I think @Lou Bob and @MC may have everyone beat if they want to chime in, probably some others as well

Oh, definitely. That Delta glitch was one of a kind.

Can anyone recommend somewhere reliable to buy mezuzos in Monsey? I'd like something mehudar, ideally without completely breaking the bank.

Rabbi Kass at the Sofer Center on Main Street was really nice, patient and (I think) reasonably priced.

What's your favorite cholent recipe?

Cheek meat in your cholent is life changing. Other than that, I just add salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika.

Oh yeah. Just stocked up yesterday.

Real credit though goes to @MC who turned me on to it.

You're welcome.

Is personal property that went with the sale supposed to go into the mansion tax tho? (I'm not an NYS lawyer and this is the first I've even heard of the tax.)

No.

Not 100% sure if this is a law question, but I'll give it a shot here first.

I have an accepted offer on a house that is over a million. Due to various issues that came up on the inspection, and an overall rethinking of the value of the house to us, I'm likely to be renegotiating - with an eye towards getting under a million to avoid the NYC mansion tax. I don't think I'll necessarily be able to get there directly by just lowering the total offer to $999,999, just based on the gap between that and the accepted offer. My question is whether it's possible to explicitly exclude as many of the things being left in the house that are personal property, and then come to a separate agreement on a purchase price for all those items? And if so, what is the process (if any) for valuing all of those items so that it's both legal, and can still represent a significant enough amount to make a dent from a negotiating standpoint?

People do it. Any sane attorney will want nothing to do with it.

Does anyone have an itinerary for a trip with a lot of distilleries?

If anyone has it, he/she probably doesn't remember.

Couple purely typographical comments:

United domestic first class saver awards are typically 25K miles, but it costs 35K on premium lie-float transcontinental routes

United charges 30K miles for a coach flight or 55K miles for a business class flight between the Israel and Africa

Avianca charges just 17.5K in coach or 35K in business, however the Aviance website struggled to find the same coach space that United has available

Just FYI - it sucks. It's an overpriced piece of junk. Had it, returned it, bought something way cheaper and way better.
