Once I was in Barnes & Noble and I found a sealed RVG of a Horace Silver cd, but the back had the credits for Donald Byrd, "Byrd in Hand!" I took the cd to the girl at the counter and told her that she would have to make up her mind as to which cd she was selling!

This is why people have to open their cds! Don't keep em sealed. You never know what might be inside!

You mean you didn't burn it before you sent it back?

Yes!

I bet Alex, the pacifist voted for "let bygones be bygones..."

I've bought from Frank before. He's got good stuff!

I agree. "Soul Stirrin" is one of my favorite cds.

Bradford, aren't you supposed to be watching for Grey threads?

I respectfully disagree, John. When you are paid by commissions, it is imperative to reciprocate in either referrals or in terms of expressing your gratitude. Sounds to me like the lady is a shit! There are a lot of money-grubbing selfish people in commissioned sales positions. Her actions do not speak highly of her. I would not send valued referrals over there at all.

Great going Vic!! You are a lucky man indeed. ABK (Anybody but Kerry!)

I've given lots of referrals to professionals in the past who rarely reciprocated. I got so used to it that I never bothered to dwell on it. Those referrals of yours, Peter, amounted to some big commissions. I would simply cut off the referral relationship pronto. You could say something to her if you like, but I wouldn't bother. I'd just cut off the referrals. If someone does not pay attention to the important but discretionary details like "thank yous" then I would question that person's devotion to other details as well. It's a worrisome sign for sure. If someone gave me a referral which resulted in a big sale, I'd take them out to dinner at least! Give her the big boot!

Lon, You're not in Colonial Africa any more!

I hope the stuff they put on my lawn hurts my neighbor's dog who likes to leave his souvenirs on my lawn. The company just leaves a note saying keep all pets off the grass for a couple hours after application. Again, I don't know how accurate it all is. My cat's still alive.

Hey look, Paul, Why doncha just pay a company to weed-and-feed it? The directions you are getting on this thread seem awfully detailed and complcated. I pay a lawn company around $200-300/year to weed and feed. Is this extravagant?

Why don't you know? It's the process of distributing trombone spittle on your back lawn.

Happy Birthday to my favorite misguided one!

So accurate!

That Farmer/Golson is a great cd. Why sell it, Hoots?

My diet approximates Scott's. (Just about! )

Never fear, Tony's here!

No, I think you got it right the first time. They're slime.

Ahem! I have one of those cheap VCRs which has lasted at least five years! Of course, maybe they aren't made as well now, plus maybe I just got lucky or, I don't really use it that much. That might explain it. B)

I'm regularly enjoying my green-ringed fruits of Moose's "momentary lapse", and I say it DOES count! Thanks again for parting with it, M. Nothing ill intended, sj...

Here it is: "El Sonido Nuevo" Hope that's spelled right. Had to go by memory.
