962- thankyou! Yes the champagne would probably smash in the post, or the postie would probably half inch it! lol!!

Steven- Thanks too! I think that much red wine will be consumed over the next few days. I've nearly had a nervous breakdown over the past few days, no joke! This moving house experience has taken my brain to the brink! We had to finish packing / boxing up / tidying up today, more or less finished thank goodness. I have the day off Friday... it's exciting, bit at the same time a HUGE pain too!

Jazzzzzzzy- that sucks if you and your room mate aren't getting on; good idea to move rooms to avoid any more misery! You can be a crybaby if you want lol!:-) Will let you know how things go on Friday...

Pfields- Cheers, how have you settled in to your new house? Last time we moved, it bucketed down with rain- that always seems to happen while you're trying to make a mad dash with the TV!

Michelle- yep, it's a weight off our minds! Until Friday!

Cheese101- It's funny you should say that, when I was going through some paperwork stuff earlier I found a whole load of stuff I forgot about, old photos and little ornaments etc...

Thanks everyone for your kind words, it really helped!!! :-)

CUTHBERT- i took the quiz.... heres what it said -

LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

it's true.... take prescription meds, you get pharmaceutical companies who employ scientists to research drugs, obviously a conflict of interest..... if that researcher doesnt bring back evidence to show drug X is effective for condition Y he won't be paid for long..... trials are influenced by bias, when the research comes back showing drug X is effective the FDA approves it, now insurance companies will cover it and the pharmaceutical company banks..... they hide evidence that shows anything to the contrary, look at prozac and vioxx.... this is what happened with anti-depressants being approved to treat anxiety......yeah, ANXIETY..... the patents on the meds that work (benzodiazepines) like klonopin and valium expired....now everyone can make the stuff and no one makes money cause no one has a monopoly on it....everyone has to sell it cheap, it's now $13 for a month supply....you cant bankroll on $13 a month.....so they get research to show SSRI's are effective in treating anxiety.... which is ridiculous as anxiety is GABA related and depression is serotonin related....two different neurotransmitters, two different drugs.... independent double blind - no drug company bias research has shown that SSRI's, like zoloft, effexor, paxil etc are just as effective as placebo in treating anxiety, but due to the research the pharmaceutical companies paid for it shows otherwise, gets FDA approval, is now all over tv stating it's efficacy, is covered by insurance and the off patent drugs that have been shows for years and years to be effective are touted as being "old, addictive, reserved for those who don't respond to more conventional treatments".....more conventional, you know, placebo.... two docs diagnosed me with social anxiety, forst one gave me paxil.....i didnt take it, second one gave me lexapro.....which is celexa XR, renamed and remarketed cause the patent on celexa expired....imagine... didnt take that either, asked the doc about the meds that DO WORK and he got pissed "klonopin is addictive, u take this or thats all" i said see ya and got the meds I need from india.... this is the shit im talking about

Hey Joe. Hope you're fairing well. I got plenty of your albums this Christmas, including your latest and I have to say it's just fantastic. There's plenty new stuff on there and I love Hands In The Air! :-D

Get well soon mate. Hope to see you again in Newcastle upon Tyne :-D

Hey wabmaster man, it would be nice if you could keep us updated from day to day about how Joe is doing. Or Joe man you can do it yourself :P Get better man, you're the last person that should be sick.

TEN COMMANDMENTS The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse! You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment!

hahaha, i totally agree... so true, yet so funny

cuthbert: I took the quiz, said i was centrist; that makes sense..

Michelle's right...and don't you forget it!

Newbies ~ we have a fantastic cd featuring the folks here at T2J who have recorded their own ORIGINAL songs onto one compact disc titled SATCHERATED FEEDBACK.

Here's what Joe himself had to say about it ~ "The T2J CD is finally available for all to enjoy! You've got to check out how our fellow musicians here at satriani.com are writing, playing and recording. This is a great CD, the first of many more I hope! --Joe"

At the request of Joe Satriani, proceeds will go to the International Red Cross.

You can find it at www.Talk2Joe.com :-)

I like to hear new young talent...old ones too!!!

Steven Wilde,

Once again very welcomed kind words from you!

Question: With all the thousands (maybe that's an over exaggeration) people posting music on CD Baby, how do people go about finding new artists.

Isn't it very possible to get lost in the vast sea of the CDBaby sea, even if you might be good?

You seem to be an authority on the subject, and your attitude & opinion is valued!

Thanks for caring!

Peace, Love & Happiness Steve
