Muddy

14 freaking degrees this morning in Hazleton PA, snow on the way and ice on the windows! I'm feeling you brother :-[

Hey Olebike, go to some blues shows, they do all the time. I saw BBKING last year at the Bethlehem PA Music Festival, it was a covered stage, but the there was a misty rain, and the microphones arced to a trumpet. He moved the band off the stage and he went way back onto the drum stand. They removed the drum kit, and there sat BB and his beloved Lucille. He said" I picked cotton in the rain, so I guess I can play in the rain! For those of you who want to listen in the rain, welcome!" Then he proceded to go through his song book, and tell the stories behind some of his greatest works. I was not the only one who sat in tears listening to that story. Blues players like BB,Muddy,Albert Collins and it goes on and on have these moments with thei fans, it is truely ovewhelming when you are there to here it in person. 8-)

MICRO! MICRO!, defecting from the ABU camp! The ecomomy is not that bad, this erractic behavior is worrisome, quick call Dr.Phil

Bydefinition all label owners are weasels ;D The guy from the coporate side I respected the most JOHN HAMMOND SR.

Geez a fella with SVR in his avatar starting a Metalica thread, what is the world coming to? :

Yea this has been in the making for a while, I am suspicious of Hollywood telling the CHESS story, so far the best cinematic telling of the whole blues story was the Scorsese Documentary. Beyonce playing Etta, I don't know about that one! Here is the real lady: ETTA JAMES This was before her surgery, BBKING put a show of legends together. When it was Etta's turn they switched the keyboard player to DR>JOHN, whom she had a shall we say past with. Look at those tears, that is live blues, it can not be staged and it connects these artists with their audience: Here is Etta recently, she has had a Bariatric Bypass singing one of her great ones AT LAST:

MUDDY HERE! I live in Hazleton, fish Mauch Chunk, The Leihigh , Susquy,Tuscarora, Lilly and a few stripping pits and ponds. OKAY where are the rest of the KEYSTONE MOOKS? 8-)

Oh this is getting a bite TIREsome

It is time to revive an old American Conspiracy and get rid of those pesky Canadians once and for all. It was widely advertised and with some support we can get this going again; Here is evidence of said conspiracy to get rid of their water supply

HEy Micro, let's go fishing ;D

Yea his limit is the bathroom floor

Hey fellas; I did not write that at all! Thats a phony Obit my friend sent me :

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack , the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

The pharmectical indusrty itslef admits this is over used, and that ADT is often a misdiagnosis. The biochemistry of syapse tranmission is different in children than adults, that is why IT GIVES THE APPERANCE of having the oppisite, but none the less addicting I have been diagnosed with depression and ADD, they made this diagnosis when i got clean, well I was depressed I couldn't get high anymore. They have always wanted to stick me with one drug or other I have never wanted to or attempted to hurt myself, I cannot keep focused on any one thing for 2 long, and my brain is a carnival some days and a dark cloud other. I am able to lead a wonderful and grateful life without their drugs!

Thanks, I did not mean that hostile, just a Brooklyn response NO BD. I am gald you work in the field and have experience > I hate getting tied up reading arm chair experts. I really appreciate the explanation, because these mooks at he hearing do not seem to know where they are

The 100G limit on insurance on deposit accounts is well known. I can't imagine anyone having that much money in a simple savings account and not being aware of this limitation. They publish it EVERYWHERE. I am not an idiot, I know this is posted in my bank also. It is how he made his remark, enough to have to answer to congress for making said remark. Thats funny , because I watched Sen. Dodd,Casey and some fella from Arizona grill him on why he said this and the cause it had the next 2 days with'"Subtanial amounts of money going from savings to CD instruments" Maybe it's just me , I thought they might know what they were talking about. I have watched almost every hearing on these matters for the last several week. What they were talking about was a remark Paulson made, where he questioned weather FDIC could actually back up all those accounts, considering the times we are in. The next 2 days, there was a considerible run and in order to aliviate fears the FDIC upped the ceiling to 250,000. As for the loans all the Harvard suit guys made: Trying to Identify what and where these, and I love this term for tanked loans:Risky instruments ;D is extremly hard as the were fractured and sold over and over again Like I said I am no expert, but I have known Kent for a long time and he is a knowledgable and sucessful man, so I will put my trust in what he has to say. BTW Tyrius: What is it that you do for a living?

Team Pampers or Huggies whatever you call yoursleves just had one point taken from them for this! ;D

Cosumerism is what was fueling this economy, and it is gone. If moeny doesn't start flowing, and the banks do not "trickle down" that capital and Paulson is not corraled we are in trouble Let me ask you a question, when Paulson yelled FIRE and called attention to the fact that svings accounts over 100 G's were not safe, but the money market was, do you think he helped banks, ddo you think he did not know the potential of fueling a run on banks,do you think he didnt know that people would get thier accounts down to under a 100G's and feed those money market accounts ? What has this got to do with the precious stock market? The same caliber of shoe salesman and thieves are running the game over there, and they have decieved America, they are no longer trust worthy. It is too easily manipulted from TV guru's yelling Booyah to falisifed balance sheets from these mega corporations, they are no longer credible and to be trusted. The rules have chaged. Lack of confidence, lack of a credit flow much longer and the collapse of major corporations along with the resultant decline of real estate and building can put this country into a depression Granted I am not an expert and just learing about all this stuff, But back in the spring when I dared print the word recession I was called chicken little here, so my fears are not different from many other blue collar guys Forgive me if I do not post here anymore , on this thread, I need to walk away from this as to not get too edgy, I stated my point and I am going back to the business of TEAM DEPENDS! :

;D At first I thought this was going to be about Pennsylvania :

Geez Kent; I really trust a lot of what you say, because it aligns with what I have learned in some recent courses. I am no where near knowledgable to make predictions myself. I have feared that what you just stated might be on the horizion and now my stomach is doing flip _ flops. You are not the chicken little type, and my worst fears are being vailidated :-/

Maybe they can use some of that tax money to get you fellas up there a major league pitcher or two

800 - 1000mg of Ibuprophen 4 times a day. I used this dose aftewr my bariatric bypass. I told them I was in recovery they gave me a huge quantity of Oxycotin, and they said I would be on it for a month then detox with methadone. I TOLD THEM I WAS IN RECOVERy and I do not think they were feeling it. I got home, threw the nacotic out and friends stayed with me 24/7 for 2 wweks. I did not want to be any kind of hero, but I fear active addiction more than death. I got through and they did not believe it could be done.

So Thats why female bass prefer vibrating baits!

I have been a member of a 12 step program for 16 1/6 years, and by no coincidince I have been clean 16 1/2 years 1 Cause of relapse : Pain and Pycotropic drugs, Teating an addict with drugs is like giving cyanide to a poisin patient!
