No wonder you buy her presents.

At my age I'd settle for medium term.

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Well, I could get 'short term' as well (long term doesn't kick in til after first 6 months), but, experts are saying don't waste your mulah on short term, your savings should take care of that. Anyway, $140.00 a month to have your insurance monthly paid (company pays insurance IF I'm working, otherwise it's $1200.00 a month), plus, nice extra income coming in for 5 years seems like a smart thing to sign up for. Gets taken out of paycheck pre taxes which is also nice.

Ok, just pulled the trigger. I'm on board.

May you live long and prosper, Schmoogs'.

I really miss that man/vulcan.

Right now I am trying to convince my 10yr old daughter to use her pinky when learning Für Elise.

However, she does what she wants.

I've always thought that instrument sounded (by name) like a latin dance.

Interesting nonetheless. Did you use the Stevens technique?

...or the Picard Manoeuvre?

There is no getting away from Star Trek around here.

Just as it should be in my opinion.

Yes I did. Had to Google 'Stevens Grip'. We called it the 'Musser Grip'. As opposed to 'Standard Grip'. 

I actually prefered the Vibraphone. Here is a clip of one of my childhood heroes playing with Chick Corea. I always wondered why he used the 'Standard Grip' since I always thought the 'Musser Grip' to be superior. Musser grip is newer, maybe it wasn't taught when he was a youngster? Anyway, he's a hometown hero (from Indiana).
