I was treated to this sunset driving home. I just had to pull over and take a picture. When I got home, hubby was saying that the local news station was talking about the sunset.
That’s stunningly beautiful. I adore the sky and sunsets like that. It’s those kind that make me sit back and cry. Thanks for sharing that with us, Ahh Girl.
It was too beautiful to keep to myself. Glad you like it.

Isn’t the beginning of HCTS one of the most beautiful things ever? Definitely my favourite intro of all time to a song

Beautiful.
Love things like that, and seeing the happiness on folks faces. The lady leading the singing had a really nice voice.
And yes the intro to Here Comes The Sun is beautiful. I honestly can’t see how its possible to play it and not make me smile in any guise it comes.
Thanks for that ASJ.

Offline My love affair with 2001 Toyota Corollas began in 2000 when I got my first one. It is silver. We have had a 2010 Corolla and now have a 2011 Corolla (I’ll tell that story another time), but I still love the ’01s. Mine has 237,000 miles on it, and hubby is afraid of me driving it too much. I found a really good red used one in Tulsa with 112,000 miles on it. The seller was asking the Kelly Blue Book price for it. We drove up and bought it today. It is in better shape than mine for sure. I might get my silver one worked on bit-by-bit and get some more life out of it. One reason I like them so much is because they fit my short 5’1″ frame. All the newer cars make me feel like I am sitting in a well.
On the way to Tulsa, I put in Ringo’s “Photograph” cd. Hubby was playing Candy Crush, but stopped and sang along to Snookeroo. He knew the song from long ago, but he didn’t realize that Ringo was the one he had heard singing it.

Offline Done with those bloody exams.
Today was the last one, Psychology and it went absolutely terrible. It was do difficult with all these theories about the cortexes and stuff.
I passed both Sociology and the one about groups, musical activities and communication. So that’s already 6 ECTS. Yay. For both exams we had to get 70% right in order to get a satisfactory mark (?) and I only had a 6 out of 10. Ah well, I passed. A lot of my classmates didn’t, and in the other class, only 4 people passed the Sociology exam. A lot of people also didn’t pass the second one. It was quite shocking.
Now I only have 2 exams left to get the results back of. I’m pretty sure I’ve passed one of them, but I’m afraid I might not have passed Psychology..

Offline Nice for some to be done with exams, isn’t it 
Nah, only joking I’m glad you’re doing so well. Best of luck with the Psych one. I love that subject/field, but I can definitely see why it’s hard.
LHL, I wanted to continue our discussion on the Paul and no-meat thing here as I don’t want to derail the thread. As a veggie myself, I can be biased about things like this but, as someone else pointed out (mja?), is it really fair that he bans people from consuming it if they want to see him? And about the work thing – no, nobody is going to turn paid work down, but it’s unfair that they can’t carry on with their normal diet because of that (regardless of the health benefits having a vegetarian diet may have). It’s their body, their life, and their choice. I adore Paul, and I’m passionate about vegetarianism, but it’s a human right to be able to choose what you feed yourself with, and nobody else’s. Paul is amazing, a legend, but not even he has the right to dicatate in that way IMO.
Moving along in our God given ways, safety is sat by the fire/Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, left with a mark on the door.

I’ll throw this into the mix: some places won’t hire people with certain “bad” habits such as smoking. That’s the one that comes to mind. Will those “bad” habits expand to other facets of life such as being overweight? or eating meat if it is seen as an unhealthy diet? Who knows where this is going.
So, yeah, Paul’s thing is part of a bigger societal question in this day and age. Interesting, but I don’t have the answer.

Offline I may be missing some information but I’m still mystified as to why Paul providing vegetarian entrees for catering means he’s dictating what people eat off the clock/when he’s not footing the bill? I admit I initially was under the impression there was a strict rule but again, I refer to the thread when we discussed this before, if the drummer is openly talks about eating meat during tour stops, it doesn’t sound like a ban. If someone’s catering, you don’t have many choices, regardless of their political alliances.
And as far as not eating meat one night that people are going to see Paul… eh. I mean, can’t you grab something before the concert?

Blah I know what you’re saying Emily, Christmas exams in 2 weeks (why so early…) and they might be on the 29th as well (of all days to make me sit exams 
, I’ll just cry quietly at my desk then, shall I?) It’s good that I’ll get them out of the way though, I’m working at a state house every weekend after the 1st of December (don’t ask what I’m doing it’s embarrassing but hey money’s money) That also includes the 8th of December though 
Gah life is difficult

I thought so too, but after acmac mentioned that Abe talks about eating meat on tour, I now think I got that impression from sensational tabloid reports
And strict ban or no, honestly, I just wouldn’t expect Paul to provide meat options in his catering.
Edit: It reminds me of a story mentioned on the morning radio show I like that Paul has even banned faux animal prints in his dressing room in his rider, but I haven’t seen confirmation of that either. Sounded like another dramatic tabloid story.

Hard to do I know, but at least as far as personal pressures go – don’t get too hung up on it if you can manage. My cousin never finished school, had a break, got a job – went back later in life and has a couple of Uni degrees now.

I was also under the same impression, and I believe it was true of his late ’80s/early ’90s tours. I’ll whisper this very quietly, but maybe it was more a Linda thing, as she became more “evangelical” about vegetarianism, and since her passing he has relaxed a bit more about it. However, he certainly does insist that crew only eat vegetarian at the venue, and has told local crew at venues that if they were not prepared to go along with that, their services would not be required.
Now, as the one who brought up the thing about it being his right to decide what he is prepared to offer as far as catering, I have no problem with that. Not allowing them to choose whether they want to use his backstage catering or bring their own alternative I’m not entirely supportive of. I think what people choose to eat should be their own choice.
I did find this Guardian interview with him about vegetarianism from 2010, where on-tour catering is discussed…

Thanks for the link, I was having a hard time finding a source.
Well, there’s this paragraph:
One of these long-time crew members, Kevin Smith, agrees. “There are usually some people at the beginning of a tour who’ll say, ‘I’m not eating that s**t, I want real food.’ But Paul said, from day one, ‘Go buy your own burger, just don’t bring it back here and eat it, have respect for what we do.'”
Which, I dunno – I can understand that. He’s saying you can eat what you want, but if it’s meat, just don’t bring it to the work place. Again, I’m not a vegetarian, but I respect that level of commitment. It’s not the same as saying, “If you’re a meat-eater, I won’t hire you.”

I found it interesting that he actually let his kids try chicken once to see for themselves. That certainly goes against the “Veggie or else” stance that some on here feel Paul gives off.

Though, of course, his response might have been different had they not disliked the chicken dish, but started jumping up and down declaring that they loved meat, and they wanted meat all the time, and to try lots of different kinds.
