    @Rich said in Sold! For between $6K and $7K: So is this a Sama or IHOPS (or whatever they’re called these days?) job? No way a finish, and (mostly) new action is done stateside, then sold with delivery for $7k. Either that, or work was done…owner passed away (or downsized) and the piano was acquired by the dealer that way. Ivers and Ponds were built like tanks…still 100 years old is a 100 years old. Gotta assume there are new dampers, right? But why not list it?

    This doesn’t make sense. More risk? Price it in FFS. But the price isn’t infinity. Usually there’s some poor regulations behind things like this.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Don't be this person: @George-K said in Don't be this person: @LuFins-Dad said in Don't be this person: my feet are going under the seat in front of me. There simply is no other choice Yes, but do they protrude in front of the seat before yours? Frankly? No idea. Try not to, but if it happens? Oh well. We’ll deal with it if it becomes an issue. I can tell you - you would have to try to do that. It does not happen accidentally. It has never happened to me on hundreds of flights. I have fairly long legs as well but to get that far in that space you’d have to lean your seat back and press your legs down then scoot forward with your butt below the seat. to make them straight.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Cop Love : @George-K said in Cop Love : @LuFins-Dad said in Cop Love : So what if there’s a little blood in the back seat And dried vomitus, and other bodily fluids. This would be different from my toddler's car seat how? Well, there is the blood. You wouldn’t want to explain that, would you?

    There's a cottage industry of people who lure pedos then film a confrontation with them. I know To Catch a Predator did it before, but on youtube there's several channels dedicated to it. I watch some true crime stuff, but those sorts of preying on predator videos are a gross spectacle. Often the 'heroes' are sadists who enjoy the psychological torture of the bad guys.

    You’re essentially saying the modern world is to blame. Maybe in order to Make America Great Again you’re going to need to divest yourself of all this sinful technology and go back to living like in the 1930’s and talking funny like a foreigner attempting to sound British, not showing cleavage and keeping one foot on the floor at all times whilst in bed. I’m already half way there.

    Interesting story. Obviously a prodigy, but at what cost? She seems like she turned out okay, but still........ “He wanted more than he could get out of everybody, including me,” she said. “What would you call a person who beat you for every little mistake you made? It was miserable.” As she grew up, Slenczynska said her father forced her to practice the piano for nine hours a day while her two younger sisters played outside. Her family had moved to Paris when she was 4 so she would have access to the best teachers as she progressed in her piano studies. “I wanted to join [my sisters], but if I didn’t want to practice, I was chased around with a stick,” she said.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in For Aqua.....: Link to video You can skip the intro and go to 1:47... Most excellent. Bonus points for being funny and right. I love how it ended with French, too. Couple of parent brags. One, my daughter's pretty ahead in reading, which, cool. But even cooler than that, we were looking at a book she pulled out from the library and she said, "look, dad. THIS is an illustration. But not this. This is an image. And that's an image. And this one is an illustration." I don't think I ever even talked to her about any of this, I think she's just heard me bitching discussing important matters on some work calls.

    Is that really true that the two sides of Congress have so little communication between them? Wow! I would have thought that there would have been "draft" copies out there going both directions.

    (I dont know if it is only me, but does anyone else have problems in playing Twitter videos? I can see the Tweet, but when push play on the video, it just spins and spins and never starts. Maybe my internet?)
