Makes one feel very small, doesnt it!. The other cool thing is that the light of some stars is so old and has been travelling for  so many light years, that the original source of of the light no longer exists. So by the time some alien sees our light we will probably be just cosmic dust! 

Now for that thorny question: Creation v Big Bang theory (not the sitcom!)

It seems to me that the US's problem now is not so much how to regulate gun sale and ownership, but how to deal with the 300 million weapons that are already out there, many in the hands of unidentified lunatics who have no respect for life. That is what breeds the fear that permeates American society.

I have the same error message with  www.chordie.com, but if you go to straight to the forum link, or your song book link, it works ok

Hey Bushy, All the best from across the pond, You probably thought it was the end of the world after all, it's excellent news you have come through and on the mend.

We had Aussi-style temperatures here for Christmas day, getting up to 30 deg down here in Dunedin at the bottom of NZ.  I had to have some extra beers just to remain hydrated!!

Hopefully you will be able to "catch up" before too long. All the best

Merry Christmas everyone. we are finally in the middle of summer down here in NZ so all looking good for a hot Christmas day! A cold beer under a shady tree after Christmas dinner is all I ask for!

Or do what my son does for his rock band - rent a bit of space in a deserted warehouse really cheaply, in a location where noise dont matter. Add some accessories like a couch and a beer fridge, and its as  good as home!

My daughter has just finished high school FOR EVER, so now she thinks she is an adult, and has no curfews or rules. WRONG!!. She hasnt yet realised that with adulthood comes adult reponsibilities and decsions. But i guess life experience is all about learning that for yourself, and even making a few mistakes along the way. At 57 I'm still doing that!!.

So I wonder how many Chordians around the world right now are looking at their hands to see if their fingers have stretched. It worked ith me!
Isnt it amazing - the power of the internet. I guess if you started a story that Scotsmen were prone to webbing between their toes because of the cold damp weather, youwould be surprised at the number of people who would believe it. Oh My God, my toes...

Now thats what I call a real martyr. Selling your beloved Gits for the wife. Wow!

Yeh, there is never enough time for guitar play'n. Usually I'll get in an hour or so in the evening, or on a wet weekend. I'll make the most of any time when the rest of the family is out. Us and friends also have regular music party nights such as St Patricks Day (for Irish music), Robbie Burns birthday (for Scottish music, RB poetry, and whisky and haggis). My son has a very heavy rock band, so every now and then i take a trip down 1970's rock memory lane and join in on some retro stuff. As Astro says, you gotta make the music while u can.

Im a "Trekky" since it began on TV in the 60's, loved all the later Star Trek movies. Also a fan of Braveheart, Walk the Line, and Ray, the movie about Ray Charles
