Wow! I am simply amazed. This is gonna be great!

There may be some hope in my situation. It has just been announced that the company I work for has been acquired by another company. The company I work for has been struggling financially for a while (I think, no hard evidence), so maybe with a good amount of capital we can get things moving...

Kwitcherbitchin! I haven't had a raise in 4 years :angry:

Viper will answer your questions I am sure. I use beads(65%), and love them. No muss, no fuss, just rock steady humidity control. Do a search here on CP for Viper139's posts.

Enya :laugh: No real favorites, just getting acquainted with this genre. I am quickly learning that there are as many subsets of jazz as there are of blues (or for that matter any type of music). Oh yes, this is going to be a wild ride baby!

Recipe For Christmas Rum Cake Ingredients: * 1 or 2 qts. of rum * 1 cup butter * 1/8 tsp. sugar * 2 large eggs * 1 cup dried fruit * baking powder * 1 tsp. baking soda * lemon juice * brown sugar * nuts Directions: 1. Before you start, sample the rum...

Hey! She's got my vote! I'm gonna change my party affiliation to Democrat for the primaries, then switch back after. (not like it makes a damn bit of difference being from Kansas, just simple satisfaction of having helped her along :) )

Congrats to the winner! Oh, and I take back the "bastard" part of my guess.

Hmmmm, that's only 16.50 a bottle :) a bargain! I am sure that after Uncle Sam and Kathleen Sebelius tack their fees on it will be closer to full retail though. Would be kind of cool... Now where did I lay that extra $5000???

Actually for a complete set you would need the proof coins minted in San Francisco as well. There are four US Mints operating now: Philadelphia Denver San Francisco West Point There have been several others: New Orleans Dahlonega Ga Carson City NV (Bill would appreciate the mint mark "CC")...

I looked it up, the early ones used compressed nitrogen. I was unable to find out how much thrust they would develop.

Ummm, I guess I should have said an oxygen bearing environment. Everyone knows that they stopped using 100% oxygen after the Apollo 1 disaster.

I'm gonna say zero. Because you are a greedy possesive bastard who cannot bear to part with any of them!

In the hypothetical situation described, ignition wouldn't happen. However, let's just say you did this inside the cargo bay of the shuttle with an oxygen environment. I think you would be able to have enough thrust to move. Not fast, but as long as you had the torch going you should accelerate...

Who gets the ashtray? :D

I'll dig through my change jar (2 gallon jar 1/2 full) and see what I can find. I would say 99% of what I have is from the Denver mint, and all are circulated. I never collected the State Quarters, they made sooooo many of them that unless you have one that is MS70 (perfect), they will only be...

<quote edited for brevity> I found that the Tat's really lose "it" if you smoke them in the cold. All cigars do I guess, but in my experience it totally changed the character of the cigar. Try one again during a 70 degree day. And, yea, I am biased :) I REALLY like the Tat's.

And all this time you have been masquerading as an Average Joe...

LOL!

I have an old Silex (before Proctor) coffee pot that works on a similar principal. While I prefer to use my Capresso Team maker, the old Silex does make a very fine pot of coffee. You put the grounds in the upper bowl, along with a funky glass filter. The upper bowl has a tube that reaches to...
