--- Quote from: southendmd on November 14, 2007, 01:45:42 pm ---I love NPR! It's essentially my only source of news.
I was introduced to it more than 20 years ago: every night with Susan Stamberg and Noah Adams.
Garrison Keillor every Saturday night! I've seen him in person twice: he tellls those stories without notes, it's amazing. I miss "Hello, Love", the earlier opening song. Powder Milk Biscuits makes me dance.
I fell for Terry Gross as well. I heard her speak at Harvard and even got to meet her. She's tiny and buys her clothes at GapKids. 90%+ of her interviews are done long-distance, even though she makes it sound as if she and her subject are in the same room.
Here's a fantasy: take Italian lessons with Sylvia Poggioli. Ahhh.

Oh yeah! Mwa! I want to be Terry Gross when I grow up.

Musicians recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, in partickeler, it seems. Country - jazz - opera - you name it, but with that running recovery theme.

--- End quote ---
Do you mean crucified by the ladyfolk who read here, Tru? I'll agree with your statement, because never underestimate the power of a woman, period. And add the fuel of being done wrong to her power, and whoo-eee, watch out! Unless, she has learned that it's really not that satisfying to fuck up someone else's life just 'cause you're upset. Then she has to learn to let go....
Thus endeth the speaking from experience on that one.

And it's not because they've never been told the date of my birthday. :-\

Maybe they were just too drunk to remember. Tell us, Jeff, we'll give you a great thread! {{{Jeff}}}

--- Quote from: Shakestheground on November 19, 2007, 04:01:49 pm ---Okay, maybe someone out yonder can help me with this:
I want to get an inexpensive video camera, like under $200, and was wondering if anyone has any recomendations. I saw one at the maul for a hundred, and I would need to buy an additional card for it, it was very small and I wondered if it would be greater than cell phone quality. No one available to ask so I am still looking.

We needed to get new cell phones, so we paid $100 each (and had to switch to Sprint) for those new-fangled Palm Centros. I LOVE it. It's a phone/PDA/MP3 player/camera/web over cell phone lines, so I can come to BetterMost from anywhere with a cell phone signal (on a tiny screen). And it has a camcorder in it of pretty good quality that can take a lot of minutes of video. Pretty incredible. $100.
