Hey folks. I appreciate the supportive posts. I didn't reply sooner because I regret posting about what I'm going through. In general, I'm a deeply private person, the stoic, suffer in silence type. I didn't know how to reply. Would I simply say thanks and nothing more? Would I respond to...

I've thought about posting in this thread and haven't, until today. Barely holding it together, alternating between depression and anger boarding on outright rage. Let's just say I was, what we call in Canada, a Crown Ward. Childhood was extremely unpleasant. Things happened to me that...

Yes, she took the navigator's spot but only in an emergency situation as I recall. In fact, lots of random crew have leapt at the helm/nav console during emergencies. It's simply one of the most important systems when the ship is in danger. Now, if Uhura had stayed in a command gold uniform...

There is absolutely nothing in the original series or movies that indicate Uhura is in the chain of command. She was never given "the conn" and the vast majority of her screen time is simply "Hailing frequencies open, Captain". While she may have been, and most likely was, a department head...

Is there any actual, legitimate point to your post? The character of Uhura, was never, at any point in the original series or movies, said to be fourth in command. Every single scrap of evidence shown on screen indicates that she wasn't even in the command chain. She was the switchboard...

Starfleet was very clearly established as the military arm of the Federation in the first season of TOS. As for Nichelle Nichols "forcefully but tactfully" telling Meyers and Bennett it wasn't military... It was her personal opinion and, quite simply, as the saying goes: "das macht nichts"...

Couldn't agree more. I loved Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap and was excited when he was announced as the new captain. That excitement faded quickly. Whether it was the writing and direction he received or his take on the character doesn't matter. It just didn't work for me. I've watched ENT all...

I don't have a lot of hope for Cleese's revived Fawlty Towers, for all the reasons folks have mentioned. I've never found Cleese that funny without a strong team around him, whether it was the six Pythons or Connie Booth co-writing and co-starring in Fawlty Towers with Scales and Sachs...

Both my "junior high" and high school music room had raised levels, basically just step height. Flutes and clarinets were front row, on the floor. First "step", second row was sax, trumpets, French horns and trombones. Second "step" third row was tubas and percussion. There were no strings in...

"Brassy spitty things"? Ha! Love it! Playing the flute in concert band meant sitting in the front row. Brass was behind me. Blech.

;) Who just plays one note at a time on bass?

That's not just you, that's just sheet music. It gives you the notes and chords, tells you the key, time signature and tempo but feel is another matter altogether.

Funny thing is, I'm a guitarist that actually prefers playing bass. I think it's because, since I do 90% of my writing on guitar I subconsciously think of a guitar as work and the bass is a vacation. I just feel more free wandering around the neck of a bass.

As a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist I've been know to play a few. Like most kids, at least in our school system when I was a kid, I started with the recorder in Grade 1. I started playing the flute in Grade 7 and my folks got me an acoustic guitar the same year. I wound up playing...

My wife and I are homebodies anyhow so the only two things that have really changed for us is she's working from home instead of her office and I do the grocery shopping solo. Oh, and I don't get to try new guitars in the store first before buying them.

Shall we break the issue down, across the globe, city by city, county by county, province/stay by province/state, country by country? Shall we start searching to see what, if any, laws have been legislated that prevent people from going here or there in a given region, from one owned property...

Like I said in my post, well aware of both sides of the issue, and largely agree with the position of the rural communities. In fact, in my post I already covered what you just said since I was explaining the reasoning to someone who asked about their stance. Now, for the sake of...

The first thing I'm doing is recording three albums. My wife and I moved into a small apartment with the intent of staying until we bought a house. I wanted to get back into music and freelance journalism full-time and she works M-F, 9-5. It was perfect. She went to the office, I worked at home...

The concern is that they'll be a drain on limited supplies, resources, if they get sick tax a small medical infrastructure, etc. And that's fully understandable, and I largely agree but if I could afford a second home in an isolated community I'd be inclined to go there too. If I'm paying...

I have to disagree with you on Voyager. I find the show infinitely more watchable than TNG. The characters are better and more relatable, the acting light years beyond what the majority of the TNG cast were capable of and yes, great connections between the characters. My wife, for example, had...
