Blondie2222 @Blondie2222 (28611) • United States 27 May 10

I used to love Keystone & then my mom introduced me to bud light lime and now that's my fav beer to drink. I'm not really a beer drinker but if I want a cold one on a hot day thats what i'll get. Otherwise I mostly drink mixers...

amram80 There are alot of good beers out there to explore. I've never had anything from Sam Adams I didn't like. Fat Tire is also a good, albeit expensive, flavorful beer. My personal all time favorite is Spaten Optimator. It's a dark German double bock beer. You...

Anybody here a big fan of text messaging?

krodrigues @krodrigues (76) • Canada 24 Jul 09

I'm Addicted! It's honestly one of the only things I use on my cell phone. A lot more impersonal then a phone call, that's for sure. But i think that's what makes it so great. I'm not really a fan of talking on the telephone. I...

amram80 I like texting. Short, sweet, and to the point. I just upgraded to a new phone with a keyboard.

Favorite Beer

chriss121 @chriss121 (80) • Thailand 4 Jun 09

Coming originally from the UK I have always enjoed a glass of British bitter beer, but now living in South East Asia I can't get any so i have had to turn to a locally brewed lager beer, nice and cold for the hot weather but it's...

amram80 Optimator is a German double bock beer and is very dark. I don't think most people would drink more than one an evening because they are so heavy. But strickly for flavor, it can't be beat. They are a little hard to find. Right now, there is no store in my...

amram80 For swilling, Coors Light is not bad, but for actual flavor, Spaten Optimator has no equal. It's a double bock beer with 8.2% alcohol, and it give you a lovely buzz.

Home brewing

BBBuckeye1 @BBBuckeye1 (24) • United States 26 May 09

Is there anyone who has interesting experiences with home brewing? I have thought about trying to come up with my own brew, but as of this point, I haven't done it. It seems like a lot of work, so I'm wondering if it is worth the...

amram80 I would recommend you start with a kit like Mr.Beer before you start trying to make your own from scratch. The Mr.Beer kits are inexpensive and make about twenty 12 ounce bottles of beer. The beer tastes like a premium beer, and you can brew it yourself for...

Have you watched 24 since the first season?

JABeau59 @JABeau59 (446) • United States 3 Apr 09

I don't know why, but my hubby and I just found out how great 24 is. Maybe it was on at the same time we watched something else. Now we have Tivo and we can watch 1 and record another. We wondered if it would be worth it to...

amram80 I've never watched 24 on Fox. I started renting them on Netflix and holy cow, I was hooked. They are so intense, my wife can't even watch them. I own seasons 1, 2, and 4. It would drive me crazy to have to wait a week before seeing the next episode. Buy the...

Great wine in the $10 range? Any recommendations?

Chowhound @Chowhound (49) • Canada 28 Feb 09

I'm part of a supper club and our goal is to make lovely meals for 6 people spending no more than $20 each for the main course, dessert and wine. I'm struggling with the wine part. I can't seem to fit taxes and 2 bottles of nice...

amram80 I'm currently reading Wine for Dummies, and even though I haven't finished the book, I've learned quite a bit. A good wine is pretty much whatever you like, but just because you don't like a wine doesn't mean it's a bad wine. As far as specifics, a Merlot or...

Have you ever taken Flonase for your allergies?

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 27 Feb 09

Does Flonase work for you? I have taken it in the past and it does help but takes long to work. Have you ever used it or do you now?

amram80 I've used Flonase in the past, and it does work. You do have to use it regularly. Occasional use as needed really doesn't work. As far as side effects, they are minimal. When you look at the package insert for most drugs, the side effect profle is awful. Keep...

Should I stop my hair loss

orangeG @orangeG (31) • United States 6 Feb 09

So, I am going to be 35 this year. I have always had a full head of hair, but I think that I am starting to lose it. Whenever my wife cuts my hair (Yes, we do have her do it to save us money), she mentions that my growing bald...

amram80 They sell generic Rogaine at all drug stores and many grocery stores. I mentioned Sam's Club because it's the cheapest I've found. At Sam's you get six bottles (a six months supply) for about 18 dollars. A single bottle at CVS or Rite Aid might cost 10 dollars...

amram80 You can stop, or a least slow down your hair loss if you choose. Right now I'm using both generic Roagine and generic Propecia. Rogaine goes directly on the scalp, and Propecia is an oral tablet. I'm older than you, but i have seen some new growth on my head,...

How will preventing STDs stimulate the economy?

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 31 Jan 09

I was just watching the news and I saw that this is part of the stimulus plan for the economy. I believe they said 400 million for the prevention of SIDS. This is just ridiculous. I personally don't think this has anything to do...

amram80 If public monies are spent treating STDs, and they are, then I could see how preventing STDs could cause less drain on the economy. In turn, that money could be spent on something else.

amram80 For everyday sipping, I like plain old Coors Light. For a special treat, I love Spaten Optimator. It's a German double bock beer, so it's a little heavy for regular swilling.

amram80 I've bought various things through e-bay and have never had a problem. Sometimes the shipping is a little slow. As long as you deal with a reputable seller, you should have no problem. Be sure to look at the seller's rating.

amram80 I take the Xanax XR 0.5mg every day, but I also keep some 0.25mg immediate release tablets with me just in case of breakthrough. I've never had to use the 0.25mg tablets. I did try the Zoloft and Paxil, but they really just made things worse for me....
