Hi everyone!!! :hi: I freaking love love LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my new job here at Allstate. :7up: I'm so so so happy. My boss is the one that got me into insurance a couple years ago, and he's the bestest and my coworkers rock! I work around new cars all day long in downtown Portland. Life is so good right now. I just wanted to say hi and to let you all know I ain't fergitten ya!

Is anyone suffering from P.R.I.C.S. (Post RUSH in Concert Syndrome lately). I know I am. I have the Blu-ray of the CA Tour but its not enough. Just the fact that there won't be any RUSH in the near future has me going crazy. I need some RUSH and I Need it now! :Alex: :Neil: :geddy:

Gedsy and the Rick....a beautiful and proper sight/sound.

Sweet! How much you guys score? 19 million, totally surreal

These are good suggestions whether you go with meds or not. Agreed. I believe everyone needs something. Something that is theirs to have and to hold on too. Whether it be a hobby, knitting a sport or whatever. An outlet to blow off steam or to relax and to forget about the seriousness of it all. That's pretty much what I've done throughout my life anyway.... :) Couldn't agree more. This is why I exercise. I run daily and it's the best medicine for me. I get to pound all of my frustrations out into the pavement. I used to paint and write to get things out. The point is, as others have pointed out, that there are alternatives to being medicated.

Ok, let's try! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/01.jpg "Who is that girl?" http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/02.jpg "The one with the license plate?" http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/03.jpg "Yeah, I would!" Later: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/04.jpg "Lerxst, thanks for getting Gangster's number off Janie!" At the show: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/05.jpg "Gotta leave early boys, I have a date with Gangster!" http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/06.png "Hey Gangster..." http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/07.jpg "Hey Gangster, it's a quarter to eight!" Some weeks later: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/08.jpg "Yeah, so this is me and Gangster on the beach, and these are shots from our vacation to Italy..." Backstage webcam: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Bluefunk/Gangster/09.jpg The boys fight over which 'New World Woman' they like the best! (Bluefunk wasn't even mentioned! :laughing guy: ) You have a talent! These stories of yours are amazing.

Recently, while watching the live version of "A Passage to Bangkok" from the Snakes and Arrows Tour I noticed that Neil doesn't play the drum fills during the chorus. I assume that Neil is extremely embarrassed by the lyrics of that song and not playing the drum fills is his little way of protesting the song. Any thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kB0vgbB7zs&t=1m2s

Mmmmm that shirt. Yes. :drool: Why can't ALL of his shirts unbutton like that?

:lol: If Geddy ever reads this stuff, he must think we have all lost it for sure. :lol: By the way, who is the baseball guy standing next to him? He looks very familiar to me. I loved the vacation lines too! How come Al and I didn't get to go on vacation? You started a beast blue!

"Next will be All The Worlds A Stage?" I wouldn't be opposed :). To me, Atwas is far more historically relevant than the '74 album! It marked a time where Rush had finally attained critical mass and was destined for greatness.

HPL, don't hold your breath for a reimbursement check though. The Church moves faster than the accounting department at the YBG. ;)

Tony seems familiar with this disease. He has the first recorded case of it. Broad spectrum antibiotics may be in order........ :D-13:

I'm afraid Sir Horace won't be catching the 10.15, Lady Partridge. Oh, heaven's sakes we are being formal. :finbar: Does it have to be surnames? No I would rather go back to calling you Mrs S.C.U.M. Are there any women here today? :drool: The tender compassionate story of one man's love for another man in drag. Well, I was quite pleased actually. I was trying to do my butch voice, you know, 'what the jury must understand', and they loved it, you know. I could see that foreman eyeing me. Oh yeah, you know, get 'em when they're young, eh...eh! :codger: Would you like to have a sixteen-ton weight dropped on top of you, Eric? How many sixteen-ton weights are there? Oh, it's for charity, sir. People are awfully good about it, you know. :) No, no, no, I don't follow this at all, I mean, I don't want to seem stupid but it looks to me as though I'm a pound down on the whole deal. I embezzled it sir. It's my first. Please be gentle with me. So I sentence you to be burnt at the stake. :fury: Could be worse. No chance, Brian. There's no chance. Well Brian... I'm opening a boutique. No, I'm only joking. I'm not really Brian. No, I'm not Brian. I was only - It was a joke.

Just came across this multi-cam (whole!) show video from Philadelphia (10/12/2012). It's a prety good fan-recording of a CA-show imho :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N4pHmKU9uc

I know the feeling... Perhaps watching this (multi-cam) video will cheer you up a little bit losingit2k :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N4pHmKU9uc

I got this movie for Christmas, he is absolutely adorable throughout the whole video. I swear, that man turns me into a giddy, swooning mess.

Don't worry man, you know I'm a monk when on the job. Besides, you'll find a note for some hundred thousands signed "manga" but again don't worry: it's all professional literature.

This is fantastic, absurd, interesting, stupid, and an absolutely hilarious! Hey RushGoober—look what has happened to the Yukon Blade Grinder. It's international and bigger than footlong sandwich! Chew on it and savor the flavor. I've just gotta say, again, how impressive this is...it's just ass kicking fun! Like SWS, your content is really blossoming. YBG Europe is proud of you. I still need the receipts for your expenses. Just because you're a talented journalist doesn't mean accountability evades your "to-do" list!

