I did take him to a music store before Christmas and he was kind of mesmerized by all the stuff in there. He did get a kick out of trying out the drum kits, but they were adult size. It's good that you got your son a real kit, because I think people waste their money on those ones from the toy store. They're not nearly sturdy enough for a kid to pound on. The only drumming we've done here is on Guitar Hero World Tour. It gives him a bit of an idea of what it's all about. I'd like the boys to learn real instruments though. Thanks a lot for the advice. I think I'll sign him up for some lessons and rent a kit to see how it goes. HAVE A GREAT DAY METALHEADS!

If he wants to play drums then let him. Zakk is getting his first kit for his birthday next week. He has been taking lessons on an electronic kit but when he gets home his legs aren't long enough to reach my bass pedal or hihat pedal so we decided that he's shown enough promise to get his first 'real' kit lol. At 8 years oldhe's figured out what is getting his attention and the sooner you start the better. Drum notations are easier to read than any other sheet music but I suggest you get him to some formal lessons asap. Piano is also good and well, every boy wants a guitar lol. Also if he can figure out his timing now from drums my theory is that it will be easier for him to grasp another instrument but you'd hate to get him something that he has no iterest in. You get the most amazing children's drum kits' The one we're getting Zakk comes from a music store (as opposed to a toy store) It is a direct replica of my kit and it has amazing sound. The children's kits usually come with a throne, hi-hats, crash and the hardware. Take him to a music store and let him get a feel there.

Hi Joe, I hope you get some rest this week. Watching them in swim lessons is fun. It's neat to see how they improve from week to week. Wait till they start taking music lessons or playing team sports like soccer when they run in packs after the ball. It's hilarious! Just trying to figure out the music thing for 8 year old. I think guitar or piano would be a better 1st choice, but he wants to play drums. Any suggestions out there for what would be a good 1st instrument?

Hi Guardian Angel.. They are pretty much full time now. Last year they were at a playschool and it was 5 days a week but they went 8am to 12:30 pm. Now the go from 8am to 3pm.
As much as I sorely need the extra time in my day, I am missing them something fierce! And I'm soo tired this week! I think I'm having a harder time to adjust than they are (don't get me wrong this is a fantastic thing) lol. I'm just really lost without them around. But I'll get over it lol. Zakk also started swimming lessons yesterday. He's been pestering me for a year now and that boy had a smile on his face from the moment he stepped into the pool until he had to get out.. and then the tears started lol.
It's so cute seeing all the little kids in their swimming caps and gears all swimming in a structured class lol.
Becks, how is your sister in law after her wreck? I can totally identify with what she may be feeling now. I had a pretty bad crash when I was 22. The car was a total write off and it took me a few years to get the courage up to drive again. Once I got back behind the wheel, I was pretty nervous for a while but in time, it did go. I'm much more careful now and much calmer. Give her time, don't pressure her to talk about it but be there for her when she needs to talk about it.

It's Monday morning, my kids are back at school and I feel a little lonely (crazy, I know lol)
They're just growing up way too fast for my liking. They started their first day at their new schoo. This is more of a preprimary than a play school so now the structure really begins. The teachers are very big on teaching them independance etc so they ask that we just drop them at the door, kiss them goodbye and then leave. No walking in with them, carrying their backpacks for them or even carrying the kid into school.. which is pretty much what I did at their old school lol. So this morning, we get to school, they grab their backpacks, barely notice I'm there waiting for my kiss and are clampering into the school all full of wonder and excitement.. Had to steal a kiss on their cheeks as they rushed past me lol.
Omg! I've turned into one of those mothers who cope less with new school changes than the children do lol.

Joe - she's ok so far as we know, Craigs mum just said she is feeling very sorry for herself and upset that she hurt her boyfriend (he is just bruised). You're right, she'll talk when she wants to. She's going to the AC/DC concert with us in two weeks, hopefully by then she will be feeling a bit better about things, and may even have a new car. The one she wrote off she'd had for about 10 years, so she had plenty of use out of it. She's just needing to replace it sooner than planned now!

