Yeah, I'm basically 40, just write me a letter telling me how your life is going.  If I want something I'm probably just going to buy it.  If it's something I think isn't worth the money, I'm probably going to feel bad about you gifting it to me.

There's a reason Christmas is mostly for kids, they don't have any money yet.

Yeah, seriously.....

I mean even the kitchenaid entry level ones are still made well, and unless you absolutely abuse it, they will last you. I know it isn't the old hobart days with hand forged gearing that would let you grind a car, but if you are going to use the attachments, and might be running some partially frozen stuff through it, its worth the step up on the oomph. Also that extra bit of bowl space is critical if you are doubling recipes for stuff and don't want to make a giant mess.

I prefer the lift vs the tilt, but that is more a personal thing and depends on your cabinet space.

The small one that we typically use because its small enough to keep out all the time is probably going on 15 years old, we use it a couple of times a week easy, and i've beat on it, like, grind 20 lbs of meat that is half frozen in a single go, but it still works like a champ.

The bigger difference is in some of the attachments, a lot they make plastic vs metal versions of. The metal ones are ALWAYS worth the premium, but honestly i can't say any of it is garbage, they know they need to protect the brand on that thing.

I finally broke down and bought a good pair of wireless ear buds. I wish i had gotten on that train earlier.

Yes, the cheap ones have meh sound, don't stay in well, have shiat battery life.

Not a problem with good ones. The only annoying thing is if i fall asleep with them on, and they pop out, having to find them in the bed\couch\whatever.

I included ear buds on my list as I scrolled.  I'm personally not a fan, but I can't deny their utility.

4->6 quart upgrade is worth every penny.  I got the instant pot and Vitamix in the divorce, but my ex got the Kitchen Aid.  I should have been sneakier with that when we were packing.  I have a knock-off brand and it's simply not the same thing.  One's a professional-grade appliance and the other's a toy.

Ok, there was one thing on the list that I would recommend, that being the instant-read meat thermometer.  We bought one a few years ago and it made a significant difference in how we cook.  It was significant enough that we bought a second one to have one for grilling and one for in the kitchen, and we bought one for my folks as a gift as well.

You don't have to go with a hundred-dollar solution though, we went with a $15 solution, and there are some as inexpensive as $8 available now.  I would recommend a larger display than what we went with, but it doesn't have to be an expensive tool to do the job well.

She's is the contraction for "She is," is that right?

What's the proper way to express the pronoun for more than one woman?

Shes, very good.

Now is "is" the appropriate word or are you ignorant of are?

(Shes are.)

Hail Caesar! very good.

Now you can save some space and letter, right?

Shes're. very good.

Now go back and correct your post and add it 100 times to this thread.
