My aunt had both knees replaced. One of which she messed up slipping in the Denver snow. Now she's barely mobile, unable to walk without at least a cane.

What prevented OJ from contacting law enforcement, reporting his stuff was stolen? Choosing instead to take the law in his own hands? Answer: a thief will never call the cops.
DBDFab, MakeMKV, etc likely haven't updated their list of decryption keys to include this GG release. Unlike DVDs which use common encryption keys, every BD has its own unique key. It's likely just...
He was convicted, sentenced to prison, and served long parole for attempting to steal back his memorabilia. The reason he lost that memorabilia to begin with is he was hiding it from Fred Goldman. ...
In a roundabout way, the Goldman family did receive criminal justice. The reason OJ lost his memorabilia, necessitating stealing it back was he was hiding it from Fred Goldman. Who was attempting...
Guess that would make you an anti-scalper.
When Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire toured together, they opened as a huge band. Then one band did a set, the other band did a set, and they closed as a huge band. That was a memorable show.
^^ Assuming the frankenclouds don't obscure the view.
Chechnya is notoriously Muslim. The brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon are/were Chechen. If true, this is likely more of a religious edict than a political policy.
Twice as much interest in the Women's tournament as the Men's diminishes the economic impact of the Men's, here in the Phoenix area. With the free events including the free big name concert series,...
That Cast Sinfonico is kind of an odd duck. Most Blu-rays used higher res audio than DVD counterparts. Like DTS Master Audio. Or at a minimum multichannel sound. Alfonso chose to use 16/48 PCM...
Capping off the travesty is Rick had nothing to do with the writing, or original recording of Starship Trooper. It would be like Joe Lynn Turner today, performing Dio and Bonnet era Rainbow songs.
Sounds good considering they had to record in an abandoned hotel. With a mobile truck parked just outside. After some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground.
^^ ABC airs it every year, the Passover time of year. They have for decades.
When I was a high school freshman in 1979, if you didn't like Pink Floyd's The Wall, you weren't cool.
^^ The band did spend substantial time at the top of the charts in the 80s. With a brief respite, when ironically Peter Gabriel's So knocked them out of number 1.
For decades I would watch the Suns play on TV, if they were in the playoffs. But that's about it.
Some modern ships are too large to navigate the Panama Canal. A couple of years ago, the "Ever Given" got stuck in the Suez Canal.
^^ I was in the Navy when the movies an Officer and a Gentleman, and Iron Eagle came out. A BFD for us squids at the time.
No standard design bollard can withstand the impact of a ship that size and weight. A design dating back decades. Having served on a carrier myself, the pitching and rolling is quite slow. ...
Dio era Sabbath was the first time they were able to release an official live album....Live Evil. Tony said previously, Ozzy was off key or forgot the words. Or Tony's guitar sounded muddy. There...
^^ I actually love the commercial in which Ice-T is sitting next to a kids' lemonade stand. Guys would drive by yelling "Yo Ice-T!" Tracey responds "Lemonade......read the sign."
A kid in my high school didn't like Black Sabbath...................until he heard the then newly released Mob Rules. He found it more appealing than even Heaven and Hell.
Born Again, and the supporting tour pretty much destroyed Gillan's voice. The primary reason he can no longer perform Child in Time today.
I never understood why Glenn Hughes sang, but didn't...
The first day has been very upsetting.
Golf would be highly entertaining to watch.............................if played only during thunderstorms.
The stadium for the Phoenix "Major League Soccer" team is quite small. Roughly the size of the multiple ballparks used for Cactus League baseball spring training games. The stadium is no Wembley by...
I listen to music in my brain. That's what interprets signals from my cochlea, driven by the hammer, anvil and stirrup. Originating from the tympanic membrane in each ear.
LMAO...:lol:lol:lol
It's a great sport, but I'd watch golf, girls softball, bowling, hockey before I'd watch soccer.[/QUOTE]
Anyone who would call it "soccer," rather the football like the rest...
