BERIGAN

Thanks again for all the suggestions! I am really going out to LA for the service of my cousin who died of Cancer. My Mom isn't able to travel(When Mom found out she had Cancer last year, her Niece didn't even know she herself had a very rare form of Kidney Cancer, seemed to be in good health-doctors had been treating her for Kidney stones for years ) so I am going in her place. Thought that even though it seemed a bit strange to make this a vacation, since I was paying to fly 3000 miles, might as well do try to do something pleasant as well. I'll try to leave any Mosaics behind, though if I find the Charlie Ventura/Flip Phillips set, all bets are off!

A different version of the Paypal email, acting like you have paid for something you haven't...anyone else get one like this???

never heard of him before finding a 99 cent cd in a sam goody bin. He looked a bit like Bix at least on this one cover.(If Bix was trying to look mean! ) Seems he was just about the earliest avant guard American composer, if we are to believe what we read on the web...I like what I have heard so far....here is another story on him.... http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20...73617-4256r.htm So, gotta believe the way many on this board are up on music in and outside the world of jazz, someone has heard of him, or is a fan....

And we were without power for 9 hours....

Oh, I can delete it if I want, but it is kinda like a Berigan roast thread.... You can see why I missed the drop down menu, it is on the lower left hand corner(Even though B3-er says it is on the right) and I never look to the left.....

but there is no humidity!

Thanks guys! So...should I go to Amoeba? I have only heard of the store, but I will make a point of going there...and if I have any money left, the other stores as well!

Well, what is left of the late, unlamented Frances knocked our power off from 3 am till Noon! We, and a few hundred thousand were in the same boat in the ATL. Mom didn't get her radiation treatment Monday cuz of the holiday, then the storm kept her from getting it today(You are supposed to get 5 treatments a week) Makes you wonder how many folks in the middle of Cancer treatments in Florida had their schedules all screwed up!

Where are the best brothels...no wait, best cd stores for a jazz fan???? I was last out that way in 1998, and was drooling over all the stuff at the tower outlet on...on...hell, don't remember it was 6 years ago, Sunset? It was near the regular Tower and book outlet. All the outlet stores are gone, right? So, advice??? TIA!

Oh, and it is on the bottom left...a non mac thing????

but, I am not a moderator! Perhaps it should be entitled topic deletion?

to be your new avatar! Though I like your present avatar a fair bit as well, this could be a back-up one, one to pull out on weekends or holidays....

confound it! How do I delete a thread??? I only see Track this topic | Email this topic | Print this topic...where is the magic delete a thread button????

Hey!!!! We were told we here in the ATL were going to miss most of Frances just yesterday, now were are told to expect 4-6 inches of rain, and is going to go right over us(I know, it is just a sissy storm now, but tons o' rain still in it). And it is quite windy.

Phallic symbols, of course!

A friend of mine says to slow witted drivers..."Come on Nelly numb nut!!!" I don't know why, it just cracks me up...and I say it myself, and it keeps me from running them off the road!

I am getting 3-4 of these emails a day now...I do notice that the fake emails may have my email address, but they don't know the name, just say, dear ebay user. IF ebay, or Paypal does send a "real" email to me, they use my name. What is funny, is that even the real emails have links that have fake looking addresses!

Frankly, Berigan, I am incapable of caring about someone who doesn't care about themselves enough to stay alive. I am especially incapable of caring about someone who is narcissistic enough to kill themselves so publicly. I didn't need to see that shit, nor did the firefighters who scrapped him off the sidewalk. Take some fucking pills if you're going to do that. And here everyone thought *I* was the bleeding heart type... You never, ever can know what is truly going on in someone's head. I had a good friend end her life like this a few years back. And yet, her last emails to me were the most positive she had ever written. I later found out that when she moved back to France, the doctors there thought the American doctors were over-medicating her, and cut her anti-depressants way back. Her sister said she was having strange visions before she died. Have no knowledge as to what was going on in this woman's mind, but whether her death was to be public or not might not have been a thought she was capable of at the time. I imagine her parents and friends are going through hell right now.....6th NYU student to kill themselves this year! http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/ny-...p-regional-wire

Somehow, I am missing the humor in someone jumping to their death.....

Those scammers seem to spot me miles away! It seems every few months I will run into this at a gas station, Media Play or even at the friendly neighborhood Steak N' Shake! I think driving a 30+ year old car makes 'em think I am more likely to help someone else who is not rich......plus, they can smell my compassionate Conservatism! I too have been without funds in my wallet with some of these guys, or say I only have a dollar...they take it...The guy at the steak N' Shake was quite the salesman, he had his work truck with him, he was a "Christian" and of course with 2 children far, far from home. Oh, the truck wasn't really with him, or the kids...(they were safe at the church up the road)truck was at the repair shop just down the road as well...the mean ol' repair shop didn't take out of state checks, and he didn't have his debit card with him! He had been trying to contact his boss by phone to get him to wire some money, but hadn't gotten him so far. He was going to have to earn the money from me, 20 question time! Asked him what was wrong with the truck. Bastard saw my old car, figured I knew a thing or two about old cars, so hit me with some computer related problem! My brain is racing, is this redneck telling me the truth? Or is he making more money a day than I do? Well, being quite good at this, he peppers me with questions as well, about my car, Steak N' Shake, etc...."God bless me" he said more than once(Yeah, God could bless me by having you fall in a pit of snakes if you are lying to me bud!) I thought if we were outside the restaurant long enough, he would look for a better target to grift. No such luck...I am getting hungry so I say,"Hey, try to call the boss again while I order some food. So, I order inside, he goes to the phone in back...nope, the boss isn't there....damn...ok, I give him 9 bucks back from my twenty. Now I am broke. "God bless you, God bless you!" No pit opened up. Once he leaves, I start to think of questions to ask...Hey, that's not a church he pointed at anymore, that's where the cemetery is! I could have offered to go up the road to see if I could talk the repair shop into calling the bank on his check to prove it was a valid account and all...sigh....that guy was good at the game....I hope his filet was tough that night....

deus62, have you used one, I mean played around with one at a friend's house, or at a store? I have friend who like all mac users seems to have taken a blood oath or something to convert all non-mac users...anywho, I hate the damn mac mouse, I can work much faster with a real mouse....there....I feel better...all the damn pro-mac posts were making me sick!

Hope all the folks in FL are OK! The feeder bands are already really hitting West Palm Beach, and my Dad heard parts of Florida might get 20 inches of rain before this slow moving storm is through, which would be beyond bad!!!!

Man, what happened to Ron????
