blueschica

That would fit in with the strategy of the R40 Box set released mid November 2014 and the R40 Live DVD/CD released mid November 2015. All in time for handy Christmas giving! :D

Mr. blues is going with # 18 Kyle Busch blueschica- #42 Kyle Larson

Thanks, HemiBeers! It was a fun interview. I took two screen shots of Alex and Geddy's mothers sitting next to each other behind the stage. (Alex's mom wearing purple sweater and purple blouse; Ged's mom wearing dark sweater and red scarf at neck; both are so darling. ) They must have loved seeing their sons get this honor. http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-17%20at%2011.04.10%20PM.png http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-17%20at%2011.03.23%20PM.png

What an awesome photo tribute, Lucas! Thanks for putting this together! :)

Sigh. Double sigh. That sounds really cool ! I'm glad you got to go, it didn't look like it was a scary big crowd but a nice turn out.

Geddy and Alex got their keys to Toronto today from Mayor John Tory. Here are some photos and a link to the CBC story. Boy am I jealous of those people at the fence! :) http://www.cbc.ca/ne...-city-1.3767243 http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/mayor-john-tory-with-rush.jpg http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/CskmUtLWAAEwNxj.jpg http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/mayor-john-tory-and-rush.jpg

Oh no, what a pain to have to move again. :(

It's a risk, for certain. Sushi grade fish is very fresh and then brought down to a temperature just above freezing to kill any critters like your friend here. Sushi restaurants don't want to be known for giving their patrons tapeworms, so I'm sure food safety is their absolute top priority. And, reading reviews helps in finding the best sushi places around where you live. The water is very warm where I live (Tampa, Florida) so all of our fish must be fully cooked to avoid getting sick. It used to be easy to get raw oysters on the half shell around here until some people got very sick and some died. Now, most places don't have it and those that do have a plethora of warnings not to do it. This makes me more cautious than most I guess. Same thing happened in Jacksonville I think some time in the 80s...not death, but sickness and a lot of closings. As far as tapeworms messing you up permanently, Okinawa has the highest life expectancy on the planet. Additionally, Japan has the largest number of centenarians on the planet. Are they living with tapeworms for decades? Maybe, but I doubt it. Having said all that, I DO see a lot of medicine ads for stomach pain/ache. BUT infinitely worse than sushi or sashimi is raw chicken. That shit is absolutely gross and the number of people getting sick from it is ridiculously high compared to sushi/sashimi/raw oyster eaters. I tried raw chicken once. I didn't get sick but the taste was exactly as you'd expect. It's surprising the number of raw chicken restaurants out here that flourish. RAW chicken? That is truly disgusting. I can't believe there is such a thing as a raw chicken restaurant. I mean, WHY? Yes, raw. "Why?" It's Japan. I joke. But I'm serious with that answer too. ;) Remember, potentially deadly fugu (blowfish) is an expensive delicacy out here too. I've had that a few times (luckily never paid for it) and I haven't died yet. Really though, it's not so special a taste. Even if it weren't lethal or expensive, I'd still rather have salmon, crab, tuna, shrimp, etc. before fugu/blowfish. And I haven't even mentioned the $800 cantaloupes for sale in department stores. No joke. But that's another story. ((Edited for word selection)) You people are just puny humans, while I am a duck! I totally agree on the raw chicken! A friend in college was an agriculture/chicken something something major that had to do with chicken processing and her stories put me off chicken for years. You could never talk me into raw. (Where's that vomit emoji when you need it, ha ha)

Congratulations, Mr. Not !! :ebert: :ebert: Wow ! 90 K posts from our TRF man of mystery . . . ;)

Happy Anniversary, DJ !! :cheers: Nice to have you here !

Feel like crap.

Haha, he's been "angry" for the last 10 years! Angry because he despised touring, but had no other choice. But don't let that give you the impression that he was a pushover. Neil controlled nearly every aspect of their last tour, which in turn, pissed off a LOT of people in the organization. That's correct, and it's not like it was a big surprise to him. He KNEW that a tour was in the works. But when he stopped communicating with his band mates directly, how else was he supposed to find out? There's always another choice. Another choice that your bandmates will be happy with when everyone is just in their early 50's ? Another choice that will easily allow you to keep your current lifestyle without touring ten more years? I dunno, but when you say Neil is angry because there was no other choice, it seems to deflect all of the blame onto others. There were always other choices, just difficult ones. As I have mentioned before- if your reporting of his anger is accurate, what a sad tale.

Yeah, but the cookies . . . . and CUPCAKES !! (which I love , not stealing Segue's word . .) I was expecting a huge complex with a million cakes on display. Maybe I'm thinking too much like Alex, he's a cake maniac! Cool! Cake is my absolute favorite, even a little more than cookies, but I will take either one! :drool: Have you ever tried Mr Kiplings? I haven't heard of that! Sounds good though! Is it a cookie or a kind of cake? Edited to add: I see their Angel slices on Amazon! They look goooood !!

Yum yum yum yum yum! They look really good. I hope he has a lot of luck!

How I wish! Although I really don't know what I would do, to be in the same space with them, even a large park; my mouth would just hang open and eyes probably bulge out while people wonder what's wrong with Americans! :D It's for the best I'm busy, I'm sure.

I hope it feels better soon! Right before the weekend, too. Lorraine is right, can you have a Dr. look at it?

I'm not even sure I understand this but you are too funny. Good thing that the weekend is almost here!

That is cool news! And you know, my husband is up for the occasional 6 hr. road trip but (of course) daughter is going through a career crisis right now and she and her boyfriend are making a special trip to come home this weekend and make some hard decisions. Shoot. Except for a family reunion, we haven't done much any weekend all summer. Oh well, all the best to Al and Geddy! Pretty neat! At least you're still within driving distance. Phoenix is a little farther than Pennsylvania for sure. You will have such a wonderful winter though, I'm jealous already !

Great photos! Emily is too cute for words ! Wish I could be there to see Niall's photos as the tree photos on the right look intriguing. Oh those aren't his. Would you like to see his work? Yes, that would be great! I will be in and out some this afternoon as our back door is broken and I keep calling people to fix it, but if you have some that would be interesting.

Happy Anniversary, Babycat !! http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-15%20at%201.42.41%20PM.png

Fruity chicken salad sandwich and canteloupe.