I'm so glad you met a South African on your cruise Guido! And welcome back. I started replying yesterday but poof! My keyboard had other plans lol. So I'm on my trusty old laptop now. Well, I like to think that most South Africans are pretty friendly people and I bet if you'd ask she would have said she was a metal head! lol (I can't be the only one right? lol)
Well good morning peeps! Man is it cold here. LOL!
Yeah, I just got back, Vail. Overall, a nice little trip. República Dominicana, St. Thomas, British Virgin Isles (BVI) and the Bahamas. I got limited news on the boat but saw that the majority of the country is gripped in a cold spell. I'll spare the membership from pics of me peeling from too much sun. JP cross pics to come, though, in the pics of you thread.
I love cruises because you meet people from all over the world. My favorite? A woman from South Africa. Made me think of you, JoeD, every time she spoke as I have had limited contact with the accent prior to meeting her. Too cool. Never got a chance to ask about her tastes in music, but still...
Ok, a few pics to come once I unpack a bit. Until then, a big "happy birthday" to those friends that I missed. Know that I was thinking of you! HAAAAA!

Becks. It really sucks if what you said about Haiti is true. All the more reason it should receive a good amount of aid. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, January 12, 2010 10:27:19 PM)

You know, my cousin in Chico mentioned that they had a bit of a shaker. Way north, right?
Still, they build and expect shakers there as they do here. Ever look at the data sheets? Surprised me to see that the biggest US earthquakes were CA and TN! I would have guessed CA but Tennessee? Yup. Biggest lake to me is Reelfoot that was formed when a massive shaker got the Mississippi flowing backwards for a time in the 1800s.

There was an earthquake near Eureka (a city about 200 miles north of here) a few days ago and it was 6.0 on the Richter scale. There was damage, but no injuries.

I am guessing that it will be bad once they access the damage. I knew they had a fault line running under the country but a 7.0 is going to be massive in certain parts of the country as they didn't build to withstand such damage. I sit on the New Madrid fault and even have earthquake insurance.

JP cross pics to come, though, in the pics of you thread.
I love cruises because you meet people from all over the world. My favorite? A woman from South Africa. Made me think of you, JoeD, every time she spoke as I have had limited contact with the accent prior to meeting her. Too cool. Never got a chance to ask about her tastes in music, but still...
Ok, a few pics to come once I unpack a bit. Until then, a big "happy birthday" to those friends that I missed. Know that I was thinking of you! HAAAAA! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Sunday, January 10, 2010 8:44:15 PM)

Are your kids full time? That was my big eye opener. All this "free time"! I think it's great that your kids ran in without a second thought. At least you know they'll be ok, and they didn't go crying and clinging to your leg. Don't worry, they still need you!

Good morning peeps!
It's Monday morning, my kids are back at school and I feel a little lonely (crazy, I know lol)
They're just growing up way too fast for my liking. They started their first day at their new schoo. This is more of a preprimary than a play school so now the structure really begins. The teachers are very big on teaching them independance etc so they ask that we just drop them at the door, kiss them goodbye and then leave. No walking in with them, carrying their backpacks for them or even carrying the kid into school.. which is pretty much what I did at their old school lol. So this morning, we get to school, they grab their backpacks, barely notice I'm there waiting for my kiss and are clampering into the school all full of wonder and excitement.. Had to steal a kiss on their cheeks as they rushed past me lol.
Omg! I've turned into one of those mothers who cope less with new school changes than the children do lol.

hey Spapad reason i asked is because my mom had the same problem with her car untill i bought her this baby for christmas last year
not enough power in the battery to start the car or the battery goes dead just hook this thing right up to the battery terminals .its been used quite a bit and has never failed.not to expensive this one was on sale.might want to keep it in mind.
Thanks for asking Hellrider, it's been stuborn to start but it really does much better than the factory batteries I'm used to. Tomorrow is suppose to be up to 33 degrees! Should be feeling like Sunny Palm Beach after the past few weeks! I Can't wait! (Quoting Message by hellrider 31038 from Sunday, January 10, 2010 9:07:10 AM)

Wanted to say "Hello" to you and see what is happening. Ron, VERY sorry to hear it, my friend. Please know I am rooting for him. Hang tough, man. I do know how it is. Justin, always great to see you back on the Board. Wish you would not be such a stranger!
Well, I am off to see what I can do about this diabolic device.

