Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 26, 2013

Those really never worked for me.

What? That’s just plain stupid…..I’ve never heard of such a thing……What is it a wine bottle condom?……

Don’t get it

Never even heard of such a thing.

It’s like a little drip pan that goes around the bottle’s neck, so when you pour, anything that runs back along the bottle is caught so you avoid stains on linens or bare table surfaces when you put the bottle back down.

If you pour properly, with a slight bottle twist at the end, there’s never a drop.

this is just a sample of Janis micro managing to the umpteenth degree as usual.

That what wives do. You can look at it as micromanaging. I prefer to look at it as looking after the details. When you’ve been married as long as I have you just roll with it.

I just use a straw.

I have a couple that I slip over the spout on the tea pot. It’s a sort of scrunchy. But then, teapots drip more than wine bottles.

They are useless. They look good at formal dinner parties, but that’s about all their good for. We had some pretty engraved pewter ones, but never used them. I think they’re on a decorative bottle in the hutch. Who cares if the bottle drips a few times? Not me.

Memorial Day in the USA..

I just drink straight from the wine bottle, never spill a drop.

A good marriage is a symbiotic relationship. Each has strengths to balance the shortcomings of the other.

Who uses wine bottles? I get mine in cardboard boxes!

I want those bookends.

Good to the last drop…

GSJ Olé: I have used that technique on a whole range of liquids from milk to cooking oil, to soy sauce. I never heard of the rings, but then I am not a boozer.
