When life gives you lemons, HOW do you make lemonade?

When life gives you lemons then it's hard to deal with all that bitterness.  And if you just have bitterness in yourself to mix in, that doesn't make up nice yummy lemonade. You gotta have some sugar in you if you're going to make lemonade out of all those lemons !!!

 

(I just thought of that)

And if you have a chip on your shoulder, that's what Spackle is for.

And if you don't like how you grew up - just be glad you didn't grow up in most places in Africa (or the world).

Nobody wants to feel like they're on the very bottom of the pile. And we aren't.
Peter Joseph Swanson May 10, 2008, 4:19pm EDT
MUAH !!!

I'm grateful that I didn't grow up in medieval England or during the Depression.
Marge H. May 10, 2008, 4:22pm EDT
I like that Peter. You've got lots of sugar in you sweetie.
Peter Joseph Swanson May 10, 2008, 4:23pm EDT
I'm glad I didn't grow up in Burma !!!

I'm glad my eyes weren't pecked out by chickens as a kid !!!
Peter Joseph Swanson May 10, 2008, 4:25pm EDT
(on the farm as a kid I bet the chickens wanted to peck my eyes out when I went into the chicken house to gather eggs)

place the suckers on the floor and jump up and down on them till theres nothing left but juice. Might be kind a messy but boy, I'd feel much better.
I'm glad I was born a woman !!

I like lemonade and life gave me plenty of opportunity to make it.
Kay M. May 10, 2008, 4:31pm EDT
I like Vivian's method. I've never tried sucker juice. Bet it's good.
If I need some sugar, why, I just come and read your posts! Love ya!
Peter Joseph Swanson May 10, 2008, 4:43pm EDT
Jumping up and down on the lemons is a great way to begin !!!

Yep - except you might slip and fall on your ass. Then you would have lemon ass.
Peter Joseph Swanson May 10, 2008, 4:49pm EDT
Better lemon ass then lemon grass (SO HOT !!!!)

ha ha

ha ha John

I just grab onto one, pucker up and suck it. Since I can't have lots of sugar, throw in plenty of Splenda.
Peter Joseph Swanson May 10, 2008, 4:57pm EDT
And then take the stuff and sell it at your lemonade stand and make a few bucks out of it all !!!
Peter Joseph Swanson May 10, 2008, 4:57pm EDT
Rob YOU are "Sugar". Yay !!!

That's real cute. A lot of truth here.
You say sugar I say Jack Daniels
Andrea "slackermom" R. May 10, 2008, 5:57pm EDT
I'm going to go out back and stomp on some lemons. Maybe then the ants will go away.
Monica H. May 10, 2008, 6:14pm EDT
I just (song) "Pour some sugar on me...........in the name of love......"

3 oz Bacardi® Limon rum
2 oz lemonade
1/2 oz lemon juice

---oh wait, that's Bacardi-ade.....
Dorothy H. May 10, 2008, 8:56pm EDT
I love lemonade!!!
Erin P. May 10, 2008, 9:46pm EDT
What about Splenda? That's faux sugar, right? Sugar substitute? So, what if we make sure we at least have some fake sugar? Does that work?
donna h. May 10, 2008, 10:36pm EDT
I love lemons!
Phyllis R. May 11, 2008, 12:42am EDT
Love lemonade with lots of sugar............I bet you do not need lots of sugar in your lemonade PJS as 'sweet' as you are!!!!
Elsie Duggan May 11, 2008, 12:55am EDT
Peter, I always love your posts, as they always leave me with a smile, I admire your mind, it just crazy enough, and there is nothing better than that. I happen to love lemonade, and I can't remember how to make it, so I now let someone else do it for me, I hope they are doing it right.
Peter C. Frank May 12, 2008, 12:00am EDT
But what if we like our lemonade not so sweet but more tart? Personally, I think the taste of fresh lemon doesn't really need much added to it in a real lemonade ... but that's just me I guess. My sweet tooth gets satiated via other means....
Peter Joseph Swanson May 12, 2008, 11:44am EDT
ha ha - okay "sweeten" it with a bit of dry white wine?
Kay & Snowy Cat May 12, 2008, 11:48am EDT
I love lemon cake, lemon meringue pie, there's lotsa stuff you can make with those lemons! Just don't squirt them in your eyes!
Peter Joseph Swanson May 12, 2008, 6:02pm EDT
yes, Kay !!!!
