  1. I second that...

    GO Cards!

    Well....go ahead and cheer on the Cardinals....Coaches Whisenhunt and Grimm both came from the Steelers....and there's an assistant coach by the name of Matt Raich that came from our hometown....right Rainbo??? Of course I'm a huge Steelers fan...and we ARE going to make it one for the sixpack! We already had a Raven's roadkill...so one more bird to hit the Steel Curtain! LOL B)

  2. It was taken care of that same day!!

    :doh3:

    :wub: Joe came to the rescue folks! The textile painting of Billie Holiday came out fairly well. There was only one detail I didn't like but couldn't change but overall, the painting came out as I imagined it. The sheet music was the background of the painting. Thanks to all of you for trying!

  3. sorry, Dude, for all your work and effort but AFAIC, V's Day is only used to support chocolate manufacturers, florists and those who make cards like Hallmark. fuck 'em all.

    Well...I am smiling today as I remember a Valentine's Day 34 years ago when Rainbowdemon sent me a dozen of long stem red roses! And as for chocolate manufacturers....I'll support them any and every day...my fat ass will attest to that! LOL Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's day....no flowers or card this year but I know I am loved! :wub:

  4. A NASA astronaut is being held without bail after police say she attacked her rival for another astronaut's attention at Orlando International Airport Monday.

    Lisa Marie Nowak drove more than 12 hours from Texas to meet the 1 a.m. flight of a younger woman who had also been seeing the astronaut Nowak pined for, according to Orlando police.

    Nowak -- who was a mission specialist on a Space Shuttle Discovery flight last summer -- was wearing a trench coat and wig and had a knife, BB pistol, and latex gloves in her car, reports show. They also found diapers, which Nowak said she used so she wouldn't have to stop on the 1,000-mile drive. Reports show that after U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman's flight arrived, Nowak followed her to the airport's Blue Lot for long-term parking, tried to get into Shipman's car and then doused her with pepper spray.

    :o

    Yea, this was a really sick story. I heard on the news this morning, that Colleen Shipman was from the town where Joe and I grew up! Nowak has to be sick, especially wearing diapers for the trip. She needs some serious help.

  5. :icon_mad: It kills me that you worded it as "old Joe". I realize I'm deliberately mistaking it, but it's still funny.

    Joe is really only 3 months older than me...but I keep telling him he's older by 10 years! Shhhhh...don't tell anyone! LMAO

  6. Hey everyone,

    Sounds like everyone is having a pretty relaxing weekend for the most part. I just wanted to share pics of my new little puppy, Fletcher. He's a beagle that we adopted from the vet. He's only around 5 or 6 weeks old, and he's the runt of his family so he is tiny right now. He's currently snoozing away as because the vet went ahead and neutered him as required by law. Poor thing. But he seems to be doing fine. As it stands now my cat, Hal is afraid of the puppy. Can you believe that? Well, I'd like to keep it that way til Fletch gets a little bigger and they have a chance to get acquainted.

    I hope everyone has a safe and happy christmas and new year's. :)

    Merry Christmas Fletch! Hope Santa Dog treats you well for your first Christmas!!!

  7. Hey Merry Christmas Everyone...and to you Dude!

    This is the first time I've ever been caught up so early. Presents are wrapped, baking is done and everything is bought for a Christmas brunch here at home with family and friends. Last count...14 for brunch! LOL Going to relax this weekend except for the minor things that always have to be done before company visits....and it will all be done before the Steeler-Ravens game on Christmas Eve afternoon! Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday!

  8. i was kidding about the groupie thing, didn't mean you and yours (i was actually goofing on myself; i think i'm the oldest groupie EVuh). but i admire you for what you did and totally agree you should have a wiki---i'll betcha anything that many don't know about your work and who knows? you might inspire young chicks to actually DO something apart from competing to be the next paris *puke* hilton or britney or whatever sleazebag impresses young chicks these days.

    ps, i worked for Grubman Indursky and Schindler ages ago...i think i saw maybe ONE female music attorney and one female rep up at their offices all that time and forget about all the meetings at CBS &c--it was like the boyz club. pissed me off and i'm not even a feminist.

    Hey...I didn't take offense! I was just joking back with you about groupies and that we have more value than just being a groupie...or a performer. LOL At one time I did some consulting work for a music performance trust fund in NYC. The gentleman who hired me was retired from CBS and was a great man to work for! You are right about female music attorneys...still don't see too many females in that field. Damn...wish I was younger! Unfortunately, there are too many young musicians out there who believe they're going to be the next star, and it just doesn't happen as easily as they think it does. When you consider the number of band out there and how many are signed....there just aren't alot. And they don't realize it's the artist who rakes in the really big bucks...not the members in the band! I've heard so many horror stories from guys who backed up the headliners...and didn't get paid...and had no pension, health care or any other benefits paid on their behalf. Pretty sad really. And that begins another whole story! LOL And by the way....sure can understand your being pissed off. Being a feminist won't get you anywhere....except on the "bitch list"! It's all about what you know!

  9. i'll stick w/the traditional Christmas music w/bells (chimes) and an organ, please. (album somewhere in mom's sub-basement, prolly useless by niow).

    Might I suggest something a little different? A friend of mine just had a recent release on DVD called The Young Messiah: Messiah XXI which features Gladys Knight, Roger Daltrey, Jeffrey Osborne and Chaka Khan. It's quite different but very good. You might want to read the review (short but sweet) on alibi.com. Happy Holidays!

  10. This is less true in the movie industry - the women seem to be more organized there. Sounds like you were a pioneer :thumbsup:

    Thanks Dude! Along with a great lady in professional music, Florence Nelson, we developed and co-chaired the Organization of Professional Women In Music in 1993. The response to this group was outstanding, and in 1997, we realized that we needed to be more inclusive in our undertaking when minorities came to us and expressed their unique issues to OPWIM. That's when I presented the concept of the AFM Diversity Council to former AFM President Steve Young who was fully supportive of the concept. I was named chairperson and it became a reality within a matter of 2 months time. I remained active until 2001 when a new administration came in and replaced many of us with their personal preferences. Yes, the industry can be very political, but I am pleased that the AFM Diversity Council still exists and continues to work for the betterment of a more diverse industry...including women! I may never make the history books...but it's nice to know that whatever small part I undertook might one day make a difference for someone else!
