The World economy, inflation, etc. pinches the wallet sure, but not to the degree to stop the main subject activity here. What absolutely DOES put a major crimp on things is stuff like having to fork out $1000 last week alone on annual deductibles and co-pays for pharmacy and dental. First of the year is always rough for that. And the major crimp will be next month giving the feds $5000 more than the plenty I have already paid them. Economy meh. Taxes and insurance, oh yeah. Perhaps just me.

Congrats oldertruckguy!! 44 and Capital Peak no less - definitely earns the right to brag! In February to boot!

And while I am here, how about a pretty good version of a classic Allman Brothers tune. Just because (and a little more Grace)

Brand new - OK a day old - and excellent. From my fave, and Joe as a bonus. He does many collaborations but when was the last time he was not the best guitarist in the collab. IMHO

The threads previously mentioning this are kinda buried, so here we go. This IMHO is a very much needed change of law and long overdue. Amazingly it sounds like it may actually get enacted. Doesn't hurt to tell your elected ones to do it, now while they are considering. https://www.denverpost.com/2022/03/17/sex-workers-safe-reporting-colorado-legislature/

OK so the 50 year anniversary post was fun, but I also enjoy seeing the up and coming stars. Anyone hear of Grace Bowers yet? If not remember the name, you will probably hear it a lot soon. 17 and doing Stevie Ray cover. Hope someone enjoys.

Or you could take up sky diving or motorcycle racing Hi, Lucy, hope all is well other than yawns.

It occurs to me seeing their 50th anniversary live album that I have not posted any Blue Oyster Cult here before. Shame on me. I have seen them live many times over many years, and every show was excellent. Simply one of the best live rock bands. Any other fans here? Hope so, here's a couple to enjoy.

Thank you Samantha for your efforts helping Cali. I was NOT questioning that the need and the GoFundMe are legit - I KNOW they are. I was only questioning whether it was OK to include GoFundMe links in posts here. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Thanks again.

For any interested in helping there is a GoFundMe account. Not sure if link is kosher here but just go to the main GOFundMe web page click search in upper left corner and enter cali-roses and it pops up. Best wishes for a full recovery.

Unbelievable that some are trying to make excuses for the POS. He was a vile troll and out and out attempted to harass several members most notably particular ladies. There was nothing remotely funny about his pathetic crap that was frequently incomprehensible and always hateful. The only mystery being that he was not banned months ago. That and which new profile is his lol.

Go Lions!! But if the super bowl turns out to be Detroit vs Cleveland it is a sure sign of the apocalypse, just sayin.

No it is not, whatever else one may say about it, at least I have never heard credible claims of such. Crazy mix of perfectly legit, newbie no clue, scammers, rare sting, etc. - caution advised lol. Oh, and some actually pretty useful how to's - how to avoid scammers, etc. go figure. I do not see any of the alphanumerics either.

Sad that a great source of laughter has left us at a time the world could use more. I remember having to sneak watching the Smothers Brothers because it was too racy for impressionable young minds. More than once audible laughing gave me away, followed by "shut that crap off" from down the hall lol. Guess the restrictions did not work lol.

Hop ahead to 12:50 which is start of hearing. I will leave it at fascinating, but would welcome thoughts from anyone that takes the time to watch it. Most media coverage was pretty lame. News Nation has given full and fair coverage. Enjoy

If you click the link there are two more pics and a pretty good explanation of the phenomenon. It is rare but happened three days in a row!

What precisely would you have me do, Sparkey? I already clearly stated my opinion on the topic twice - pretty much same side of argument as you. It was like water off a duck with no response from ..... pretty much anyone. Your protagonist here is like talking to a Coke machine only without the possibility of getting a Coke. I prefer to go get a Coke to wasting time with him. What would you have me do - zap him with space lasers or invoke the force and choke him from afar? Alas, I cannot. If I could the world would be a much different place lol. Ignore him and like a foul smell it will go away. Merry Christmas, Sparkey.

who died and made you a mod?

All I want for Christmas is for this thread to die.

Best holiday wishes to all and special sympathy to those for whom it is hard, especially those who no longer have who they want to celebrate with.

Kali, I can't "prove" who anyone here is (well OK a few that I have met maybe) but all due respect I am 99.999 percent sure Skinnydud is NOT Hobbit. There were a couple profiles I am pretty sure were but they were banned quite a while ago. I think it would behoove both of you to call a truce - he is innocent of being Hobbit. And can we refrain from arguing in thread about Hobbit being gone. That is just too weird. I was enjoying the peace and quiet.

I just figured it was the mods Christmas present to us all. the big blue box

How about a little Iron Cross? Hey if Die Hard is a Christmas movie ......... Or maybe Daria under the tree Just a couple thoughts. Anybody else, traditional or otherwise? Favorite Christmas tunes? Little early but Merry Christmas all. Be good to each other. Pretend like you mean it.

Well then how about
