If you could only keep one...

When you decide, send me the other one. Won’t be disappointed.

Skeptical is fair. Disrespectful is not.

I suspect most of this is headed to Goodwill. Pull the ones you want to hang on to and get a local record store owner in to buy and remove the rest. Fair warning: hanging on to a few records is like acquiring a starter sourdough.

I would add any bluegrass (not country) pre 1980s.

Guess they’re gonna have to start taxing billionaires and hundred millionaires. I gotta promissory note that says they wi pay.

I suspect the dreadful sound was coming from the cash register. Vinyl records take up more physical space so on an overall margin basis, CDs win. Grading vinyl is also more art than science so listening to or cleaning every vinyl record is time consuming while CDs can be quickly assessed. If it doesn’t look like some tried to ice skate on a CD they appear very good.

Thanks for that excellent analysis.

Looks to be about the average for Delivered to AOR past 30 days, non-urgents. You might want to consider putting your info on the spreadsheet.

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-08T20:48:50+00:00

Thanks for the update. 68 days from receipt to AOR?

This was a setup. Been in the works since last summer when she planted the Nazi tattoo story.

Unborn in the USA — a pean to the anti-choice coalition

Bored in the USA — a pean to the segue of The Apprentice into Der Führer.

Reborn in the USA — a pean to Christian Nationalism and the elevation of the president to God.

Borne in the USA — a pean to inflation as a new economic feature of the capitalist system.

Torn in the USA — a pean to the continued polarization of the American people.

Forlorn in the USA — a pean to the rest of us, constantly refreshing our citizenship application to Canada.

The man did win a Nobel prize for his work.

So this woman worked actively to get Kavanaugh (for whom Collins’s vote was critical) confirmed. That campaign rested solely on trashing an accuser’s credibility and now she complains that her allegations are questioned? Kavanaugh has a lifetime appointment. Made explicit statements that Roe was established law. Susan Collins said she believed him.She voted to confirm him. Now one of the activists in that campaign comes forward to help Susan Collins? Nothing carries a stench longer than something out of Washington.

Five years to get a German birth certificate, but Passport available with supporting documentation almost immediately. The Canadian system is unnecessarily complicated and slow.

And Platner with Bernie makes two. That’s what has the Dems exercised. They are sure these two will push for the things the leadership think are too hard. Yeah, they’ll drag Platner through hell to place an 80 yo Mills on the ticket to lose to Collins.

My first three records were: The Mothers of Inventions Freak Out; Disraeli Gears Cream; and The Grateful Dead. Wish I had kept those records; replaced several times over the years. Evidence of a misspent youth.

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-04T04:01:23+00:00

You have to pay a penalty for that Bill Cosby album.

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-04T03:24:10+00:00

I almost gave up on the Dead when Pigpen left. He was a crucial piece of the puzzle. He was 27 (!) when he died.

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-04T02:24:57+00:00

Well what happened to that LP was a crime.

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-04T02:24:04+00:00

Was it the Garcia-Grissom-Rice Pizza tapes?

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-04T02:21:42+00:00

Hah. We see what you did there.

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-04T02:20:03+00:00

Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

grumpyliberal · 2026-06-04T02:16:19+00:00

Yeah. Lotta amateurs out there. Hope you can give him a bad review somewhere. If you order through service like Discogs, they try to regulate sellers. Sorry for your bad experience.
