“DH, you doubt the dude aint going to be signed by the Yanks? if he comes to Free Agency with that production, it’s a mega 10 yr offer from Yanks that no team can match”
Guys, Minnesota will open the bank to sign him, and he will sign. No way they are letting a white, Minnesota native, Hall-of-Famer catcher go. The Minny owners have the money. They just don’t like to SPEND it (unlike George Steinbrnner). Except for cases like this. They will pay WHATEVER it takes, and Mauer will take it, ’cause he’d rather play there, where he’s from, than with the Yankees. Mark my words.
Dave, Jeter won the prize that counts. A guy can collect 15 MYP awards and it means absolutely nothing compared with even one championship. Jeter has five.
As some of you know, I “lost” a bidding war last July over a condo that I totally loved, and I have yet to find anything I like as much. After sitting on the market for months, the Seller and I were $15k apart. Out of nowhere, this 80-something Wall Street guy who had sold his Cobble Hill house appears (and, btw, whose 80-something wife just had a hip replacement so I’m not sure buying a duplex is a smart move), and the Seller tells my broker that Mr. Wall Street made an all cash offer AT the Seller’s asking price, which was almost $100k more than my highest offer. The Seller’s broker suggested I match, actually top, him (no homo) if I want the apartment, but I declined, and my broker withdrew my offer. I found out last night that the Buyer actually paid $5k less than my last offer, although he apparently paid all cash. My offer was about 60% cash, and I was pre-approved for a mortgage. Had I known, I would’ve raised my offer somewhat if only to get the buyer to take my financing/cash offer over the lower all cash offer. Clearly the Seller’s broker was trying to get me to raise my offer substantially, but it backfired, and it turns out I “lost” the bidding war over the apartment to someone who actually paid less. WTF?????
Blowfish, fear not. I had Merry Maids zoom in and clean up the mess and deoderize. Notice that faint smell of vanilla? It’s the candles they left behind the bar area.

ok so from my understanding – it’s ok to use olive oil for sauteing – which is good for veggies and something like chicken cutlets, but a no-no for things like french fries
makes sense
What kind of oil would I be
Burning the fries, that aren’t even seasoned
And you could not survive without boiling me
But if I had to live without you
What kind of oil would I be

OMG. Still standing around in XMas Rob’s mess, talking about oil?
Very hot, Dave. I think we need to start a campaign to get Mr. B to allow avatars here.

I too use a butter/olive oil mix in my cooking
It’s this one…
