    Tailgaters on the Road

    Spoken like someone who actually believes he is within his rights to openly violate the law by going over the speed limit. In fact, nobody has that right. It makes me happy to see people get speeding tickets, because they deserve it, and I wish more would get caught. No, driving at the speed...

    Have I been stood up?

    Married women are 100% off limits. There is something creepy about dating a woman young enough to be my daughter (or old enough to be my mother.) I have always thought that +/- 10 years of my age is best. (Nothing that I have written would creep anybody out.)

    And so far, nobody has shot you.:eek:

    Tailgaters on the Road

    I hate it when people equate going the speed limit with going slow. It is actually the maximum speed. If someone wants to go over, that is their prerogative, but they shouldn't expect me to go out of my way to make it eaier for them.

    Top 10 Guitar Players all genres

    I have heard some amazing guitar far outside of popular genres like rock and jazz. Michael Hedges (new age), Armik (flamenco), Leo Kottke (folk/bluegrass), and Ali Farka Toure (blues) all come to mind.

    3 Favorite Classical Pieces

    Thank you for all the effort you went to to compile such a detailed list. I may try some of the items on it but, as I said, I am not sure that classical is going to be an avenue that I pursue at all. As for my system, I am happy with the all Cambridge setup I have now, but that is always...

    Have I been stood up?

    The vast majority of "office hotties" here are married. The rest are too young for me by a wide margin.:cool:

    Once again: what are you listening to now?

    One of my all-time favorite bands.

    Have I been stood up?

    I didn't mean to imply that I would act cold, just not pushy or overeager. Better to let her volunteer an explanation than to press her for one. As for "other fish in the sea", that is true, but I happen to really like this particular fish. (Also, it is not so easy at my age. Many or most of...

    Have I been stood up?

    I am always in that bookstore on Saturday, and she often works then. I am going to try to avoid saying anything, and just see how she reacts when she sees me. As Strat said, if she lost the address she will surely say so then. If I meet someone else I want to date between now and then, I will...

    Top 10 Guitar Players all genres

    I am familiar with Jeff Healy by name, but haven't actually heard his work. I suppose sales of his records will increase now, which seems rather morbid.

    Tailgaters on the Road

    The only time I tailgate is if someone passes me, pulls in front of me, then slows down. I hate that enough that I refuse to slow down unless I am literally about to hit them. I have learned to avoid expressing my opinion of other drivers with hand gestures (:D). The last time I did that, the...

    Have I been stood up?

    In my mind dinner seems pretty neutral, but I will take it from you experts and offer coffee next time. The next question is whether to immediately seek another opportunity, or give Angela (that is her name) more time to respond first. I am likely to see her at the bookstore next Saturday...

    Have I been stood up?

    That is good advice. Asking a woman out is difficult for me, as I get nervous (almost like when I was a teenager, except that I stopped being a teenager many years ago.) Now that I have gotten over the initial block, the next one should be easier. I just hope it will be someone who says "yes" or...

    Have I been stood up?

    She was at work. There were other customers in line behind me.

    wendy's shooting down Stratman's way

    I think that part of the problem is that the media gives these maniacs exposure, which is what they want. If coverage mentioned only the victims, and left the shooter anonymous, it might remove some of the motivation. (When the school shooting happened in Springfield, Oregon, I was a substitute...

    Have I been stood up?

    That is an excellent point. She has seen me there often enough to know for sure that she will see me there again.

    Have I been stood up?

    I have been out of the dating game a long time (too long!:(), and I don't know the modern "rules". On Saturday, I got up the nerve to ask a lady at the bookstore to dinner (I have only spoken to her, briefly, a couple of times.) Her response was to take down my email address and promise to...

    Should I Bi-Amp?

    The mere fact that not all good speaker manufacturers see fit to offer biamping as an option is sufficient to show that its benefits are dubious, at best.

    Should I Bi-Amp?

    I would certainly think so.
