I've seen him in concert twice.The last time had been after he had his stroke. Ian Anderson that is. This is the music we listen to in high school. Of course my husband is still a big fan.

Looks like the cold snap in the U.S. is still happening ....

Brrrr...one of our cats finally warmed up enough to stretch out.

Watch your language folks. This board is not the place for obscenities.

[dontbe]

Bigwull.... words. Choose them wisely.

The first concert I ever saw was Tull. 198..4? University of Chicago.

[talesofthesevenseas]

I saw Tull in the 80s too, but that's beside the point. You don't speak to a lady that way and you don't post it on a forum. Ever.

I think something went over my head? My husband said "Benefit" is a great album.

[bigwull]

...what is seen as  tongue in cheek where i come from....is obviously not seen to be here.....such a pity.......furtherm ore,..the reference to the pic in question  was not targeted at G,acre,.or anyone for that matter,.it was how i and many others i know..perceive this  album cover,...but...if this is the kind of thing that offends you....then..i think ..maybe i,ve overstayed my welcome....

Bigwull, It's a big world out here. We don't know all of each others euphamisims. (beano? it's something you take to prevent farting).

Plus, as you can tell by now (you are a veteran here) this is a genteel forum! No money going on (I still get my ~100$ month from the couple of ad's that flow by) It's just for "us". "Us" Being you, me, and the 100 other people that have +100 posts under their belt that have gone out of their way to answer questions, and the people that ask those questions.

I'm in a spot, because I'm sort of entertained by your regional humor... But there are people here that are not. So what am I supposed to do?

So, help me please. I dont even know how you will do it. You seem creative enough to pull it off.


And on to another subject for all the people that frequent here. I need to update the forum, but you all have made the database so big with pictures and whatnot, that I'm having a hard time! .. Anyway, look for a new look and color scheme to the forum this spring. If anyone wants to put their two cents in to any improvement ideas, feel free to let me know!
BTW, this is the 18th year of this forum! can you believe it??
Thanks for participating in the internets best antiques forum! (you know its true!) It's awesome to read your posts.

Well,, since I missed what was said,,I will say that Bigwull would never use a derogatory term for any woman here intentionally !! I have known him to correct others whose language was not appropriate !! I have found it necessary to read some of his posts a few times to get exactly what was intended !!  Perhaps that is what happened here !!
I think most of us do realize that some terms are accepted as part of normal conversation in other parts of the world that are not seen that way here !!  Sounded to me like he was referring to that darn music he likes which has some strange cover names !!  Jmo !!  Now back to business !!

I do have one request please Ed,, can we post size requirements for pics on a separate sticky thread !! Some of the people posting don`t take time to resize and correct the pics so we can a good enough view to give an answer to their questions.  They think bigger is better but it isn`t for all of us !! I am not the only person here with dial up !!  Just simple instructions would help !! Not many read what is currently there !!

Database size could be reduced by the hot linking of images being more accepted than it is - many people will have the images on a website already and choose to hot link them, whereas they are continually greeted with requests to upload them on this website.

Otherwise great fun ! 

Tales - i've been stalled in my research of your ancestors due to the person i need to see at Osberton Hall being away at present. And the weather in the UK is ridiculous, as it has been in the north over there.

My sister keeps facebooking me images of the Bahamas which doesn't help     

[talesofthesevenseas]

No worries Ipcress! Thanks for the update and as always the help is appreciated.
