I laughed hard on several of those.  Thanks for the laugh. toots

Same here.  My ther lives down the street from me.  She's 87 and still kicking.  Happy Mothers Day to all.

I just copied a quote from a UMGF member about the D18.  While he really likes it, he did end up preferring another Martin.
The quote: 

Some you know I picked up a very clean '64 D-18 recently. I had the neck reset and it is a killer example of a straight braced, aged D-18 from the old factory, with all hide glue, large T bar, small (tiny) maple plate. 

I was very excited to enter the D-18 world for a while to see what the fuss it about.  It definitely cuts in a loud jam and is a different sound from all the D-28s around the house.

That said, it is a specialty guitar for my tastes, and has it's place, but after playing it for a couple months now, it is not what I'd want for the desert island guitar.  I love the lush and cutting sound of a good D-28.  The D-18 is simply too sharp for just sitting around by myself playing.  That doesn't mean that the old scalloped braced or new Authentic scalloped braced D-18's couldn't fill that niche, but that is because they (to me) cross over into rosewood land sound-wise.

I don't plan on getting rid of the D-18, because it is such a great example of that guitar, and has its place.  But it couldn't be "The One" the way a D-28 can for me.   

Guitars are like cars, I guess.  Everyone has their favorite.  I just happen to like the bassy sound that Martins provide.

I love Martins.  I can't answer your question and I am a member of UMGF.  I don't know much about the D18.

We can learn our barre chords while we take our depression medicine. How good is that?

Well, happy birthday dude.

Stop quibbling and get one scott.  You owe it to yourself and your church.

Yeah, zurf.  Better to set the 5 lb goal and if you lose more, great.  Keep it up.

I do not like most reality shows.  They are just getting out of hand.  And a lot of these new sitcoms are just plain stupid.

I don't agree, zurf, that being captured would have been better.  He would have been in the system, draining us of money, for a long time.  It is better the way it happened. That part is done.  Now we sit back and wait for retribution, unfortunately

I think a section where we could speak our mind would benefit us.  Totally off topic.

Amen.
