Gotta love it when it's time for 2nd coffee. There's no lack of motivation that a 4 shot latte can't cure.

I prepared this delicacy last year for my wife's side of the family's Christmas gathering and it was a huge hit. But that's to be expected, after all what's not to love about it. How can I top that this year? Any suggestions in the realm of making something so out of control, over the top...

Just picked up a box of the latest Avo LE's as well as this year's Toast Across America set. Good stuff!

This reminds me of Damian from Grand Cayman, anyone else remember that dude?

This is excellent.

I read the book first. Super fast read, I had it finished in one plane flight and one day at home. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

If there is no longer a permit required to carry a concealed weapon, does that remove the instruction and safety aspect that comes as a result of taking the class to get your permit? While I'm all for people having the right to carry, is there a legitimate concern that if anyone (except those...

First album I owned (via gift that came with a boom box my parents got me) was Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA. But one album that comes to mind for some reason, although it definetely wasn't the first was In God We Trust, Inc. by Dead Kennedy's. Because on the way home from the mall my dad...

Is it really as brutal as the previews make it out to be?

Thanks for all the replies. We're heading out of San Francisco and probably up the PCH (is that the right acronym?) to Redwoods, then somehow back down to Yosemite. I called and it looks like they're starting to run low on the RV that would best fit our needs, so I'd better get this reserved...

True. I'll add, if we don't rent an RV, we've still got to rent a car for the 10 days to get around. That looks like it would be between $600-$800 by itself.

S&W, M&P 9mm Thanks for the contest! Will we have daily updates for who has points?

Raise your hands if you've done this? Doing a family trip out to San Francisco in June and thinking about renting an RV to drive up to Redwood National park, then back down to Yosemite. Probably 10 days total in the RV and a few days on either end in town. We've got a big race out there...

You mean to tell me the CP Investment club won't have a crack at this before it goes public? Those guys are some heavy hitters, what gives?

How are the oldest Noella Reserva's smoking right now? The original ones released back in '06? I've got a couple boxes of those I'm still sitting on, they were real good back then.

I like your countertops. Nice find on the machine too.

Yes, definetely a loss here.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner! :thumbs:

Regarding adjoining rooms, on our last cruise with the kids (much younger than yours) I found it way less expensive to book two side by side rooms with a door adjoining them than to book one larger suite that would fit all of us. That way it gave both the kids and ourselves a little privacy and...
