This gun crap isn't funny anymore.New York just laid gun owners low with no grandfathering in and confiscation is under consideration.This is the same state that won't let you buy a 32 ounce pepsi at your local McDonalds. for fear you might get fat.Fortunately Ohio has a republican majority and looks like the only gun legislation that is being looked at is allowing teachers to carry guns. That not withstanding it will not matter what the states pass.Federal laws will override it and it looks like we're heading for a gun free america long term.....If gun laws don't pass the house and senate the Vice President has outlined 19 specific gun control proposals for the Obama administration to take while bypassing Congress

The President has said he will do everything he can under executive order in relationship to guns.

Tiff are you still working on your Etsy store? In case you didn't know...International postage rates are to double Jan27th. A 1 to 2 ounce packet goes from $3.00 to $6.00...Just wanted to let you know before you post international postage prices.

Wow! That's a lot for just 1-2oz. I used to sell glass on Etsy. But they put no pipe or tobacco accessories, so I shut it down. I liked Etsy a lot. But it was a whole lot of work.

Hmmm, all my guns were lost in that tragic posse boating accident.

Yes it is.
That's CRAPTASTIC!!!
She loves it. And is not sharing. :D
It was a pleasure. I love sharing good coffee. There's just something about coffee that really satisfies me and I think I try to share that feeling. I'm so glad that you like it!!! What did the person you gifted it to say?

Now I'm going to make another pot. :laugh: Like I need it. :rolleyes:
Oh holy carp. I ship international. This is craptastic.....

One puppy? Are you keeping him?
We are down to one puppy.I feel bad for him because all of his friends are gone.He whines a little but it's not been too bad...
Our puppy room planner comes on Monday to go over plans.I'll be so glad that they have a nice place that is easily cleaned...Mr.??? will have to be the cleaner upper...and for that I am grateful...
Got it, now just stalking the UPS guy for my FP.
V, I've said this before, but I'll re-iterate because it's so important. And you probably already know. :p

With the french press you don't need as much as drip. Grind the beans as coarse as the grinder will allow. Only fill the the beans to the bottom of the handle or just a little more depending on how strong you like it. Boil water, pour in to FP, stir, put screen in just enough to submerge grinds and steep for 3-5 minutes. Slowly press it down. Fin.

Got a call from my son Nick...Looks like he's resigning from the Air Force after 10 years of service.He's working for Chase Bank now.He watches and blocks Iran,Syria,and Egyptian hackers that try to break into the U.S.banking system.He must be good at it.They gave him a raise and an office...
Jimmy resigned his Commission as a Captain in the Rangers but he still can be called back for 4 more years.They don't let Officers or Rangers off the hook so easily.He'd go back in a heart beat if he got the call.I hope it never comes.He did 2 tours in Iraq that's enough for anyone.

Godspeed to Nick. Please send him my/our gratitude for serving our country. :)

Yep. I lost mine on Costa Concordia (too soon?). We were shooting trap off the back, then we had to scuddle (spelling?) the ship.

That's awesome that she's not sharing. :laugh: Is your FP scheduled to arrive today? Is Amazon Prime that fast?

I love my French Press, just wish it kept the coffee warmer or I could just do one cup at a time. I have a great grinder, it grinds specifically for FP, just put the press in the grinder and in the coffee goes :) What type did you get V? I have a Bodin (last years Christmas gift).

Sorry about all these new gun laws. I don't own a gun, but was seriously thinking of getting one awhile back. Glad I didn't now. What does the legislation say about rifles that people use to hunt?

I bought the Bonjour. It looks just like the Bodum, but did have a better average rating on Amazon.

I don't know that one. As far as amount of grounds to put in, you'll have to experiment.

OMG, a small flat rate priority box International is going from $16.95 to $23.95. That will pretty much kill my International business. :glare:

Kinda personal question, but do you have a lot of foreign customers? Might have to stop shipping int'l.

I actaully get some work done before lunch, and you guys double international shipping rates and get guns confiscated.... I cant leave y'all alone for ten minutes, and the world implodes.

I haven't got a darn thing done today. Well, a bit. But I'm struggling to focus.

It's just like the Bodum, just a different name. Better handle according to the reviews.

Yes, we have quite a large international customer base. We are looking at alternatives for them. The increase is just too much.

This one?
Amazon.com: BonJour Polished Stainless Steel Monet French Press, Black, 3-Cup: Kitchen & Dining

If so, start with coffee half way up to bottom of handle. I can't really say how much coffee you'll need. You'll have to experiment with amount and steep time. It will be less than you think. Once you get it, there's no better coffee. Wow, I realize I'm making this sound like a mission to Mars. You know how to make coffee. :facepalm:
