Thanks. In bad times, my mother sent me money for food and hotel. The other members didn't have that support. They took drugs and smoked. Often they would go into a grocery store and pretend they were shopping while quickly feeding themselves and walking out. Very, very lucky they weren't arrested for that!
I've noticed lots of Patriots driving around with large flags attached to their vehicles in support of Trump 2020... many more now than before the election.
My brother is 5 years older than me and often borrowed 45's from friends to rerecord on my dad's reel-to-reel tape machine so they cold go to parties and have a few hours of music and not have to handle records. My dad had music of his day and I got to listen to a span of 40+ years. I took symphonic band in Junior High playing oboe and started on guitar when The Beatles invaded American music. There were at least 15 guitarists in my neighborhood and though my parents supported my music expression, my mother wanted a piano. We convinced her to purchase a portable organ and I joined a band playing keyboard. Since we were too young to drive, our parents would volunteer and take us to Miami Beach where we got on the pool band circuit going from hotel to hotel doing music for tips. It's called busking in Europe. That worked for a few years. We were doing songs by Young Rascals, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Lots of Motown hits that lead to private parties, teen dances, fraternity parties. Cream and Jimi Hendrix came along and I switched to bass guitar.
By the time of Led Zeppelin, I was in a Zep cover band who also an amazing copy of Amboy Dukes songs. We saw them live several times and got to understand their music.
Very active, we gigged nearly every weekend and more during summer as one venue was open 7 days a week.
Not in this venue, but I will say music engulfed my life and 6 or 7 years of that was playing professionally. One touring group doing 50's 60's and 70's hits took me all the way to Halifax, Nova Scotia and several cities in Canada. The deal turned sour causing me to get out of music professionally.
I'm not sure if I listed this one before... cos isn't really a word, but in many Asian countries it's used in place of because. Cos I knew many Philippine women used cos in a chat room I once frequented.
Let's all hallucinate for a moment and believe Trump will ignore the transition, refuse to concede, continue to fill the courts with unsubstantiated fraudulent voter claim lawsuits and create some block of the scheduled inauguration demanding the Supreme Court hear his case...
His term would end on the 20th. Trump would cease to be president. With Biden's inaugural ceremony on hold, Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi would be sworn in as president.
Jim, most of the people I know who had rabbits kept them in cages outside. One coworker had a house rabbit, who used the litter box was very clean and didn't make any noise.
KN, I'm going to ask the president of the association about some simple courtesy signs to be posted around the common (mailbox) area. It's not only smoking while standing in front of a neighbors doorway, or talking on a cellphone. Sure, small annoyances, it's disrespecting the other residents. Signs at the entry gate state It's a dog restricted community and your entry will be refused but someone on the ground floor has a small dog with a sharp bark that can be heard at 5am.
I had a cousin who worked as a waitress in a lodge located in Colorado. On her days off she often went around the neighboring countryside taking scenic photos of the landscape, especially in Autumn when the leaves turned color.
Whenever she came upon an abandoned barn, she would gather small pieces of badly weathered timber and collected large nails that were used in the construction of the barns.
She had the photos processed professionally, cut the wood into picture frames added the rusty nails and voila! Out of her labor came some cool looking artwork that sold in the gift shop at the lodge.
Merc, that's correct. One story I read states "60 percent of a contribution helps the campaign retire debt and 40 percent goes to the Republican National Committee"
Eta is drifting West from last nights forecast and expected to reach hurricane status on Wednesday. The new path appears to have it reaching close to the Florida panhandle.
