Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or TheBuddha.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I'm constantly reminded how fragile people's ego's are. As in this, portraying themselves to an elevated status, even though the correct description is sufficient for praise. I understand it somewhat, it's hard to stand out when everybody else is doing the same and everyone wants to feel special (just like everybody else).

There was a post yesterday asking people if they played a musical instrument, and what it was. I noted almost all that replied I didn't recognize from the thread. That doesn't mean they aren't being truthful but makes me question why they answered the post but still don't have a desire to share their music. As if they want to be known as a musician but don't "prove" it by joining an opportunity. I did see 2 users I recognized, one even commented by only posting a link to the thread.

Oh well, I'm far from exempt from issues myself and shouldn't judge others. I cite it as an example of the topic.

I'm anticipating my kids coming at 2 pm and think I have all prepared. These are the days I enjoy the most.

What they were doing was perfectly acceptable, respectable, and takes quite a degree of skill to do properly.

I wanna be a lion.
Everybody wanna pass as cats.
We all want to be big big stars,
But we got different reasons for that.

Ah well...

It's 'cold' here and will be for a while. It's like 40° here. It'll warm up to a max high in the low 50s at the end of next week. Other than that, it's expected to be below 50° until Thursday.

Again, unrelated - but possibly of medium importance...

If I disappear, it's the goddamned hotel's internet going down again. It went down at 11:50 and was restored at 13:57. (I happened to look at my phone, so I know the time.)

Seriously...

This is a goddamned luxurious hotel. How the fuck can they not keep the 'net up and running?!?

Also, I learned that I'm technically not in Norfolk. There's a greater metropolitan area, including Virginia Beach, and I'm not actually in Norfolk. Huh... Things I learned.

I'm still gonna say I'm in Norfolk, 'cause that's ingrained and close enough.

Isn't that mainly a jurisdential, taxation issue declaration? Does mail come to you as a Norfolk address? Are the police Norfolk police, a sheriff has jurisdiction, maybe under an agreement? Are you therefore a sovereign citizen?

So where are you legally if not Norfolk?

I'm technically in Virginia Beach. At least that's what the person at the desk says. The mailing address is in fact Norfolk.

I do not think it matters much. Like most municipal areas, they most surely work together in some departments.

It's a bit like Boston. Boston is just one small area. There's Dorchester, Roxbury, Cambridge, East Boston, etc...

It all just kinda flows together along the coast, with the I-95 corridor running right through.

Also, speaking of hotel stuff...

In about 2 months, I'll have broken even on my hotel investment. Even during the downturn, they're doing okay.
