Eliz87 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 10:20 am     no that might be funky |
Lumbele | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 10:25 am     LOL Azriel The mere idea of mixing is sacrilege. Pamy's solution is very workable though. ;) |
Kstme | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 10:36 am     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> |
Bigd | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:12 am     nope, they get pot-luck since I don't drink anyway. |
Llkoolaid | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:15 am     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. |
Max | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:21 am     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! |
Twinkie | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 12:28 pm     I second Karuuna. What she said. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 01:25 pm     I'd probably just save the two bottles. I like Max's answer. |
Babyruth | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 01:50 pm     What Twinkie said. |
Whoami | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 01:52 pm     Nope. Wouldn't mix the two. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 02:05 pm     What Babyruth said. |
Zachsmom | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 02:08 pm     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. |
Lizajane | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 02:10 pm     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. |
Tess | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 04:34 pm     Nope. |
Redstar | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 06:53 pm     What Juju2bigdog said. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 07:04 pm     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. |
Karuuna | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:29 pm     Az, LOL, I'm sure it woulda scared the heck outta me too! Twinkie, Babyruth, Juju, Redstar Y'all are just the silliest, funniest, cleverest goofballs I know!  |
Heyltslori | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 08:52 am     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     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. |
Kstme | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 10:07 am     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. |
Eliz87 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 12:44 pm     no |
Whoami | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 01:03 pm     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     yes, I would question it. |
Max | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 01:33 pm     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. |
Bob2112 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 02:08 pm     <...puts binoculars away...> |
