Re: This is getting a bit old

The good news is that even if it never shows (it most likely will sometime this week), it's now available on ebay.

Why the sellers seem to think folks will pony up $24 for a disc you can snag at most walmarts across the country for $12 is a bit beyond my comprehension, but it's there anyway....

Re: This is getting a bit old

Actually, thinking deeper about it.....it's your fault, not Margaritaville's. Don't hate me yet. You bought it from Margaritaville. Walmart is offering it cheaper. Margaritaville doesn't set the retail price, the store does. Walmart paid a wholesale price for it, and is free to charge whatever they...

Re: This is getting a bit old

"Phony outrage" in general is getting old. Walmart hatred is much to do about nothin' imo. I'll have to hit Wally World later and pick it up. Excuse me? I never used the word outrage. And I think to point blank call someone phony is a bit, well, rude. I also never said I hate Walmart. I s...

Re: This is getting a bit old

It's not really even an issue of shopping around. It's about JB's outfit (Margaritaville) preselling the item for $14.98 to get folks to buy early, and then rewarding them by lowering the price through the same outlet (Margaritaville). It's not about the $3. I can afford the $3. It's about whether o...

This is getting a bit old

Since I'm not a fan of Walmart, I jumped at the Margaritaville pre-sale of the Encores CD. List price was $14.98. Let's face it...only fans pre-order CDs. But I did. Since it released today, I went over to check and see if the order shipped. Not really sure if the CD shipped, but I did notice that m...

Re: Texas school set to begin work on $60M stadium

There are actually situations in Texas where parents intentionally hold their child back in elementary school a year so that they'll be bigger in high school for football. Now, that's some serious planning.

Re: Texas school set to begin work on $60M stadium

I lived in Allen for several years. This is not a big surprise. Those people love their football. If you want to eat out and not wait to be seated, go on a home football night. The restuarants are ghostowns. Each year before the season starts there is a parade. The 600+ member marching band marches ...

Re: Who's Going to Great Woods June 17th Thursday...

Just curious, do we know where Jimmy goes or what he does between the shows on Thursday and Saturday? Nantucket to fish? Flies back to Long Island? Do they stay at a hotel in Boston? Not that it is really any of my business but he must have some way of recharging his batteries between shows. I thin...

Re: encores!

Hopefully we'll be able to order it from mailboat records. usually the pre-order is up by now. If it's only available through walmart, looks like I'll have to do without.

Re: Need some legal advice

So I'm assuming that Mom & Grandma aren't going to be really thrilled with this suggestion, right? Yes, the kid can ask a judge to allow him to live with a non-custodial parent who surrendered rights. Most likely, if the judge finds there's an issue with the current arrangement, the kid will end...

Re: best place to see jimmy?

The best place I saw Jimmy was in Newport RI at the Folks Festival in 2008. Lots of folks left when he started (guess they didn't enjoy their kids hearing why don't we get drunk). He started in late afternoon, and sang about pirates and boats as we sat right on the water and watched boats go by. Sun...

Re: Just a note of thanks to Mr. Buffett from a longtime fan

Sorry to hear about your loss. Been down that road, not an enjoyable journey at all.

The best advice I got during the entire experience was "while it never stops hurting, it does stop hurting quite so often."

Best wishes as you and your family walk this path together.
