Clarky, VFRocker
Telemarketers / collection agencies - same thing basically.
We received a phone call once, a middle aged lady asking for our son (7ish at the time). Asked what it was regarding - said that they had to talk to him. Advised them that he was only 7 (or so). Said didn't matter - they had to talk to him. We responded, we are his parents - said so what - we have to talk to him. This went back and forth - basically, they did not listen to us. They were looking for a person with the same name, but was 43 years old (maybe if you add 4 and 3 you get 7 - but whatever). Eventually, we got it through to this ladies head that it was the wrong person, and that our 7 year old couldn't have incurred this debt legally. We tried to get to a supervisor - but to no avail.
Same happened to me once - some lady calls me about a doctor debt to a Dr. Smith (name changed) - I said WHO? They re-stated. I said I have no idea who that is - when did I have the service with him - it was at a time when I was in Canada and the doctor was local to me. There are several people with the same name as me - I said i was born in 19XX - what year do your records show that I was born in - oh - 19XX -12 years. Wrong person.
EVEN BETTER
When I rented an apartment - about 4 times a year I would get a call from an equity mortgage company - please get an equity mortgage - we will give you money for vacations, fixing up, ect. I would always say sure, I could use the money and I don't think that the landlord would mind - he is pretty cool about things like that - click - they would hang up on me.

Clarky, I definitely agree with you on the whole age of the universe thing......theoretical physics may be easy to pick holes in, but you can't really do much to undermine the speed of light. If a star is ten billion lightyears away and we can see it, i'm guessing that kinda buggers the theory of "the good book".
opticalstudio, haha, thanks dude, you're too kind! I'll have to be patient I think and see what happens in a few years time.....the music industry is really hard to judge, mainly cause of the music media.....bastards!
michelle, haha, that's hilarious! Sounds potentially painful too! Yeah you can tell from that photo that Joe's mom is just full of pride.....she looks so happy to be there with him, it's lovely!
thanks for checkin out those tunes, glad you liked them! Just wondering, which one did you listen to first and which second? Was it Red Square first? you said the second one "got you with the bounce", and I'm just wondering which was the second track you listened to! hehe. Sorry, that was one long-ass question!

Veteran CBS News Anchor Dan Rather to Resign
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Veteran newsman Dan Rather, embroiled in a recent journalism scandal about President Bush (news - web sites)'s service in the National Guard during the Vietnam War, will resign in March as the CBS network's top news anchor, the network said on Tuesday.
CBS, a unit of Viacom, said Rather will remain as a correspondent for the news magazine show "60 Minutes" and other assignments.
"I have decided to leave the CBS Evening News on March 9, 2005," Rather said in a statement issued by CBS.
"I have been lucky and blessed over these years to have what is, to me, the best job in the world and to have it at CBS News," he added.
Rather said he began talks in the summer with his bosses about when would be an appropriate time to step down and decided to wait until after the recent election, which saw Bush elected for a second term.
Rather has been anchor for CBS's main evening news show since 1981 and won the hearts of many with his colorful language and quirky turns of phrase. He succeeded Walter Cronkite, dubbed "the most trusted man in America" for his perceived objectivity.
But in an enormous blow to its credibility, CBS News in September said it had been deliberately misled over the authenticity of documents it aired in a story challenging Bush's military service.
"Based on what we now know, CBS News cannot prove that the documents are authentic, which is the only acceptable journalistic standard to justify using them in a report," CBS News said in a statement at that time.
Rather, who reported the story, was forced to apologize on national television.

Hey Joe, i know your busy and probably wont get this, but i thought i'd try.
Ive been playing guitar for a year and a half, and id say ive gone pretty far for that amount of time. There is so much to do to get better. I can handle the practice and everything i need to do to get better, but there is this one thing i cant stand. When i play fast, its hard to keep my right hand picking and left hand PERFECTLY in sequence. What should i do?
and...
I have a les paul studio and i like it, but it isnt too playable in the higher frets. So i want a second guitar, this time, light, easy to play, great upper fret access, and whammy bar. What should i look at?
Great music joe, keep up the hard work. Maybe one day we'll be on g3 together....in 5-10 years lol.
