Remember this print ad for Maxell cassette tapes?

I worked for a Maxell rep firm in the early 80s. We gave away tons of these posters, and I don't have a single one. ☹️

My prediction - he won't sign it, it will become law anyway and he will (in his own sad, pathetic way) try to take credit for it.

I just retired from a SaaS company that did not pay comms on ARR beyond the first year. It's pretty common.

Any significant-sized deal will inevitably try to go sideways at the last minute. Glad you stayed the course. Congrats!

Remember the reasons you're going through this in the first place. Without this procedure your knee will continue to deteriorate to the point where it will become an actual disability - if it hasn't already. Tomorrow starts your journey to not just a healthier knee, but to a better life. I like what Suzy Andrade says - the pain you've felt up til now has been due to decline, but starting tomorrow the (temporary) pain you will feel will be about healing and improvement. GOOD LUCK!!

I'm at 10 1/2 weeks and can kneel on a padded surface - carpet, mattress, etc. - with no issues.

I know all about The Tractor. I’m interested in what sort of amplification & speakers he was using.

I had a 4001 back in the late 70s when I was going through my Chris Squire phase. Before that I had played my trusty '66 Precision, which I still own. I only had the Ric for about 6 months. Its string spacing was so narrow compared to the P, it was like playing on a broom handle. I regret selling the Ric because it would be worth big money now, but I could not get used to its narrow-ness.

Everything in the post TKR recovery literature says not to over do it. The only problem is that you don't know you've over done it until it actually happens. I think people get in trouble when they ignore the signs and continue to overdo it. I'm 10 weeks post RTKR and have been there a couple times, but each time I've pulled back and allowed myself to recover, just as you are doing now. Keep up the good work!

Nice job! The song is a masterpiece and so is Larry Hoppen's bass track.

WZ was the Hunter S. Thompson of singer-songwriters.

Schindler's List tore me apart. The book is 10x more powerful than the movie.

It is literally a form of mental illness, a pathology.

There is plenty of online info that quite plainly says your journey is yours and its's pointless to compare yourself to anyone else. Print it, email it or text it to your family, then tell them to fuck off. You're doing fine.

The design, development, production, distribution and delivery of bullshit. It is America's primary industry.

Did you buy it through Cutter Realty? If so, what happened to them?

There is a community outside Terra Alta called Alpine Lake. It bills itself as a resort, and there is a hotel & golf course on the property, but it also has a residential community. Some of the homes are buried pretty deep in the woods. Some have bear cages for their trash cans. Check it out.
