Don, hope you and yours are well ...

Thanks everyone,

Next I’ve got to pick everyone’s brains on my birthday present, haven’t ordered it yet, finally getting some new monitors and a sub woofer.
I ‘ll do it on a seperate post in the morning.


Thank you again everyone.

P.s
Bachus, mine was actually on the 14 Th

Rikki - for home use, this would be AMAZING. You don't need really large, or powerful tops when you're using a sub. I use the 8" version in my studio, but without the sub.

Hi Dave,
Thank you. I’ll check and see if they’re a possibility for me. Need to check what brands my dealer has access to, Also what’s available with the crazy stuff going on at the moment.

Don’t want to wait till next birthday . Haha

Brought out some old photos from 15 years ago. The kids were so young and it seems like it was yesterday. 15 years from now....never mind, too depressing.

Hi Zuki,
you’re sounding very down.
Just look after yourself.
I like the old saying

This Too Shall Pass.

Just need to find a way of navigating our way thru it.

Take Care

Thank you Rikki. You are very special. I have to quit whining now. Last thing I need to do is bring people down.

yes, zuki, I think we're all feeling a bit of that ...
I started to watch the evening news, went from channel to channel and then turned it off ...
And you REALLY WANT to see 15 yrs from now ...
We have a great granddaughter living with us right now and she will be 1 year old one week before I turn 79 ... I'm looking forward to living long enough that she will very much remember me ... but as the song says "Don't Blink" ...

Great advice Rikki, this too SHALL pass ...

Hi Tony,
it will pass.

I try and listen to radio stations and watch tv shows that aren’t 100% negative.
The ones that give one a bit of hope that they can do something .
Prefer to listen to the experts and what they’re telling us to do , rather than politicised armchair critics who think they know better.

This thing could take weeks, months , who knows, main thing is to try and get thru it, without everyday being a misery worrying about what’s next.

Wasted nearly a whole year ( in self pity ) worrying about whether I’d get full use back of my right hand , after I snapped my wrist. A year I will never get back, and all for nothing, it passed, and I’m fine, and I’m back.

Goodness , gracious, I’ve turned from the glass half empty type gal, into glass half full.

Do pessimists actually change their spots and turn into optimists? Just maybe.

Zuki, let me share some of my wisdom. I wake in the morning with this: “Boy, am I lucky, I’m 88 years old and I can still walk around, play music, and I feel pretty good”. Now, let me see who is hurting out there, maybe I can help them.

The magic of helping someone is, that when you concentrate on someone else you forget about YOU. And then you won’t write any stupid letters. (Big Smile)

Zuki, I can say that because I care, John C.
