the punts are put in the bottles to reinforce the strength of the glass

10:41 am

crosshair

the punts are there so you can whack people over the head with punts:)

10:41 am

I never heard that before Ruru.

10:41 am

it was created so that champagne could be made

10:42 am

I always heard Dom Perignon invented them to turn the bottles.

10:42 am

rururocks

no so that the bottles woudn't explode.. the grooves in the champagne bottles are useful for rotating them

10:43 am

crosshair

there it is

10:43 am

doseffing

... I wonder if the glass blowing process has something to do with it ... you've got to rotate the bottle to get a symetric shape

10:43 am

hego

no, it has to to with precipitating out the sediment.

10:44 am

crosshair

here you go,everything you wish to know on punts....

10:44 am

crosshair

A punt, also known as a kick-up, refers to the dimple at the bottom of a wine bottle. There is no consensus explanation for its purpose. The more commonly cited explanations include:[1]
It is a historical remnant from the era when wine bottles were free blown using a blowpipe and pontil. This technique leaves a punt mark on the base of the bottle; by indenting the point where the pontil is attached, this scar would not scratch the table or make the bottle unstable.
It had the function of making the bottle less likely to topple overâ€”a bottle designed with a flat bottom only needs a small imperfection to make it unstableâ€”the dimple historically allowed for a larger margin of error.
It consolidates sediment deposits in a thick ring at the bottom of the bottle, preventing much/most of it from being poured into the glass;[11]
It increases the strength of the bottle, allowing it to hold the high pressure of sparkling wine/champagne.
It provides a grip for riddling a bottle of sparkling wine manually in the traditional champagne production process.
It consumes some volume of the bottle, allowing the bottle to be larger for the same amount of wine, which may impress the purchaser.[12]
Taverns had a steel pin set vertically in the bar. The empty bottle would be thrust bottom-end down onto this pin, puncturing a hole in the top of the punt, guaranteeing the bottle could not be refilled [folklore].
Prevents the bottle from resonating as easily, decreasing the likelihood of shattering during transportation.
Allows bottles to be more easily stacked end to end.[12]
Bottles could be stacked in cargo holds on ships without rolling around and breaking.
Punts are also used to help pour the wine, providing a grip for the thumb on the bottom bottle for easy pouring.

10:44 am

rururocks

that too.. but it's primarily for reinforcing the strength of the bottle

10:44 am

hego

as i said, I would never dispute Ruru. lol

11:39 am

crosshair

A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'
A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?'
The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'

11:40 am

Book Doctor Gwen

who took all the good grids???

5:23 pm

Picklesny

Anybody notice that when they went to timeline on Fb they get less responses? or is it just me?

5:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i refuse to switch. can't find anything on the pages of people who switched!

5:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

so, my guess is, you get fewer responses because people can't find your stuff anymore

5:28 pm

Picklesny

You don't have a choice, it will change automatically

5:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well that sucks . . . !

5:29 pm

Picklesny

Zuckerberg thinks he rules the world

5:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

they keep trying to trick me into changing, like when i get an invitation from a friend to join one of their games, and I look at the invite page, and it says, if you join, we will switch you to Timeline, BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA

6:26 pm

jmcnrick

6:28 pm

jmcnrick

the texan and the oklahoman are standing on a bridge admiring the sights - lets say they're in san antonio, beautiful city

6:29 pm

jmcnrick

6:29 pm

welki

they've had a few beers and decide the bridge is as good a place as any to take a whiz

6:29 pm

welki

so they unzip, pull out and are relieving themselves, looking over the river

6:30 pm

welki

the oklahoman, a big shot, says, "Guddurn, that water's cold"

6:30 pm

welki

and the texan, not to be outdone, drawls, "Yup, and deep, too"

6:30 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

6:30 pm

welki

6:37 pm

rururocks

hi jmc.. I was hoping you were the maryland person who won the 540 million dollar lottery

6:37 pm

jmcnrick

i'll take the ribs and you can have the pierogies

6:37 pm

welki

is SF an abbreviation for calgary? because if it's not, i don't care.

6:37 pm

MollyL

Cool, Ru will meet you in a coffee shop.

6:37 pm

rururocks

6:37 pm

jmcnrick

*looks huffy* I live in DC

6:37 pm

MollyL

*Looks huffier* I live in Maryland.

6:38 pm

rururocks

you can only look huffy if you've won 540 million

6:38 pm

jmcnrick

its your own fault you weren't in calgary when i was visiting it regularly

6:38 pm

welki

<-- looks puffy on a good day

6:38 pm

jmcnrick

as well you might molls

6:38 pm

welki

you didn't let me know you were here.

6:38 pm

jmcnrick

i can look huffy if you suggest i live in the burbs

6:38 pm

jmcnrick

lets see the last time was 1978

6:39 pm

welki

that we didn't know each other then is just a minor detail :)

6:39 pm

rururocks

if you do come JM.. let me know

6:39 pm

jmcnrick

i will but will you use text?

6:39 pm

MollyL

6:39 pm

rururocks

LOL.. never!

