I bought a full set of vintage sterling flatware. It’s not something that I need, but it makes me happy to shine it up and set the places on on a fancy linen tablecloth on special occassions. The sound of the flatware as it clinks against the dishes is musical and it helps to elevate the entire experience. (It helps th

You might already know this but Debbie Reynolds was a big Hollywood memorabilia collector, she had all kinds of stuff. Later in life she was kind of wiped out financially, I think she was swindled by a husband or something, so there was an auction and she made tons. There’s a famous quote of hers that goes something

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times......jk, it was the best of times. Early last month I got to visit France for the first time for vacation (with a major reason being to see Versailles in person) and naturally my gay ass needed an appropriate outfit fit for a King (or Queen, I’m definitely a Queen on

Hahaha, I just bought a 3 bedroom rambler with a two car ATTACHED garage, large kitchen, & finished basement. As a single person. *internet high-five*

This Chanel bag is literally the highlight of my life and not for a moment do I regret spending a cool $5,500 on it. 

After my granFanda died, I discovered she had snuck little bits of money into money markets, CD’s and savings accounts in my name since my birth. I was notified of this by her sister via a post card with my first clue (because she made it a treasure hunt). All told she left me 24k. The knowledge of that money, of the

Um, no?

Greenhouse also almost made the list. Great bargain gin.

I’ve seen lots of Cutwater but not that one.

I guess I’m just #blessed to live in our modern beer era. I’m glad your partner has finally seen the light!

I’m 30, so lined beer cans have existed for my entire life, well before I was legally able to drink. I’m calling the reputation “unwarranted” because Americans have had three decades to learn that cans are just as effective a package as bottles.

Is there anything worse than thinking it’s a screw cap when it’s not?

THIS. I believe you hit the nail on the head for this issue at most restaurants. “Your seating request doesn’t fit into our fucked up server fairness system so it is denied. The customer is always wrong.”

Cuz that table you want is in Carla’s section and Carla’s on a smoke break, but if Carla comes back and finds Denise waiting on a table in her section there’s gonna be a murder. 

This person sounds delightful, especially when they take the time to drag their brothers despite it not being at all relevant to the story in question.

I do the discrete thing after security before boarding. This was after my first time trying to do the tiny bottles on the plane ended with the person next to me catching me bring out my liquids bag and getting angry that I wouldn’t share (he was a bro already drunk from the airport bar, and we were leaving vegas).

If you ever see Balcones Baby Blue (Waco, TX), I suggest getting a bottle ($35). It is a blue corn whiskey and reminded me of a buttery popcorn. Very interesting and well priced if nothing else.

I drink the most Bulleit Rye. Usually about $40 for 1.75L at Safeway. Very difficult to beat the price.

So my go-to is Four Roses Single Barrel (not Four Roses. Or Four Roses Small Batch). I find for the price, it’s one of the better bourbons out there.
