Official Luthiers Forum!

Haha! I guess I was setting myself up for that one. I'll have to remind myself what website I'm on next time!

Well, now you have heard of it. It's also simple courtesy. Sure, it cannot be practiced perfectly due to a wide array of variables, and that's why I added the qualifier that we do not know enough information to form a good opinion in this instance.

You may have 25 years experience selling, but I also have three decades of experience buying and selling. Changing ones mind and pulling the sale is a different matter, and is the sole prerogative of the seller.

I found a nice piece of anigre at a local hardwood store.
Nicely quartered,
enough for at least 3 sets of Weiss backs and sides.
Went back a week later.
Gone!
Ya snooze ya loose!

Well Filippo, every good convention started off as an opinion ; -)

The best conventions are those for which opinions are absent and the drinks are free.

Hey, don't joke about that.
I'm still really upset .
I did thank the guy there,
because I didn't have the money anyway.

what gets me is that " myself included " we seem to post more comments on stuff like this than some of the builds guys are bustin there humps on.

From here on out I am going to make a concerted effort to ignore stuff like this completely and focus on peoples work.

And that's about the extent of any comment you're likely to see from me. These things only live if YOU give them life. Those who choose to contribute (IMO) like the drama and make the choice to keep it going. That's why you don't see me post on these topics (except in this rare case) I don't. So I won't.

When I was about 4 years old I had to go to the doctor for a check up. My mother must not have gotten the laundry done or something because she made me wear my sisters yellow frilly panties. The were kind of fuzzy with white lace and such. I would have been proud of them had I not been a BOY (thanks mom). Well I get to the doctor and everything is going fine until he decides I need to have x-rays on something. I forget why or what, but the material point here is that they were FULL BODY X-RAYS. So I had to strip down to nothing but my underwear...er...panties and lay on a table for x-rays. So there I am naked except my sisters lace panties exposed for a doctor and couple nurses to see. One of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

Was the above post on topic? Eh whatever. Nothing like a John Mayes cross-dressing story to add some much needed brevity eh?

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

No pictures necessary, John! I'll put this in the same category with the kickback story, words are better than pictures!

John, Is that why you grew up with "gravel in your guts and spit in your eye" ?
I suppose you could write a song but some how " a boy who was x-rayed in his sisters panties" doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "A boy named sue" does.

My biggest problem with this whole thread is the poor grammar in the title

Thanks for sharing, John. Hey but now that the cat's out of the bag, you should definitely do a regular column on your blog called, "Deep Thoughts by a Cross-Dressing Luthier." I'm thinking this could be huge and a great way to launch your.... No? Not a good idea?

Okay, never mind.

I've been wearing frilly panties ever since my wife found a pair in my glovebox

How to Start a Fight

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale.

And that's how the fight started.

Hey Simon, sounds like my place. So the lawnmower refuses to run after taking the winter off. My wife suggests that I ought to fix it and cut the grass now that spring is in full vigor. Mulling it over, I did what I believe any of you here would have done.... work on my guitars in the shop. When I came out, she's sitting cross-legged in the middle of the yard cutting the grass with a small pair of scissors. I walked into the house without saying a word. I came out and dropped a tooth brush on the ground next to her and said "Don't forget to sweep the driveway".

And that's how the fight started.

When I was a kid I used to shoot my BB gun at everything. My Mom would say "You're not going to be happy until you put someones eye out with that BB gun!!!!"

Fortunately, I never put anyones eye out with it.........but in her defense, I've never really been happy

Very funny stuff here!
Here's something really funny that happened to me today.
A bit off topic.
My landlords are getting a deevorce (Link?),

Isn't that funny?
I already started packing up wood and looking at all the "shtuff"
to pack and get rid of.