6:39 pm

welki

i'm thinking you might have better luck with courier pigeon, je

6:39 pm

jmcnrick

i know some great people in SF. . . a conscientious objector who works for craigslist and three film makers

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

i could call him if forced

6:40 pm

welki

speaking of film = media = photos - how'd the photo shoot for the article go?

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

but i will have my friends stock up on carrier pigeons just in case

6:41 pm

jmcnrick

well i got up at 5:30 and waited until 6:45 for them to show up

6:41 pm

MollyL

<---Bets JMC would actually meet up with Ru

6:41 pm

jmcnrick

haha kje will take that bet molls

6:41 pm

6:41 pm

jmcnrick

6:42 pm

rururocks

well I"m not driving two hours again unless someone is really there

6:42 pm

welki

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

6:42 pm

welki

6:43 pm

rururocks

LOL

6:43 pm

jmcnrick

besides don't you have to go to SF for work from time to time?

6:43 pm

rururocks

I seriously doubt any of us are ALL there

6:44 pm

jmcnrick

that just about describes california to me

6:44 pm

rururocks

sometimes.. not all the time.. I go everywhere in California for work

6:44 pm

welki

i have an aunt who lives 2 hours away from SF, in lakeport - they have wineries there, right ru?

6:44 pm

jmcnrick

okay you go all over california and you are whining about a two hour drive?

6:45 pm

MollyL

Wow, I didn't realize you drove two hours to be stood up Ru. Blargh.

6:45 pm

rururocks

Lakeport is close to me welki

6:45 pm

rururocks

6:45 pm

jmcnrick

i think you have that sentence in reverse: he drove 2 hours to stand up kje! hahaha

6:45 pm

rururocks

there's lots of Meth labs up that way though

6:45 pm

welki

no kidding! if you ever are in need of some printing services, let me know - that's their gig

6:45 pm

welki

so i've heard - and right next to a volcano - so fireworks one way or another

6:46 pm

jmcnrick

there used to be a meth lab near my double-wide in asheville

6:46 pm

jmcnrick

6:46 pm

welki

*flipping ribs* brb

6:46 pm

rururocks

lol

6:47 pm

rururocks

I couldn't think of a better ending for people who crank that stuff out

6:47 pm

jmcnrick

i must say it is a factor in my inability to sell the damn thing

6:47 pm

MollyL

No, I think I got the story the right way.

6:47 pm

jmcnrick

if not for my pacifist leanings i would agree

6:48 pm

rururocks

hey if people want to blow themselves up.. that's fine with me.. as long as they don't harm anyone else

6:48 pm

jmcnrick

i once got a huge donation from a guy for my center who put us in his will and then blew himself up making bombs

6:48 pm

rururocks

lol.. omg

6:48 pm

jmcnrick

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

Kenny Chuck

Can't find the te6/18 after the te5/14 to save my life. What am i missing?

6:50 pm

welki

ugh. hate when i pull something out of the fridge and something else (inevitably) falls out and splats all over the floor.

6:50 pm

jmcnrick

te+ again + the beginning

6:50 pm

welki

but am glad i was saving washing the floor until tomorrow - would have been really ticked off.

6:50 pm

jmcnrick

as long as it glass doesn't break . . .

6:51 pm

jmcnrick

haha i would have thought it would be better to splat on a clean floor to be able to use it

6:51 pm

welki

no, the glass broke this morning in the bathroom - dropped a perfume bottle onto the counter and the base shattered

6:51 pm

jmcnrick

*meditates on the concept of washing floors*

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

blech! perfume everywhere! blech

6:52 pm

welki

i hate cleaning. i am a terrible house-keeper. if i could find someone to clean for me, i'd gladly pay.

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

*puts on mask*

6:52 pm

welki

no no - the bottle part stayed in one piece, only the base broke. and the bottle was just about empty anyway

6:53 pm

jmcnrick

i sometimes have a housekeeper but since i am unemployed i do not

6:53 pm

rururocks

we have a housecleaner... it's a pretty nice thing

6:53 pm

jmcnrick

oh okay

6:53 pm

welki

ru? are you home when she cleans? if so, what do you DO while she's working away?

6:53 pm

jmcnrick

the only thing i insist on in a housekeeper is that she washes the clothes and does a good job of that

6:54 pm

rururocks

i stay in different rooms.. once my office is clean I just come back here to get out of the way

6:54 pm

welki

i had a gal a few years ago - she'd come when i was at work. but dammit, she went back to school and got a better job. mumblemumble.

6:54 pm

jmcnrick

(psst welki he's a guy. he probably doesn't feel guilty)

6:54 pm

jmcnrick

how rude of her to get a better job!

6:54 pm

rururocks

<---not a guilt feeling kind of person

6:54 pm

Kenny Chuck

tx jmc

6:54 pm

jmcnrick

my housekeeper retired to brazil where she was from

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

yw kenny so whoo hoo?

