Ma> We were talking about other, lunar, New Years - Chinese and Jewish 
 Ma> particularly - and I thought I was posting it on the interfaith echo.
 Ma> It  sounds like you did have a fun, sober, New Year's eve - we went
 Ma> out to dinner on New Year's eve and I made my sober alkie's new year's 
 Ma> drink for myself and him.  He'd never tried it before and he liked it.
 
 Yep, it was a nice quiet evening spent with some good friends and family
 members...
 Ma> I like this particular drink because it's a grown up soft drink and it
 Ma> looks like a hard drink or close enough, that most folks won't bug you
 Ma> over your not drinking.  What it is is 1/2 Welch's brand WHITE Grape 
 Ma> juice mixed with 1/2 sparkling water - like Perrier's or Pellagrino's.
 Ma> It is not as sweet as normal soft drinks, which is why I call it a

 Sounds neat. I like White Grape Juice.. I don't have a problem if people
 know I don't have a "hard drink"...My husband would order a soda and if
 anyone would give him a look, he would just say "I don't drink"..never had
 a problem, most of the people in the place we would stop in to play pool
 knew he didn't drink...Lots of times when I am out socially, I order just
 plain Orange Juice or Tomato Juice...You need to use whatever works for
 you..
 Ma> Anyways, I've got some exciting news - I have my JUNO address.  The
 Ma> one I gave on interfaith is actually my husband's account, but he has
 Ma> since set up another account for me - Matrika#Juno.com.   I believe you
 Ma> had  asked me if I had internet e-mail, well I FINALLY do have it.
 You mean Matrika@juno.com...must remember to use the @ in the address...
 Okay, kid, I will send a post your way and we can talk about all the things
 we can't here.....:)
 Light, Love and Laughter
