    Johnny Walker Gold - A review

    I've only had the black and the gold. I actually preferred the black. The gold tasted like I was chewing on a tree. I'm curious about the blue now.

    What beer did you drink today?

    I'm having a Stone Collaboration - Kona Coffee, Macadamia, Coconut Porter. Are they still making this? I have two bottles that I bought a few months back. First time I had it this spring I didn't particularly enjoy it much. This time however, is a different story.

    Pappy Van Winkle 20 yr.old Family Reserve

    I've been going back and forth on this one. Trying to decide between the 20 yo and the 23 yo. From what I've been seeing, the 20 yo seems to be the better of the two, with the 23 yo past its prime.

    Need to Rant

    99% of the appliances out there are not made to last unfortunately. Most are made with plastic parts that break within a few years. Why make an appliance that lasts when the latest and greatest is coming out next year? Want to make sure you keep buying you know.

    Cholula hot sauce

    I use Cholula from time to time, however, my old stand by will always be tabasco. I prefer the original and the habanero flavors.

    Maker's Mark

    Ya...got a chance to stop by there yesterday. I decided not to buy it this time however. The rum kept calling me.

    What beer did you drink today?

    Pumpkin Lager from Lakefront Brewery. OK, but I wish the spice was a little more evident.

    Car Wash

    I run my Corolla through the car wash every couple weeks. Usually once a year I have the entire car gone through by the dealership...wash, wax, engine compartment cleaned, interior cleaned and carpets shampooed. I plan on keeping this car for a while so might as well keep it in good shape.

    Maker's Mark

    Total Wine has some good deals. Last time I was there, I had planned to pick up the MM 46 but they were out. Did you notice if it was back by any chance?

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    Yes, it was set up as a POP3. Can hotmail be set up as IMAP? Only reason I'm using "hotmail" is because Qwest set me up with it when I moved here. However, I'm looking to switch providers in the near future given Qwest only offers 1.5mbps in my area.

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    Perhaps my last post wasn't clear. I did back up my "important files." As far as the e-mails. They were saved on the server. When I attempted to re-load them on my computer, they did not come through. When I went to the server site, they were gone.

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    Well, I've had my XPS back for a while and Windows 7 is a huge leap from Vista. Unfortunately, the new OS and hard drive did nothing to solve my problem. I am still getting random blue screens, which is rather frustrating. I've backed up all my important files etc, unfortunately, I lost...

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    The HD was a Fujitsu. From what I understand, they transferred their HD business to Toshiba back in 2009.

    The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year~

    This sounds good. I'll have to look for this. I've been really in to rum lately and this would probably go over well.

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    Thank you to everyone that has replied. I found out today that my XPS has a bad hard drive so that is the reason I was not able to re-load Windows. So within a year, the hard drive has failed and the CD drive has failed. I'm officially done with Dell. My plan is to just get it back so I can...

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    Sorry all for the late reply... Actually the tech I took my Dell to recommended a Lenovo laptop. The tech also recommended Gateway. I remember Gateway back in the 90s, and I think they went through a rough patch too, however according to this tech, they are much better machines now. Even if I...

    cognac suggestions

    If you have a Total Wine near by, check out Maison Surrenne. TW sells some of their lower price point cognacs that are rather good.

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    Yep, I think I remember a time when Dell made a decent computer. They have been experiencing many issues as of late. Take for instance my XPS, I found out after the fact that, many people were getting blue screened because the video card was prone to overheating. Mine was doing that...

    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    Thanks for this. Yes, I think all computers will have issues...perhaps it is just all the issues in one day that kinda pushed me over the top. I am having Windows 7 installed on my XPS laptop, however, my wife has 7 on her laptop and she has issues from time to time. I don't plan to use this...
