Could you please send me the stuff I have been asking for? Obviously our wires were crossed.

Thanks,

Post by: pauldo on December 07, 2009, 08:34:24 PM: An SF-2 is super high on my list, but so am I because I know Santa doesn't have the benjamin's for that.

Socks and Underwear is the greatest! I grew up the youngest of 4 boys and always had socks that were thread bare and never stayed pulled up and underwear with worn elastic and a dingy look to them . . . :-|
I think that is the reason I appreciate them so much these days, a good sock (ie: Thorlo)and a double seamed pair of flannel boxers is a thing of beauty to me.

As a kid I never could understand the value of Long-john pajamas with those hard flexible built-in soft slippers for the feet, along with the full body zipper.

As a kid, I hated them, but today, I wish they made something like them for adults. I remember as a kid, I would imagine myself as astronaut or a deep sea scuba diver just to fool myself to like them.

Today with these cold nights, I would love to have something of an outfit like the one I had as a child.

Man, I can see me now... with my Alembic strapped on, and a nice warm cup, I would be in heaven.

By orders of my wife, my children would probably take pictures of me and show it around. I'll still be warmer than them... bring on the cameras...

Sannie claus - if you can get me some long-johns; I'll call off the hounds, and I'll call it an even trade.

Post by: kenbass4 on December 14, 2009, 03:42:44 PM: Thanks Dave and Wolf.

I've got to say this last year has really changed my perspective on things, as I would have said an 8-string Series II last year, but things just don't seem so important now. At least she's been home now for a few months, and slowly getting better, but we've still got a long road.

Man, it feels like I lost my mother Today, and she past away on a November day in 2004 (before the Thanksgiving Holiday).

May GOD Bless you Terry, for I know it hard without your Dad, and it's even harder during the Holidays.

Post by: David Houck on December 15, 2009, 01:05:53 PM: The winter solstice. A time of rebirth and renewal. A time of remembrance, and a time of hope. A time to rest from and reflect on the year just past and years gone by, and a time to prepare for the coming spring, a new dawn, a new awakening. An amazing and poignant time of the year for the effects that it elicits within us all.

It will change you forever. In a way, you should let it -- as a form of honor. Let them be real enough to you that their passing affects you forever.

A Classico Double bass, and 2 Bag End 1x18...Oh yeah and another Short Scale Distillate with Piccolo tuning. That ain't too much for Santa to put under the tree! (Hee!-Hee!)

Happy Holidays, enjoy!
