I didn't want to start a new thread....
Has anyone tried some of these "high tech fabric" shirts? I was wondering about treating myself to a couple of golf polos that are supposed to block UV, wick moisture, keep you amazingly cool and improve your short game.
OK, I made the last one up, ... This comes a bit late, but Dorf on Golf will help you with the last one.

I just upgraded my Sonicare E-series to this one. I love it! I liked the old one, but I got fed up with the screw-on replacement brushes. These replacement brushes push on, so the vibration doesn't change over time nor does a lot of gunk collect around them. They aren't lying when they say it cleans better than the E-series either. My teeth actually DO feel much cleaner than they did before. For Christmas I got the Sonicare toothbrush Mary linked to above. It's fantastic! My teeth feel a lot cleaner now. Not that I was bad at brushing my teeth before. . . .the Sonicare simplifies the process.

I've use one of these Oral B electric brushes. I've had the same unit now for 11 years and it still works like it was new. I just replace the brush head about once every 3 months. This one was recommended by my periodontist.

for tens of years, i've wanted to buy an espresso machine that would make coffee as good as they brew in the best places, but the machines all cost upwards of $700.; too much for me.
a few days ago, my sister offered me an espresso; i watched the machine while it was doing its job: only brew coming down, and twisting like a pig's tail. WOW!
Result: the coffee was as good as the best there is, and the machine sells for around $300. cdn.
i will buy one next month.
that was a big surprise for me

Spend about the same on a grinder. You can get a decent shot with an average espresso maker but not if you are using a crappy grinder.

thanks for the tip.
i got a wheel grinder, a Bialetti Tipo 1; it's about 25 years old and going like a new baby. Not made anymore.

Ah, thanks. The capsules should definitely make it easier to pull consistent shots as well as take the grinding and tamping variables out of the process. They used to have demo stations set up in a few stores here, I'll have to give it a try.
