I miss Fruit Tingles.

A fruit tingle is a sherbet sweet.

There's a cocktail that tastes just like it IF it is measured and made correctly.

Blue Curacao. Vodka. Ideally, grenadine (NOT raspberry cordial). A clear lemonade like Sprite.

It should be a true, clear purple once you mix it up. If it's blue, there's too much Curacao and it will taste too liquoricey.

Fruit Tingle - Steve the Bartender

Bringing me back to my first bar job. Personally I avoid a blue drink but it is a popular drink none the less. Vodka & blue curacao, lemonade & a dash of raspberry.

ACK at blue curacao! Long ago I had a cream colored purse stained beyond hope from a spilled drink made with blue curacao. Surprised that stuff is still around. Not telling how long ago that event was. lol

I don't like it on its own, but it's good in this.

I used to drink Midori, too. I don't know if I'd like it now. Illusions were big when I came of age, you used to be able to buy a jug full.

MOO

May 7​

We celebrate World Password Day ​

and ​

European e-Active Citizenship Day.​

May 7th is a reminder
of how deeply our lives have shifted to the digital world.

It demonstrates that the Internet offers enormous opportunities today,
but at the same time,
it requires common sense, safety, and informed use of new technologies.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

No No No!
I will not share my passwords even it is World Password Day

 

[Dotta]

I'm good at forgetting my numerous passwords
And they advise to make them as complicated as possible:
letters, digits, big, small, hyphens, all random, etc, etc.

Aaaargh!!!
