As if a Scot ever needed an excuse for a party. 

Happy St. Andrews Day to our resident Scots.

Good shots klbrackin.  I like the 'serious face.'  That sketch in your avatar is a terrific likeness now that we can see you in a photo.  Great job to whoever sketched it.

Beamer andnaoslager nailed it.  She is a licensed massage therapist specializing in deep tissue and sports injury. Also ibuprufen is my friend.

Is it bad when the massage therapist says "Holy crap!" a lot? And sometimes, "That's not supposed to be like that!"

I'm a bit old of a Dad for my kids. I was 36 when my first was born. She's 12 now, and I'm 48. She wants to play volleyball. I played in high school and college, so was pleased that she picked a sport where I'd have half a chance of coaching her.  So she's been doing well in her lessons. To encourage her, I joined a team. Today, I played volleyball for 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Now, a dear friend of my wife's is a masseusse. She has been offering free service, but it just seemed weird to me. Tonight I hurt so much, I acquiesced. Dang. At 48, do not play volleyball with 20 somethings for 3.25 hours. Fun? Oh heck yeah! Painful? Indubitably.

Bad things should not happen to good people. Topdown is good people.

Sounds like fun.  What is a shooter party?

Maybe some decongestants and bed.  Get the drowsy kind of decongestants.  That non-drowsy junk just makes you stay awake and be miserable.  It's far better to be asleep and miserable, because then you don't actually know you're miserable because you're asleep.

I thought that until I played Topdown's carbon fiber acoustic guitar.  That thing is just nuts, it's so good.

By the time I let old cars go, I'm glad to get rid of them.  I drive them until they are more expensive to keep than to replace.

I keep checking this thread hoping for good news.

Just a few. The Cape, Forever and Ever Amen, One Morning In May, a Jimmy Buffett song I don't remember the title to, Distantlt In Love, Grandma's Featherbed, Wreck of the Old 97, maybe a few others if I'm pressed. Mostly I like having my sheets.

That truly sucks.  Why would a shipper not declare value on a guitar?  That's just crazy.  If he did it right, you were paying for shipping. 

I am betting that it turns up at a pawn shop in the not too distant future.

Ccleaner is Crap Cleaner.  I'm stuck in the 90's.  That was the real name of the product when it was first released.  They have since changed the name to CCleaner to be less offensive I guess.  I just still think of it by its original name.

There was a large Microsoft update about a week ago.  For some reason, it did not push to my computers the way Microsoft Update usually works.  Go click the Office button, click on All Programs, then scroll down to select Windows Update.  Run that and reboot the computer.  Once it's run, try Crap Cleaner or similar software to be sure your registry is clean.  If after checking Windows Update, making sure your registry is orderly, and setting your firewall to tell that Skype is a trusted program, I'm about out of things to try.  I'd probably call Amy then.

If you de-installed it and now can't install, that's sounding like a virus detection software or firewall is getting in the way of the settings.  Check any firewalls you have installed and identify Skype as a trusted software to see whether that helps.  If not, then consider wine.

Less than 40 is bad.  More than 65 or so risks mold.  You've got it right.
