And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yeah, I suppose those spiffy glasses are really nice, but I'm kinda proud that since I'm well into my 70's now, I'm content imbibing from a half pint instead of the pint Mason jar that I used to use.
To Mrs. CW's amusement, I've reached the "F-it" stage of life. All the big life jobs are behind me, and I'm only working because I want to. Therefore, given the time left to me, if there's something I want but don't need, and it isn't financially dangerous, I say "F-it" and get it. I'm going to enjoy my time left with a few nice things. The kids can split the junk up when I'm gone.
@2:48, I'm currently gutting out a 55 year old Fender amp I bought last week for $800. When I'm done restoring it not only will it weigh about 95lbs but will be worth $3k. Yeah, I'm poor and weak, but unlike you I don't wear soiled thongs. @CW, a favorite saying between my wife and me, "If not now, when?"
My creation. Two ounces rye or bourbon, half oz Benedictine, half oz St. Elizabeth's Spiced Dram, and a couple of dashes of chocolate or cherry bitters, if desired. Stir, add ice, and enjoy.
My wife’s anniversary with her boy friend is coming up and she was scratching her head for a gift. He likes whiskey. A little too strong for my taste, I prefer white claws. I’ll pass these on to her.
These look nice, but I'm so content with my Libbey Duratuff Gibralter rocks glasses, I can't see getting something else. Especially since the Libbeys were frequently used in the dive bars on Justified. Classics!
There's several interesting ones on that page but man, I just can't pay that kinda coin for drinking vessels.
ReplyDeleteSo you're poor as well as weak.
