4654. judithathome - 6/12/2011 4:29:21 PM Oh Arks! Was it one of the dresses we tried on in Hot Springs?
It may be too late but if you have any Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner IN A CAN...not the pump spray stuff...it will take the wine stains out ASAP. When you spray it on, the wine turns dark blue and you think you're ruined but it washes right out. 4655. arkymalarky - 6/12/2011 4:46:09 PM Thanks Judith! I can't remember where I got it, but it was on a good sale. iit came out with oxyclean spray. It's just irritating that i can't wear something like that and eat or drink anything. 4656. judithathome - 6/12/2011 7:06:17 PM Get used to it...the older you get, the more it happens.
I breathe a sigh of relief at every dinner when the first glop falls...like "Whew...got THAT outta the way!" 4657. alistairConnor - 6/30/2011 11:25:47 AM aaarhgh you just ruined my mental image of both of you gals... you're slobs like me??? Nooooo! 4658. arkymalarky - 6/30/2011 4:14:13 PM judith isn't. i'm a queen of slobs. allways have been, since preschool. 4659. arkymalarky - 6/30/2011 4:14:31 PM judith isn't. i'm a queen of slobs. allways have been, since preschool. 4660. Ms. No - 7/1/2011 10:20:11 PM That's why I tend to low necklines. I can just drop stuff into my cleavage and nobody ever notices. 4661. arkymalarky - 7/2/2011 12:28:34 AM haha! 4662. Jenerator - 1/25/2012 8:43:15 PM I had a bottle of Silver Oak's 1988 Cabernet last night. It's the first expensive wine I have had that had essentially matured past its prime.
My favorite these days has been chianti. 4663. judithathome - 1/25/2012 8:52:40 PM You can get really good Chianti cheaply...you can also pay dearly for it but that would be throwing money away.
I'm talking GOOD Chianti for under $12...there really should be no snobbery in Chianti...ha! 4664. Jenerator - 1/26/2012 12:07:01 AM I haven't had a good Chianti for $12 - give me some suggestions.
Gabbiano's cheaper label chianti is not good.
My favorite is vigna vecchia 2007 classico chianti reserva:
It's about $27 a bottle. Love it. 4665. arkymalarky - 1/26/2012 1:39:21 AM There's good chianti? 4666. arkymalarky - 1/26/2012 1:40:55 AM Ha! Nvm. I was thinking chardonnay. Never liked it. 4667. judithathome - 1/26/2012 7:50:19 PM Arrrgh...you got part of the DEVIL number! 4668. Jenerator - 1/27/2012 10:54:56 PM What are the cheap but good chiantis?
---------------
Arky - an excellent chardonnay is Far Niente's 2009 vintage. It's so buttery and complex. 4669. arkymalarky - 1/28/2012 3:27:52 AM Thanks. I may look for it when I have company sometime. That way it'll still disappear if I don't like it! 4670. thoughtful - 2/27/2012 4:20:32 PM Concerned,
I wanted to thank you for your recommendation of Econar Geothermal. We did put one in and we are very happy with it. We have gone through 2 winters with it and never had to go to emergency heat. It maintains the temperature in winter very well. And it does a fabulous job of cooling the home....though we only put the AC on if it gets to be about 90. (The casement windows act like fins on the house and the breezes we get through the place keep it quite comfortable most of the summer.)
Last year, our total energy bill in the new house was 43% lower than it was at the old house, despite the fact that last winter was very cold and the solar panels were covered with 36" of snow for a month, we didn't burn a lot of wood as we couldn't get at it, and the new house nearly twice the size of the old one for conditioned space.
This year, with the very mild winter, I believe our total energy costs will be below our telecomm costs (cable, internet, phone...). Just amazing.
I trust your system is working well also. 4671. Jenerator - 3/1/2012 11:45:51 PM I leave for Italy in 10 days. I'm pretty excited as I have been able to plan and budget for some cool extravagances. I will be partaking in a private tour of the Sistine Chapel. I will be touring the Vasari Corridor. I'm taking a cooking class in Tuscany. I splurged and bought a wine suitcase.
I may never come back! 4672. judithathome - 3/1/2012 11:50:11 PM Trust me, you won't want to, that's for SURE.
Have a wonderful time...which even without those super cool extras, you definitely will!
(Best place to buy leathergoods is in Florence.) 4673. vonKreedon - 3/2/2012 12:27:01 AM Oh, I am envious Jen. What's the Vasari Corridor? Where are you staying in Tuscany? Post pictures!
Oh, and have a bunch of fun.
