All right, I'll bite. What's great about it? What's it done for you that's changed things? I'm asking just because I've been suspicious. Love the list!

Mug. <a href="http://www.eshelmanpottery.com/main/catalog/covcup.html" rel="nofollow">Ever.</a> Trust me on this one, I would not steer you wrong. Retains heat like a MF, especially with the lid on. Large capacity size worthy of coffee addicts everywhere. Handle far enough away from mug not to burn you, close enough not to make it unweildy, and wide enough to allow you to grip well. Worth every expensive penny. Also makes an extraordinary tea mug. You can buy a mesh bowl that rests inside it, put loose tea in, pour in boiling water, cover and let steep--and 10 minutes later, take off the cover and it's still piping hot. Plus, it's handmade and you'd be supporting an independent artist/craftsperson. And no, I don't work for the artist. I just am in love with the product. Good coffee mugs are as hard to find as good handbags and unicorns.

Eventually, if you eat enough of them, they taste like soylent green.

hahahaha!

I like the idea of being a gardener better than the actual gardening.

I love the gardening part, then eating what I grow.

With the right partner, sex actually gets better after the 18-month mark.

I hope so too. I’m single now, at least I’ll have the 18 motnhes to look forward to again some day in the future.

In fact, if you can come to appreciate the nuances of the coffee mug, you might well unlock many hitherto unexplained mysteries of life. Cris - feel free to go on, always. I love commenters who go on more than anything. Also, keep me posted on coffee mugs in SB. Seriously. Coffee mug situation getting serious. Larry - You're right, in a way. But even as you teach, you kind of have to give encouragement. Or maybe I've been watching too much <em>Mommie Dearest</em>. Dave - Oh, it's strictly Marketplace and Personal Journal for me. Maybe a cursory glance at the front page. Although not today. Some capitalist tool nabbed my paper today. Cocksucker. Rick - You are too kind. It has NOT been 10 years, though. Not! Not! Not!

Just be sure to skip over the editorial section, it is run by the League of American Right-Wing Crazies. A question on #39. Is music played at Starbucks lame because it is lame music or because it is music that is played at Starbucks? I miss non-corporate coffee shops. I miss dirty coffeeshops where the employees wore ripped concert t-shirts of bands I had never heard of. btw, I am stealing this "100 things I learned over 2006" for my own blog.

Teach them strategy so they earn the win. If they, like my neices, simply want to win because they're poor sports... well, I'm going to exercise that "If you can't say anything good" thing I learned way back when. Of course it's your list, so I'll shaddup now. :grin: Except to say: Yes, "Damn them"... for different reasons though. I don't buy heels. (that clarification still sounds wrong on some level coming from me). Take care, and have a great new year! I take issue with number 22. Teach them strategy so they earn the win.

Can't wait to discover what I'm doing wrong.) I've enjoyed your observations and opinions and stuff all over the place. Thanks. Anyway. Although, typically, the strength in numbers things strikes me as just a fancy way of building a false consensus, there's no way around it. Sometimes I <b>want</b> to belong to a gang, even if it's just a gang of two. So: I'm on your side with the coffee mug thing. I want it holding the right volume and weighing the right weight, etc etc. A lot like a good pen. Yah, yah. A Montblanc is blah blah blah but it's like writing with a UPS truck. Your earthly description of heaven conjured up a damned good picture of heaven. Is it possible that it's perfect? Nos. 22-24 should be in some instruction manual. I might be cranky about it, but if it's in the instruction manual, if the manufacturer says it's how it works, I'll accept it all more easily. I thought several others were just gems, but it's unseemly to go on and on and on on my first commenting. uh. oh. I guess I already did it. But still. I can nip this in the bud.
