I am equally impressed that you were able to balance on two swimming dolphins. Any idea how fast uou were going? IT looks pretty fast from the amount of water spraying.

Did you actually call him that on the board? There's also an opportunity to work in a Wizard of Oz reference, maybe cleverly altered into a Rush reference. Closer to Finding My Heart I have Rush, Oz and the relation to his screen name. I like yours AND I like Tombstone's. Ohhh. I do like DM's alot. No disrespect to TM but winner winner chicken dinner... :madra: Hey, a little lobbyin' never hurt anyone. The Bayou one is just as good.

I don't have any of her albums other than a Christmas one.

Flavor?... Orange Pineapple for me, Triple Chocolate Brownie for him. :D Fantastic afternoon. Triple chocolate brownie? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/1001001/Movies/00cd4883-098b-435f-aa6a-5583a3b9e4eb_zpsafaeba36.jpg They had about 20 flavors and I was reading trying to figure out what I wanted (couldn't tell you the last time I had ice cream) when I saw that; end of decision making process.

This is too true, Queen trying to tour without Freddy is just plain sad. (Journey and Bad Company get an honorable mention as well.) AC/DC got really lucky in finding Brian Johnson when Bon Scott died. I was only about 13 and didn't realize until a few years later there was a different singer on Back in Black then Highway to Hell.

Just speaking from the perspective of being old and having similar and in some cases worse problems... It ain't that simple. Wish it were... :codger: Absolutely, they may take the edge off but it never goes away completely.

A lot of the time a boot collector will send you copies of their boots by trading black cds. Two for one, if you want 10 shows and it's 20 cd's, you send them 40 blank cd's, they make the copies you want and then they send you the boots.

I have the first 2-3 seconds, in a loop, of the Digital Man drum intro as my ringtone on my cell.

Go here and take a look. This site has the most comprehensive and correct listing of all Rush tours that I have seen. http://www.digitalrushexperience.com/database/dbhome.php

It's so bizarre that you can't see my pictures posting from photobucket. Yes - that is my new avatar. Is this the same woman who wanted to beat up a gas station attendant? Yes, one and the same. To be fair though that guy was being a dick!

and Thanks :D Done! I will add heck Late I know but geez what a pic... :) I know right? She certainly doesn't need to wear her shoes.

Dealing with customers always has the potential to go south. I used to work a drug store chain and was a new cashier, it was my first month or so. It was busy and I went to open a new lane, looked behind me at the next register and asked the next cusotmer in line to come over, well the person three customers back came right away. I told her: I'm sorry I need the next person in line, you were three back and leaned back to get the other customer. The lady in fornt me threw stuff down and demanded to be checked out. I looked at her said the customers at the front get checked out first and she asked why. I told her because they had been waiting longer than her. She asked how I could possible know they had been waiting in line longer than her. I said becasue they are in front of you in line, they got there before you. She started screaming at me calling me names still demandintg to be checked out. The other customers saw me geting frazzled and upset and said to just go ahead and check her out. I was almost done when the floor manager showed up and asked what was going on. I explained, with support from the customers from the other line, what had happened. My manager sent me upstairs to calm down and relax and she finished the transaction. She later came upstairs and told me I handled it just fine and none of it was my fault. Enentually I ended up being one of the Customer Service Managers at that store, but my beginning left a lot to be desired.

Listen to the Spindrift intro from about :15 to :30 or so

Sundog is the perfect amount of girly for me. I tell her she is beautiful everyday because it happens to be the truth. If you have good, happy, positive and beautiful people in your life you should tell them as ofter as psooible. There's enough negativity coming in from everyhwere else.

Indeed. It's one thing when a self-proclaimed adherent of an idea fails to live up to that idea -- there are many self-proclaimed Christians out there that don't seem to actually walk the walk -- but when an idea's chief proponent does that, then I think it's reasonable to wonder if the idea is as good as the proponent says it is. I can't imagine Christianity would have ever gotten off the ground if Jesus had been a judgmental, hate-filled, violent asshole. Indeed. Incredibly, those qualities appear mandatory for modern day Christians. Libertarians will go to great lengths to say how Communism, Socialism etc can't work yet aren't so incisive in their appraisal of Rand who basically sunk the boat of the practicality of Randism by her own inability to make it work. Most of the fluff of her philosophy was padding to the basic idea that artists and thinkers are special and should be left to get on with their magical lives without the attention and restriction of ordinary, less gifted folk. A philosophy based on snobbery, just what we needed. That explains our difference of opinion. The above is what took from her writings, this is what I took: sticking to your convictions, always giving 100%, not giving in to those who would drag you down to their level, trying to get others around to work harder instead freeload off of the system, living with integrity and honesty, striving to do your best all the time, not being beholden to anyone nor expecting anyone to be beholden to you

How else do you interpret this exchange? Exactly, because sticking to your convictions, always giving 100%, not giving in to those who would drag you down to their level, trying to get others around to work harder instead freeload off of the system are horrible, horrible characteristics for any of us. Do you know anything about Rand the person at all? She wasn't nice. Yes, I am aware she wasn't nice, she was quite a bitch from what I have read. How does that make her ideas of living with integrity and honesty, striving to do your best all the time, not being beholden to anyone nor expecting anyone to be beholden to you, bad ideas? Because once you acknowledge the kind of person she was you cannot then connect her to the virtues of integrity and honesty. My point being that if she couldn't follow her philosophy herself then why should anyone else give them credence as being practical? Rand was all about people she believed to be talented being acknowledged as special and elite and that is what initially appealed to Peart. In other words she appealed to his vanity.

I didn't find them preachy, at least not The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged (maybe this one a little). I Just read them as stories about people trying to make it in the world around them and overcoming obstacles.

Good deal, you and Sunny need to set a date for this shindig. :hi:

Does anyone know anything about where Lorraine is? She hasn't been here for almost a week. I saw something in another thread about her maybe getting upset aboput some posts, but can't find it aagain.

Mine isn't non-traditional but I don't often meet another Scott, although a few years ago there was another set of parents on our sons baseball team named Scott & Jen. That was kind of trippy.
