Probably many a person thought about it, but decided it wasn't worthAroma different, mouthfeel different, tasteYup.
different.
I wonder if anyone's thought about pursuing the
manufacturer for deceptive advertising.
going after.... the effort, anyway.... :)
Company lawyer: we said I can't believe it's not butter;
we never said you couldn't believe it's not butter.
Yes... and foreshots accepted, too.... But you appear to have eitherforeshots and feints, too.Ok... feints sounds like A... but the ones I mentioned didn't follow
the rhyme's direction....
Feints was another example, but foreshots go along with.
missed my point or ignored it... :) All the words I listed don't sound
like A as in neighbor or weigh, but generally like I (or E, in the case
of either and neither)....
Probably read right over it. I'm not supposed to
ignore anyone's posts, but things may occasionally
fall through the cracks.
Not really.... Some of them challenged me more by their choices...And I was never a commercial person... :)
but that also happened once with a non-family member...
It's kind of fun to be stretched, but I'd not have
gone out of my way for someone who didn't seem to
live up to my standards. Not a good attitude for a
commercial person, but I wasn't great at that either.
Sometimes I wonder if it would have been more
fun had I been a wealthy man, but there was that
guilty conscience thing - did I cheat 'em too much,
and did their children starve in the gutter as a
consequence?
Probably... I didn't have to make a living at it... which was a good thing... ;)In general, I found myself playing better for clientsAs with my piano teaching, I didn't really have a lot of gigs or students... just enough to have a steady trickle (not even a

Eh, it probably is better for your psyche not to
have to rush rush and scramble scramble.
And there's that too.
Oh, how romantic.... Was Traviata Puccini...?Ok, that's what I thought... Verdi had his share of that sort of
Traviata was Verdi. Come to think of it, this in
fact might also have been Verdi.
heroines, too.... :)
Oh, yeah. Sex sells, almost as well as death.
but you may have heard of him. We called him J. LoathsomeYes, I heard about Levine's demise thanks to the #metoo movement...
Toad, which name he partially deserved. That was mild
compared to the vile accusations slung against other local
potentates such as Ozawa and Levine (most of them true).
along with other icons....
Nobody's perfect, but some are more imperfect
than others, and some violated even the laxer
norms of the day. The maestro, well, going after
the young and vulnerable, that did not go unnoticed
- nor uncomplained about. The rich patrons gave him
a pass because they thought he was a great genius,
but was he really one - I thought not, and is
anyone a great enough genius to make up for
ravishing children, and my answer to that is no.
Wouldn't they need to be listed in the ingredients still, though...?I meant on the packages for the sweeteners themselves, not when they are listed on other products.... :)
They're often listed by brand name. I don't know
a requirement for them to be further broken down.
Oh, yeah, for sure, but a certain amount
of weasel wording is allowed even there.
Generally faster, though, as I noted earlier, FontaineI've accompanied some musicians who were like that... not particularly a pleasant experience....
was the house keyboardist of the Detroit Symphony and had
once had quite remarkable chops, so when she couldn't do
up to tempo, the frustration showed (not to the audience,
but to us).
Sometimes it's interesting, especially when it
doesn't get out of hand. There have been
performances that benefited from bizarre levels
of nervous tension, angst even.
That's impressive.... how long ago was that....?The "he" that told you was the pianist...?
Thirty-something, when I was thirty-something. That was the
pianist who took the coda of the Saint-Saens violin sonata at
200 something, when it's marked at 160, and Heifetz took it
at 180-ish. I didn't pay attention until he told me when
listening to the recording of a performance we did in Boston.
Yeah - he was the only he in the story except
for Saint-Saens, who was dead at the time.
Not so much in this case... well, maybe, but we are spoiled by Fu's more than reasonable prices... :)We all need places like that in our back pocket.Rochester tends to have a lot of that around... ;)
Good thing is that second-tier serviceable places
most often charge second-tier affordable prices.
The better to feed you with, my dear.
