Then the 6 points I gave it probably wasn't too far out of line, at least a half-as*ed close guess.
<G> It's something that is definitely a treat, not an everyday occassion. But heck, I drink so
little now that I honestly do feel the effects after a single one. Tuck me in, put me to bed - I am
a happy camper. <G>

I'm the same way with my kids Debbie. The logic I use is if I forbid something, all they are going
to do is do it anyway and lie to me. I'd much rather at least know that the line of communication is
still open and at least know when they are doing something I don't totally agree with (yet is
somewhat normal behavior). The first thing I told each child when they hit that precarious age is: I
don't condone the behavior and it is illegal. BUT if you ever find yourself in the situation where
you DO have a drink, do not ever get in a car ... regardless as to whether you are driving or
someone else. Call home. No questions asked, no repercussions, no discussion, no lecture. This is a
freebie. I would much rather get a phone call to come rescue you, than one from the police or
morgue. So far it has appeared to work. My son has always called to tell me he is staying whereever
he is at - keys have been put away safely, and will be returned in the am. My daughter did taste the
mudslide the other night - once she knew she was not leaving the house.
I still do draw the line at allowing only my kids trying things though. My son is 19, has had
friends over and asked if they could have a beer. Nope, not unless parents are called and have given
permission - and they are turning keys over to me. I do not and will not take authority away from
another parent - even if I do know what their kids do when away from home.
Joyce
Deb in Northern California said:
I but the individual serving bottles in the 4 pack, and the kids try to get to those too. I don't
buy them very often unless we are going to a party or having friends over to drink. My kids love my
mudslides and beg for me to make them.
Yes I will admit, I am a parent that lets my kids have a taste of something, they don't have a
full drink, but I will not keep it from them, to only have them sneak around behind my back to
get drunk.

Oh dear, you live such a sheltered life. <G> They've been around for years and years - can't
remember exactly how long, but I do recall going through tons of them when I was bowling with the
*ladies* ... and haven't done that for about 4 or 5 years now. Like I said, it's a splurge for me.
I'm really not much of a drinker anymore - think I must have used up all those genes in my youth (or
wore them out). On the rare occassion that I do have a drink, it's usually just plain ol' beer - on
a horribly hot and humid summer day. This bottle of mudslides will probably still be in the fridge
next year, unless the kids make it disappear. <G>

Why, did you have one of each? (G)
dcsena said:
Ok on Dotties Weight Loss Zone here is what she says on Mudslides, and a few others..... Top 5
worst drinks:
1. Margarita in a pint glass (2 oz. tequila, 2 oz. margarita/sour mix, 1 oz. triple sec, lime
juice, 1 tsp. sugar) - 550 calories (11)
2. Mudslide (1.5 oz. coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz. Irish cream, 1.5 oz. vodka) - 417 calories (8.5)
3. Long Island Ice Tea (1 oz. vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec, 2 oz. sour mix, splash of
cola) - 380 calories (8)
4. White Russian (1.5 oz. vodka, 1.5 oz. coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz. cream) - 320 calories (6.5)
5. Piña Colada (1.5 oz. rum, 1.5 oz. coconut cream, 3 oz. pineapple juice) - 293 calories (6)
So I was right....blew the whole wad of flex points! lol

So mudslides are a bottled commercial product besides being something you can get made at a bar? I
guess you are right - sheltered life (G)
Joyce said:
Oh dear, you live such a sheltered life. <G> They've been around for years and years - can't
remember exactly how long, but I do recall going through tons of them when I was bowling with the
*ladies* ... and haven't done that for about 4 or 5 years now. Like I said, it's a splurge for me.
I'm really not much of a drinker anymore - think I must have used up all those genes in my youth
(or wore them out). On the rare occassion that I do have a drink, it's usually just plain ol' beer
- on a horribly hot and humid summer day. This bottle of mudslides will probably still be in the
fridge next year, unless the kids make it disappear. <G>
Joyce
Fred said:
Oh, yeah, no info makes it freebie - that is sweet.
You folks all know this mudslide - I'd never heard of them. Oh, well...
Joyce said:
Oh shucks, no nutritional data on liquor bottles. I guess that means it is a freebie. <G> I took
a stab in the dark at 6 points - was what I was willing to give it and it took me within a few
points of the low end of my target. Gotta use those points somewhere. Dang, should have had a
bigger glass. <G>

We must have gone to the same school of childrearing together. Sometimes you hear things you'd
rather not know, but I have a great relationship with both of my daughters. My mother is quite
envious of the closeness I share with them.
Prairie Roots
Deb in Northern California said:
I agree with you completely and do the same thing with my kids. My oldest (will be in 20 in a week)
is away at college like your son is. She was so funny last year, she called me and asked if it was
okay if she had a drink with her roommate at school. I told her it was not my decision and she knew
the consequences if she got caught drinking in her dorm room. I told her just don't drive and don't
get in the car with anyone. She ended up having one beer and regretted it, apparently she is like
me and lacks the enzyme to metabolize the alcohol and ended up in bed all weekend feeling lousy. I
think she has had only one drink since then and it did not effect her that way.
I am a firm believer of giving the kids enough rope to get out, but not enough to hang themselves.
And to never condemn them for being open and honest with me. If course the oldest is very open with
me and has told me things, I don't think a mom should really know about her teenage daughters
private behind closed door life, if you know what I mean.

