Kind of think the servers need some wine and perhaps a good cheese to relax a bit, don't you?



Or maybe they're relaxing too much?

Maybe you need to crack that whip!

Edimax BR-6475nD is what I got. Unfortunately it no longer seems to be in stock on newegg. I paid $75 for it, but it came with a $15 or $20 mail-in rebate. Not as cheap as I remember, either!

Never understood the mentality there. Unless you personally know said wooter, and even then, who cares. If you want a wine, bid it. If they want it, they can bid more. If it's a wooter you live close to maybe you can split, but otherwise, fair game baby.

I typically don't bid against friends/acquaintances unless it's for charity. You do whatever your little voice in your head tells you to ;)

I'm pretty much with you, unless it's a friend (not just an acquaintance), and I don't think anyone would know they were bidding against me, anyway, so I'd have no right to complain. By the same token, it's not likely they'd know I'm the one bidding against them, either.

This went over very well with a non-drinking friend at a dinner party.

Grapefruit Soda - 10 servings
3.5 cups fresh grapefruit juice
1.5 cups mint simple syrup*
5 cups sparkling water or club soda

mix juice with syrup
add 4oz of mix to 4oz sparkling water



*1 1/2 cups packed fresh mint leaves
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

boil all together until sugar melts. Simmer for 2 minutes and strain through sieve, pressing hard on solids, and cool.

Cool syrup with leaves on stove for stronger flavor.
