Dude, I done told you in the other thread. I gotta have good sheets and good Tequila. Most of my friends laugh because I will rarely order a restaurant margarita (and if I do I specify my Tequila) and they find it hilarious that I put good Tequila in a margarita but I can't drink anything straight (cause I'm a wimp 
) ). I rarely drink, but if I am going to I sure don't want to be sick the next day. :laugh

I'm cheap.
However, I like my Apple computer (and my iPad). On the other hand, I keep my expensive toys until they die. My iMac is now 8 years old. I also like my Toyota Camry. I also have a decent camera and some very expensive lenses.

I always specify my liquor in drinks too. Life's too short to drink bad liquor.

I've been trying to think what things I'm snobby about and finding it difficult. I guess when it comes to soda, I prefer Coca Cola. I rarely go to fast food places that sell Pepsi products. You know what they say, "Things go better with Coca Cola..."
That's the only snobbish thing I can think of.

I drink wal-mart brand soda, country time powdered lemonade, and home brewed sweet tea (wal-mart tea bags).
I buy my toys used (boat, Fifth wheel, etc...)
I buy my vehicles new and then leave them by the side of the road when they finally die.
I do buy name brand power and hand tools, (Delta, Powermatic, Dewalt, Makita, Holz-her, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Craftsman,etc...) because I only want to buy them once if at all possible. A Ryobi shall never cross my threshold.
I change my own oil and only use pure synthetic (Valvoline Syn Power or Royal Purple) and the best filters (Purolator Pure One).
I like only "Premium" brand saltines, Wrangler or Levi jeans, and Hanes underwear.

I have owned exactly two Ryobi power tools, and neither lasted a year. One was replaced under warranty two times and still didn't last a year. Maybe my experience isn't so typical. I also don't buy Craftsman power tools, just hand tools.
I've worked in and around millwork, exhibit, and cabinet shops for most of my life and, and I buy tools by what each manufacturer seems do best, Dewalt drills and trim saws, Makita hand sanders and portable sliding compound miter saws, Milwaukee sawzall, Porter Cable routers, biscuit cutters, and belt sanders, Bosch Jig Saws and impact drills, Skil brand skil saws, etc. My stationary tools were Powermatic, Holz-her, or Delta based on price and availability at the time, although I have heard that Jet has made a big leap in quality. I have a buddy with a machine shop that is practically 100% Jet and he is quite pleased.

Overall, Makita is hard to beat. I have some of them too. DeWalt makes a good tool, but their batteries suck. I order aftermarket NIMH batteries online and they last nearly forever. DeWalt is the same company as Black and Decker and Porter Cable.
I agree about the older Ryobis, they were terrible. But they have gotten much better.
Skil corded tools are good, their cordless is pretty sad.
This is a pretty good one...

I think Racetracks coffee is weak, and I never go to or by a McD's. I have only been in a Waffle House once and would never go back so I have no idea how there coffee is.lotstodo said:Racetrack, McDonalds, and Waffle House are my morning friends.ShoeDiva said:
I like my coffee dark and strong. I do not want to be able to see through it. :laugh
