So I went through a break-up a few months ago and moved into a new house, basically starting over like I was 18 again in the "stuff" category. After getting the bare minimums for furniture & stuff, I still have expensive trips to the grocery store basically everytime I want to make something. e.g. Want to make mac & cheese (homemade of course, that boxed stuff is NOT mac & cheese)...oh wait, I'll need a colander and a cheese grater. Want to make chicken cacciatore...oh wait, I'll need a 13x9 and a whole bunch of spices. Two weeks ago I stopped & bought a can of corned beef hash on my way home to eat before going to bed, only to realize when I got home that I hadn't yet bought a can opener. Well last week I got a coffee maker, and this morning I went down to Starbucks and got a pound of Gold Coast. The gal working there asked me if I wanted her to grind it, at which point I realized I was going to need a grinder too. So $32 later, after spending 2 months in this house, I finally have the smell of freshly ground, fresh brewed coffee wafting through it.

It depends on what you mean by "forgive", what the particular offense was, and my relationship with the person who committed it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

1 - Lose 20 pounds (minimum...I could stand to lose 40 ) 2 - Do better at work (less surfing on dz.com ) 3 - Spend my money a little more wisely (only a little though ). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

C) All of the above. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Forgot to mention in my other reply, Rombauer chardonnay. While there are some better domestic chards every year, there's nothing as consistently good, especially in the $25 range. I'm having a glass of it right now.

I watched it last night and really liked it. Some of the lines had me laughing out loud (e.g. "pun intended?"), yet the serious note was intriguing as well. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Hehehe... and I will be SLOWLY enjoying mine when all of yours will already be gone... and one more ! Rosa's & Remi's are shipped, with her's scheduled for delivery tomorrow morning and his tomorrow afternoon. Your's on the other hand is waiting nervously in my fridge incessantly recalculating the odds of it surviving a week there without me eating it. Long odds indeed.

Livendie??! How's that shirt go? "I'm not afraid to die, it's just that death lasts so long and I'm not ready for that kind of committment" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Aren't you still on the other side of the lake? You'll have to wait another week. "no soup for you!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm headed down to UPS to ship a couple of packages. One of them needs to make it to Eloy but I can't find an address anywhere on the web page. Anyone got it? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm definitely a wine geek. The questions are a bit tough to answer because it depends on my mood and/or the food pairing, as well as what price range we're talking about. Generally speaking, I'd say my favorite all-purpose affordable red is Vina Lanciano Reserva (rioja) and my favorite all-purpose white is Cononudrum (formerly of Caymus Vineyards). Graham's 20-year tawny port goes well with after-dinner fare or a good cigar, and Kestrel's 1998 chardonnay ice-wine is always good when I want over-the-top sweet.

That's a personal attack. I've banned you from Speaker's Corner. Just out of curiousity (so I can avoid similar shunning), how do you figure? Ron asked what the roman numerals I through X might represent other than the 10 commandments. Kallend's response could either be construed as "toes" or "the numbers 1-10", neither of which come across as an attack on Ron or anyone else. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I made my gift in Peppermint's name, so that she can take advantage of this part of the offer. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

My girlfriend and I built a house a couple years ago, but we split up a few months ago and I'm now renting a house. I'm considering buying something cheap so that I don't eat as much in closing costs if I decide to move out of the area in the next couple of years. But, I'm also thinking of holding off. The question I have is which will end first...the seller's market I currently live in or the low interest rates. I'm hoping the answer to that question will become more apparent in the next 6-9 months. To echo the response someone else made, I'm pretty concerned about all the young homebuyers I've seen in the last couple years. It seems pretty common that they are buying more house than they can afford by doing the double-loan thing to cover the down. When those ARMs come knocking there's going to be a glut of relatively new homes on the market coming from seller's who have no substantial wiggle room due to a lack of equity. I predict dramatic increases in foreclosures in the next 5 years or so. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

No. It's probably a scam. I only pay beggars in what they claim to need. If they claim to be hungry and really are they'll take the food; if they're professional beggars they won't. If I believed the story I'd offer to stop by the nearest pharmacy for formula or call a cab and pay for the ride up front. Ditto, provided they're polite. I've been known to have lunch with a stranger here & there, my treat, but I never give cash to strangers...not even a dime. Blues, dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

LOL - I Watched Napoleon Dynamite with another skydiver last night. We both agreed that it was almost as bad as Anchorman. I also voiced a concern about the direction of comedies these days, based specifically on these two films. I thought they both sucked out loud. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

mmmm....short women rock!

I'm drinkin' tonight...I'll say something obnoxious for you in the pub. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Of course they have. Please tell me what Iraq did to us that was on par with Pearl Harbor. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
