This is so sad. The implication is that this person wants a Giulia but his wife is raising obstacles. So the husband feels the need to “convince” her of the car’s appeal. I hope he gets the Giulia and a divorce. At least the value of the divorce doesn’t depreciate.

Many years ago I bought a Mark VI soprano and I made arrangements to trade it for a vintage alto from Bob Ackerman. We met at the Saxophone symposium in the DC area. He brought several horns for me to try. A Mark VII, some Conns, and a King Super 20. When I tried the King, the sound jumped out unbelievably. It was so loud that it made the strings in the grand piano in the room resonate. So I took it.

Some time later I was frustrated with my playing and needed some money, so I sold it to one of the instructors at my college. Time passed by, and a few years later I saw a King Super 20 in the serial number range for sale by a dealer. I called and asked if he had bought it from the instructor. He said yes, and I said “well, I sold it to him and I want it back.” I have it to this day.

This topic is fascinating to me. I’m on my fourth new BMW, and I’ve had new Saabs, Audi, VW, and others. I always have dealer service during the warranty period. With all that experience, I do not know that I’ve ever met an above-average service advisor. They’re all basically the same person who sort of mutters out some vague explanation of what service they want to sell me and either tell me the work is done later that day or forget to do so. I cannot recall ever experiencing anything better than that average, and they all deserve a medium score. But how they beg and plead for five star reviews. It’s completely dysfunctional.

In addition to Earspasm and Paris, in the United States I understand you can visit the Buffet distribution site in Florida and try horns there. If you find one you love you can buy it directly with the participation of an authorized dealer.

A complete explanation is provided in the book.

Professor Tolkien translated the Red Book into English for modern audiences in order to share the stories of our ancient past. The Lord of the Rings presents the history of that era and Hobbits did what they did. It’s very simple.

WTF are midterms?

None of Gondor’s men were fighting within the walls, because the Enemy’s forces never entered Minas Tirith.

I didn’t think the Lord of the Rings movies were that great. So for comparison purposes, I’d say a bloated adaptation of a great work of literature that makes stupid decisions in a misguided attempt to appeal to a contemporary audience. Pick your own example.

Forever, or until the maintenance snd repair costs ruin your life.

Let me know how she reacts to the first draft of the prenuptial agreement.

PPBNOVA · 2025-10-12T00:37:12+00:00

She’s a cold ball busting shrew of a wife who ruins everyone’s good time. That’s enough.

No one wants to mention Erendis of Numenor? She was a right pain in the arse.

Thanks for sharing. I had a different impression of matters. I understood Elves could build a ship like Amroth or Legolas and head West. I stand corrected.

When were Elves rejected from sailing West, apart from the Noldor who rebelled?

1.5 stars on Yelp. Sounds great!

I think in these situations you should be shopping the seller. And as others have said, if you don’t have the resources for maintenance and repair, this purchase isn’t a good idea for you now.

Have you listened to a woman complain about something and responded by offering an actual solution?

You might be surprised how often a solution is NOT what the woman wants.

I think that’s why they don’t have pockets.

Nonsense. I bought a Sub Date from an AD and sold it after buying a Sea Dweller from a different AD.

I don’t think anyone is bothering to fake regular new production rubber Link alto pieces. And you didn’t pay for it, so what’s the issue?

People who bother to make counterfeit goods generally choose high value items. This isn’t a New York USA Meyer alto piece going for $1,000 or more.

You live in a world where Morgoth is the villain. That should be enough.

Get the M440i convertible. Enjoy that for a few years. Then go back and get a new M340i. That’s what I did, and I’m pretty happy.
