    Miss Thing's middle school band concert blew my socks off tonight! They combined with the high school's wind ensemble and percussion ensemble, which were amazing! The percussion ensemble did a Santana piece flawlessly; wind ensemble did 2 pieces all but flawlessly--sounded as good as the college band at my old school. The groups combined to finish off with the 1812 Overture. It was AWESOME! They had a crazy guy in the back working the drum for the cannon noises, and every time he was about to strike, he grinned maniacally. We're so fortunate to have such a fantastic music program in this town!

    Regarding Jennifer Aniston's house:

    "[The house] originally had his-and-hers baths, but Aniston has turned the 'his' into a spa bath with a soaking tub," the magazine reports. The article later quotes Aniston saying her new home is "like a big hug" and it "vibrates with the love that created it."

    I wonder if my husband would mind if I turned his sink into a spa bath with a soaking tub? We don't have his and her baths, only sinks. And should we tell her that the "vibrates with love" part is because Calif. is going to fall into the ocean?

    So much to do.

    AND...

    My favorite check out person at the grocery store's name is Wan. He is Chinese American - very sweet and remembers my name every week. They apparently hired a new person named Wan, so he has his last initial on his nametag now. His name is WanK.

    I could not stop giggling.

    I did not even know the word "wanker" or any derivations before signing on to this forum about a year ago. I have been corrupted. I hope you are all happy.

    Time out.

    QTT: This is the NON-sequitur thread. The rule is that no post can have anything to do with the three posts before it.

    You can get around it by whispering comments to the person to whom you want to respond.

    Carry on, my wayward son.

    It's been snowing for over 7 hours, and all we've got is 2" of snow. They keep saying it's going to get much worse "later", but "later" keeps getting later. I think we've been had. I'm going to call the weather forecaster and demand my money back!

    Hot cocoa is brimming with antioxidants – two-times more than red wine and three times more than green tea and 50 times more than cheetos, twinkies, tootsie rolls and beer. I like borscht.

    I have very little ambition. My greatest hope is to one day get my face on one of those website sidebar ads for cut rate mortgages.

    One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asks about his bill and the barber replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist is pleased and leaves the
    shop.

    When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

    Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

    T he next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

    Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop.

    The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

    And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the members of our Congress.

    Just a lovely song. And that was the time Val nearly killed herself. "VINCENT! THAT'S WORSE THAN SCHUMANN!" she thought. She didn't care she had posted a sequitur in the non-sequitur thread. She needed relief and decided to listen to a song totally 'unrelated' to Cad and CP's posts:

    Leonardo Da Vinci's Resume:



    The translation of this letter is quite remarkable:

    "Most Illustrious Lord, Having now sufficiently considered the specimens of all those who proclaim themselves skilled contrivers of instruments of war, and that the invention and operation of the said instruments are nothing different from those in common use: I shall endeavor, without prejudice to any one else, to explain myself to your Excellency, showing your Lordship my secret, and then offering them to your best pleasure and approbation to work with effect at opportune moments on all those things which, in part, shall be briefly noted below.
    1. I have a sort of extremely light and strong bridges, adapted to be most easily carried, and with them you may pursue, and at any time flee from the enemy; and others, secure and indestructible by fire and battle, easy and convenient to lift and place. Also methods of burning and destroying those of the enemy.
    2. I know how, when a place is besieged, to take the water out of the trenches, and make endless variety of bridges, and covered ways and ladders, and other machines pertaining to such expeditions.
    3. If, by reason of the height of the banks, or the strength of the place and its position, it is impossible, when besieging a place, to avail oneself of the plan of bombardment, I have methods for destroying every rock or other fortress, even if it were founded on a rock, etc.
    4. Again, I have kinds of mortars; most convenient and easy to carry; and with these I can fling small stones almost resembling a storm; and with the smoke of these cause great terror to the enemy, to his great detriment and confusion.
    5. And if the fight should be at sea I have kinds of many machines most efficient for offense and defense; and vessels which will resist the attack of the largest guns and powder and fumes.
    6. I have means by secret and tortuous mines and ways, made without noise, to reach a designated spot, even if it were needed to pass under a trench or a river.
    7. I will make covered chariots, safe and unattackable, which, entering among the enemy with their artillery, there is no body of men so great but they would break them. And behind these, infantry could follow quite unhurt and without any hindrance.
    8. In case of need I will make big guns, mortars, and light ordnance of fine and useful forms, out of the common type.
    9. Where the operation of bombardment might fail, I would contrive catapults, mangonels, trabocchi, and other machines of marvelous efficacy and not in common use. And in short, according to the variety of cases, I can contrive various and endless means of offense and defense.
    10. In times of peace I believe I can give perfect satisfaction and to the equal of any other in architecture and the composition of buildings public and private; and in guiding water from one place to another.
    11. I can carry out sculpture in marble, bronze, or clay, and also I can do in painting whatever may be done, as well as any other, be he who he may.
    Again, the bronze horse may be taken in hand, which is to be to the immortal glory and eternal honor of the prince your father of happy memory, and of the illustrious house of Sforza.

    And if any of the above-named things seem to anyone to be impossible or not feasible, I am most ready to make the experiment in your park, or in whatever place may please your Excellency - to whom I comment myself with the utmost humility, etc."

    When signing breasts? Should one put the christian name on the left, the surname on the right? Would it be bad form to incorporate the nipples into your signature? Cad has a signing to attend so needs advice... Marker, Biro, or fountain pen??
