Congrat's, Ed. 41 years of marriage is a good thing. And just think of all the rewards that will be coming your way once the "new" kitchen is put together. Just a thought, go out tonight and get you a bucket of fried chicken, do a google search and find you a "fireplace" app for you cell phone, turn the kitchen lights way down low, place the cell phone with the "fireplace" app on the kitchen table right between them paper plates, pop the top on a nice box of wine - it don't anymore romantical than that. Enjoy.

Don't feel too bad, just a lotta fluid on my right lung. Not having as much breathing problems as I was and I able to sleep laying down, now. The doctor said yesterday evening that they were going to take another chest x-ray this morning and depending on what it shows I MIGHT be able to get outta here if I promise to stay home and outta the weather.  Sure hope the x-ray come back, good.

Spam, fresh outta the can. No matter how you slice it, dice it, chop it or cook it, it's still hard to swaller.

TIGLJK, I so happen to have a Ibenez Artcore Hollowbody w/ a Peavy 158 amp that I would be willing to sell. It spends more time in the closet than being played. I'm more into the acoustic guitars and since I got the 12 string I just can't put it down. Only reason I'm thinking of selling is to get my grandson a 3/4 size acoustic along the lines of a GS Mini. If you wanna talk we can do so privately and I can send you some photo's to look at.

This is terrible!!!! As I was reading ya'lls reply to my post I suddenly got a mental picture of Zurf sitting down at his dinner table and he didn't have any nuts. Nor was there a carrot visible. I sure Zurf enjoyed his carrot and nuts while he was able to have them. I hope a double Bourbon will get this picture outta my mind. If not I'ma gonna have another double.

Year's ago, in what seems like a different lifetime now, I phished a lotta bass tournament. Had a few sponsers, even had a couple or 3 prostaff boats given to me to use. Won a good bit of money phishing but spent way more that I won. Trying to work, raise a family, phish tournaments and be competive just doesn't work so I gave up phishing the circuits and joined a couple of bass clubs at home. Done good, working outta town all the time interfered with that, then the health problems, forced medical retirement and sitting on my ass at home feeling sorry for myself. The only things I've done in the past 3 / 4 years is play my music, piddle in the garden and watch tv. So now I've made up my mind that I'm gonna start phishing, again. I can't hunt amymore as one of my meds makes me cough a lot and if I walk a lot I cough more. I can cough and phish. I'm restricted to lifting no more that 20 pounds due to hernia's (2) on my stomach directly under the scar from my cancer surgury so I will have to be careful. I am able to sit (stand) in a boat so that's what I'm gonna do. Even went back phishing yesterday afternoon. Phish was running a little smaller but did manage to catch 5 crappie from 3/4 to 1 1/4 pounds. Had a "bluebird day" and the phish was holding tight to the structure making it difficult to get to them in the back of the submerged  treetops. Gonna hold up a day or so, rest a little then hit em again. Also, I'm playing music with friends Friday night so I guess I gotta practice a little..

We got some good'uns here. Not unusal to get one 3 pounds or a little over. Went back this morning and caught an even dozen that weighed from 3/4 pounds to 2 pounds. Per our scale our biggest weighed 2.14 pounds, today, and we had 3 more that was real close to that size. Hard to fish with the wind blowing like it was today and the temp @ 37 degrees. We were phishing 1/16 oz rubber jigs in submerged treetops in 20 t0 28' water. All the phish we caught were suspended 12 to 14' deep. If I can I'll try to post some photo's. I'm open to carry any of ya'll phishing if'n you can get here.

Charlaton, welcome to Chordie. By all means ask for a discount - all that can happen is that they say no. Have CIF (CASH IN FIST) and be ready to make the deal right then. Rule of thumb would be tp offer around 10% less but be ready to settle for 5%. If they don't won't to deal with a discount then ask for "extra's". A new set of strings, a set-up, capo, shoulder strap, an extra set of strings - these are all "must have" items with any new guitar and getting one or more or them "free" could be the same as getting a discount. Again, cash speaks in a loud voice. Have your mind ready to make the purchase, have a price in mind that you are willing to pay, be polite and respectful but be ready to walk away if your offer is not accepted. BUT - never offer a "low ball" price that could be  considered a insult. Do a little homework and find out what other places are selling the same item for, that way you will know the value of that item.
