There’s little point in talking to yourself. While one cannot deny the veracity of this statement, it must be realized that quite often, nobody wants to hear your opinion. Rather, they want to hear their opinion coming out of your mouth... :wink: Ah well...onward and upward. Cheers, y'all!

What a fun song! I'm sure you will do it well.

I think trying to get the stories down is a great idea. My mother, while she was working took time on her lunch hour to type up family vignettes. They rambled from one topic to another, one child to another, one crazy thing to the next. They are priceless, both in their telling of my family's story,...

Our State Legislators--some of whom Ms. Lebwohl and I know personally--are already solving that problem. Austin and Dallas are bad enough; we are making sure they don't spread. ...by enforcing legislative distancing away from the norms of democracy? That's one effective way of stopping the spread o...

I'm a professor of music, with a specialization in voice. Been doing it for over 20 years, and my students make me proud.

In academia, schools are extending Spring Break for students to two weeks. At my college, faculty will return in one, and spend the second week getting everything we can online. My lecture classes will be easy, as I teach those online already. Voice lessons will be possible, but not great as the mic...

Say what you want. But this year, for the first time in 20 years, DST brought me an hour CLOSER to Spring Break instead of stealing an hour FROM Spring Break.

I will take that as a WIN!!!!

Nah, cancer is nowhere near fast enough to make a difference in terms of killing people. If you really want to help the environment, don't have children. :D --A While there is some truth to this (i.e. less Pampers in the landfill and less competition for resources) one must take into consideration ...

Acquitted on both counts, as was expected.

Sigh...Next....

Well...if you change the rhythms because now you can SEE them, you are going to lose your street cred. LOL!

I finally uploaded the song I was working on last year. I still wish there were better transitions between the parts (esp. parts 3-4), and the end needs to be rerecorded, but I put the song away for a while during my divorce, haven't had the heart to work on it for a while. Anyway, it's about bipol...

Nice job, Hashi. Earworm downloaded!

So...if the government taxed the shit out of Blueface, who has a net worth of over $4 million, and then gave that money directly to the homeless on Skid Row these people would be praising that as "advancing social justice" or "socialism in action". However, if he gives them the ...

What if Zelensky testified before the impeachment inquiry? Would they allow that, or listen to him?

Does anyone think he would be asked?

Z, While I agree with much that you say, Trump's welcome to D.C. is a lot of what greeted Obama. (Our Job is to make him a 1 term president, Birthers, etc.). Though I will give you that B.O. had the assistance of much of the press. And while I was not a fan of his policies, Obama was not the Spinnin...

The main point is this: today is 16 October 2019 and next year's Election Day is 10 November 2020. If they are going to impeach him, they need to do so before the campaign season kicks in to high gear in early January. I get your point. But why? If I really wanted to throw a curve ball at the sitti...

That is not the first time people have suggested seeding particulate matter into the statosphere to reduce sunlight intensity. Every time I see that mentioned I immediately think "but what of the unintended consequences"? Hashi, If memory serves, a giant volcano did that about a month ago...

Well, SB, While we can't force them to do so, we might well lead by example. Folks do what is in their interest. If we manufactured the reactors (as suggested in the article), it would be where part of the economy that would be missing would go. And if they were affordable, they might save them mone...

"It became increasingly obvious to the Avian Overlords circling the third rock from Sol, that they had made a huge mistake aiming the croquet ball from the Zebulon Galaxy to careen into this proto-planet. The Giant, Flying Raptors refused to leave the atmosphere. The Dactyls of Terra had bashfu...