Grocery store Fred, grocery store. Geeeeeeeeesh, do us women have to teach you everything? <G>
I haven't been in a *liquor* store for ages either, just dip into the liquor section of my
local grocer.
There are several different *brands* of mudslides, each tends to have their own secret formula of
ingredients. I prefer the Friday's brand - think it is just rum in the bottled/premixed version ...
as far as the alcohol anyway. Less alcohol = less points, right? <G>

Fred said:
I have not been to a state liquor store in years - the last time, as I recall, was when I was about
to remodel the kitchen and needed boxes - not kidding.

You got it Fred, it is bottled by Kahlua, they also have white Russians, black Russians and a few

Unfortunately, my son doesn't seem to have that alcohol intolerant gene in his body. <G> But he is
smart (somewhat) and remains safe, practices what he considers responsibility. He is pretty open
with me, to a point. There are some things though that a mom just doesn't need to know. <G> What I
find most amusing/interesting is how the two youngest kids protect each other. They remain closed
mouth with each others *secrets* (they are very close) until they think the other one is in danger
of doing something incredibly stupid or dangerous. A few weeks ago I was out to lunch with my son,
he told me to keep my eyes open with baby sis as one of her friends was pushing her to skip
classes with him. OK, 'nuff said, will do. Last week baby sis told me big brother was having
problems at school (no news to me) and she was really worried about him ... he isn't happy mom, he
REALLY isn't happy mom and I'm scared. OK - time for mom to act on this one and find out what the
heck is going on. Which brings us to the most recent stress and problems. BUT - once approached he
was very open, lots of tears shed, fears expressed and soul searching done. I hate to think what
may have happened had things progressed too far, or if each of the kids didn't have a little bit
of *squealer* in them. <G>

Deb in Northern California said:
I agree with you completely and do the same thing with my kids. My oldest (will be in 20 in a week)
is away at college like your son is. She was so funny last year, she called me and asked if it was
okay if she had a drink with her roommate at school. I told her it was not my decision and she knew
the consequences if she got caught drinking in her dorm room. I told her just don't drive and don't
get in the car with anyone. She ended up having one beer and regretted it, apparently she is like
me and lacks the enzyme to metabolize the alcohol and ended up in bed all weekend feeling lousy. I
think she has had only one drink since then and it did not effect her that way.
I am a firm believer of giving the kids enough rope to get out, but not enough to hang themselves.
And to never condemn them for being open and honest with me. If course the oldest is very open with
me and has told me things, I don't think a mom should really know about her teenage daughters
private behind closed door life, if you know what I mean.

When my mom was more lucid, she would tell me she was envious of my relationship with my children. I
don't know why we are closer, other than maybe my kids just don't fear me? They know there isn't
anything bad enough that they can't talk about. We *try* to avoid screaming matches, I grew up with
them and learned that they don't solve a danged thing. There are other times though, that I
sometimes wish we weren't so close. I feel every dang one of their pains worse than they do. <sigh>

I am a firm believer of giving the kids enough rope to get out, but not enough to hang themselves.
And to never condemn them for being open and honest with me. If course the oldest is very open
with me and has told me things, I don't think a mom should really know about her teenage daughters
private behind closed door life, if you know what I mean.

By george, I think you got it! Yup, can purchase in a bar or commercially. There are several
different brands commercially - different alcohol combinations, pretty close to the same flavors
though. I prefer the Fridays brand myself. Commercially is probably the better bargain. I don't know
the going rate for bar drinks, but have a feeling they are rather hefty. <G>
Joyce
Fred said:
So mudslides are a bottled commercial product besides being something you can get made at a bar? I
guess you are right - sheltered life (G)
Joyce said:
Oh dear, you live such a sheltered life. <G> They've been around for years and years - can't
remember exactly how long, but I do recall going through tons of them when I was bowling with the
*ladies* ... and haven't done that for about 4 or 5 years now. Like I said, it's a splurge for me.
I'm really not much of a drinker anymore - think I must have used up all those genes in my youth
(or wore them out). On the rare occassion that I do have a drink, it's usually just plain ol' beer
- on a horribly hot and humid summer day. This bottle of mudslides will probably still be in the
fridge next year, unless the kids make it disappear. <G>

These drinks are pretty hard to get a definite point count on, as everyone makes them differently.
The Friday's brand of mudslides that is purchased commercially only has rum and non-dairy creamer
in it - the rest is artificial flavoring ... no irish cream, no coffee liqueur - so points should
be a bit lower. On Dottie's, in the restaurant listing for TGI Fridays, it gives 6.5 points (I
think ... might be
5.5) for a 3 ounce blended mudslide. That's 3 points difference from this listing you found on the
same website!
BUT .. maybe we can look at it as liquid points - some of that point total has got to come out of us
pretty quickly - thus not counting .. right? <G>

