speaking of wine......bought myself a box of cabernet yesterday........the spigot won't work.....:cry:

An inexpensive wine may turn out to be a very expensive single glass.....as the only way I'm going to be able to drink it is stab the thing with a knife over the sink to catch all the excess......:blush:

Being a Box Wine Aficionado (BWA) .. I have had this issue once .. I called the Vintner (and I use that term loosely) and they provided a coupon for a Free Box .. I then removed the bag from the box, cut a tiny piece of a corner off, carefully filled my tumbler, pinched the corner closed with one hand while inverting the bag, twisting it around and tying off with a bread tie .. the idea being, allowing as little air as possible into the bag .. reverse process to fill another tumbler .. I think it took about a week for me to tell it was getting dull .. with any wine, even a bottle that's been opened, it usually can last at least several days to a week ..

Your other option would be to invite the Upstairs Neighbors over, cut a hole and pour into pitcher(s) and Party Down .. ;) .. it is Friday, after all .. ;)

I think you know I said that facetiously ... :) ... I'll add to my tip by saying, the weight of the bag and the ability to grip that small area of plastic, may or may not be daunting .. now that I've thought about it a bit more, and if I had to do it again, I'd probably hunt down some hemostats or another clamping device of some sort and use those .. these wine bags are pretty sturdy ..

But do call the Company .. I know your transport ability likely makes it difficult to return in person unless you're around the corner from the Liquor Store .. ;) .. and raise a glass (or tumbler) .. depending on when I get back tonight, and my mood at the time, I may try to Virtually Party if any folks are around .. if so, I will have my libations at the ready .. ;)

LOL....I do happen to have several pairs of hemostats....left over from my sculpting days..:) and....if the wine proves to be problem after that attempt, well.....that honey jack is some fine stuff....;)

Uncle Willie:

Oh, avuncular one! You look exactly like my aunt Agnes who I haven't seen since first communion! I was too young to know you were cross-dressing back then! I will confess, I have no idea what anyone is talking about, but I truly am trying to learn!

But I strongly relate to your quote, "The older I get, the better I used to be." It cheered me up today. Everything here cheers me up!

I think I get it now. Please excuse me. Too many wine tastings and I am drunk! I have zero tolerance for alcohol and all I have to do is lick bottle caps to be in orbit. Someone handed me a beautiful bottle of Syrah and ominously said, "Feel better soon."
I didn't know how to take that! :)

Ode to My New Avatar

There Once Was a Man We'll Call Gary
Who Decided One Day to Be Merry
He Took Sandy's Pooch
After Consuming Much Hooch
And Turned Willie Into the Tooth Fairy

no, wait, that just did not come out right ..

An Artist That Hails From Fort Erie
One Night Was Exceedingly Weary
He Couldn't Turn In
So While Scratching His Chin

Can't .. quite .. get .. a .. last .. line .. help a Brother out .. ??

Or do a new one, you poets .. Only rule is it MUST deal with my New Avatar

He said much to his chagrin
My goodness this is quite erie.

You know, if you hang around here, I'm thinking you'll get along just fine .. the use of avuncular in a statement as well as the "bottle cap" licking admission is really a tip off .. I'm shutting up now, I promise ..

There once was a man named Willie,
Who was feeling a little bit chilly.
Gary stepped in, & so by the end,
Willy was looking quite silly!
