There is a situation with a young women I am related to by marriage. She is 20 weeks pregnant and has been drinking and doing hard drugs ( meth- coke - god knows what else).
She was talked out of getting an abortion by some relatives....although the father of her unborn gave her the money to have an abortion but she spent it on drugs.
Already had one child taken from her. Still not clean..what chance does this unborn have in life?
Makes me sick.
She probably does not even have the decency to give this child up for adoption to a loving parent or parents.
Whats my point ?.....
don't really have one
needed to vent about this wretched women. ( she is not a child she is in her mid 20's)

I'm just wondering...with this clause of only allowing abortion in the case of rape or incest. Of course, they have to decide what kind of rape it is, date rape, stranger rape, uncle Charlie rape, etc. Then they have to prove that it was actually rape, in which the woman/girl is victimized all over again. Then it has to run through all the red tape, medical findings, criminal findings etc. This doesn't happen overnight, and in most cases drags on for weeks, months, or even years. In the meantime, the victim is being dragged through the mud, emotionally tortured to relive her abuse over and over again, and the baby is getting bigger and bigger.
If this was your wife, daughter, or sister, or mother - would you feel any different?

This is nothing to do with anything about T2J, I thought I would share a song from one of my daughter's friends who formed an indie/pop band and released an EP. They are all about 15 -16 years old.

The violin is only the first 25 seconds, stick with it :)
Happy weekend.

that is not an optimal situation. we might need another 4 years to figure this one out.

Hey, anyone here from COSTA RICA? I`m moving there with my wife next year (we`ll be down in March for a week and a half to take a loo around and hopefully meet some people) and I am wondering how the music scene is, and whether or not I would have a chance to teach guitar down there. I`ve got a style somewhere between Satriani, Jeff Beck, and Steve Vai. Graduated from GIT several years ago and have toured the US in different bands. We`re not moving to CR to take our American lifestlye with us, but rather to live the way that country begs to be lived in. I`d be thrilled to be able to make a living doing what I love...THANKS!

Here's a spooky one, i've just flown out to Singapore with work and on arrival got two messages, one from my uncle in New Zealand wanting family contact numbers as he'd finally got round to wanting to actually speak to people (as opposed to emails and letters) and one from my wife saying my other uncle on that side of the family has just passed. That's one phone call saved I guess. :-(

Joe, caught in the act...
Nice interview with Joe before the recent Marshall show...lots of gear talk and a sweet lil jam at the beginning :)
Dumpster diving Joe? LOL! Gotta love it!
Off to the hospital for the daily treks....I go a couple times a day and spend a few hours with my dad however I can. Not much improvement yet, still so out of it. But we still have some small hope...it's just hard to hold onto sometimes. If he comes out of this at all, we don't know if he'll still be "there" or not. I'd take his place in a heartbeat if I could. My mom is managing with my help but sad and lonely, and Chris still needs attention. So my time gets very divided. Even more so next week going back to work.
My folks celebrated their 68th anniversary in September...so grateful we all had that time together.

Thanks very much Joe for your G3 show last tuesday 16/10 in Buenos Aires.
I live in Mar del Plata, 400 km south of B.A., and Iv travelled specially to attend to the show. It was great to see you live for the second time. Your music is like an inspiration for my life. We love it so much in Argentina! Please return next year!

Cheese - big hugs to you, hang in there. Thanks for the interview link, it was gold.
Toosh - my Mum and Dad were having drinks in Raffles about the same time as you! How about that.
