DE - Absolutely health first.  Sounds like you should be in good shape by then though.  My fingers are crossed for a speedy recovery! 

Let Jen know that if she's up for camping - there's a State park nearby that allows dogs (Verona Beach State Park), as does my yard!  I'm not sure on the little motels around, but I'm 99% sure that the Days Inn in Canastota (next to the I90 thruway exit and across from the Boxing Hall of Fame - 15 minute drive from my house) does!  I do have a rescued pit bull that doesn't take nicely to other dogs very quickly, but I don't let her run without being tied up very often (last thing she needs is to bring a bad name to her breed just because some morons raised her wrong).  I have no problem at all keeping her on the run/mostly in the house.  I generally do anyway, for her own safety.  Our pug would love the company of some other dogs closer to his size.    Unfortunately, we haven't gotten the yard fenced in as of yet.  However, we have just shy of an acre and the back is bordered by trees.  There's plenty of space to tie the pooches up or plop one of those cork screw deals into the yard (if you don't mind fighting with rocks).  I know how difficult it is to get away when you have kids, or dogs.  It's all the same in the end.  Please, feel free to bring them along if you think they can handle the traveling.

Happy NBD NELA!  Hmmm... you aren't too picky about your fishing partners.  I'd at least ask for someone that can make fresh sammiches. 

Well thanks guys!  I think I'm the only gal still hanging around with all you guys.  Old Doll might pop in now and again... as a lurker.  I don't know.  We may have other lurkers too that are too scared to say hi.  I'm sure glad I'm here though, and in good company! 

Happy Mother's Day to any of you lurkers!  Please join us!  The guys are very nice.  I promise! 

And Happy Mother's Day to any of you gentleman playing the part... single Dad's deserve a lot of credit too! 

Welcome to the forums Randall! 

I can feel your concern, and I'm sure lots of others do too!  Give this thread a day, and you'll have a LOT of well thought out opinions.   

I personally say, "go for it" but then... I have a Martin 000-15M and don't have a button on the neck myself.  My custom strap wraps around the headstock (by the nut like yours).  My husband did install a pick up in it, which included drilling out the end pin hole a bit more.  It was VERY SCARY to watch!  In the end, all went well.  I imagine with the right placement everything would work out fine on your end too.  Maybe take it to a local guitar shop and let someone else do the dirty deed though.  I don't think I could do it myself (not because I'm not mechanically inclined, but because I'd be too scared to damage my baby - which would likely make me slip up and actually damage it!).  Good luck, keep us informed!

The weather's been soooo nice.  We've got summer temps in May!  It's crazy.  So, after the very very cold winter, I've been either working my tail off or OUTSIDE.  But, I have been thinking about everyone!  By the time August gets here, it will be a perfect time for some SERIOUS relaxation.  So, just thought I'd bump this up to make sure those that didn't see it do, and those that weren't sure are reminded, and those that are sure don't forget!  3 MONTHS!  The time will fly, but hopefully not too fast!    Enjoy your day everyone!

Congrats, and Best Wishes!

Nice job Chordians!  (applause, applause)

Bill, don't just sign out of Skype when not using, also you have to "quit" the app to get it to stop hogging resources.  I personally don't run the 8.1 metro version (because it sucks and you can't share files and almost everything metro is annoying to me).  A separate download is available for the "desktop" version of Skype.    I have what I consider a cruddy desktop PC (also only 4gb) and desktop Skype runs almost constantly.  Like I said, I need it for work, and I work all kinds of weird random hours throughout the day (plus the managers like to contact me during non work hours sometimes, and my kids think the app is better than a phone).  Even when I appear to not be signed in, I still am.

If the kids comply, I'll be on tonight and I'll hopefully catch ya, Joe!

Try desktop!  Maybe you'll like it! 

Happy NGD!

Wow... Thanks Jim!  That was pretty awesome, and the talking points in the beginning are spot on too.  Nice!

I was actually pondering that whole thought as I fell asleep last night.  Not considering myself an artist that is.  I guess the truth is that I DO consider myself an artist, just not one that's good enough to be paid for it.  LOL!  Now, if we're talking about coloring hair... I'm all over getting money for that because I KNOW I am better than a lot of the people around doing it.  I don't do it as a job though these days, as it's a difficult schedule to keep with my family.  Oddly, I find that each year I become more and more interested in different arts.  I enjoy the things I do, and I do like to share in hopes that others will get some fulfillment out of it too.  I never thought about it before from the view point of "my role in society" though. Feeling that I am perhaps a bit less inspiring than others, it certainly is some food for thought.  Thank you very much for raising the question.    I know for my KIDS, I do feel I play an important role in appreciation of the arts and in teaching that ANYONE can enjoy participating in them... you don't have to be amazing, you just have to be feeding someone's soul.  If it feeds your own, then chances are it will also feed someone else's.  It is to be shared, not hoarded. 

Hey Noahcertz1 - Can you check to see that you have the latest version of Chrome running?  Since your stuff is showing on the bottom of the screen and not the side, that's the first thing that pops into my head.  Here's a site that will walk you through several different ways to do this (and I'm sorry for all the ads on this site, they are annoying... but since we're not live chatting, this is the quickest way to get you to it):   http://www.wikihow.com/Update-Google-Chrome

Current version I am seeing is 41.0.2272.118

If that doesn't work, then I agree with our other Mods - take a screenshot using the snipping tool and email it to admin@chordie.com along with the fact that you're using chrome on a windows computer and the version of chrome you're using.  I've seen what you're describing before happen with the mobile rendering of this site, but not on a desktop view.  Good luck!
