When I want to use the best butter I go for Irish Gold. It is pricy compared to store-brand butter but I can tell the difference so I hope those who are served in my home will enjoy the difference.
I like the Irish Gold, but we find that Plugra is slightly better (at least for our palates). It also is pricey, but well worth it.
Had a 65 Super Sport with 396 and 4-speed transmission; red with white interior. Great car! Was stolen, police found what was left of it a few days later.

[quote=BassmanBruce]We bought a John Deere Z355e zero radius late last summer and so far are very pleased with it. $3,400 new, 48” cutting deck.
I went from a John Deere 175 Riding mower to this JD Z355e a year and a half ago and couldn’t be happier. I have an acre and it takes about 30 minutes whereas it took an hour with the 175.

BTW, why pay for a receiver (which is a tuner plus an amplifier) if you’re going to buy amplified speakers like a sound bar?
Not all sound bars are amplified. I have a Golden Ear Technology sound bar that is powered by my Marantz M7055 power amplifier. My sound bar is integrated in my home theater system. I have a separate system for audio.

Laurel, I just got back from a Transatlantic cruise and a week stay in Rome. I took my D500 with my Tamron 18-400 and 50 f1.8. 99% of my shots were with the 18-400 using the full zoom capabilities of the lens. When walking around I carried the camera with lens attached in a PacSafe sling bag (

I just recently took advantage of the promotion and had 3 16x20 prints made. Very pleased with the results. Very fast, good quality and great service.
Thanks to all for your responses!!! I keep getting emails advertising their product and wanted some assurance about the quality of their work.
Does anyone have experience with Easy Canvas Prints?
I recently purchased a Magnus GH-M1 gimbal head from B&H for $49 (Deal Zone price-normally $70). Works really well for my infrequent use and will handle weights up to 30 lb. I also have a Manfrotto MA393 head which has a 44 lb. capacity. Both handle my D500 or D850 with my Nikkor 200-500 easily.
I recently bought a Kindle for myself and then last month purchased one for my wife and I didn’t have any problems. No add-ons or additional charges. Don’t recall any offers of anything additional at times of purchase.
I too love listening to music (all genres). I have approximately 5,000 LPs and 1,000 CDs. For serious listening I have a system consisting of an Audio Research SP-8 tube preamp, VTL Deluxe 225 tube mono amps, Golden Ear Triton One floor standing loudspeakers, Linn Sondek LP12 turntable, and Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD player. Even though I just turned 76, I can’t give up my main system yet. For casual or background listening either from my computer, iPad or cellphone, I have a JBL Charge 4, which I can take almost anywhere, indoors or out.
I purchased my D500 refurbished from Nikon about 3 years ago and have never had any problems. Have also purchased a couple of refurbished lenses, again with not problems.
One of the reasons I continue to shop with Amazon is their ease of returns policy. I simply get the QR code on my phone, take it to a UPS store or Kohl’s, drop it off (don’t even have to package it), and get a receipt. Usually before I get home, I have an email confirming the full cost has been credited to my credit card or Amazon account. Easy-Peasy! As Clark Johnson noted the only time I have had to pay anything on a return is if the item was from one of Amazon’s third-party sellers.
