Greetings, Pip! I guess it's true that I have become a bit world-weary...I certainly see enough of the worst that humanity can bear at work...ugh. Still, I believe in hope, and I hope for the best. I only wish people would stop being, well, people. :p And I hope that 2010 is treating you well thus far and that this will be your best year evar! *hugs*
I've never developed a palate for wine, sadly, which is probably a good thing as a proper vintage is pricey. Sorry, but I'm not drinking anything decanted from a box or a bottle with a screw-on lid! Back in the day when I had a real problem, hard spirits were my quaff of choice. Yes, Guiness is stout and yes, it can be bought here...but I want it closer to the source as I am sure it loses something in translation! There are places here that serve it draught and it *is* better than what's bottled...still... And it's probably a *very* good thing that I can't get my paws on absinthe! (Or real ouzo, for that matter.)

Look to the left side of this page - if you click on that blue lettering it opens up a direct email link to the moderators! I usually give them the URL of the copy as well as a link to the original; it saves them some time, and they get thousands of emails... Ta-DAH! (Just doing my part to make cheezland a happier place!)
It was wonderful to hear from you...not so wonderful to read your sad news. Honey, I am so sorry for your loss; what a difficult thing to overcome. Little wonder you've been scarce, then. *hugs* As for yellow...the shade I use is simply more eyecatching, I think, and I've certainly not got a trademark on it - use it if it works! And I envy you the daffodils. :o) *more hugs*
