Sounds worrisome. Hope everything proves okay. Maybe Dr. J. or JHoots can sugguest something...

Unlikely...but at least I'll be wasting my time in my own city instead of commuting 2 1/2 hours per day to Dearborn. (OK, I've been grumpy for the last seven months with this horrid job)

And make sure you get the K-2 versions... B-)

I like most of the stuff with Shorter/Hancock/Carter/Williams. Why not pick up that box set? Forget the exact title of it offhand. I've got all the individuals. ESP and NEFERTITI are outstanding.

Nice post. Thanks Jim! Sure hope you end up moving to Michigan in the near future, but it's probably unlikely. Thanks Dan and Evan.

Chuck......

Wes Montgomery night again, this evening... I'll throw in some greasy stuff after everyone's already had a few...

Go with the Stella... I'll be enjoying some Beam & Coke. We'll exchange a few pms this evening, Wes...

He already knows I hate his guts. I was making some calls a couple months back and unknowingly called a bank customer who grew up with my boss. "Did he have a personality back then?" I asked his childhood friend. I'm sure that one got back to him...

Haven't yet had the pleasure of "meeting" you, but Happy Birthday to you! It's nice to have some younger Organissimo members (18 years old.) Can you buy beer yet in your State?

Always has to be an unhappy guy out there somewhere....

Thanks Hans and Chuck. :rsmile:

On what? I've got some: --Carlsberg Elephant Malt Liquor (7.2% alc.) A few of those would stop a charging Rhino. --Foster's lager --Stella Artois --Carlsberg Lager --Pilsner Urquell --Hollande 1620 lager --Lowenbrau (from Munich-not the American stuff) (I believe in variety... ) I have some buds coming over this evening. Those who forewarn me that they'll drink no more than a couple tonight, get the Elephant Malt Liquor. Cheers!

National Association of Securities Dealers. It's a watchdog committee for the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission.) They're all a big bunch of Bolsheviks, just as most of corporate America is. It means I have the license to buy and sell individual stocks, bonds, munis, UITs, etc...all the crap I'll never buy and sell anyway. I just need the certification in order to get a job back in Toledo.

I've been studying for an NASD Series 7 exam over the last three weeks. It's been rough and nervewracking, especially while working for an employer whom I dislike at the same time. I needed to pass this exam in order to be marketable elsewhere. I took the six hour exam this morning and was scared to death. I needed a 70% to pass and scored 80%, but that was still too close for comrfort! Whew! I needed this; otherwise, I would remain tied to an oppressive job. I've already put some feelers out there with some other employers. Let's see how long it takes... My result page said that only 66% of those who take the exam actually pass; and the national average for those who do pass is 73%. Old Conn's still got some grey cells left... Imagine that...an old fart like me.... Every question seemed difficult. They are all tricky and require lots of thought and memory. The person or committee who designed that test is sadist for sure. Anyway, thanks everyone for putting up with my grumpiness and stress over the last few weeks. I'm getting loaded tonight....

How long did that research take you, Claude? -_-

I typed "go away!" and she just grinned and shuffled about...

Happy Birthday, Paul!!

I'd like to get a few of the single discs. I guess you sold yours already, right? Happy to see you posting again, Al.

Damn, that was a good review! Well written and funny. (I'm gonna start calling Randy a befuddled Brian Wilson....) How could a reviewer catch all that from just one show? I think he described you guys very well. Can't wait to see the band live again... What tunes did you play besides "Life Wish" and "Patterson's People?"

hey chuck, i kinda like it when you "shake " things up a bit! Me too! Remain yourself, Chuck! (As if you could possibly be someone else! )

No, not at all! I've got enough cds and books. I say get whatever expresses YOU!

Terrific idea!

Sometimes Couw gets in a good one. Of course, with all his posts, I bet his ratio still sucks!

Little late for that pal. you're not exactly timely yourself here...