Our cat is quite vocally disgusted about the weather- I can't blame her, especially after a weather station 10 minutes down the road apparently recorded -18C (?!) last night making us slightly colder than Moscow.

The last few days/weeks leading up to a big gig are always the most exciting, I hope the anticipation never exceeds the result- though it's AC/DC so I bet you'll have a great time Becks.
Our cat is quite vocally disgusted about the weather- I can't blame her, especially after a weather station 10 minutes down the road apparently recorded -18C (?!) last night making us slightly colder than Moscow. Currently I am watching the frost form on the inside of the window pane. Hope others out there are enjoying better weather!
Hello everyone, friday has come once againn. Less than 3 weeks now till AC/DC, can't wait!

Those kitty booties look hilarious! The cat doesn't look too impressed though.

Happy metal new year to you all! It's nice to see people are sounding generally happy. That's cool! As for those complaining about the weather, I would really like to feel bad for you, but here at home in the Great White North, it has warmed up to 3.2'F. Warmed up. That's right. It was frightfully frigid between Christmas and New Year, around the -18'F range, without the windchill. BRRRRRRRRR!!! I feel cold just talking about it, and I'm sitting here in long underwear. And I doubt I would survive without my block heater and interior car warmer. It cuts the chill in the van a bit, and keeps my Priest CDs working.
[Deep Freeze] Monday, January 04, 2010 7:50:29 AM
Good Morning, all! So, it would appear that we all made it through yet another year! Great to see you all here on the "other side". So, once again we find ourselves attempting to "get back in the swing", as it were. I read Ron's comments with great amusement. Ron, my friend, I do "get" what you are saying. I recall with fondness those days! I know it would seem odd but I do remember returning to the "grind" and getting back to work. How I miss it.
I have a good feeling about this year. I cannot say why exactly. Just a feeling. It's going to be hard to top the amazing year I had in '09 but I suppose we'll see. More good times and great music ahead! Let's get this party started.
[Head banger] Monday, January 04, 2010 7:24:08 AM
the headlight thing sounds bogus to me. something to gently warm the battery would help but.... unless you buy an electric wrap for it and remember/find locations to plug it in.... dunno. my last car I bought used, replaced the battery after 4 years. maybe I was just lucky. 11 miles should be enough to recharge it fully, I would think.

Is it true if you turn your headlights on for 30 seconds before cold cranking a car it will activate the battery and give you a better start on extremely cold days? I'm really shocked by this battery as most cars I've owned I've had to replace the battery in 2 1/2 o to 3 years. Go Honda!!! lol

Hiya, PK!! Tonight it'll be all about eating buñuelos (yummy!), watching the countdown on TV with my mom and lighting up a bunch of candles.
It's been a good but challenging year and an equally challenging decade. The Priest is back and here's hoping they'll greet the new decade with a butt-kicking new album and a great concert DVD. It can only get better from here, right, ladies and gents? Happy New Years Eve (and Happy New Year to those who already saw it arrive).
Guido. See ya later and have fun on your trip!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Painkiller87 from Thursday, December 31, 2009 9:03:04 AM)

Well now, here we are again! Another year has past and we remain a huge, loving family. I cannot think of anything better! For this, I am grateful.
Throughout all the years we have seen so much. So much. I am sometimes just so amazed at how this site has morphed, evolved and grown. We have lost some. We have gained some. And through it all, there has been that unending, tangible, real family. For this, I am grateful. As much as we have changed, we have still remained the same. The caring, devoted fans that make up the core of this site remain some of my dearest, most precious friends and for this, I am grateful. We have been lucky enough to have many opportunities to spend some time with the mighty Priest in various parts of the world and for this, I am grateful. Some of us have spent time getting to know one another in a more personal way. Sharing our history and building our future and for this, I am grateful.
It has been a wonderful year despite our woes. And, lest we forget, life will always have obstacles. Trouble lurks. We deal. We survive. Please never forget that, no matter how difficult things may seem, we are here. We are together. We are one. We have each other and we have music. The tie that binds. That which brought us together and that which has held us fast can never be taken from us. We ARE one and for this, I am MOST grateful.
A VERY Happy New Year to you all. I sincerely love you.
Mike

