Jim Thiel of Thiel speaker fame passed away today.

Drop a few classes so I have a better chance of transferring to Curtis or Juilliard? Auditions are coming up in about a month. I'm currently taking 8.

Well, I surely like them all, but my fave is definitely blue cheese, lately though, I've started liking just a simple olive oil and lemon juice on a salad. How about you guys? -Mag

I used to love visual brain teaser like puzzles when I was a teen and want to pick up a few however I can't seem to find a good resource that separates the wheat from the chaff. Are any of you into puzzles? Can you recommend some of your favorites?

I told the wife I just have to have a Harley Soft Tail. Ed across the street just got one and Bob on the side street just got a Kawasickie. And Mo, down the street just got a Miata. Dear, I need to save face here. The man who dies with the most toys WINS. Ya know? She said "NO". You got ten bad discs in your back and bad hips and knee joints plus at your age you don't belong on a bike. Then she said your John Deere riding lawnmower (RX75 rear engine rider) is 17 years old. Why don't you just get a nifty new lawn mower instead? Doesn't that count as a "Nifty boy toy". I said get rid of my John Deere, oh Lord no. She said "just get a new John Deere, a bigger one or somethi…

Santa, this year for Christmas I want a Red Rider BB gun!

OMG, it's real: link with trailer.

So Georgia is having a drought and the governor decided the best fix is going 'old school.' We taking bets on this working in 2007? Anyone know how Alabama spinned the continuing drought?

Have a fantastic day!

So, I thought my Christmas shopping was done, but turns out my brother already owns the first thing I bought for him. I now want to get him a basic, all-inclusive, beginner brewing kit, and I've been looking around, mostly at Amazon, but I obviously have no clue what's decent or not. I'm fine with anything in $200 range or under. Any ideas?

60 years young! Happy birthday to you.

Hope you had a great one, Tyler! Come hang out in our virtual Wonderland sometime! Cheers!

¡Feliz cumpleaños!

Have a fantastic day!

Next year you'll officially be an old dude. Live it up this year! Have a great day Doug! Do something fun today!

Hi, I'm Justin, and I'm going to be frank with you all. I'm here for something different. Over the past few years I've drifted from my friends as a result of changing work, lately I have very few people I can relate with. Music is the second most important thing in my life and yet I can rarely talk about it with good people. Perhaps I'm in the wrong place, maybe I'm not. I'm not here to beg for advise, I just want people I can talk to, and most importantly relate to. I've lurked for years, and know how things work around here. I hope that with time, I can get to know all of you. I apologize in advance for this rampant show of sincerity, I guess I might be a little d…

Have a great first birthday of retirement Al! Cheers!