When it rains you have to stay indoors and when you stay indoors you get to play. A lot. If you know what I mean. I think Seattle should be "Warmwetland's" sister city. If you know what I mean. I know what you mean, and I like your meaning. A lot. Ever since I was a flannel-wearing, guitar-playing teen, I've felt like Seattle was the place for me. But instead of being in your rainy state, I'm neighbors with LABT in a frigid wasteland. :|

How can a place called "Warmwetland" not be fun?

Congratulations your highness...you just made it to Vapor Trail 15000 posts!!! Any words before we start the party??? http://img1.imagehousing.com/25/ed0f7d31f603b250df9fb707b574cd25.jpg

I think the general consensus is that Lavonte David was the biggest snub at the position.. Did Mathis and Suggs really play that well or did they get in on their names and displace David and Levy? Probably...

Could be. Would be nice if he got the ball enough to find out. Maybe those wild out of control passes that Yogi makes are for him. I just hope they can take care of the ball better in conference play. Playing mostly horsecrap competition in the preseason reinforces some bad habits. Fischer and Robinson were playing well lately but the level of competition makes it difficult to know whether that can continue. agreed.

The B1G is looking pretty weak inside this year . Big loss for Michigan , but anytime you lose a hoosier it's a bad break.

That's why many people are into sports fandom so much too. My two vices at this point are working out of course and this forum. Mind and body are both covered.... :) You guys are right on. My morning workout is one of my favorite parts of the day. It's such a productive way of channeling angry or nervous energy, and it's relieving at the same time. Then you can throw on your flannel and grab the guitar.... :dweez:

Lot of sad (and great) songs mentioned but, unless I missed it, the song that hits me the hardest has not been mentioned yet so I will toss it in. It is: Leaving on a Jet Plane by Peter, Paul & Mary

It's funny because I think in part, he did it to get me out of his hair (not that I'm in there much). All of the consoles are upstairs in the media room and he hangs out in the den which is downstairs. Still, I'm pretty excited to learn the guitar. The only downfall is that I had to cut my fingernails short (not feeling too feminine right now). I'm making up for it by painting my nails funky colors. Man *yawn* I am one exciting chick. The required constant cutting of fingernails annoys me to this day, haha. Not that I usually have mine long or anything, but it feels really irritating to me to have my nails touching the fretboard even the slightest bit, so I have to keep them super-short at all times. And it is exciting when a chick plays rock and roll. :D I need to update my wardrobe now that I'm a rock and roll chick. I need some tight leather pants. Although I like dresses. Well, when I start rocking out at gigs I'll just have to change it up every night. Super spikey heels with tight leather pants one night, a skirt with minor spikey heels the next. Sometimes a girl has to be good. Sometimes, not. I have to form a band now. After one day on Rocksmith. Yes, I must form a band now.

Has anybody thought of just hiring a date for him? Hell bring a chick in from the moonlight bunny ranch. Wait, he's a musician. A working guitarist with upcoming gigs. Shouldn't he be able to score tons of chicks from that? He should be landing all kinds of swamp donkeys Hey... as a girl who happens to prefer the company of men who make music I kinda take offense to the "swamp donkey" reference! :P

You remember things about me or things I've said that have impressed me beyond words. You are the king. Just keep calling me queen and everything will be cool between us. ;)

Think if he goes to the "Soak & Poke" he can find the right gal? *slowly backs up out of thread*

Ooh...more stuff to explore

Congratulations, Janie. Please stick around for at least 15,000 more. Your posts rule... especially the ones in the prom thread about me being king. Those are the best.

I for one think posting a hot pic would be a great way to start the festivities...... :) :cheers: and congrats

I don't see what the problem is. Rainy days are the best.

The prom plans are shaping up nicely! :) But poor Sheldon is without a date. And the whole thing was his idea. :(

Oh yes. Meditation has helped me greatly! I've slowly been writing lately, and as crazy as it sounds- putting on music, getting Lucy and DANCING! hehe. I prefer natural remedies. I hate how so many people say "anxiety? PILLS!" like it's the perfect solution. I've known plenty of people who took anti depressants & stuff to help with anxiety, and more often than not it really made things worse. Ya, yes...they're starting to realize they're not right 100 percent of the time. I admitted to things I've done (like not cleaning purely out of spite. I did explain, though, that the one day I spent a full 8 hours cleaning and they told me of all I DIDN'T do, that that was what made me say "F this.") Another good night last night :) An argument almost started but we both walked away for a moment, calmed down and talked it out. before we knew it, we were cuddling on the couch. No screaming. and that was the only bump in the road last night. He's also realized that my god, I NEED alone time. Even just a few minutes. I have Lucy all day every day and sometimes I get frazzled!! so he's been telling me "go for a walk. I've got her. Go get your headphones and walk." I love walks and it's so nice to get out of the house. :)

You're like MacGyver Dentist...which coincidentally in a Rush related connection: the theme to that show originally was Tom Sawyer in Brazil.

Original one or the remake? Original

Evil Dead.

Of course the keyboard player claims that!

Warriors...come out and plaaay (clink clink).

Oops...

My husband and I had a counseling appt. two days ago and the Doctor told my husband he has severe anxiety. We didn't even know it! We knew he had a little but we didn't realize the extent and the other ways it comes out. I agree with others, if you can get help, get it.

Resurrecting this thread as no song had stuck out to me before until I recalled this. The only song or video that has ever made me tear up.
