“One reason I don’t drink is that I want to know when I’m having a good time.”   —   Nancy Astor

(Too many teetotalers refuse to acknowledge that many many people are fully capable of drinking in moderation, and do not, as a rule, drink to obliteration.  I’d be willing to bet that a good number of the teetotalers are control freaks.  To each their own.  It seems that Ms. Astor has been our only quotable Nancy to date, since I’ve been posting these spoilers that is.  How about spreading the wealth a little!  Try Nancy:  Sinatra, Reagan, Pelosi, Wilson, O’Dell, Walker, Lopez, Lieberman, Culp, or Giles, etc.  I’m relatively sure that some of these ladies have said something fairly memorable.  Especially Giles!  She’s a hoot, and very bright.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Some people confuse drinking with . . . being drunk.  Obviously, one can lead to the other, but it’s hardly a foregone conclusion.  It’s called: drinking in moderation.  Maybe she couldn’t handle her liquor, or maybe she had been victimized by an alcoholic.  But, she was both a remarkable and striking woman.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
