Business Mixed With Friendship
April 13, 2009 by Susan Denny
Have you ever wondered what your life would be without friends?
You’d probably survive okay, but to have a true friend who you can count on when you need them can sometimes be hard to find.
My husband and I are lucky enough to have a former work colleague and his wife as great friends.
He’s a rum exporter and is bringing into Australia, some previously unknown rums from the Caribbean, Martinique and the Mascarene Islands east of Madagascar. His company is called Quittin’ Time.
He has flavoured rums and rum punches as well as some aged specialty rums.
Because of our close association, we are agents for his rums and we also sell Fun LED Glassware and in the range we have Wine/Cocktail, Margarita and Martini glasses.
The glasses are made from high quality polystyrene acrylic with a stainless steel threaded grommet, and have an “exclusive” champagne bubble design stem, which is 12mm in diameter.
Non-slip and mark resistant rubber edged plastic base, CE certified EMC compliance and “Swap-A-Top” design.
Each glass has a button underneath the base which can be pressed to change the colours to either red, blue, green, purple, aqua, yellow and pale blue and a rotation of all colours automatically.
The top of the glasses can be removed for easy washing in your dishwasher.
The button batteries are replaceable.
We also have at Fun LED Glassware Shot Glasses and as soon as you add liquid the glasses start to flash.
Each box contains 12 clear coloured LED flashing red, green and blue shot glasses 75mm height x 37mm diameter, made from high quality polystyrene acrylic. The base has a gold band.
Each glass has a non-replacable button battery.
To find out more about the rums go to www.quittintime.com.au and for pricing and ordering information on the glasses go to www.funledglassware.com
Girls Night Out!
February 27, 2009 by Susan Denny
Have you ever gone out and woken the next morning not remembering what happened the night before?
It can have some funny or dire consequences. depending on how you look at it!
Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were not far from a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn’t want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.
The next day the first woman’s husband phones the other husband and said, “These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties.”
“That’s nothing,” said the other. “Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, ‘From all of us at the Fire Station, We’ll never forget you!’”
I wonder how you’d explain that one!
What’s Xmas All About?
November 27, 2008 by Susan Denny
Xmas to me is joining the crowds to shop for gifts for the people I love, cooking a plum pudding and a Xmas cake and organizing the food for that special day. It’s about Xmas decorations, putting the tree up and singing along to Xmas carols.
It’s a day, when we as a family, all get together to eat, talk and laugh, and enjoy each other’s company. We reminisce over past years and the highs and lows of each year.
We remind ourselves that we have a great family and that they all want to share Xmas Day with us. I know of many families who are estranged from some of their family members, so I am grateful that my children and grandchildren love coming to our house.
It’s not only immediate family that we catch up with. I speak to my 3 brothers and their families, who all live some distance away from us, as well as my husband’s family. We catch up with friends we sometimes haven’t spoken to for over a year or more as well as our International friends.
So what is Xmas all about? To me it’s all about family and spending time with them, catching up with what’s been happening in their lives and making plans for the year to come. It’s also a time for reflection over the events of the past year so that we can look ahead to the New Year with anticipation.
