To be a bartender will you still be able to open wine&beeretc if u do not bring bottle openers and such? Is it against health the law to bring your own tools, or is it required?
How do I figure the Mechanical Advantage of a wine bottle opener? One with the corkscrew, gears, and levers. As shown below: http://www.betterfinish.com.cn/images%5Cwine-bottle-openers%5C3.jpg http://img.alibaba.com/photo/233227916/Corkscrew_Wine_corkscrew_Wine_opener_Bottle_opener_.jpg I have tried to count the teeth of the the one I have in my hands but I can't open up to see how many or how big.
How to open a bottle of red wine? A friend recently brought red wine for dinner and since it was not yet cold, we put it in the freezer. When it was time to open the bottle with a cork screw, nobody could do it! We ended up using two can openers, a pair of scissors, a skewer and a hammer to force down the cork instead of forcing it out of the bottle. What should we have done?
Is there any other way to open a bottle of wine without a bottle opener? So I'm house sitting for my Mom today through Sunday, she's out of town with her boyfriend and I have to look after our elderly cat who requires medication 2x a day. I just got home from work, I'm exhausted, my boyfriend is at home, I'm spending this New Year's by myself and ALL I want is a glass of wine hahaha. So I'm rummaging through every damn drawer in the kitchen, couldn't find the bottle opener, broke down and called my Mom and she took it with her for their champagne. We own no other bottle openers, sadly. Is there any other way I can remove the cork????? LOL Lyla have you actually done this? Haha the kitty kitty got her meds as soon as I got home. I got it open finally, not without slight injury, though hahaha
What are you doing with all the random crap and stuff you don't want from your shower? You know, stuff that you didn't ask for and people bought.... stuff that you would never use or think is tacky? What do you do with this crap? I have a pile of it in the garage of cheap wine bottle openers, cheap barbeque tools and random junk that I don't need because I already own better. No gift reciepts... some of this stuff looks like it came from the dollar store... it was filler for gifts that I ask for... Like I wanted the cooler and then they willed it full of junk.
I need unique groomsman gifts...besides the cheesy personalized flasks, bottle openers, beer mugs..ect.? One is a gamer/sports fan/pet lover, the other is a sports/wine fan.
What do I need for a good home bar? I want to invest about $150 in barware and liquor. What would you recommend? I already have tequila, vodka, rum, and a couple bottles of wine. I don't have any barware except for plenty of glasses and bottle openers. I'd like to have some stuff the ladies would like too, but I don't know how to make many drinks. Recommendations?
Serving wine at wedding with no bartender? We are having a small wedding reception (about 50 people) and due to liquor laws cannot have a bar, but we are allowed to serve some wine. We can't really have a bartender, so how do we serve the alcohol to the guests without having to designate a friend or family member to pour? We have thought of having bottles at each table, but aren't sure how to keep these cool, organize bottle openers, etc.
GUYS: Would you like this gift from a girl you just started dating for your birthday? :)? One of the first times me and my crush ever hung out, he asked me to pop the cork on a bottle of wine, I told him that I had never done it before (hehe) and he laughed at me and then “taught me how”…I told him that I would mess it up, and…I did! ½ of the cork stayed in the wine bottle. I still tried to pour the wine and it was coming out really slowly since the cork was stuck, and I tried getting a knife to fix it…I thought it didn’t work, I then attempt to pour the wine again and it spills all over the counter! It’s his bday soon and for his gift, I thought it would be a good gift to get him one of those fancy wine bottle openers from Pottery Barn or something where it basically does it for you…he’s moving soon, so I figured that would be a useful/funny/memorable gift to get him; Also I wanted to take him out to dinner and then to a comedy club…is that good considering we’re just dating and it’s pretty new? :)
What is the legal definition of a furnished apartment in Portland, Oregon? I moved into a furnished apartment 1 week ago. In my living room, I have a couch and mismatching chair, but no coffee table/end tables. In my kitchen, I have cutting boards with no cutting knives; 4 wine bottle openers but no strainer; a cheese slicer but no toaster; 24 forks but only two bowls. There are no screens in the windows and the box spring was broken so I have been sleeping on the floor for a week. I am a graduate student that is paying a lot of money to rent this "furnished" apartment, but I feel it is inadequate. This is a student neighborhood, but the apartment does not have a study desk? What legally comes with a "furnished apartment"? How long do they have to fulfill my request? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. The landlords kept repeating "if you need anything just let us know" over and over when I first looked at the house and when I was signing the lease. But how long do they have to get me the furniture that they told me they would get? Also, there are no screens in the windows and no hot water in the bathroom sink. I'm pretty sure they need to fix those asap.
What should I ask guests to bring as gifts for a "Stock the Bar Party"? I am throwing a "Stock the Bar" party for a couple that will be getting married in May & the goal is to stock their bar for the wedding reception. We are all in the latter part of our 20's (just to give you an idea of the age range) I'm still in the very early planning stages of the party. However, I need to know what sort of gifts (besides liquor or beer) to ask the guests to bring for the couple. I'm also planning to list their favorite drinks, to make sure those supplies are covered. Is there anything else that I'm missing?

