when i lived in grand rapids mi, a group of us girls used to go out once in a blue moon, because we all had kids & we were all broke...

so one friday nite, we got the great idea at last call, about 200 am...which is when all ideas seem great, to drive to chicago il 3 hrs away, for their last call... @ 400 am and the time difference of 1 hour means we can just make it...

we did make last call at some bar in chicago.. but then had to call all the dh & tell them we didn't have enough cash to get home... this was WAY before debit cards & none of us had a credit card...

one dh had to western union us $$ for gas to get home...and the next time the dhs all went hunting .... we had to buy them a case of beer to take along.

it was years before we girls could go out again without hearing.. "i'm not sending you $$ to get home, or for bail...."

i sure miss those young & foolish days sometimes!
