Solar Return with Gemini Rising and No Senior Discount!!!!!!

So............. Thursday was my 55th Solar Return (Birthday in Layman's Terms) - It started out like most of my birthdays in the past years. I went to work. The previous day was a setback but Thursday was much much better.

I often find myself rescuing bottles of wine rolling along on the escalator belt toward the Cash Register. Those bottles have a tendency to roll right off the belt and onto the floor. Smashed bottles and the aroma of Wine filling up the store would NOT be a good thing.

I am a long term teetotaler 12 Stepping non-practicing Alkie. I was taught that we don't have to shield ourselves from Alcohol if we have a legitimate reason be near it. I prefer not to be around it most of the time. It's just not apart of my lifestyle. I was taught that we would eventually recoil from it like poison. I could care less about beer. Hard Liqueur is Yuck! I remember drinking Vodka string out of the bottle and hugging the porcelain throne.

Beer is usually at the bottom of the cart so I scan it quickly so I don't have to look at the obnoxious stuff. Wine is a different story.

When I carefully place the wine in the cart. I tell the customer that we have to take care of the precious cargo. Wine bottles are pretty. They bring images of sophistication and class. Moderate Wine Drinking is actually Healthy for Normies. But Alas, Star is NOT a Normie. Life on Life's Terms.

I drove home from work - pleased that my Cash Register balanced out. I was pondering on if I should stop and buy some lime juice for cooking dinner tonight. The Heck with It, I don't feel like stopping at the store. I'm going Home.

I get a great big happy birthday hug from Mr. Gemini Rising and the suggestion that we go out to dinner.

Wow! This is a change from the usual. We were driving to the Restaurant - I got a phone message from my friend Jan who wanted me to Speak at a 12 Step Meeting in West Virginia. Next I get a call from my girlfriend Joannie in West Virginia. I shared with Joannie about my thought about all that fine wine at Sam's Club. "Dang, I can't drink that stuff." Joannie replies, "Sure you can, so can I - we just choose not to."

Pomegranate Juice looks just as pretty in a glass and is just as healthy minus the alcohol.

Dinner was a buffet which can be dangerous to my waistline. I behaved myself and loaded the plate with Veggies. Indeed, we can make healthy choices.

Mr. Gemini Rising presented me with a pretty pink bag with PRESENTS!!! Wow! Priscilla McCall's Lingerie Gifts where Fun and Fantasy Meet. A Black Amethyst Scented Candle. Strawberry Flavored SEX Fifth Avenue - The Millionaire's Sex Formula - A Silky Body Cream that enhances sensuality while it delights the taste. The Pleasure Comapy Sex Rocks Candy designed to thrill your partner to new heights of sensual pleasure. Also there was a present that goes "BUZZ" in the night.

The Waiter asked if either of us were Seniors. Mr. Gemini Rising asked, "What's Senior?" 60 or older is Senior. Nope, we are not senior at the Sizzlin Skillet even if we did meet on SSF. Who needs wine when I can have.........
