I need new glasses


Would it kill you to post every day? Would it?




I need new glasses

No I see just fine, it's my drinking glasses. I need new drinking glasses.

BH prefers these ginormous plastic drinking glasses (cups? can they be called glasses ifin they're plastic?)

Anyhoodle, I'm rather fussy about my glassware. I want them sturdy. Real sturdy. I don't want them tipping over (because they will) and breaking. I want them to have solid bases. Nothing fancy or fragile. And I like glass, not plastic, which I'm sure is poisoning me. I used canning jars for years. Loved it. No not fancy, not even very pretty but I'll tell you, they lasted forever, they didn't break easily, they didn't topple and I could pour boiling hot liquid in them or toss them in the freezer if I had to. Or and another thing, they have to be able to fit in the dishwasher rack and not clink around.

Is this all too much to ask?

I didn't think so.

Well there's more. I have a certain glass in mind. Of course you use to be able to buy them everywhere, in fact I found them at Pic n Sav once. (which I hear is going out of business, is that true?) Now I'm not able to find them though I haven't checked everywhere.

So a friend insisted I go to Overstock to see if they had them.

I like these.

Wine glasses!
Are they the coolest? Though I don't know about the round bottoms after a few glasses. You just know someone is going to set them down wrong.
These would be more like it. Square bottoms, no chance of tipping here. I don't like the glass part. Shaped like ugly water glasses. I like the flutes in the first pic or balloons. These are neither. Industrial, Coco's style water glasses with pretty bottoms.

But I don't need wine glasses. I need a wine glass rack. But I'm good on the wine glasses.

Whadaya think about these?I have these!
I have yet to make a Martini in them. I have made a dessert in them. And these were ridiculusly expensive on Overstock. I got them at the 99 store.

I want drinking glassess that look like these.
Clear glasses with a hint of green on the rim. These arn't them. These are shot glasses.
I want them shaped like these. Nice thick glass. Study bottom. Like these, only clear with green rims.


No
Not like these. I like the shape of these. The stems are pretty. These would make nice water glasses. They look a little fragile and I don't know how they'd hold up in the dishwasher. And I don't like the over all green.

I'll keep looking.
