  1. I used to play guitar. I have a 12-string and a 6-string acoustic. However, due to sever carpal tunnel suffered several years back, my hands no longer cooperate for playing the guitar. I also used to play electric bass and alto sax back when we had a live orchestra at assemblies and conventions. I no longer have the bass. My niece had borrowed my alto sax when she was in school and lost a part off of it. I managed to fashion a workaround, but the sax hasn't been used in years, and all the pads are quite dry. Back in the 1970's I wrote several songs in the Country Music genre. I have lost track of most of them I have been making songs with the Suno AI app and have a thread on the forum with several of them. Also, there is another brother on the forum who has a thread with his original songs Feel free to check out those threads.
  2. Aren't we glad we have the Truth and a real hope for the future. The sad thing is that many people think this life is all there is. That having money and working toward freedom with retirement is what will bring them happiness. With that in mind, I wrote this song to bring out the futility of living only for what this system has to offer:
  3. It's more than just another park. Since I have been to Bryce, Zion, Canyonlands and The Arches in Utah as well as Mesa Verde, Four Corners and the Grand Canyon, I'm not sure I would put Central Park in that same category. Not to mention that I live on acreage out in the rural area in Florida, I am used to huge, grassy places. However, I would have to say Central Park is impressive. Since it is 843 acres of greenspace in the middle of a densely populated island that sits on a massive rock base, it is more than just another park. My daughter liked that is has a carousel. I liked the numerous street musicians that their playing did not interfere with each other due to the size of the park. We also liked the lake and the fountain, especially since we 'recognized it' because the Lake, Stairs and the fountain have served as a filming location for countless movies and television shows. I guess it all comes down to what you call nice or just another park.
  4. Have you ever had Scottish Eggs? A Scottish egg (also known as a Scotch egg) is a classic savory dish consisting of a boiled egg completely encased in a layer of seasoned sausage meat, which is then coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried or baked until crispy. It is a staple of British pub fare and traditional picnic baskets, and it is usually served hot or at room temperature, often accompanied by tangy mustard or a dipping sauce. The makeup of a traditional Scotch egg involves distinct layers: The Center: A whole boiled egg. Traditional versions use hard-boiled eggs, but many modern variations and gastropubs use soft-boiled or "jammy" eggs, which provide a rich, runny yolk when the egg is sliced in half. (I prefer the traditional hard-boiled egg) The Meat Layer: The egg is wrapped in a thick, even blanket of raw, seasoned sausage meat (typically ground pork flavored with herbs like sage, parsley, thyme, and nutmeg). The Coating: The sausage-wrapped egg is dredged in flour, dipped in a beaten egg wash, and rolled in breadcrumbs (or Japanese panko). The Exterior: When fried or baked, the breadcrumbs form a golden-brown, satisfyingly crunchy exterior that protects the juicy meat and tender egg inside. (I prefer mine deep-fried)
  5. I have an Epson EcoTank ... it has been nothing but trouble. Since I don't print on a daily basis, the heads keep needing cleaning and it fails to print when it sits like that. My brother has an HP tank printer. While his seems to work better than my Epson, it is not without its own issues. His reports paper jam errors when there is nothing stuck and we have had to remove and reinsert the printheads to get them recognized. Seems all the brands have issues.
  6. I have never read the book - I also did not know Homer made a movie ...
  7. Precarious readability temp's territorial Yuppies V Y K S T * As an interesting aside, we have a family in our congregation with the last name "Klopp"
  8. When I saw the thread title, my first thought was that the subject was about using the Bible to shoot down false beliefs and inaccurate accusations about us. Since I haven't engaged in any role-playing games, I envisioned this type of RPG
  9. Gargantuan orders for obvious reasons P Q J S U