I find the vocals on The Light a little over the top, even by Neal standards. The way he yells "I am catfish man et cetera" in the title track, and repeatedly yelling "f*** you" in the Water.
When my parents got a Fire TV, with the ability to pause and fast forward over the air TV programs, I couldn't convince them of what a benefit that is. They'd rather just sit there with the TV muted.
Another factor may be the general public simply grew tired of the excesses of prog. Much like they grew tired of the excesses of hair metal in the early 90s. When it was replaced by Grunge, a...
^^ A lightning rod would be a feature, not a bug. Every so often a house, a palm tree, et cetera will be set on fire by a lightning strike.
^^ Here in the Phoenix area, the two electric companies are in a slow process of replacing all wooden poles with metal ones. Because powerful monsoon storms tend to snap wooden poles like...
^^ Until recently here in the States, thrift stores were a great source of hidden treasure vinyl records. Now that the vinyl resurgence has made records valuable again, only the absolute rubbish...
The CBS Evening News, and ABC World News Tonight are 15 minutes of news. Then a block of commercials, 30 seconds or minute of fluff, another block of commercials, another 30 seconds or minute of...
Not looking forward to the traffic madness. When the Final Four are played here in the Phoenix area.
In the case of Journey, it would be as much a function of personnel changes as anything else. Greg Rollie being replaced on vocals by Steve Perry, then on keyboards by Jonathan Cain.
Meanwhile California is experiencing a record blizzard in the Sierras.
Same here, but only disc 2 with the title track. Disc 1 is filler as far as I'm concerned.
That may explain In the Hot Seat. Trying and failing to attract a larger audience, while alienating their target audience.
The late 60s to mid 70s was when pop rock was creative. What was played on AM pop radio was almost as satisfying to me as prog masterpieces. Until it was stripped down by disco and punk.
Just out of curiosity: do you still have all your fingers? There's a running joke that wood shop teachers are often missing at least one.
I'm also quite fond of the closing track On My Way Home. Given it was made in the late 80s, a difficult period for prog in general, the album is a prog masterpiece. In the Hot Seat on the other...
^^ So if/when the new Niacin album comes out, we should avoid it?
I would classify In the Hot Seat as AOR. Like Asia albums starting with Astra. Unlike Love Beach which does have some proggy moments. I typically drop the needle on the last track on side one,...
There's an island in the middle of the Indian ocean called Diego Garcia. It's British owned, but the entire island is essentially a US Navy base. Feral chickens are the "wildlife" of the island. ...
I would add to that the Barney Miller finale. The most touching moment was when Inspector Luger called Levitt "Little Levitt" one time too many. Levitt yelled "Sir, it's not Little Levitt. It's...
Ala cart would've been more expensive than the basic cable packages we had. Paying for a channel one watched maybe a couple or a few hours a week. For example, I would pay for BBC America just to...
And technology that can smell is still in its infancy, with limited applications.
^^ and worth bukoo bucks
The hazard with smart houses is one can be locked out of their home by ransomware. Or have it taken over and start doing crazy things.
Can't remember whether that was before or after Sally Field joined a convent, and learned to fly.
Perhaps Jake Shimabukuro will write an ukulele concerto. Much like Bela Fleck wrote a banjo concerto.
^^ Not to mention Billy Sheehan is a busy, much in demand bassist.
Most of what Sky did was rocked out classical. To be expected from classical guitarist (not the film composer) John Williams.
It currently costs the US Mint around 3 cents to strike a penny. It also costs more than a dollar to print a dollar bill. Which is why the US Treasury tried without success to entice consumers to...
I have their live in Tokyo DVD. Great from start to finish.
There's a local business who restores old and vintage audio equipment. They give a considerable discount for paying cash. Many local used record stores will spontaneously apply a bulk discount when...
During the 80s I hated everything going on around me. While everyone else was listening to New Wave, I listened to whatever rock still existed. Like pre-"success of 87" Whitesnake, Rainbow, and the...
