=====================
->  -> Truth. The kids have the muscle but not the brains.
->  RH> Or at least not the training.  A friend's 9 year-old played some of
->  RH> the percussion instruments in church on Sunday.
-> 
-> We weren't talking about performing, we're talking about
-> getting vast quantities of electronics hooked up together to
-> produce something that sounds halfway decent.
-> 
True, but you have to start somewhere.  

->  -> makes us sound, as some of you know, as much like a rock band
->  -> as an orchestra.
->  RH> And this is a bad thing because?
-> 
-> Because it's a bad thing. Want to make something of it?

Only if it's fun.  I like rock bands, and I've heard chamber music/jazz
fusions before.  Symphonic rock is generally a bit overblown and full of
itself... but rock-mixed orchestral might be rather interesting.
  
->  RH> The board of directors (apparently) wants to go to a fixed price
->  RH> format for the most part, yes I am and no there isn't.  Yet.  If
Google
->  RH> gets smart and sets up an auction site it may kill Ebay.  
-> 
-> The litigation will be spectacular to watch, though I can't
-> see that eBay's method of doing business should be intellectual
-> property.
-> 
It isn't.  There are a bunch of new auction sites out there.  As long as
they don't use Ebay's software without permission they're fine.  

->  RH> Braised short ribs...yum.  I've got meat loaf in the oven at the
->  RH> moment, made of real beef.
-> 
-> No argument with either of those dishes.

You would have, if you'd tasted Mom's version. (V8 juice and oatmeal...
ecch.)
 
->  RH> Homemade veggie burgers that don't pretend
->  RH> to be anything else can be really good if done right.
-> 
-> Who on earth would want to make veggie burgers from scratch?
-> 
Someone who didn't know any better.  

->  ->  RH> OK.  I won't make the next smart comment that pops into my
->  ->  RH> head...dumb one maybe....
->  -> [g, d, r comment excised for civility]
->  RH> Moderator-proofing yourself?  Too bad.  Dunno about you, but I
could
->  RH> use another cast iron skillet.  
-> 
-> "How can you tell the difference?"

Cast iron is black and rusts.  Stainless steel is silvery gray and doesn't. 
Bean pots may break when they collide with a skull.
 
->  RH> That figures.  Maybe you'll actually have to see a doctor about it,
->  RH> finally? (nudge nudge)  
-> 
-> I'm off doctors. Heck wid' 'em.

I'm not fond of them either. I had to go today, and was told there was
nothing they could do for me except write new scrips for my antihistamines
etc. And for this I sat in the waiting room for half an hour and had to get
on a scale?
