Making a statement of fact is not the same as justifying it.

That is awesome. What size is it?

I think it is 20”x30”. It is across town in another home, the Cochran's, though....

Are you in Austin?

Isn't it that the thread had run it's course?

@Dr-Mark said in Please help me to understand something...:

The average time for a human to have sex is far less than one might think. Its around 5.4 minutes.

That's not what she said.

This is just so speculative and I don't understand making up scenarios about this which are destructive to these persons' reputations. That and why is one guy is called Wang"?

@GeorgeB said in You gotta see and hear this:
I am sure happy to see that those health care workers are getting the kind of recognition they so deserve. Heroes, everyone. Same goes for pharmacists, first responders, the police, food store workers, etc. I have a whole new appreciation of these people.

Same here. My sister spent a career, first as a LVN then as a RN, only to have it end with her suffering a complete mental breakdown. They are often (and I'm not blaming everyone of this) overlooked, underappreciated and undervalued. I think that, sometimes, they'e looked upon as throw away professions.

I asked her one day why she would do such a dirty job and she used other words, but what she communicated was that she cared about other people. She's truly a caring person . . and, evidently, not the only one.

If you piss off the likes of a David Geffen, he will use his resources to bury you. When's the last time you heard a Laura Nero CD or even heard the name?

I'm not sure of the context for the comment but, FWIW, Laura died over 20 years ago.

That is awesome. What size is it?

That being said, I had a buddy who got a full-ride to Curtis, and . .

If I'm not mistaking, Curtis is tuition free.

Not addressing the technicalities, let me just say an overriding quagmire that affects other issues is that a sexual case is very hard to prove, "He said, She said", often being at the heart of the situation.

What one considers just simple flirting can be received by someone else as harassment. Motives are very hard to prove, only (usually) actions. And in the case of sexual harassment, can be in the eye of the beholder.

I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting

Oh damned! My daughter wants to go to Berklee when she graduates!

Don't give up on Berklee. Even though it's expensive, I believe it also has a fair share of scholarships, work-study programs and grants available.

Room & Board usually means a shared dormitory room for the school year (not including summer) and cafeteria style meals for the same length of time.

BTW, I checked on it and Berklee tuition in today's dollars would be around $1,616.00 (excluding R&B.)

@Kehaulani said in Lifetime quest finally paying off!:

First: get the anger out of your soul FranklinD.

Why is it when there is legitimate opinion expressed, it has to be accompanied with name calling and questioning someone's motives? Does that give more credibility to someone's alternate opinion?

In my universe, name-calling someone a feckless turd because they see things differently, is just crude and has no place in this discussion. Too much crassness and too much emotionalism.

Carry on. I'm out of this one.

Important announcement from Berkley School of Music

That was cute. Clever idea.

BTW, it's a shame about Berklee's tuition charges. When I first studied from them, costs were comparable with any other school. Now they're off the charts. And for musicians? Can you imagine with the average income of a musician, how long it would take to pay off student loans?

You're pretty condescending, you know, Dr. Mark. I get it completely. Seeing something differently than you, doesn't mean that one is stupid. I just don't see redefining things.

You can't say airplane and mean the process of taking off, flying and landing, maybe experiencing some turbulence, en route. There are other words to describe it. But airplane is airplane.

Five words to make the stay bearable; Candy stripers and sponge baths.

No. Candy stripers and sponge baths . . on your back.

Man, talking about over-analysis. If one wants to get technical, embouchure is from the French "la bouche", meaning "the mouth". Not "the airstream" or "the teeth". The mouth.
