@Kehaulani said in countries / states represented here?:

O.K. then, "how many countries are being represented here on TrumpetBoards", thanks.

U.S. here, officially. But functionally, also Japan and Germany. Hope this gives this better focus.

By the way, I am often in the state of confusion!

Creepy bit of trivia: also the anniversary of Nixon resignation from the presidency AND the 50th anniversary of the Tate-LaBianca murders..........

@Pinstriper said in "Star Trek Next Generation":

TNG dealt two fatal blows to my willingness to suspend my disbelief.

The first was when they find a copy of Scotty stuck in the memory banks of an abandoned hulk ship.

The second was the flashback to Piccard getting stabbed in the heart as a young man.

From then on I wondered why they didn't just burn off a CD or ZIP drive copy (this was before USB thumb drives, you see) of the signal in the transporter, to be used to restore your body from backup if you ever got seriously injured, sick, or even just old and fat (or in this case, bald).

Yeah, there's the short term memory loss by going back to the moment you were sampled in the transporter. But hey, just once a day you pop into the booth and take a backup. Most you lose is day's activity. You could make it part of your morning routine, like using the bathroom or shower when you wake up.

In every iteration of Star Trek for 30 years,
even if they encounter 100 new races on the other side of the galaxy,
they all speak perfect English.

Meanwhile, I can't even understand whatever language William Shakespeare wrote in here on Earth a few hundred years ago ...

I like trumpetboards a lot more than TH (or what was TM). I took the some time off from various boards, Facebook, etc... and have returned to a really nice, friendly, forum!

The American Federation of Musicians requires a "new use" payment, so yeah, the band probably got paid. Paid again when if it went to VHS or DVD.

@Kehaulani said in Maynard was no disciplinarian ?:

You're not well-mannered. It's called passive-aggressive. 😁

Sometimes, musicians may become incontinent of urine, especially when playing high notes, loudly. I call that pissive-agressive.

It’s nice to have a qualified medical professional amongst us.

@Kehaulani said in Hello nursing home, Goodbye cornet:
As far as a low-noise policy, aren't there other rooms in the facility that you can use?

I used a Yamaha Silent mute when I had my 3 week stay in the hospital, several days of which were in the ICU. Nurses had no problems with me playing.

@ROWUK

Haven't heard that phrase since I lived in London 40 years ago.

@Kehaulani said in video on "Greg Gutfeld Show":

Is this what we're really down to, making sexist comments on someone's physical characteristics?

Yes. And Kat is thrilled when we do.

As this post is by this time almost three years old, I'm closing it.
