111 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Lets hear 'em. And fyi, I dont mean to be implying that christmas is only about presents with the best/worst xmas threads. Just heard this question on the radio earlier and wanted to get your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylou Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 3 bottles of single-malt scotch. It would be a GREAT present for a Scotch drinker, but to me, Scotch tastes like you should be cleaning the floor with it. I want to like it, but I don't. Single barrel bourbon would have been a better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a GREAT present for a Scotch drinker, but to me, Scotch tastes like you should be cleaning the floor with it. I want to like it, but I don't. I don't know if it has to do with one's palate(or lack thereof), but there are definitely some alcohols that you either love or want to put in the cleaning closet. I feel that way about gin. Might as well have a glass of Pine-sol as far as my taste for it goes. Blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mneagle Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Next to Laphroaig and Ardbeg the Scotch you recieved are some of the "peatiest" of all scotches. You might see if you can trade them in for some highland scotches that are a lot less peaty than the island/coastal varieties. Glenfinich, Glenlivet and Macallan would be good bets based on your staed preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highangle Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'll raise you two 'tween kids, match the ski's - but you can't have the dog! Hmm, the taste of roasted, rotting organic matter, 16 years on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 That sucks, Muff, but don't fear that life is over or anything like that. I've had a long term arthritis thing that is likely ankalosing spondulitis though I have not been diagnosed. You can live with stuff like this and in fact many active people do.

Sherri Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Sometimes the worse part of an illness or set of symptoms is feeling like you are totally in the dark about what is going on with your own body...let alone how to begin to heal it. Now that you know what it is, you can kick it's ass! We're pulling for you, Muffy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 We're pulling for you, Muffy! We're pulling Muffy, 'cause she's one of our own and she's been a lotta fun around here. But really, we're pulling for all of us. Draw a couple of chairs together at a cc.com rope up and start talking about our health issues and we're all on the same team in short order.

sk Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 so true Mat, we all have something to face. Thank you Sherri. I really feel like i need to keep a posative attitude. it is really easy to get angry and give up. it is way too easy to just sit down and stop fighting the good fight. I need as many people on my team as i can get. i need reminders as to why i keep miving. I am still terrified... but i am also relived. the beast has a name so it can be conqured.
