My husband keeps a variety of high end whiskeys on hand. From all over the world. I would have zero alcohol if I lived alone. Not really into it.

New Amsterdam Gin for me for the win.....mixes well with tonic and is often on deep discount all over town. Barring that......a Mexican tequila...

Interesting.....I was thinking along the same lines.......Rob

I still open my door, I probably should be more careful. Once a man who appeared disheveled and confused asked “what year is it?” I answered him. He...

You and me both. This just gets worse day by day. Rob

I bought a Speedo recently as a present for DH - from Australia, as this one seller in Melbourne had the one that I was looking for that is now no...

At least if The Orange Moron signs it, there won't be collateral damage afresh. I don't care if he lies, I just care about aviation safety and the...

When I interview nurses, it doesn’t bother me if they mention that they don’t like the negative culture at their prior job. What I don’t like is if...

I’ve worked my way through about 7 offices during my career that were in a similar state of disarray. It took 1-2 years each, but I left each one as...

IL....I once felt this way for a brief period of time, when things seemed irreparably beyond hope in my life. I'm not saying you are in such a...

Now this I wholeheartedly agree with! As much as I have issues with US CBP, I fully support that part of their mission which is to intercept...

Plus whatever number the national debt stands at the second I post this. What, something around 20 trillion? Rob
