With shoes and clothes, YES ALWAYS! It's rare that I will shop for shoes or clothes and pay full price.  BTW... if you happen to be at JC Penney's, it's not on final clearance until the price ends in ninety seven cents.  Yes, if it's any other ending price than that, it WILL eventually get discounted lower!!   

I just bought a brand new car.  Admittedly, it's not a clearance car or super sale, but I did shop around at the used lots first, then went looking for the best buyers incentives and then weighed the pros/options etc that I NEEDED and those I WANTED of the vehicles I liked with the prices after incentives.  I ended up with the vehicle I liked best that happened to be the cheapest with everything I wanted.  I LOVE IT too btw, and the best part is, it's the vehicle I THOUGHT would cost the most and wouldn't end up with. 

Guitars... I shop in my price range, but I do ALWAYS check out the used items first.

Hey Paul... 90% of the time when people are having problems printing from Chordie, it's due to them either being out of a color ink (in your case possibly black ink if the blue chords are printing), or their printer settings are off on the computer itself.  Take a look into those possible issues (try to print a test page from your computer using black/blue ink) and let us know how you make out.

Welcome to Chordie!

wow, doing a google search doesn't even attempt to help.  Here's hoping someone knows something.  Dino has a good idea, there could be something inside!

I can't remember the name of the movie, but one sticks out in my head about werewolves at summer camp.  It's possible it's one of the Howling movies.  All I remember is that when I watched it, the movie was rated fairly well at the time and I laughed through the entire thing.

Of course, there's always "The Blob" and "The Birds"

I've seen tidbits of "Might of the Lepus", I'm surprised they didn't name it "The rabbits"  LOL!

Zurf... going hungry could be what's doing it.  Perhaps you're not eating enough???  if your body is hungry, it will go into "starvation mode" in which it will hold onto fat, and not burn it well.  I doubt you're really "starving" but your body doesn't know that.  A good breakfast would be something like... 2 eggs (minus one of the yolks) with a slice of cheese (from the deli, not over processed American) on a wheat pita or something of the sort, a serving of fruit (10 grapes as an example), a glass of milk (8 oz is a small glass), and if you're starving with that add in perhaps a serving of cottage cheese.  then you need a healthy snack, then lunch, another snack, then dinner.  You should be eating all day long, but HEALTHY eating!   

I tend to stay away from low-fat products because what they lack in fat they make up for in sodium to add flavor (I'd prefer the fat to the salt personally in a diet).  You get ONE to TWO cups of coffee (or anything else with caffeine) per day... after that for each cup you drink you need to add another 8 oz of water to fight the effects... and remember for water take your weight in pounds, divide in half, and that's how many ounces of water you should be drinking.  That's 123 ounces... or 15 8oz glasses per day (most large glasses hold close to 16 oz BTW).  Is it possible that you're NOT drinking enough water?  It's a LOT, and the caffeine and water are my biggest downfalls personally.  Half the time when we're hungry, it's our bodies tricking us because really we're just thirsty.  You CAN count your non-caffeine drinks towards the water consumption also.  Not the liquor though! 

Add lemon and spice to help speed up the metabolism.

OH... and a really healthy food that has the qualities of vegetables, fiber, and protein... is ... LENTILS.  Can you eat them??? Peanuts are lentils, so I'm not sure if you'd be allergic to them or not... or if it's more so the tree nuts???  If you can't eat them, then take a look at the other beans out there as they are really good for you, if you can stomach them without adding too much fat to make a decent flavor.  I love black beans over rice.

It sure wouldn't hurt to visit the doctor and have them run some bloodwork to see if there is a thyroid issue.  Most people with thyroid issues tend to also have major HAIR issues btw.  My sister in law's hair was falling out like CRAZY ... now that the thyroid is under control with meds/diet... her hair grows sooo fast she needs the grey colored every 2-3 weeks (most people go 6-8 weeks).  I would check into that.  It sure would feel good to lose weight AND gain hair!    GOOD LUCK SIR!

YAY for tornado warnings that produce nothing but a little wind and extra guitar playing opportunities!

BEAUTIFUL!  Thank you for sharing! 

Good stories!  keep em coming!    My 6 year old's favorite word is "Wierdo", but my husband gets a few more compliments than I do on being one.    "you're such a weirdo!" as she giggles and makes a funny face.  I LOVE being a weirdo!

That's it Deadstring... you're done!  LOL!!!! 

Seriously, we don't have too much to do BECAUSE of all the great members here!  We mostly just handle spam.  There's a rare occasion when we have to handle a member that's out of line, but it is VERY RARE.  I thank each and every one of you for that!  It is the people, and that's why I'm here, and why I come here daily.  Being a moderator of a site like this is an honor, not a job, in my opinion. 

Welcome to the wonderful world of guitars... and CHORDIE! 

When I first started, I had a hard time cutting my nails.  I do so now quite happily!  Take your time.  Fret that D then pick each string to make sure your fingers are right where they belong.  If not, adjust until each string rings clear.  The hardest part about beginning is that you will be ready to move on before your fingers will allow you to (pain  in building up callouses!).  If you do start with nylon, you won't build up such tough callouses and you'll be able to move ahead quicker with your learning, but to strum  you'll eventually want to go to steel.  You could string your steel guitar with nylon (although some may argue that point) and then put steel on when you're ready.  I simply started with a BAD steel string... moved to a nice classical nylon... then got a decent steel string.  If you're playing an el-cheapo from somewhere like Wal-mart, do yourself a favor and spend a bit more money for a real guitar.  It'll make that D much easier!  GOOD LUCK girl!!
