Grilled Ham and Cheese
Served on Wheat Choice of Side $7.50 Crab Cake Sandwich With Tartar Sauce, Lettuce and Tomato on a Soft Bun Choice of Side $9.75 Blue Plate Special Pear and Blue Cheese Salad Served with Grilled Chicken $9.50 As far as the Club goes, I've pretty much decided, except for an occasional meal here and there... I'll just buy a small wine rack. Something very simple, similar to this: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-654...CID=shopping15 tiny: http://tinyurl.com/n2phqye Buying a bottle of wine or two each month, it wouldn't take much to use up that assessment. I'd be stashing away wine to cook with. :) Jill |

I'd be stashing away wine to cook with. :) I don't get the association between club meals and a Kohls wine rack... I'm sure you can buy all those wines for less than half the Club price at a local package store... yeah, like you'll be stashing away all that wine for cooking. hehe |

The only association is I'd be buying wine towards the assessment and would need a way to store it. The Kohl's wine rack was merely an example I found online. I've never shopped at Khol's. It wasn't an endorsement. That one looked rather sturdy. >I'm sure you can buy all those wines for less than half the > Club price at a local package store... Package store? Wow. Sorry, no package stores around here. Yes, I could buy the wine for less. But then I'd still owe the Club money for the dining assessment.

Exactly, and let's face it, if you don't spend that assessment on something, it is money lost to you! At least this way you are seeing something for it. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

If you could afford it, it > is a nice piece of furniture and you can get plenty in it. That particular one is table height (they call a mini-bar). I only posted it for illustration purposes to show how one could be transformed into a useful piece of furniture. There are inexpensive wine racks all over the internet. IKEA has one that holds 9 bottles for $10. Put two of those together with a slab of wood or "something" on top and there ya go. -- I take life with a grain of salt, a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila |

It will look really good too:) I have this thing "Use what you got" and will always try to do that before I buy new! You know that bookcase fits, you have a space for it ... what more could you want:) I am sure you will be able to get the racks to fit. They come in all shapes and sizes.

The problem is, their "fries" are awful. Why does that not surprise me? <g> But talking about fries - I'm fairly sure (our local) McDonald's potato fries must be preserved/processed with formaldehyde - or something really close... I came to this conclusion because my son sometimes goes to one of the McDs outlets here and buys a burger and fries for lunch... And one time - when he was doing his weekly cleaning out of his car - he found a half a packet of fries he didn't finish under his seat (guess it slipped down there somehow and must have been there for at least three or four days...) Anyway, he came to show these fries to me (shaking his head in amazement) because there was no mold and/or other 'furry' stuff growing on them; in fact they didn't look (or smell) any different from when one buys them 'fresh'. I guess I'm a sucker for punishment, because I still buy and eat them sometimes myself. ;-) -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

I've bought lots of appliances at the used appliance store, never had a problem and saved a lot of dollars... why spend a $1,000+ for a brand new stove/refrigerator-freezer for a tenent when a used one at $100 works perfectly... often they work better than new because they are totally top to bottom reconditioned. My 2nd fridge-freezer that's in my basement is 17 cu ft, it's bare bones with wire shelves, no ice maker but works perfectly and has been working perfectly for the more than ten years I've had it... was delivered with a 1 year warranty on the compressor, for $100. http://www.lounsburyappliance.com/ Most small appliance stores also sell used, they recondition the ones they remove. On Lung Guyland there were several dealers who only sold used. Of course I know that Jill doesn't need a wine cooler, she drinks her vino in the rocks. hehe |

(snippety) I've bought used appliances in the past. Washers & dryers. They worked just fine. But I don't want an old refrigerator in my living room. Jill |

Modern wines at the $30 and below level (I'm guessing Dataw marks up their wine 3-4 times, which means your $60 bottle is $20 or under at the retail level) are formulated to "drink now"... so do it with impunity. -- I take life with a grain of salt, a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila |

I hear they make them with real dairy these days, but you know how hard it is to convince consumers things are different. I'm living proof that once you've lost business, it's hard to get it back. The only drinks I order at McDonald's are tap water and coffee. -- I take life with a grain of salt, a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila |

The cross pieces may be available, but you can often just get away with vertical separators and stack the bottles on on top of the other. Of course, you will still need them cut to size. Any way you can get wood cut to length to make partitions? I use an old entertainment center that used to be my son's when he was a teenager. I just added some home made partitions and it works for me, but is not visible to others so appearance is not a factor. I also bought a 36 bottle cooler when Hope Depot had them for $79 a few years back. |

I keep about 100 bottles at any time and usually buy by the case to save $$$. I also buyh from a particular winery a couple of times a year. I've I'm going to make a 100 mile round trip, I want to make it worth while with both a lunch or dinner on the waterfront as well as the winery trip. http://www.stoningtonvineyards.com/ |

I ate at McDonalds a few times when I was working on the road and realized risk of eating that food without a toilet nearby. I quickly learned to avoid them. It wasn't always possible because sometimes I was with other guys and it was the only place nearby that most wanted to go to. I keep hearing from people that McDonald's coffee is good these days. I remember it being really bad. My riding teacher used to come in with McD's coffee and said how good it was. I quit riding lessons more than 4 years ago and I still haven't gone there to try it. Once bitten twice shy. |

It may vary by region, but around here in CT they server Newman's Own, a pretty good bean. I don't drink coffee often, but this is pretty good. When my wife has to go for a blood test every couple of weeks we go to McD for breakfast after. |

Cute old video. :) Yes, I know you can have appliances painted. Some 20 years ago I had a neighbor who did that for a living. Jill |
