Re: Live By The Bay Video

Timothy B. Schmidt went to play with the Eagles. Josh and Vince went on to join my friend, Jim Photoglo and formed the Vinyl Kings. Josh posts on here periodically. He is a successful producer in Nashville. Jimmy has stated, in a number of different interviews that he had decided to change the direc...

Re: Longtime lurker, sometime poster seeking BN help....

Hey BayBreeze! I know you've made a tough decision and it will be for the better in the long run. Hang in there and know that you have a big support network here. Depending on what you drive, it may be cheaper to fly to Ft. Lauderdale or Tampa or Wilmington than to drive, especially when you factor ...

Re: Terrorists win again

I have to say that I find the title to this thread to be inappropriate and inaccurate. To paint any large group with such a brush based on the actions of a small group would be like saying that all Jews are terrible people because of the actions of a few extremist attacking and burning a mosque, whi...

Re: Submitting original song lyrics to JB

My late sister was the program manager for a community radio station some years ago and she would and still does (well, her widower) receives between 5 and 10 CDs every day from artists that she didn't know already. When she would attend things like Folk Alliance and sit on panels discussing what ar...

Re: Jimmy's Most Unappreciated Album

I would say that Last Mango has got to be one of the most unappreciated albums, along with High Cumberland and Down to Earth. As for Fruitcakes, I don't think it does any worse, in terms of concert plays as any number of other albums. It is one of the difficulties that an artist with such a large an...

Re: Teenage Slapping Grandma!

I work with a woman who ended up arrested on a DV charge on New Year's Eve because he didn't come home in time to take her out per their plan. He and his buddies had gone drinking instead and returned home at about 10pm, drunk. She confronted them and said something about the least he could do was c...

Re: * Warning * Image of hate inside

While I know many people think wearing a shirt with an image of the flag on it isn't the same thing as wearing clothing made out of the flag, according to the law (Flag Code), it is very specific about that as well. See sections 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10. . Respect for flag No disrespect should be shown to ...

Re: St. Thomas

Something to keep in mind if you are going to visit the BVIs and you are a US citizen, you will need your valid US passport. I really enjoy the BVIs and/or St. John far more than St. Thomas. To me, St. Thomas has some beautiful spots but that fails to overcome the crowds when the megaships arrive in...

Re: Have you ever owned one of these cars?

I have fond memories of the Mustang II. My buddy's mother had one...you would think with a name like "MUSTANG" it would have something. Truth be told, we had trouble squeeling the tires on this pooch. We did ride it pretty hard when given the opportunity however. Ah those were the days......

Re: Ferrari 599 GTO - Catch me if you can

I think I would prefer the Shelby Supercar Aero Twin Turbo http://www.2sportscars.com/shelby-supercars-ultimate-aero-fastest-car.shtml . It's faster, it's made in America and it has a great stereo system. I can think of a number of places that one could get these cars up to speed and not have to be ...

One word of caution about Prague, be aware that there are lots of pickpockets there or one guy who is really fast and stays busy 24/7. :lol: Otherwise I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Prague.

Re: Take advantage of Passport Day USA

Even though Passport Day has come and gone, I would recommend that you get a passport book and not the card. Yes, I know the book is more expensive however it gives you greater flexibility. For example, if you are on a cruise and you end up missing the boat home for some reason, like you're in the h...

Re: Man jogging on beach killed by airplane

If, as the article states, the plane was gliding, you wouldn't hear anything from the plane. And depending on how close to a road, he made have heard engine noises and thought that they were coming from the road.

Re: The census & Content of character

Personally, I'm more annoyed that the government spent tax dollars on a letter we received about 10 days ago telling us to look for the up coming census mailing. GUESS WHAT Congress - those who aren't going to send the census form back aren't going to read that letter either......that's my vent for...

If you go with a Canon DSLR and you happen to be like me and owned a 35mm Canon SLR, many of your old lenses can be used on your DSLR, which is not the case with Nikon.

Fry sauce, which is basically thousand island dressing. Failing that, a spicy mustard is really good too.
