The other night when we went out for thin crust, I rediscovered Amstel Light. I will never elevate my beer consumption to the lofty heights of the rest of The Box. I'm a vodka guy.

If the beer company wants to provide free beer and effectively subsidize $6.50 (I do have to buy a stamp) toward crab cakes / mussels in wine sauce ...

My,...you are a dedicated bargain-shopper -- love those rebates!!^:D

I think (at least I hope) that the kids have learned to value their privacy. When they do enter these sites they'll be a whole lot less inclined to say/post stuff that shouldn't be out in public. That's my main concern.

Glad I could help - DL has a good list of great charities but requires a minimum of 5,000 miles.

Fiancee and I both donated our US miles to Fisher House. I'm working on building AA miles for a transfer to HH.

That is the big message that is constantly being impressed on the kids -- re: college admissions, potential employers, etc.:eek:

I wrote about four different responses to this before settling on just plain "No." That sounds really creepy.

I hear it's delicious. Let me tell you -- the bacon flavored ice cream was amazing!

In months where I've computed the savings on coupons, discounts, rebates, credit card rebates, reimbursed car travel (51 cpm) in excess of operating cost, and various other activities (e.g. buying gift cards well below face value on eBay), I've come up with numbers approximately 1/3rd of my total monthly budget.

If you love bacon and you love vodka then what could be better than putting the two together?!

I noticed an interesting LinkedIn connection but I can't touch it until next week. I must remain neutral during the remaining days of the elections.
