A B-flat student trumpet in decent nick. Craigslist and Ebay are pitiful pickings right now. Knowing that the cellar is a musical place, I thought I'd ask...... if any of all y'all have one lying around that your kids no longer need and you haven't got round to selling, please PM. Am looking to pay as little as possible (of course), but willing to pay market value as long as I'm dealing with someone I can trust/bitch up if they sell me a lemon. Newbs need not apply.

thanks :) ]]> Home Base monster http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=23473 Homeowners Ass http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=23459&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Aug 2010 05:49:10 GMT From BoingBoing

Academics may "fight so hard because the stakes are so low," but housing association tinpot dictators fight hard over high stakes indeed: the power to run your neighbors' lives down to the tiniest little detail. Here's a collection of seven insane homeowners' association rules, every one of them abusively applied, putting a lie to the old chestnut about not worrying about crazy rules because they'll never be enforced.

1. Thou shalt not plant too many roses
A Rancho Santa Fe, California, homeowners' association targeted Jeffery DeMarco for exceeding the prescribed number of rose bushes allowed on his four-acre property. When DeMarco balked, the HOA levied monthly fines, threatened foreclosure, and ultimately defeated DeMarco in court. After a judge ruled that the willful rose enthusiast had violated the community's architecture design rules, DeMarco was forced to pay the HOA's $70,000 legal bill -- and lost his home to the bank.
Oh Man, this shit makes my blood boil.:mad2:

None are? None is? They’re both correct.

The girl that I marry. No, it doesn’t have to be whom I marry.

Since you asked. It’s totally legit to use since for because, unless it would cause ambiguity.

Healthy choices. Many of us have been taught that it’s healthy people but healthful foods.

“Till” was there first. In recent decades, somebody launched the mischievous rumor that till is a substandard form of until.

Verbing nouns.

“And” can start a sentence. So can But and However.

Misspelled is not misused. Errors like “faster then a speeding bullet” and “taking a lot of flack” are mistakes in spelling, not comprehension.

The adverb can be “wrong.”

You only live once. Spotting “misplacements” of only is a hobby for some picky readers — they’d rewrite that sentence as “you live only once,” so there’s no way to misinterpret it.

I'm back in Mississippi and working as a police chief. You know -"In the Heat of the Night". I'm spending lots of time with my kids (ages 26, 17, 14, and 3). Ole Miss football is just around the corner & deer season is fast approaching.

I don't have much of a love life. I guess I need to save my money & plan a trip to England.

I have a male cow orker who is getting married. I say that it's not proper to just bring wedding gifts to the office and give them to him. I think they must be sent or delivered to the bride, in care of her parents, whose address is the one on the invitations.

My friends think I'm crazy.

I just drove drunk for the first time in like 10 years. To be honest I'm not trashed, but am probably pretty close to the new legal limit in WI .08

Also it was a 1/4 mile round trip (yeah I went and bought more hooch) still, I'm not particularly proud of this.

Anyway I want to hear some real confessions. ]]> Home Base blue http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=23411
