Kevin Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 It's called the Calgary Stampede, Ry... It's a weeklong "rodeo" although most people just go there and act like it's spring break! It's yet another of our Canadian excuses to get terribly drunk for a week straight. I think there is actually bronc and bull riding going on, but who cares about that? 'Eastern' bas*ard !

Levis Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm the inquisitive sort, y'know. Now, we all live with people and work with people and so on. And SF is just part of our routine and integral cog in our daily life wheel. So who all in your social circle - family, friends, colleagues - know about this place and that you post on it?

The Seeker Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 No one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Good question. As for family, just my wife, Joann. And she just reads the posts. She's never posted to my knowledge. If you ever see a post from Uncle Joe saying what a wonderful guy I am and how handsome, and how she adores me well...you'll know it was her. And one or two DJ's from our Classic Rock station whom I've recommended to visit SF and perhaps two or three fellow music lovers. I'm not at all secretive. I'd only mention the site to fellow music lovers and that narrows the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) not that many really... I have recommended the site and a few of my friends asked when they saw the t-shirt, but I don't think I mentioned the forum... not that I know many people who would be interested in a music forum (and who I'd want to see here ) Edit: now that I think about it, I'm sure a few people have seen me posting more than once... they never asked me about it though...

Levis Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I've mentioned it to my friends too, even though they're not really into music (no wonder I'm hooked to this place) ... and they haven't poked around and that's good because I don't want them too. My mother knows it's my addiction though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well hubby knows I'm addicted to this site....He loves music, and he knows quite a bit about music, but he hates to type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 The easier question for me to answer is: who doesn't know. My sister, my co-worker, my son, my friends, anyone who chooses to have a conversation with me that goes beyond normal small talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Most of my friends know and when tehy´re home they read the posts sometimes. But they don´t post, some don´t care that much about music, others don´t have time, others don´t speak English very well... My husband knows about some songfactors I tell him about, he loves UncleJoe´s sense of humour and loves Kula Shaker so he´s grateful to Radhi, etc. I think somebody in Madrid knows I post here because once I got an answer in Spanish and it looked like he knew me. Not that I´m famous, but I might in some small circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 You're likely being stalked - you should consider buying a shotgun , sharpening the kitchen knives ( and keeping one close ) , or buy a mastiff ( which will probably kill all your cats ... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Oh, you must mean Eddie "The Liar" Pearce. A writer for "The Evening Tattler", a 6 bob exploitation rag. Hangs out in the pubs until 2 AM spinning his yarns. Nice guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Twice today when I was at the drug store, I was approached by men. The first time was inside, and this guy came up to tell me, "I'm not going to hit you up for money," and proceeded to hit me up for money. The second time was in the parking lot as I was backing out of my parking spot, a guy ran around to the driver's side and knocked on the window to tell me he'd seen my Roger Clyne window sticker and is going to go to the concert in Mexico in October. This type of thing happens to me on an ongoing basis, regarding being approached by strangers for one thing or another. My question is this: do men just not think about it before they do these things? Women have to be aware at all times, and I, for one, tend to get a little freaked out when a man I don't know approaches me in a parking lot, or a store, or whatever the situation is. I even had a guy pop around the order box at a McDonald's last week, and whatever he said I didn't hear because I was too busy screaming "Jesus Christ!" he scared me so bad. And he didn't look homeless... he looked like he was on his lunch break from the office. What makes guys think this is acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Shawna, you aren't used to this yet? It is undoubtedly your extreme beauty and the aura of charm and kindness that surrounds you! Ya got me kiddo. Men are just freakin' goofy, is all I can say...

MarcM Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Shawna, you should always carry mace. Spray everyone that startles you. That should keep them from doing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 The last cop I ran into didn't take kindly to it , though ( and I was rather startled ! It wasn't 'technically' mace , either , it was Tabasco Sauce , but you get the intention ) ... 'routine stop ' , he says - B.S ! He was a stalker in my book ( though I did give him the rest of my beer to rinse his eyes out , and some Vicks to line the inside of his nose with , sweetheart that I am ! -And he was STILL a bit uppity about it !?!? ) You can't trust ANYONE , Shawna , better to mace first and ask questions later - that goes for queer looks from the staff at a drive-through as well !

edna Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 You should take your mp3 with you all the time. As this kind of things happen very often everywere, at least you´ll be singing and you won´t even notice them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ahhh , such is the world now - nobody notices anyone else with one of those on . No wonder some people get violent looking for some attention once in awhile . Subconsciously , I think she likes it , in a way - Hey ! She's approachable , non-threatening and interesting to some which gives her many opportunities to interact with 'the world ' ( and , however , sadly a 'soft-touch ' for the evil-minded ) ... I've suffered the same fate , oddly , Shawna , for most of my life , for better or worse ... Consider yourself ' one of the good ones ' instead of disliking it , dear . Your aura must be very good !
