Jim, I have been dispensing good advice to others all of my life, but no one ever listens to me. I once dispensed some good advice to you about how to handle Ed Gin and Associates (basically telling you to tell them to go **** themselves), but you did not listen or even want to hear it. Understand that advice is often perceived differently by the giver and the receiver. The person dispensing advice cannot expect or demand that advice be taken and acted upon. Often advice is dispensed that is not requested, required, wanted or welcome as was the particular case you cited, but I digress. It is not the dispenser of the advice but the person who acts upon the advice who is accountable and must assume responsibility for his actions. Consequently, it is not the dispenser of the advice, but rather that the one who receives advice that is solely entitled to make the determination whether that advice given is of value and should be acted upon. You still have yet to recognize that as what it is ... a given not subject to debate. However, you have got to know more about spirits than I will ever know. Hells Bells, I did not start drinking until age 65 when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at which point I said to hell with it. Why die with a perfectly good liver. Story has it that I reached for and downed my first shot of whiskey off a TV at 1years of age. I came up as fast as it went down. Still like whiskey to this day, but have taken to drinking pineapple Mojitos as of late. Always did like demon rum. What is really funny is that most folks my age simply can't drink. They have destroyed their livers from drinking over a period of many decades. I am just about the only old person I know who can still have a drink and not get deathly ill from it. So when are you going to pick up that wine and email me with your opinion. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

You needed to explain why you did not take my advice to tell Ed Gin and associates to go to hell. I think you must have been having a nervous breakdown at the time. [...] So when are you going to pick up that wine and email me with your opinion. I will get to it one of these months. I never rush at anything under the sun.
