My wife will be coming home with a device to wrap her knees that has
ice water flowing through it. She told me that we may need more ice
than I can make with my four ice cube trays so I searched for a small
ice maker. Amazon sells several countertop icemakers but after
reading the reviews most said those machines don't last more than a
few months, and the ice bin is not refrigerated, the cubes melt and
that water is constantly recycled. Mold forms in that bin and needs
constant cleaning. also the cubes are tiny with holes through them so
they melt rapidly. I'd not want to use them for beverages as they'd
water the drink down quickly. Since we won't be ingesting the ice
used for that knee cooling device it would be fine if the cubes were
full size. After asking questions I learned that the device doesn't
use much ice so I decided I will buy a couple more ice cube trays and
make the extra ice cubes myself, and if we need more I will buy some
bag ice from the local convenience store. I really don't like ice
machine ice, it always simparts a foul odor/flavor, ruins the
drinks... those who don't notice are obviously afflicted with TIAD.
Even the bag ice from convenience stores is funny ice, it's made with
poor quality water, only benefit is it's crystal clear so looks nioce
but still imparts a raunchy taste/odor to drinks. Once one gets used
to cubes made from RO water in trays they will never go back...
they'll never drink bottled water again either, bottled water is
ordinary tap water, unfiltered, only from someone elses tap, probably
from a gas station hose bib. Reverse Osmosis filters cost very
little, a lot less than buying bottled water. RO filters produce the
purest water for 5¢/gallon.
I don't undeerstand people boasting about buying top shelf booze and
then polluting it with ice from a refrigerator ice maker... even more
horrendous are those name droppers who buy expensive coffees and teas
and then brew them with their fercocktah tap water. The worst filters
are those element filters, they are essentially aquarium filters, that
load up quickly with schmutz, bacteria, and stench... and then adding
insult to injury no one replaces them regularly.
Next you patronize a fancy schmancy eatery and order a 2ni made with
top shelf watch the barkeep eF it up with ice from the filthy ice
machine.
I've learned long ago not to order drinks made with top shelf when I'm
out, it's much smarter to pay those bucks for booze I drink at home.

What I said is that I don't drink much nowadays due to the meds I
take... pay attention. However up until a few years ago I did drink
more often. You need to learn not to editorialize peoples words to
suit your needs, I've noticed you do that a lot and while not quoting
what you're refering to. You'd have exhibited much less of your
alhiemers affliction had you mentioned that I said I no longer eat
out... I've stopped eating at restaurants more than five years ago....
restaurant food and service had degraded beyond what I considered
acceptible.

Sure, as you wish.

You WANT the actual quote now?

I do recall your stating as much, yes.

And?

Don't you think that reflects more on your local environs than the
industry as a whole?

let's face it, the least coast is a nasty back-biters infestation of
fast-talking shysters who will **** each other over for a nickel, let
alone a subway token.

Your entire side of the nation has gone at least partly feral in a
humane sense, and frankly it has been decades in the making - a corrupt
culture of "me firsters" suffused with a pronounced tendency to grip all
the way to the grave.

You'd be hard-pressed to find more aggressive, less mannerly, more
exhibitionist shitbags on the face of the planet.

Just sayin'...

I've lived on both coasts and traveled all over the middle.
Restaurants were once far better, now ALL are disgusting rip offs.
Stupidmarket delis serve better viands, and with a smile.
As to unmannerly clods, they're rife in ALL urban locations. I find
the majority of folks more mannerly in rural locations, it's a well
proven fact that crowding causes aqgression. However, as to food, the
majority of rural locals are afflicted with majorTIAD. Older
residents from major urban areas remember good food/dining, but are
very willing to forego those pleasures for a far more laid back life
style. I often have to remind my neighbors that the big cities no
longer have those foods they remember from their youth, and they need
to learn how to cook. I find it strange that as time passes, for most
people fast food becomes the benchmark of gourmet. I'm always amazed
at how many think breakfast at Pancake Cottage, IHOP, and eateries of
that ilk are better than mom's cooking. I'll be perfectly honest,
I've enjoyed good coffee all my life, however I've never yet been
served a decent cuppa at any eatery, not anywhere on the planet...
pishvasser. And I'm amazed at how many gladly wait in line to pay the
price of a double top shelf booze for pishvasser, in a friggin' paper
cup!
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . . shmucks.

That's nice.

Nope.

Yep.

But much more so back east.

Always!

Yep.

And restaurant choices to shudder at.

I believe you.

Wow, I have had a great many, you must not have much luck picking your
eateries.

I'd mention Dunkin's coffee, but some folks find it way too bitter.
