Anyone have a line on where I could get some bourbon from the Pappy/Van Winkle line?

My bourbon swilling neighbor just had a lumpectomy and is headed to chemo. She's getting inundated with pink ribbons and lasagna.

I wanted to get her something she would really like. Except the local ABC store said they have a list of 200+ and last year they only got 3 (I assume he was speaking of the top of the line "Pappy" - any in the whole line would be fine.)

Oh, hey guster. Didn't see you there.

How much are you willing to spend? The 15 yr from last year for example, which retailed at $80, sells for $600-ish on the secondary market.
Click to expand...
Yeah. Not spending $600 on her. I mean, it was just Stage I breast cancer. It'd have to be at least Stage III for that, right?

$100-$150 bucks. 12 year or 15 year.

Are you asking for a bourbon recommendation that's not Pappy for $100-150?
Click to expand...
Was asking to see if someone had a line on the 12 or 15 year Pappy for $100-$150.

Zero chance of that... unless you're sexing them. You could wait until the fall and check your locals for the 2015 release, but otherwise its all secondary market.

 
I WAS the other guy in high school once. Girl had a date lined up for homecoming, ditched him and went with me instead. The other guy has been setup with her by a mutual friend who then decided she hated both me and the girl I went with. Ended up dating the girl I went with for a year and a half.

The idea of high school me being an upgrade over anyone is still totally bizarre to me.

 
My sophomore year I went to a dance with a chick just for the free dinner. :bag:

She spent the rest of that year and the following two years grabbing my ### in the hall every chance she could. I think she got her money's worth. <_<

Sorry, 5-ish. It actually is just short-term stress.

Was actually thinking about you during all of this the last two days. "How have the kristas done this as many times as they have and not either killed people/themselves or got divorced."

I will continue to tell myself it's short-term. Hopefully, I'll start believing it. :)

Thanks for asking. Still not great, but minor steps better. My bride, at least, isn't in a ball on the floor anymore.

PMs finally called back about the litany of issues, but it was like starting from square one again. "So....explain to me exactly what's going on?" My wife kind of let her have it, in an assertive but polite way. We'll see if it helps. They've assured us we would hear back from them before EOD. We shall see. I don't get the whole "we must check with the homeowner first before we send a contractor to do a diagnostic" thing. Isn't this why you hire a management company? So you aren't bothered with stuff like this? I know it's why I hired one for my house in FL. If the unit winds up borked, sure you contact them and check with what they want to do. It's their house. But just to get an HVAC drone on the ground? Silliness.

Still no firm date on the delivery of the household goods/belongings yet, but I was promised I will know that tomorrow morning.


On the positive side, we should have our car here tonight and can turn in the rental, so that will be a little less stress. Got to go into the new office and meet my team/lead and some of the higher ups. Got see the friend who referred me for the job too, so that was cool. One of the employees heard how sucky the move had been for us so far and invited my wife and I out for drinks(which would be great, but....dog). So, not all bad today.

So, got caught up in a bad accident yesterday. Rolling in a line of cars on a divided highway and I could see ahead of me a car waiting to come out of a side road. Well, he jumped when he shouldn't have and got T-boned by a car three or four in front of me. We were all doing 55/60 mph. I wrenched the wheel to the right and towards all of the green, hit a ditch, and popped up into a corn field....as did a few vehicles behind me. None of us hit each other, which I still can't process. They had to cut the people out of the jumper's car, but one cop told me they were all alive. I broke a tie rod and had a flat tire. AAA (the auto service, not the music genre) once again paid for itself. I'm not sure if my shoulder is just sprained/strained, or if it's separated but it doesn't feel right so I'm gonna go see my doc tomorrow.

You should have a valid legal claim against the property people and I would certainly look into/threaten them with that. That's bull#### and you should be compensated, including a hotel stay until the house is "as promised."

You might go gamble a little to take your mind off... I always like Johnny Asuaga's in Sparks. THey also have a great cold seafood dish in the downstairs restaurant. A mountain of good, chilled seafood for two for about $50. Raw bar at the Peppermill is also good, but I prefer gambling at the Nugget.There's also some good Spanish food downtown.

I just checked on Priceline Express deals for Reno and they have a 3.5 star rated 7.5 in SParks for $29 and they take pets.

Life's short, don't get bogged down in the bs. Take the wife out and have some fun.

Sucks that your dog doesn't drink.

A couple weeks ago I started telling each of my boys they were my favorite son whenever the other one wasn't around. I'm not sure why, I just think it's funny.

Oh, it totally is. Don't let anyone tell you different.

He's underaged. Next year though!

why can't the dog stay home by itself?
Click to expand...
In an unfamiliar hotel room? Yeah, not doing that. He isn't destructive left alone when home....but this isn't "home" to him. Not risking that.

Mrs. 5 got a little "in your face" when the managers called back again. "Magically" the AC is being serviced tomorrow and the house is being cleaned the day after.

And you are right, I should be trying to ignore the BS. It's just this all happening at the end of a marathon drive, at the end of a sprint of setting up for the move, etc. Kinda feel like a punching bag.

Since the contractors have been scheduled to come in an make stuff right the wife has calmed a ton, which in turn has calmed the pooch. May actually get some good sleep tonight, which at this point will be huge. Maybe tomorrow night will be in line for some fun. Should have working AC by then and can leave the dog to his own devices somewhere that can't throw me out if he barks.

Moving this weekend. 24' truck towing a minivan. Through Wisconsin. Packing truck Saturday morning, unpacking Sunday afternoon. Is it legal to drink and drive in Sconny yet?
