Appears my reply - which definitely posted - has left the building; so to speak.

I sent you a TUIT - both sides along with commentary. Lost, lost, lost . . .
I would try again - but am on my MacBook which does not have the memory of images previously sent - and - I am outta gas right now!

Oh well - win some, lose some, others are rained out!

Technology is great... when it works!

 

[Smudge617]

Exactly!

As Whiskey originated in Scotland, you've just been spelling it wrong for years.

 

[Smudge617]

And my 2-cents: Who gives a Rat's Patoot about spelling whilst drinking?

Tom in Missouri

Probably whoever's paying the bill.

 

[siberianmo]

Probably whoever's paying the bill.

In that case - "I before e except after h."

"Katy bar the door" it's on now! This is going to be bigger than the chili debate!

Speak for yourself

Scotland, Wales, England, India, Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, Australia and Canada use ‘whisky’, whereas Ireland and the USA use ‘whiskey’

It seems you're in the minority with that one.

I shall not argue. Just having a glass of Scotch.

Its not quite so simple. This article shows some US makers use without "e" and I read another article somewhere on some otehr countries that had variations.

What's the Difference Between Whiskey and Whisky?

Whiskey is a spirit that’s produced from a distilled mash of fermented grains and then aged in wood. It represents the entire category under which reside specific types of whisk(e)y: Scotch, Bourbon, Irish whiskey, Japanese whisky, and more.

Glenfiddich, Singleton, Oban. Nope. Not been spelling them wrong.

 

[NorthBrit]

Good evening all. Tomorrow is a 'crunch day'. We need to be really positive. Taking Dawn to hospital for tests. Hoping for an 'all clear'.

 

[PRR Modeler]

David- Prayers and well wishes.

 

[Patrick]

Yes I do need the time off, just don't want to think about what happens when I get back.

TomO: I'm a little old to retire at 62, however the 65 number is sounding better, although full SS is still 4 years out.

 

[Bruette]

I prefer Irish Poitin. When I can find it.

Unfortunately it hardly ever works right!

It been a while since we have had a good food and drink dust-up.

 

[bnsf971]

Glenfiddich, Singleton, Oban. Nope. Not been spelling them wrong.

You spelled "Glenlivet" and "Cutty Sark" wrong...

 

[migalyto]

Probably whoever's paying the bill.

And for today it’s Patrick.
So drink and be merry fellas

Hungarians refer to beer as liquid bread. I suspect other cultures do too.

In Gaelic (Uisce Beatha from Old Irish) Whiskey means "the water of life" and its Whiskey, not Whisky!

Polish also love their liquid bread, cheers

Well, howdy there whisk(e)y drinking peeps.

It's troy again

I got one of three things accomplished today. Two others in process.

One would be finished except, when filling out King Chuck's tax-man forms (I'm in the US, but have to pay taxes to HMRC if I sell ebooks in country) I discovered a tricksy question... No, not what does the hobbits have in its pocket...

So I had to email the service that takes care of my international taxes for the EU and UK to get an answer. They're in the Netherlands, so I won't expect an answer until about 4 am US-Eastern time.

After that I can email the British tax folks with their questionnaire and supporting documents.

Wife made a bit in the stocks and options market today, so she wanted Ice Cream with dinner. We went to culvers. I wasn't going to argue.

And, I did get registered for the author conference down in Tampa.

What happens at the conference stays at the conference...

 

[KriegslokBR52]

And yes, I don't drink alcohol,

Me neither, that stuff is bad for you. I just stick with Whisky, beer and once in a while cocktail

I thought it was Ireland.
