Thanks Gahurts 
I'm always up for some chatting.
What's a fishbowl? I've heard of a scorpion bowl. It's supposed to serve seven, and I knew of one person who drank it herself

I just loked up the recipe for that fishbowl drink. It does look like it will lay you flat pretty quickly. I'll have to try it! 
ETA:
10 ounces vodka
10 ounces coconut rum
6 ounces Blue Curacao liqueur
12 ounces sweet-and-sour mix
20 ounces pineapple juice
32 ounces lemon- lime soda
blue food coloring, if desired
3 small fishbowls (each holding 4-5 cups volume)
1 box (6 oz) Nerds candy
12-16 Swedish fish candies
ice
fruit slices (3 each, lemon, lime and orange)
9 drinking straws

Thanks, Abby. I don't drink, but can I have a Sprite, please? If you have one, that is.

I've not read either of those, sorry. And I'm not talented enough to read more than one book at a time. But I do love to read.

They're both good. I'm leaning towards Eleventh Hour because it's a library book. The Last Detective is good, but written in first person. I have a hard time getting into first person stories.

SD - Everyone here calls me GA.
Some people were writing GAH as a term of exasperation and I thought they were talking to me at first.

GA it is, then. OMG! that is funny Sounds like something I've done. There's an SIer whose screen is my IRL nickname. Everyone refers to her by shortening her screen name and I've panicked thing they were talking to me & using my nickname, until I scrolled up and realized who they were talking to
