I looooooove burgers, probably way too much. I can eat an entire burger too and the fries that come with it. Don't care for beer tho, too bitter. Makes me feel really awkward when I visit someone and they offer me a beer; I always turn them down. I'm like where's the vodka?
And it's def Monday around here. There's a major Verizon outage in the county and surrounding counties of where I work. Customers can't make or receive calls but can text and email. Why did land lines have to go out of style?

mmmmm....burgers. i actually made a HUGE hamburger steak for dinner last night - just meat and Heinz 57, though. it was my reward for almost 17 miles on the bike.
where are you, bethanie? i saw something on the wire earlier about an outage somewhere, but i'd already forgotten about it...i figured it was fixed by now.

I don't drink much (like 2 drinks a year-ish), and I've never met a beer that I liked, even back when I did. But I will take down a burger. Slap a little cheddar on there and I'm yer girl!0

yeah, i hear you...i'm pretty much over beer. but i do love a George Dickel and Diet Dr. Pepper now and then.
there are TONS of great burger places here in Nashville...if you ever find yourself in this neck of the woods, dinner is on me.

Haha you're on! I have been to Nashville once, many moons ago, but I didn't get a chance to see much. I bet you could show me all the cool stuff!0
-
well...there's still a few cool things left. somehow, Nashville has been declared as a predatory location for developers these past few years - they're ripping *kitten* down left and right here to put up luxury condos and hotels and the like.
downtown - the Lower Broadway area - is essentially Redneck Disneyland these days.

I work in a suburb of Raleigh. It's coming back up already but people are throwing a fit about wanting to be refunded for the 4 hours they lost phone service. Not data service, phone. Chill peeps, most of the bill is for the data anyways. Wooosaaahhh peeps.
How do you guys like your burgers? My hubby is all about kill it twice (well) and I'm a medium kinda girl.
Steak; knock it across the head, wipe its butt, and drag it across the coals, pausing slightly lol (rare side of medium rare). Hubby likes it killed twice. Blah0 -
your hubby and i would get along famously.

Anyone ever take in that Bob Segar song Nightshift....or wait...maybe it is night moves...."working in the night shift...."..great...now I don't know. Either way...I forgot what I was posting about.0
-
i'm a little pissed at Bob Seger right now for re-recording "Mainstreet".
there weren't nothin' wrong with the original.
(but, yeah...you're thinking of "night moves". now, the Commodores had a song called "night shift"...)0 -
Love Bob Segar...but why would he try to fix what weren't broke? Sigh.0
-
sometimes people do that because they don't own the copyrights to the original recordings. more than a few artists have had to go into the studio and completely re-record new versions of songs because the record label owns the masters to the originals, and the artist has no rights to them. if they wrote the song and had at least some hand in the publishing of said song, they're at least in a position to earn writer and publisher royalties off the original recording, but labels are uncanny about making artists' sales royalties vanish into a sea of accounting paperwork after enough years go by.
in a lot of these artists' cases (Gordon Lightfoot comes to mind), the labels that own the masters are no longer in business, but have been bought up by one of the two or three labels that are left today, and they're legally prevented from re-releasing their old titles, no one knows where the master tapes are, or there's simply no one left that's in a position to negotiate with.
the music business is more crooked than a northern California mountain road. i'm not sure why anyone would get into it if they knew beforehand what lay in store for them.
(and i'm not REALLY pissed at him...i get it. at least whoever played Pete Carr's guitar part did it the honor of playing it exactly as it was on the original. that's an iconic riff, right there.)0 -
@hamptontom -I actually know a tiny amt about royalties and such. My stepdad, who died almost 3 years ago, was Bill Dees. He cowrote the song "Oh Pretty Woman" w Roy Orbisin and toured with him in the 60s. Almost 3 years after his death, we've finally just gotten his estate settled. Do yeah, I know just enough to know I don't want much to do with that industry.0

Bill Dees - didn't he also write most of the music for that movie that Orbison did, too?
They're not making 'em like him anymore. And Nashville is still full of guys like him...I run into old-timers around town every now and then who have great stories about the old days. I love the history of this place, but there ain't much left.
Considering the paper trail of your stepdad's copyrights, I can't even imagine what you guys went through to get from point A to point B on his estate.

@bethanie0825 I've learned not too long ago we kill the flavor of food by cooking it way too much. I've discovered I like my salmon and tuna still able to swim, too.
I won't mess with poultry though.0 -
I saw this and it is an out and out LIE!
I worked in a steakhouse for YEARS and the majority of people ordered it Medium-Well. It was disgusting.

maybe i'm the outlier, but my taste would tend to fall between "wait..." and "..what are you doing?" on the chart above.
not a fan of bloody meat. sorry.

Yeah, I overcooked some steak the other day. I rarely eat it and now I have steak jerky.0

It's not blood though. The juice, while red in color, is technically not blood but a mixture of water and myoglobin (a protein in the muscle fibers responsible for giving meat its red color). Blood is actually removed during the slaughter process.
ETA: Grammar is not my strong point before my second cup of coffee...
Second ETA: You like your steak how you like your steak. As long as you can stomach what you've done to it without A1 or Heinz 57 or any other 'meat accents' then more power to ya.0 -
He actually wrote a good number of songs with him, I'm not 30+ I think. And yeah, between selling partial rights, my disabled mother having to fight his kids, and a botched Trust, it has been a long road. But she has enough income now to be relatively comfortable, so we are content with that.hamptontom wrote: »jennifer_417 wrote: »@hamptontom -I actually know a tiny amt about royalties and such.

My parents like to cover their meat with sh** like that, while cooking at it. they actually get annoyed I cook my meat plan. I tell them add it at the end if you want, but I prefer to taste what I cooked, not the crap added on.
My father always covers chicken on the grill with bbq sauce when I step away... drive me nuts because he knows I hate it. I mean it, covers.0 -

I like dipping cooked chicken in barbecue sauce after it's cooked. I tend to avoid most sauces now because I find they add a bunch of calories I don't REALLY need. I might work sauces back in when I'm in maintenance.0 -
