  1. johniam, yes, he's playing with them and sounds great. if you have a chance to see them do it if you like their music. their entire lineup is exceptional. you can check their schedule out at their site, towerofpower.com corrydj, their drummer Dave Garibaldi is/was a grad. Skip Mesquite, sax player of the original lineup, also. I've enjoyed the songs of Jars of Clay and Audio Adrenaline. It's good stuff. Lots of good music!

  2. Sounds like a great time, corrydj. I'm familiar with some of the music you mention, and there's some good stuff happening. I would agree with you, there is a lot of good being done throughout the world in many Christian corners-vibrant, good, heart-felt things. It's invigorating to hear your comments and experience! I checked out "Hillsongs" out of Australia several years ago, and from the first time I heard a tape of their music, I had a similar reaction to yours here. It just knocked me back. All I could think was "WOW!" Their music was very powerful, well produced, good scoring and arranging, just well built pop music. My daughter and a group from a local church went there a couple years to an annual get together, attended some music workshops (she plays drums) and had a blast. While we're not members, we were enlightened by the experience. I too wish that the Way would raise their eyes up and see what's out going on in the fields beyond the corn in Ohio. "Sincerity" was always one of those buzz-kill words that red flagged anyone's efforts as being sub-standard. I can picture Wayfers reading your words and thinking "but it's no guarantee for truth!" Yet, those people you saw were out, working hard, doing what they believed was right and at some personal expense to boot, not holed up in solitude enetertaining themselves like some Pharisees-on-bingo-night. Thanks for posting that! Sounds like your were busy! We're all heading to see Tower of Power tonight, up here in northern California. Can't wait! Love that funk. -------------- Is the time/space meter needle supposed to be jumping around like that? *tap-tap*...sqwrkltpzfttt@#$%^&!!!!!!.....
  3. Happy Dad's day to all. As A Dad, thanks! This dad had fun, and although I did not expect a gift, I got a couple or two from The Kids. Including...Invader Zim and Gir stuff!!!! (fondling my stuffed Zim and Gir toys!!!) But it's about the kids, ain't it? No words can exactly say what they mean to me. Life!

  4. the board "remembers" previous post titles we've made - just got a little drop down when i went to type in that field and it gave me the most recent ones i've entered, to select from. now that's kinda cool. there's a lot of points being brought up about editing i'd never really thought about...hmmm... i'd still vote for just leaving edit on all the time, but i can see now why in some cases it could be a hassle. dunno. doesn't matter much to me either way...maybe a compromise inbetween...? 12 hours, 42 minutes and 30 seconds?

  5. lessee if this shows: :hi: and :yum: noper. went to a ubb faq page at fiveinarow dot com and saw a list of smilies supported, but maybe it's another deal altogether. not that i'm the in the greatest need or more smilies, but there were some cool ones there i'd never seen before. any idea if they're part of ubb, paw? don't want to make more work if you have to add 'em in, just wonderin' for the people who like 'em.

  6. Well, it's a snappy board. I really like the search capability. Here we are, nar' a week in to this baby, and I typed in a search for "tithe", as if I were an innie doin' research on how to be an outtie and BAM! it kicked it up a notch right to the 4 posts that used that word, and quick! UBB is swell. Laleo, I'm sure the electronic gremlins are grateful for your contributions, maybe it's just holding the thank you's until the end of the week and you'll get a big KISS and a card. I noticed it didn't come up a couple times too. Where's my card? Is the time/space meter needle supposed to be jumping around like that? *tap-tap*...sqwrkltpzfttt@#$%^&!!!!!!.....
  7. please feel free to share 'ur url's here if ya have a good one! next time you think you feel weird, go to the timecube dot com You'll feel normal immediately. don't know who it is, but it's esoteric to say the least.

