      Wow–that is a story for the grandkids (if they even know who Zappa was/is by then).  Music history.

      I was in the same room with Hunter Thompson once, there is my entire brush-with-greatness inventory.

      @TrickHell:

      I actually toured his house once for a story. Met Gail, Diva made me coffee, got to look around the archives, listened to some tracks off of master tapes. It was a good day.

          Hardwood floors in the living room are starting to buckle.  Still haven't figured out why.

          Home ownership is a constant money sucking pain in the butt.

            Amen. Really a luxury than an investment IMO.

              My daughter promptly informed me that mommies' friend Steve brought them dinner tonight. To which my ex tried to explain away as "just a good friend".  Don't care if she's seeing someone but hearing about it from my 4 year old wasn't ideal. One of those days I guess

                Chris, is your house pier and beam or do you have a slab foundation?  Moisture in one form or another is your most likely culprit.  Do you have any indications of a leak anywhere?  Decreased water pressure, higher than normal bill?  Have you had any changes with your HVAC system?

                    The constant bumping and self promotion (sans price drops) in the buying and selling thread is infuriating.

                        As long as it isn't a bump more than once a day i don't see the problem.

                          @Giles No, I just had to check to see if I'm the only one who's bothered by this. It's just frustrating to keep seeing my sales thread buried but maybe I'm just an asshole.

                            Quite frankly, I think people who bump too regularly are arseholes.

                              Slab foundation.  Plumbers spent a few hours yesterday pressure testing the pipes and found nothing.  No changes in the HVAC, no signs of roof leaks or changes in landscape drainage, no unusually wet weather, floors and foundation are 50+ years old, though both were restored about ten years ago.  Hardwood floor specialist thinks it might be our rubber backed rugs reducing breathability, despite the fact that the floors started to buckle a couple of weeks ago and we've had the rugs for over a year.  Nonetheless, we've pulled them up and we'll see if it helps.

                                Well, the horrible illness required a trip in to the doctor today. Sinus, upper respiratory, and ear infections were the diagnosis. Antibiotics, herbal tea with honey, and a few days off work will be the remedy

                                        There should be a hard and fast bump rule, IMHO.

                                        The problem with hard and fast rules is that they need policing.  Policing requires time and effort, which are in short supply, so we rely on the maturity of the sellers.

                                          it looks extremely stupid to be paying with an apple watch on your wrist.

                                            Its funny to me that they range into 5 figures. The reason people pay a premium for a watch is that it is an heirloom item that will work the same and provide the same value for generations. Apple Watch will be obsolete every year. I'm sure they'll find some suckers and prove me wrong though.

                                            The new MacBook and MacBook Air are totally mystifying in terms of product line segmentation. Consumers are given Sophie's Choice: to get an underpowered machine with a single port for charging AND interfacing, or to get a more powerful machine with better connectivity but an embarrassingly obsolete screen.

                                            I was considering an upgrade until I saw what they brought, now I'll have to look elsewhere.

                                            Think it, be it.
