3L Soldier Wine Bottle

Oh I am deeply jealous of you - this bottle is really great and I believe it is really old... have you ever done a research if there is any bottle similar to this one or if it might be quite valuable? Sure you do not need to sell it since it was a gift from your girlfriend but I just meant for...

Who likes dark roasted peanuts?

Never tried that, but I like dark roasted coffee and dark roasted onions, so maybe they will be good. My last girlfriend was kind of dark and roasty, too, and she roasted my heart to a crisp, but I guess I shouldn't hold that against the peanuts, seeing as how they really had nothing to do with...

God is about to send us a reminder as to who is really in control.

A hurricane is definitely nothing to take lightly! I grew up in Texas and went to college in Florida so we had to worry about it. I still remember being six years old in Houston when a hurricane came through. It had lost a lot of its force by then -- Galveston got hit bad but Houston is further...

I missed the earthquake today...

Living in California, I have slept through, dozed through, been distracted during, made love in the middle of, and otherwise cruised on my oblivious way through more earthquakes than I have any idea. Unless you happened to be close to the epicenter, it's likely you wouldn't even notice a quake...

Bottle experts - I need your help!

That is a cool looking bottle and learning about old glass is the main reason I'm here. I saw an old advertisement from the Southern Glass Co. a while back; apparently they were an important company in the late 19th century in Kentucky. Here's a link to a PDF with info on them including some...

Dilema - keep or recycle?

I think I'd keep that but not for a major collection or anything. If you have some use for it where its flaws will actually improve matters, like in a garden as suggested above, that would make it worthwhile. It's something you don't see on the market anymore at least. If you find another one in...

WHO WAS IN A PRIVY DURING THE EARTHQUAKE?!?!?

Even a relatively mild quake like that one can be dangerous if you're near the epicenter and, say, underneath a building that happens to fall on you. And like you said, Caldigr2, we get earthquakes out here all the time and so we build with quakes in mind, which cuts the damage. Think what would...