  8. I'm doing good if they're the same color, Hope! No preview that I can see either, but the posts come up so quick and with that warm and friendly "thanks for contributing" message that it's not so bad.
  9. Yknow, if I start with the right sock, I know it's going to be a great day, but if I start with the left sock, it's going to be a FABulous day. "Let there be change on eaaaarth, and let it begin with you..." Just diggin' this board, gotta post gotta post!
  10. Looks like that fixed it! Lessee...yeah! We be yammin'! It changed to Dis Play and now to socks when I changed it back! Which means, I can change "socks" everyday! Thanks!
  11. Same thing musta happened to me, Sat'. I thought I put in "Dis" "Play" as my display name, but I guess not. Now I've got the asterik and no field to enter it or change it, can't edit my profile with witty sayings.
  12. Ain't it though? Glad u liked it! We try typing in anyword.com and see what comes up. Most domain names are taken, although it's surprising some that aren't or aren't anymore. spleen.com is taken for example. Go figure. trucks dot com is a good one if you're in to trucks.
  13. Let's see where it lands. Interesting comments, Hope. Hmmm...maybe. Dunno. I've always had a ying/yang thing going in my personality. Like, when I was about 11, knee deep in Catholic Parochial education, I decided that being a priest would be cool. I was a fairly serious thinker (then as now I guess) and I figured, "if anyone understands what all this is about, priests do". Kids, huh? At the same time, same year, I was raisin' serious Cain with my teachers, askin' questions like "why are we so sure there's a heaven"? and "how do we know there's a God"? It got so "bad" that mid year or so the Sistern called my parents in to talk to them about how I was developing "Communist" views...! No kidding, really happened. 11 years old, I'm a communist, right? Pass the vodka! So here I am, a kid, looking for "answers" and thinking I'll be a priest, and at the same time I was questioning openly the whole religious thing. Later in high school, I met a priest, "Father Donovan", who told me he'd quit high school in Ireland and hitchhiked around Europe for a few years, questioning everything he'd been raised to believe and finally came back to the Catholic faith. So there he was, and he actually encouraged me to a/question everything and b/definitely wait to even think about being a priest, till I'd had a chance to grow up a little. By then I wasn't interested, (I was surrounded by Catholic girls in pleated skirts!) but it was interesting advice. So long story longer, I've found I've always been kind of like that. A non-joiner who likes to join things and then try to change them. Doesn't make sense, does it? So now I don't look to join anything. If something comes along I want to be a part of, I do it, but I'm really careful about making committments because I know how I am. I work hard and heavy on things I believe in but I also know things change - they're supposed to I think. I personally believe that the one thing that doesn't is "love", definable on any number of levels. That's all I'm looking to carry away to the last moment I take a breath. And maybe a hug or two and a nice guitar in hand, if I have my druthers... I place highest on my list of "things I belong to" my family, our kids, marriage, and friends (which is just about anybody that doesn't try to screw me) and that's about it. "Intangible assets" I guess. Hmmm...nother long post, not much said. But it's something...let's all sing a song...
  14. Lay something on us Steve! I spent most of the day going squinting at a humongous form going: maybe this is it... doh! ok, this is probably... doh! maybe this will work... doh! maybe a ciggie will help... doh! i'll delete and start over... doh! maybe... hey it works...what did I do???????
  15. Hey Krys, glad u liked that one! banner marquees are fun. The blink /blink tag makes text blink, doesn't work here though, think it's only visible on certain browsers, maybe netscape, ferget which. /jr
  16. Thank GOD there's a warning! Sweet jumpin' jelly beans! Cover those yungin's eyes, Marbella!
  17. Ok, not sure if this is "Da Spot" for this but here goes - I'm always trading website url's with friends, places that have unique things, crazy stuff, the weird, the wacky. It's unbelievable what's on the Web. I like The Lifesaver's Candystand site. If you go there, check out the Billiards Game. It's a pretty near functional pool game played with your mouse, and can be played with 1 or 2 players, I may be the last one to hear about it, but I thought it was cool so if you haven't, you might want to check it out!
  18. Ok,I feel better now, Suz, thanks for responding...a few people have mentioned it lately and I wondered if, in my never ending quest to goof around, I'd made someone feel bad. (You mean it's not all about ME???) I hear ya...thanks! and to anyone else the same stands. aunnghhhh! ooooowwwww! It's not the crawling that hurts.... unnnghhh, aiyooowwwwww! It's this da#@&!!! glass....!!! Like your swell half, George. I don't know that he and I agree when it comes to some things, but I've always felt you both sound like cool human beings. That's what it comes down to really. I don't agree on most things with my best friends. Except for Mrs. Socks, with whom I agree on everything she says.
  19. I vote for that, makes it as simple as possible. Shoot, once this board gets rolling, it'll be like GS, so many threads I can't find anything from last week anyway...oh wait! We have a SEARCH feature now that B]works[/b] ....! Still vote for editability ad infinitum, but I will abide by whatever the Great GreaseSpot in the Sky decides in His great wisdom. By the way, if I offended anyone with my "Spellerman" post awhile back, I apologize. It was just a comment, and I certainly don't give more than a 1/4 rats a$$ about spelling or think less of anyone for something like that, it was just a suggescthun. See? I can't type worth a shiste, so that's why I personally tend to correct over and over because otherwise it'd read like dog-latin. love
  20. Tell George congrats on hitting the Big Five-Oh!
