My trick is I purposely spell stuff wrong if I don't know how and let spell check correct it. Its why I only have a Liberal Arts degree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) I worked a few blocks from Madison Square Garden. When the Dead were playing at the Garden, those buses were everywhere. Edited July 28, 2023 by gearbasher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 20 hours ago, DanvillRob said: That's one of the issues with dog racing..... when a greyhound gets old, injured or isn't 'fast enough', they are often simply killed off. There are only so many homes for retired greyhounds. I just checked this out in the uk. While there are many charities set up to care for and rehome greyhounds, I did find an 'Independent' (newspaper) article suggesting that 1 in 8 retired dogs are unaccounted for. On the whole then, there's not a lot in it for the dog, and I would not support or commend the 'sport' at all. I would though consider homing a retired greyhound at some stage. They do make good pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do make good pets. I'm with you..... even though those dogs love to run, the 'glory' of the sport eludes them. If you ever get a greyhound, they're not good for going on jobs or bike rides with you....while they can run VERY fast.....they run out of steam quickly. I thought of adopting one once.... they could cover my yard is seconds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I was raised in a city/town just south of Baltimore and a little north of Annapolis called Glen Burnie. We were the butt of many jokes by people who didn't live there. I have great memories and still keep in touch with quite a few people I grew up and went to school with. It's a mixed area, and I was lucky to have only gotten into mild trouble and didn't die young like some others did. I actually work for one of my oldest friends from GB in his machine shop behind the house he grew up in and it's within walking distance from my old house. There was a brief time in 1992 when I lived in Wilmington DE and worked in Philadelphia. My wife and I bought a house in Pasadena MD in 1993 and are still there. It's about 20 minutes from work and my old neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as early as I can remember I always loved listening to music and songs. But it was in the 9th Grade when I got an electric guitar, a no-name LP copy. Started taking some lessons and from then I have always played guitar. I learned pretty quickly, but I was never one of those guys who practiced hours a day. It wasn't until about 1994 when I was a young adult with a wife and 2 kids that I started a weekly jam with some work mates and my buddy, mentioned previously who I now work for, and the jams led to a band which led to other bands and so on to this day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I grew up mostly in southern Cal, at 5 someone gave a me Mousekateer guitar with crank on it. Banged on the family piano when ever they let me touch it. Started drums in grade school. At 8 I built a crystal radio that I started listening to it all night. Then at 12 I got a Christmas guitar, not too much later I had to get my first electric. In 64 at 14 my first bass and played my first paying gig for a Frat party. Shortly later I bought my first USA built guitar, an Epiphone. Edited August 4, 2023 by mihcmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
