LOL Azriel

The mere idea of mixing is sacrilege. Pamy's solution is very workable though. ;)

LOL...Cutty Sark goes into the Chevas...I don't have a problem with that! I can't stand Scotch... <which is why I probably spelled cutty sark incorrectly>

nope, they get pot-luck since I don't drink anyway.

Nah, I would just serve the good first and if the liquor pigs wanted anymore after that they probably wouldn't mind the cheap stuff anyway. I come from the beer, wine, rum and coolers crowd, so it wouldn't happen to me anyway.

Edited to say I only drink once every year or 2 and when I do I drink to get drunk and when my bottle is gone I drink anything else. Real Classy gal, that's me.

No,save the cheap stuff until later in the evening when everyone has already gotten a little lit. They won't notice or mind the difference in taste then! :)

Of course, if you are making a punch or something (which I can't imagine doing with Scotch, but that's another story), then use whatever you want because no one will be able to tell the difference. But if you are a true Scotch drinker, there are WORLDS of difference between good stuff and cheap stuff!

I'd probably just save the two bottles. I like Max's answer.

I'd hide the bottle of the cheap scotch and serve the good scotch . When the good scotch ran out, I'd sneak and pour the cheap scotch in the good scotch bottle. If anyone said anything, I'd play dumb.

No I wouldn't. Where I come from you BYOB so anyone who was getting free liquor wouldn't complain about it being cheap stuff.

Nope.

Actually, I would put out both bottles if people were getting their own drinks. Those who know Scotch would probably drink the good stuff first and know that the cheap stuff was all that was left later. If I were mixing the drinks, I would just ask tell them which brands I have and ask which they would prefer.

Good Morning and Welcome to Today's Question!

You are buying a house from an old lady. She is asking much too little. Do you tell her?

Spygirl

Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:16 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Depends.

If she is a wealthy woman I probably wouldn't. If she is a poor woman or a woman who appears to be getting taken advantage of (or showing signs of senility), I would.

This house I'm living in is about $100/month underpriced. I didn't tell my landlord. But then again...he's not a little old lady either. :)

I'd question seller.

This, kind of, happened with a friend of mine. Her mother was selling her home in South Dakota and just wanted to move. The Mom is 90. She sold her home for almost $50,000 under market value. Homes are less expensive there and this was a severe cut. She told my friend, she just wanted someone to be happy in it. The couple who bought it didn't question her.

Actually I would question the price. Doesn't matter if she's rich or not either. I'd want to know why the home was being sold below market value. I never know if there's some underlying problem that is motivating her to sell the house so desperately. Sure, it's unlawful to not disclose a serious flaw in the condition of the house. But is it unlawful to not disclose the wild parties one neighbor has every night, or the "weird old man" that peeps in the windows with his binoculars on a regular basis?

Bigd

Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 01:08 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
yes, I would question it.

Max

Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 01:33 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
yep. being the cynic i sometimes am, i'd want to know what was wrong with the place that warranted such a discount.

if a realtor was involved, i'd be particularly curious/suspicious.