Favors, need help? I know people do not look at them so I want to sepnd as little as possible on this. What would you like the best CD's of our favorite music, candy, or bottle openers or wine? Maybe I could do a candy centerpiece?
Do I owe my mother in law an apology? On thanksgiving I went to my mother-in-law's house and brought a few bottles of wine. I asked her if she had any bottle openers and her response was: "you wino's should have brought everything you needed if you were planning on drinking wine." I brushed off her comment and went about my business. Later we were all seated in the living room getting ready to play a game of Taboo. There was a cup in front of me, and I asked my mother in law if the cup was hers or mine, She picked it up and smelled it and laughed out loud stating No...because you don't drink juice you drink wine. Then both her and her daughter start laughing all loud. I took offense to this, got up and told my husband I was ready to leave. When we made it outside my mother in law followed us and asked me why I was upset. I did lose my temper, and let her know I was tired of her nit-picking. Now days later we aren't speaking, and my husband feels I owe my mother in law an apology. He says I should have pulled her to the side instead of blowing up on her the way I did. I feel like the victim. I feel like my mother in law deliberately pushed my buttons, and now she looks like the innocent one. Do you think I owe her an apology?

Does anyone know where I can get replacement parts for my Chapman Estate Wine Bottle Opener? It's a 24" corkscrew puller. A part on the inside broke and I am trying to find where to order a replacement piece. If anyone even would know the company that makes it (It's at my father's house right now, I cannot look) I could try to search the company site if there is one. It seems to be a popular item, I've no idea why I cannot locate parts. Thanks for your time.

Plumbing: how to pull a compression sleeve and nut? I've got to replace an old valve (pre-1976) under my bathroom sink. Just my luck, they changed the threads and the old compression nut will not fit the new valve. I have the tool I need, the "compression sleeve nut puller," which slightly resembles a wine-bottle opener, with two wings that attach behind the nut, and a center crank that should pull the nut off. However, when I try to use it, the wings snap off of the nut as I turn the crank, rather than pulling the nut & sleeve off. Any ideas (besides paying a professional)?

How do you think that I did it. Correct answer gets the 10 points.. and I did not smash the bottle! ok... if I pushedit down what did I push it down with?

If not a gadget, then any other thing he might like? He's pretty tech-savvy and he's in the Navy (but hates it, so none of that).
Is it just me, or do other people miss opening bottles of wine with real corks? Opening a bottle of win is so much more then drinking its contents. I'm not going to get all snobby, but I really miss getting a corkscrew opener and opening a bottle of wine the traditional way. This ritual is somthing I increasingly miss, due to these darn screw-top wines. Its like your opening a bottle of cola or ginger ale! Wine is so much more. A bottle of wine should have a cork. What are your opinions?

Kirsten Dunst walked right into the same aisle!!! I walked up to her and asked for her autograph but then she started yelling at me. I told her that she needed to calm down! Kirsten called me a Lonney Toon and to leave her alone. I only wanted her autograph but I did manage to snap a picture as she was leaving. Here it is: http://weekendpundit.blogmosis.com/images/Dunst%20Lookalike-thumb.jpg Did I do something wrong? No, I am pretty sure that it's Kirsten Dunst! She was with John Travolta!!
