Hi all....
Happy new year ....
It's a long time since I've been lurking, but i didn't forget any of you
Keep the good work on
No special news from my life, except my MIL she's still alive....  ohhh, well   ::) ;)
I'm really happy to meet you again Daniel!
Uhhhh....

Oh yes, I have a big news to report since the last time I've been here:
I'm a grand father again ( 3rd time ): my son and his lady have crafted a boy: Nathan, born in 2011 (October 26)

He's just as beautiful, intelligent and modest as I am  8-) 8-)
Congrats on the new addition to your extended flock TB!  :)

I thought you might be returning to provide your New Year's resolution: "I resolve that for 2007 I'll finally do something about my Alzheimer's!"  :D
Hey TB, good to see you.  It's a shame Mark isn't here to share your MIL stories with.   :)
Thank God. If there is one to thank, that is.  ;D ;D
Le tigre subtile!

Condolences on the MIL and congratulations on the grandson.

Still playing?
Hello TigerBill, good to see you posting again.

you hit the nail right on the head.  That's why Mark isn't here.  He found out there IS a God, and God told him not to come to this unholy place with all the atheists!   ;D
...and God told him not to come to this unholy place with all the atheists!   ;D


I've never talked with Mark since the wateringHole!

Here is a little clue Hook, you go out in the daylight when there are no clouds in the sky and look up. There is usually this big shining ball of light up there. That my friend is our creator, at least our "local" creator. That is not some belief, nor some old book of myth telling us all about God, that is a scientific fact. That fact is indisputable. Even the religious know that as a fact, if it explodes we are all gone, if it flames out we are all gone. If it never existed, all of the solar system, and the things within it would all never have existed. I do not know if the sun is sentient, I think the Earth is perhaps, so why not the sun as well. I don't need any book or preacher to tell me if there is a creator I know where it is and what it is. The sun.

I don't know if there is anything beyond that, it is possible, but with only my 5 senses and my intellect, I cannot perceive anything beyond. I know there are other things beyond our senses like ultra violet, and infra red, we know that because of our machines. And they are seeing the effects of dark matter and dark energy with their machines as well, so there may just be a lot of stuff beyond what we can perceive.
Blasphemy!!!  :D

Actually a fact Craig, good thing it ain't the middle ages or I would be dancin on the lit up logs tied to the stake.
Thanks all for the kind words...
To answer some questions
Yes, I'm still playing.... I've a new axe for 6 months now: a Godin A6 Ultra plugged in a brand new Roland AC60. I'm selling ALL my other gear: Alvarez AD62SC, Variax 500, Flextone III and POD XT Live.
I've no use of all that stuff anymore: I'm working at home on many tunes from Tommy Emmanuel: I'll be dead before I can play just only one without a mistake.. Oh, well !!! :o

My MIL is still alive, and THAT is a proof god doesn't exist, IMHO  ;) 8-):-))

Happy new year all.
I think I gave mine a heart attack. Mean ole bitch didn't die, she's to mean to die.  ;D Long story, but I think my ex wife called her bitching about me and it pissed her off enough to have a heart attack.  ;D No shit.