6:55 pm

rururocks

that's nuts jmc

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

of course not ru you are a guy

6:55 pm

welki

hard to find someone independently here - you pretty much have to hire a service.

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

it is moving in that direction here but they never do a good job

6:56 pm

jmcnrick

i miss my brazilian woman who actually took pride in her work

6:56 pm

rururocks

services really can rip you off

6:56 pm

welki

but i'm just about ready to make the call, especially with fishing season coming (when i don't have weekends to pretend to clean)

6:56 pm

rururocks

by stealing things ..etc

6:56 pm

jmcnrick

the only advantage to a service is not paying payroll taxes

6:57 pm

rururocks

true

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

i am usually in and out enough they wouldn't dare

6:57 pm

welki

*sigh* can't put everything away before they come - or what's the point

6:57 pm

rururocks

our friend had a service for a bit and was missing her drugs and jewelry

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

that is why i don't worry about day time burglaries

6:57 pm

rururocks

in that order

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

well depends on the drugs. . . .

6:58 pm

rururocks

perscription

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

i put things away because i don't want to pay for them to do certain things for me

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

oh okay then. . .

6:59 pm

jmcnrick

oops i thought i was almost out of champagne. . . .*mops up*

6:59 pm

welki

blech. can't find a trustworthy independent cleaner. can't trust the services. looks like i'm going to have to bite the bullet and actually clean - instead of pretending, like i usually do :)

6:59 pm

jmcnrick

should have known i was too sober

7:00 pm

jmcnrick

so clean up once a month and forgetaboutit

7:00 pm

rururocks

lol once a month! .. *picks mrs ru up OFF the floor*

7:00 pm

jmcnrick

i would offer some ru but i understand from my liquor store i have very plebeian tastes when it comes to champagne

7:01 pm

rururocks

how plebian

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

hey i take out the trash and wipe the counters and wash the clothes and i am mostly done

7:01 pm

welki

yeah, i guess. oh - and about the pierogies. i had to use them. it's been one helluva week. the oven ignitor broke, so part won't be in until tuesday at least. figured i'd see what was in the freeze - the shelves came falling down - so at least the freezer is clean. the rest of the house. fagettaboutit

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

and occasional dust mop and what else do you need?

7:02 pm

welki

that said, i am committed to the floors, bathrooms and linens tomorrow

7:02 pm

jmcnrick

well it is good to clear out the freezer before fishing season

7:02 pm

jmcnrick

well i confess i do (sort of ) make my bed every day

7:02 pm

welki

hehehe - we don't keep our catch, so freezer room is entirely for food - and bait.

7:03 pm

jmcnrick

you don't eat it?

7:03 pm

welki

*out to sauce up the ribs*

7:03 pm

jmcnrick

i clear out my freezer before gardening season

7:03 pm

welki

nah - i hate killing them. maybe once every five years or so we'll keep a trout or bass, but if i want fish, i buy it

7:03 pm

jmcnrick

*Sneaks some of special sauce into welki's pot*

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

really?!?!?!?!

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

even i eat what i fish and i hate to eat fish

7:05 pm

rururocks

I rarely eat fish

7:05 pm

jmcnrick

i eat tilapia since it is sustainable and i do love cerviche

7:06 pm

jmcnrick

but on the rare occasion i fish i eat the blue gills and trout i catch

7:06 pm

rururocks

7:18 pm

jmcnrick

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

christmas morning as we open gifts he gives me a box which i open in front of god and everyone in which the skimpy slinky nighty is contained. . . .

8:39 pm

JenMO16

how does it start out, nef?

8:39 pm

Nef

Ah. I've been pretty much out of the game for over a month due to DH's health

8:40 pm

Nef

Jen, it's different for each person. What's up?

8:40 pm

JenMO16

my body feels like it is shocking me at times in different areas

8:41 pm

Nef

Many people with MS first have eye problems; DH lost the feeling in his left arm and had a facial droop after he came back from a fishing trip and I thought he'd stroked

8:42 pm

Nef

"shoking you"? How so?

8:42 pm

JenMO16

i somethimes come home just exhausted mind you, a 10 hour day

8:42 pm

JenMO16

8:43 pm

JenMO16

haven't touched anything

8:43 pm

JenMO16

8:44 pm

JenMO16

8:45 pm

JenMO16

8:46 pm

JenMO16

i am seeing the doctor on Wed.

8:46 pm

Nef

Good!

8:46 pm

robwhy

8:47 pm

Nef

Make sure you tell him/her ALL of your different symptoms and concerns (write them down ahead of time)

8:47 pm

JenMO16

8:47 pm

Nef

8:48 pm

robwhy

window, or tab?

8:48 pm

JenMO16

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

either, but if you do 2 windows, you can split screen them.

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

hi mab :)

8:48 pm

robwhy

do you type in the Lickety window or this one?

8:48 pm

mab

hypochondria i think

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

8:49 pm

Nef

mab and Jen, the MS society has a good website to check out; but I can't find the page I'm looking for for you

8:49 pm

mab

8:51 pm

Nef

8:53 pm

jesdraggon
