So I'm sitting there doing paperwork at my desk with the news on in the background. Suddenly I heard the word "uh" repeating. I knew who it was.....our Commander-in-Chief not using a teleprompter. This time he sounded like he was really groping for words, with an "uh" every few seconds.

Nothing wrong with that, but this time I noticed every time the "uh" came out, it was the same scale note. I matched it to a D on the piano. Interesting.....every single time he came up with an "uh" it was a D.

Then I listened to a speech by "her." When she's improvising and not using a teleprompter, all of her "uh's" were again the same "note."

That bit of trivia and a silver dollar will get you a ham salad sandwich at Dunkin' Donuts!

Back to my paperwork.

P.S. Please don't make this post into a political discussion.

Anytime someone says "don't make this about 'blah' ", you can bet your bippy it's about 'blah'.

We don't have to Mark. You just did.

Don't be ridiculous. It's NOT about "blah".......and.......I didn't "just did."

If I wanted to talk about "blah," I could give you a mouthful about "blah!" And it would be in The Bar where more folks would be more likely to comment on a political discussion.

Or maybe those who think I manipulate words do so themselves?

Why is it that some are prone to "looking for a fight" and missing the actual point that a poster makes. This happens in here often enough to notice it.

If you can't say something nice, say nothing!

Lastly......with this topic, I thought I'd throw in something different in the Forum to talk about. Thanks for reminding me that the next time I go to do that, I will gently put my hand over my mouth and hang a sign that says "Do Not Open Until Christmas!"

Finally, I really don't appreciate being attacked for a post I submitted as a humor gesture. Or maybe I should have also determined what key the other candidate does his "uh's in? But then those who look for something to be wrong will find it!

Well, I think that statement pretty much proves my point. Uh...maybe you want to think through your responses before putting pen to paper .

PS: Mark, if you don't want start a 'political' discussion, then don't make the President the subject of the post. Just a friendly tip .

Hi Mark.
What is wrong with discussing things? Who says we have to agree ?Why posting something if you don't want responses? And why using code names for our beloved politicians? And are we that arrogant and that much full of crap(shit) to talk anything about your "blah" guy when your democratic choice is either Trump or Hilary. Over 300 million people and these are your two choices? Are people really this dumb, or do people really have no saying in this matter?

Of course you did. Otherwise your posting makes no sense. But it is obvious what you are saying. How did you intend it to be interpreted? Please let us know. If you are trying to say it wasn't political you are the one being ridiculous. I don't mind that it was political but I do mind that you pretend it was otherwise after specifically referencing 2 political figures. Though maybe you really don't grasp why I would say that in which case I am very sorry you don't.

Chas........let me say this as friendly as I could, since you just gave me a "friendly tip."

What part of "If I wanted to talk about "blah," I could give you a mouthful about "blah" did you not understand? In layman's terms, it means to me that if I wanted to talk about politics, I'm not one to mince words or lay down a smoke screen to try and disguise something. Where I live everyone is a "straight shooter".....we say what we mean! The translation for that is simple: If I wanted to talk about politics I would have just come out and said it.

Now let me ask you something? Why did you feel it necessary to attack my post? I put it up in good faith because I thought it was something novel to talk about....something different from the run-of-the-mill posts that have been happening lately. And this is what I get for trying to add some sparkle to the discussions.

So the question again is: Why did you feel it necessary to attack my post? Dollars to donuts you don't answer the question!

Hi Anthony,

I happen to like you as a person even though I very rarely ever agree with what you write in The Bar.

Now you say "What is wrong with discussing things?" There is nothing wrong with discussion......when it's discussion. When it's persecution....well, THAT is not discussion.

Further, I view you (in your writings in the Bar) as a person who does NOT discuss things. You look at issues through one set of lenses. True or false? I didn't see you "discuss" what I meant in this post. You just threw out the crap from all directions. True or false?

Yes, I write "code names" because I'm smart enough to know every bit of the Internet is under computer government surveillance and you don't want to draw attention to yourself or the Synthzone. And, BTW, that's the most powerful reason I don't get into politics on the Internet (or anywhere for that matter).

As for the rest of what you wrote, I don't appreciate your making my simple light-hearted post into a three-headed monster.

Please stay in The Bar if you need to do that and pick someone who is into all that jive. As for me, I'm 100% musician....been that way all my life and that's all I want to talk about is music and related issues. It seems that's what you're NOT wanting to talk about in this "music" forum!

Your friend,
Mark

Nigel.........I'm smart enough not to lock horns with you because you hold all the aces.....you own the group.

Further, I never got the feeling you liked me that much as a member to begin with from previous remarks you made so it's a stacked deck for me. It darn well pains me and humiliates me to have to back down from an insult, but that's just what I'm going to have to do if I want to stay in the group....eat humble pie, and......"back down!"
