Sorry to hear the numbers are looking like that Shelly..... Good stories on kitty survival, hope for the best for yours Dusty. We had a cat (Rambo Bose Kitty on Head-Fi, real name SOTA) who peaked at > 31lbs. We always thought he'd have diabetes and/or kidney issues, but he actually passed away from Melanoma, apparently VERY rare in cats. We even offered to donate his body to science, but the disease was so rare nobody wanted it to study......

That does suck, sorry to hear it Shelly. Hope it gets resolved soon and with not much difficulty.... I would have said a lot more in reaction.....

Jon was surrounded by his loving family. Jon Lord, the legendary keyboard player with Deep Purple co-wrote many of the bands legendary songs including Smoke On The Water and played with many bands and musicians throughout his career. - - - - - - - - - I remember listening to Made In Japan MANY times for many months.....one of my favorites growing up..... RIP

Coming in late to the latest updates, was on vacation. Sorry to hear of the difficulties, Jacob. Work this one out, with or without counseling, and you've made great steps as a couple to be ABLE to work things out in the future. Yes, the stress will get to both of you, Karen and I had our ugly outbursts leading up to the wedding, and also when we first moved in together. We're still far from perfect, but we can talk things out and know ultimately our hearts are only for each other..... As for other rambling, I liked Valerie Bertinelli best, but still liked Mackenzie Phillips too.

Woo-Hoo!!! Awesome news, Congrats!

He played such an array of roles, also watched him since the MN days..... RIP

A long but wonderful weekend. Mentioned the Friday night affair, Saturday with my friend Steve was fun, relived old times music shopping. Got a bunch of older stuff that I didn't have copies of, as well as a couple new things from Loreena McKennitt and PiL. Last night's reunion was amazing! Our class (1982) always seems to have great turnouts, and there were folks at the 30th who I haven't seen since either the 5th, or even since HS. Lots of laughs, lots of hugs, one "I love you" (!), and just a damned good time, despite having to drink Jim Beam. A little tired today, sent off Steve to his next adventure, and then brought my son up to his overnight camp where he's spend the next 2 weeks. Time to rest, read, and then BBQ......

Hope wedding went well, Dan.....! Last night, my friend Steve (living on West coast) came into town, we and a couple others we haven't seen in a few years went to a nice place with outdoor seating called the Lobster Shanty in Salem MA. Another HS friend was doing a partially-unplugged music set at the place; good food, drinks, music, and friends. Today, Steve and I go music shopping, a pasttime we've done so many times in years past; and tonight is our 30th HS reunion..... A great weekend so far, looking forward to more of the same.

^^^ Wow, and that's not even Japan!

^^ Next time mix that cheese with some bacon, and all will be well..... Glad today is getting to be better than yesterday.

A lot of things rely on the generosity of friends and strangers....but it's nice to see the generosity happening..... Me: just paid a plumber to replace my dead and leaking water heater. I should have checked the age, thought it was maybe 7-8 years old, but it was over 11! Time flies.......

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Birgir!!

Happy Birthday Marshall!

RIP.....I'll miss his Matlock suits.....

Happy Belated!

I'm wondering if any mention of them in a reputable e-mag, especially comparing them favorably to Beats, would cause Monster to wield the mighty legal hammer of injustice.....too much "look and feel" for their liking. Maybe not, considering how many of that ilk are out there, but one never knows.... As much as it would be poetic justice to give props to a company that does style AND sound right, it does also give me puzzling thoughts in general.... But then, it's sold through Amazon, so it has some reputable backing to it on the surface. So I just don't know. I waffle like a campaigning politician!

Happy Belated.... Hope it was a blast!

HOPEFULLY someone else's..... But kind of an odd way to spend a day, life then death.....sorry to hear of the funeral

Happy Birthday!

Good luck to Adam, loved him as a player, and he got some nice remarks from Parise in regards to NJ......

Happy Birthday!!

Congrats on all accomplishments Adrian. And second the good wishes on a better feeling neck, Haj.....

Been there and past, Dinny. I loved the days when my sister would ask for help, but still try to impress me with her technical acumen: "I think my hard drive needs more RAM"

Yes, very nice table; how comfy is that chair, looks quite funky! Me: replaced my mother's computer, family tech guy strikes again. Now to see if her old one will take Windows 7.....
