a tree that had shade, put down tablecloths, and I gave the kids juice & chips.
flan
I bet the kids really enjoyed that. You sound like you really love children. I guess after reading about you all's youth I was real boring. I did not drink,drugs or smoked anything.
You poor thing! By the time I was drinking it I think it was renamed Tickle Pink.
I was a Jack drinker even back in the day. Everybody else was drinking cheap vodka or Boones Farm. I drank a 350 of Peach Schnapps by myself one night. To this day, I cannot stand anything peachy. Not even real peaches. That was a horrible night...I think I threw up the lining to my stomach.
JD never let me down...

I dated an alcoholic b/f for awhile. He loved peppermint Schnapps. He drank a 350 bottle of it every single day.

I am so lucky to have found a job in a library that I love!!!!
There is nothing I like more than sharing a great book with kids.

I was a cheap wine & vodka drinker. Now I am a more expensive wine & vodka drinker. I can sip Scotch & I like rum. I went through a Mojito phase. I can't drink whiskey of any variety basically the same thing as your peaches. And I hate gin. I can't stand the smell of it. Have rarely drank it ever. Same with Tequila.

I'm not a big mixed drink person. Now, I won't turn one down ("if ya know what I mean", said in my best Fresh Prince voice), but I would rather have a Jack straight or Jack rocks. Oh and a Stella, please!

I had weird dreams last night, woke up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep. I dreamed about my new job, no one liked me and there was no one specifically to greet me the first day so I didn't know what to do. When I left the office to go home a tree came down almost hitting my car.
Told DD this story on the way to school this morning, she turns to address me, pushes her glasses up onto her nose, and said, "your mind could not process during the day all the anxiety about starting a brand new job with people you don't know and a commute you aren't familiar with, so it resolved all the issues while you slept, brought them out." Holy crap, who is this extremely smart girl's mother???? I need to get her tested.

I drank anything but vodka was my choice.
Night train was horrible but did the job.
Wild Turkey was ok.
I remember the strawberry hill stuff.
Loved me some Sloe Gin.
Mixed drinks were cute but they always made me sick. Not the alcohol in them. It was all the other stuff that sit well.
I love strawberry daiquiris but I always get them without alcohol.
And wine coolers were ok. But if I wanted to drink, I wanted a drink.

She's right. Smart girl.
And yay about the background check.
