Check the ratings at coffeegeek.com on the various options.

The problem is that there are too many options! And then everything depends on the model, which often isn't available anymore. It's maddening.

My big problem is that I'd like to offer 1 nicer machine, but I know that if we do, others on my team will not want to have a truly random drawing, which I think is completely unethical.

I think I'm going to suggest the De Longhi that Nicole linked to because that comes up a lot as the best budget machine and it's an Italian brand.

“Not dead yet!”

That's what mine says, Barb. Also, most publishers (of fiction) use M-W for house style, so you might want to pick one up.

I could have sworn I had one, but all I could find was the American Heritage. I'm thinking I'll definitely go pick one up in the next couple of days. Thank you, dear!

Because books.

I just realized mine is ... from ninth grade. I won it for some essay. Oops. And yet e-mail is in there! Wow.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Interesting to hear all the scar/injury stories. I don't have anything dramatic - mostly the dings from day to day living.

Although Hil's shock from alfredo sauce had potential - I was envisioning something involving a dish of electric eels, which led to her becoming vegan. This may be the first time my imagination's been more interesting than reality.

That's because ninth grade wasn't that long ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay Allyson!!

The status is NOT quo.

Allyson, that's wonderful news. Congrats!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