*yawn* Just dragged myself to work today. Should've called for vacation, but oh well. Had a great Christmas weekend, and I hope everyone else had as well. I prefer simple celebrations now, and I don't know why. It just seems to be a new thing now, since for the past couple of years these get togethers with the family are getting smaller and simpler. Even Thanksgiving was small with only some of my step family and some family friends. Could just be the times but that doesn't bother me.
[joedraper] Monday, December 28, 2009 4:55:29 AM
Hi Blah dwellers!..
I kind of missed the whole Christmas vibe here because I was sooo distracted by the fantastic time we were having at home.. But better late than never so, Merry Christmas everyone! I've made some amazing friends here that I treasure deeply and have been educated, informed, shocked and amused so many times thanks to this diverse board and its valued posters!
I'm busy winding a transformer for an amp I'm making so that is taking up a wee bit of my time. So far it seems to be going ok.. Two more transformers to wind and then I start putting the rest together. I am so keen to see how it will turn out. I've been wanting to do this for years and now Craig finally has the time to help me get it done (he's like a master tube amp builder and I got sick of just watching and listening to the finished product ha ha ha).
And er Brandon, LEARN TO SPELL!
Really! Enough already, your post are difficult to read and I think you can spell, you just get a kick out of not trying. If you really have a problem then please get help. You will benifit from it in the long run. At this moment in time, I just skip over most of your posts because it's just not worth my brain power trying to decode what on earth you are trying to say. Surely I'm not the only one thinking this?
[guidogodoy] Sunday, December 27, 2009 9:52:25 PM
I also agree. It it just too much to believe that someone can spell so poorly. "Mi vs. my"? "Theire?" No. Sorry. Don't buy it either unless he is in the second grade or a non-native speaker. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brandon Taylor from Sunday, December 27, 2009 4:56:21 PM)

What a wonderfully lazy day this has been!! Haven't watched any football, instead have been watching The Librarian series (right now it's the Curse of the Judas Chalice).
Broke in the new waffle iron and hot chocolate maker...deliscious with strawberries and whipped cream!!! Just finished eating grilled bacon cheeseburgers!!
Great to see Strat making a visit back to us...best of luck in school!!
I went back to IE because Firefox wouldn't allow me to use some apps, and I have absolutely NO problems here at JP.com!!!
I'm very happy to see we've all made it through Christmas...off this coming up week and I really am at a loss on how to fill up some of my time...any suggestions??

Broke in the new waffle iron and hot chocolate maker...deliscious with strawberries and whipped cream!!! Just finished eating grilled bacon cheeseburgers!!
Great to see Strat making a visit back to us...best of luck in school!!
I went back to IE because Firefox wouldn't allow me to use some apps, and I have absolutely NO problems here at JP.com!!!

Don't worry, Spa. It'll all end eventually.
Unfortunately, the US doesn't have the best of education systems, but come on. I went to a public school in one of the poorest areas in Los Angeles county! I didn't have the best education either, but it was up to me to make an effort to spell better, write better essays, etc. Plus, there are alot of users here who don't have English as a first language, and the majority of them spell just as well as most of the native English speakers/writers here. Ultimately, you are in charge of your own education, and eventually your life. A boss looking for a good employee won't accept someone who can't spell 'the' properly.
Look, it's okay if you can't spell properly right now. No harm, no foul. But at least take the time you have here to improve the way you write/communicate. Remember, even if you're done with school, you never really stop learning. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brandon Taylor from Sunday, December 27, 2009 4:56:21 PM)

Nope, I guess it's not a crime.
You gotta improve eventually though. You're in high school, right? You're going to be asked to TYPE essays in the future. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brandon Taylor from Sunday, December 27, 2009 4:46:45 PM)

Brandon, while the human brain can interpret what you type because you have the right letters in all the wrong places, May I be so bold as to suggest Mavis Beacon typing so you actually make sense! Nine bucks, and you can be on the road to typing in a way people don't have to strain to read what you type. Just a suggestion, for I have never seen anyone type so bad, and yes it is so bad it looks contrived. If you don't know what that means, look it up.

Contrive: to plan with ingenuity; devise; invent: The author contrived a clever plot.