Ok on Dotties Weight Loss Zone here is what she says on Mudslides, and a few others..... Top 5
worst drinks:
1. Margarita in a pint glass (2 oz. tequila, 2 oz. margarita/sour mix, 1 oz. triple sec, lime
juice, 1 tsp. sugar) - 550 calories (11)
2. Mudslide (1.5 oz. coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz. Irish cream, 1.5 oz. vodka) - 417 calories (8.5)
3. Long Island Ice Tea (1 oz. vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec, 2 oz. sour mix, splash of
cola) - 380 calories (8)
4. White Russian (1.5 oz. vodka, 1.5 oz. coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz. cream) - 320 calories (6.5)
5. Piña Colada (1.5 oz. rum, 1.5 oz. coconut cream, 3 oz. pineapple juice) - 293 calories (6)
So I was right....blew the whole wad of flex points! lol

I don't think the groceries in this state sell anything that contains any liquor - state monopoly.
Wine and beer, yes at the grocery but it ends there.
Joyce said:
Grocery store Fred, grocery store. Geeeeeeeeesh, do us women have to teach you everything? <G>
I haven't been in a *liquor* store for ages either, just dip into the liquor section of my
local grocer.
There are several different *brands* of mudslides, each tends to have their own secret formula of
ingredients. I prefer the Friday's brand - think it is just rum in the bottled/premixed version ...
as far as the alcohol anyway. Less alcohol = less points, right? <G>

Fred said:
I have not been to a state liquor store in years - the last time, as I recall, was when I was
about to remodel the kitchen and needed boxes - not kidding.

Exactly.

When my mom was more lucid, she would tell me she was envious of my relationship with my children.
I don't know why we are closer, other than maybe my kids just don't fear me? They know there isn't
anything bad enough that they can't talk about. We *try* to avoid screaming matches, I grew up with
them and learned that they don't solve a danged thing. There are other times though, that I
sometimes wish we weren't so close. I feel every dang one of their pains worse than they do. <sigh>

We must have gone to the same school of childrearing together. Sometimes you hear things you'd
rather not know, but I have a great relationship with both of my daughters. My mother is quite
envious of the closeness I share with them.

Deb in Northern California said:
I agree with you completely and do the same thing with my kids. My oldest (will be in 20 in a
week) is away at college like your son is. She was so funny last year, she called me and asked if
it was okay if she had a drink with her roommate at school. I told her it was not my decision and
she knew the consequences if she got caught drinking in her dorm room. I told her just don't
drive and don't get in the car with anyone. She ended up having one beer and regretted it,
apparently she is like me and lacks the enzyme to metabolize the alcohol and ended up in bed all
weekend feeling lousy. I think she has had only one drink since then and it did not effect her
that way.
I am a firm believer of giving the kids enough rope to get out, but not enough to hang
themselves. And to never condemn them for being open and honest with me. If course the oldest is
very open with me and has told me things, I don't think a mom should really know about her
teenage daughters private behind closed door life, if you know what I mean.

That's how it is here in Minnesota as well. It's not a state monoply, though. More like Norwegian
piety. The liquor stores are closed on Sunday too.

I don't think the groceries in this state sell anything that contains any liquor - state monopoly.
Wine and beer, yes at the grocery but it ends there.
Joyce said:
Grocery store Fred, grocery store. Geeeeeeeeesh, do us women have to teach you everything? <G>
I haven't been in a *liquor* store for ages either, just dip into the liquor section of my
local grocer.
There are several different *brands* of mudslides, each tends to have their own secret formula of
ingredients. I prefer the Friday's brand - think it is just rum in the bottled/premixed version
... as far as the alcohol anyway. Less alcohol = less points, right? <G>

Wow, I forgot there were places in the states that were still like that. I spent the summers of my
youth in a dry county in Missouri ... remember my folks going out to dinner and hauling their own
liquor with them. I'm not much of a drinker, and normally do prefer just the occassional glass of
wine or beer .. but it is so much more convenient to be able to pick up a needed bottle while
doing regular grocery shopping. I hate having to run all over town to accomplish things. Our
traffic stinks!

Fred said:
I don't think the groceries in this state sell anything that contains any liquor - state monopoly.
Wine and beer, yes at the grocery but it ends there.
Joyce said:
Grocery store Fred, grocery store. Geeeeeeeeesh, do us women have to teach you everything? <G>
I haven't been in a *liquor* store for ages either, just dip into the liquor section of my
local grocer.
There are several different *brands* of mudslides, each tends to have their own secret formula of
ingredients. I prefer the Friday's brand - think it is just rum in the bottled/premixed version
... as far as the alcohol anyway. Less alcohol = less points, right? <G>
Joyce
Fred said:
I have not been to a state liquor store in years - the last time, as I recall, was when I was
about to remodel the kitchen and needed boxes - not kidding.
