I've seen people argue on this forum about how distant Neil is, never connects with the fans, etc. However, he's the one with the website that has frequent updates, a Myspace page, a forum, and now a twitter page. Add that he has written books about some very personal moments and I think he tries to connect with the fans more than the two guys who shake hands and pose for pictures with people. My comment was directed to the usual naysayers.

Dusting off the cobwebs on the bar. Here's your beers people.

The ex boyfriend(it's been over a year!) called me up pretending that he was all concerned about my very sick mom, and then asked me out. It's over. It's been over. I'm NOT going out with you. and I'm not answering his calls any more, it'll go Straight to voicemail!

I had hoped that no one knew me.

Thanks Bob! In keeping with the Star Trek theme: http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg84/nettiesaur/StarWarsFight.jpg

Freeze tag didn't work out as an activity on the bridge, especially during a red alert.

My AC is out and it's going to be over 100 degrees today. I have someone coming to fix it, but it's already over 80 degrees in here! on the other hand, someone IS coming to fix it. I could be waiting for days for repairs.

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. Maybe if you report it to the BBB, they may, possibly be able to get your money back for you, or be alerted to the scam.

I would think that they could play Faithless with the strings as well, so, a nice little group of older songs(Tears, Nobody's Hero, Losing it, and Faithless) along with the CA stuff would make it worth having a string section.

The tables and chairs are out on the patio. The pool has been cleaned. I think the shooting range is out of order for now, unless Missionman has been in to set it up.

Plant some garlic around them, the bunnies hate it. I wish I had done that with my herb garden. Even though I planted onions around it, the little buggers ate every little leaf, including the onion tops. I replanted everything in a raised bed, and have some garlic to put in there!

QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ May 5 2012, 12:21 AM) Along with losing weight everywhere else on my body, it seems my FINGERS are also thinner now. My wedding ring must've fallen off my finger on Thursday night at some point. I discovered it was missing from my finger at midnight, and thought "It could be ANYWHERE! When did it fall off?" On Friday morning, I drove to the Little League where I had been coaching the night before. I hopped the fence surrounding the ballfield. (At 44, something which would've been much harder to do before losing the weight!) I looked around for less than a minute, and there was my ring, right behind home plate. I put it on, hopped back over the fence, and left, feeling elated. What made my day? Finding my lost wedding ring, and finding it so quickly. And being able to "hop a fence" again. FWIW: A Facebook friend says the same thing happened to him, but he wasn't as lucky. About 1.5 years ago, he lost a lot of weight, including in his fingers. His wedding ring fell off and he lost it. It's awesome that you found it!!

I got to hold my baby great niece for quite a while today. The only good thing about visiting my mom in the hospital. She's been there for a month!

Happy Birthday Maestro !!!

Well, both of you! You did have the good sense to go back to school.

I feel like crap right now. Hey, chin up! At least you're not graduating with a degree in electronic music and going back to school for a post-bac degree in computer science because your job prospects are nil! That is one puffed up idiot's version of what your degree is worth. For a real world reading, ask the job placement department at the university: How many of the recent grads from your field are currently working in that field. They should know, if not, ask why!

great news GG! I hope you feel better soon!

Didn't help that she obviously didn't take time to calm down before she confronted me, making it much worse than it could have been. What did you do ??? Teachers don't usually go off for nothing... I know I usually have a REALLY good reason. No it was totally my fault. Doesn't keep me from getting upset. Totally understandable.
