...I will buy you two tickets to Nearly Neil, who is a tribute to your favourite Jewish performer Neil Diamond. Unfortunately he's off to do a tour in Australia here shortly, but I'm sure he'll have some local dates around Van once he returns.

I buy you two tickets, so you and your husband can have an enjoyable night out. Perhaps Nearly Neil can be the spark that re-ignites your long-dead marriage.
No need to thank me, since I'm generous by nature.
I'm pretty sure Mr and Mrs CCstein are touring all the German *COUGH* 'Death' camps for the next month or so and raising shekels for Israel, so I doubt she'll be able to take you up on your generous offer. :laugh3:
Drop em off at the "Moldy Dick" and we'll make sure someone uses them
More important, big bucks .. JackPot ac_dance . I won the "how long I'm leaving forever would last" contest Quote from: "Mel a short while ago"
So, now you know it. Now you got it. And now you can whine about me for the next five fucking years, even with my absence ....
One
Ace is over and out.
Quote from: "cc"
Thanks and chow
for now
Try to be nice, and this is what you get. Jews...
On the other hand, come back to the homeland and see Neil in person.
I, sadly, won't be there...not my cuppa...
I did mention he'd be touring Australia for a bit, so she'd have to wait for him to get back.
Double Double
I won again. My money was on 4 - 4.5 hrs "I'm never coming back" would be back
So many shekels today ac_dance
Let me guess, ANOTHER trip to Israel booked?
Quote from: "cc"
But no Nearly Neil? I offered!
Naw. I only do originals ... AND only when they are "on their game"
Neil lost it some time back. Saw him in a CBC show from Toronto a few years ago and he no longer had it ... not even close .. I felt so sad I had to stop watching
It's OK, I still love him ... he was good .. when he was good
Not strong like Jews ... Cohen was still strong at an age 20 years older than when Neil lost it, and all lesser humans lose it :icon_wink:
He just couldn't tap into enough of that Jew Strength...
Then again, not everyone can perform the same as they could at 30 or so, when they're 70. Getting old just happens, even to the Jews.
Aw, but he did " tap into" it. You didn't read what I wrote
"Cohen was still strong at an age 20 years older than when Neil lost it, and all lesser humans lose it"
I'm talking about Diamond! You do know he was a Jew, right?
I'll take 'performers that CC didn't know were Jewish' for 800, Alex...
You would always win on that
I usually don't keep think about what people are. It would take something obvious like "Cohen" to make me even think of background
Seems you sure make a point to keep track ... and that specific one would not be of any interest to you,
yet you knew??
Heritage interests me. It's why I spent money on a DNA test.
Au contraire. That would have been for YOUR heritage.
That has nothing to do with others .. but you sure do keep track of jews
I am not as biased as you think, CC. I like to compile data for my brain. I have big time ADD, and this is how we can be at times.
Just like I know that George Lucas was NOT a Jew, but went on to become a very successful Hollywood producer.
I see. That makes considerable sense
Knowing true facts about people, and what they do, helps me to form my own opinion of people, race, religion, etc.
I don't much care for the crap the mainstream media pushes into my eyes and ears. I prefer instead to do my own research on people and things. And part of that research often includes the ancestry of people, which oddly enough I remember without even having to try...
While I never think about people's heritage unless they make a thing of it, from what you said I understand why you would do so
We all have our own "things" that matter to us .. for me it's all about ideologies .... and personal character .... most other items are mere passing interest to me
Neil Diamond had one...ONE...hit record that was a live "Greatest Hits" from 1972.
And that was chiefly because it was probably the first example of a major production of a live performance, recorded capturing the magic and excitement of one (actually it was over a number of nights) concert that clicked.
It set an example and raised the bar of live performances forever, and for that he should be lauded. For his music, not so much.
Appreciation of types of music is always personal to each individual.
Fame etc. says nothing about anyone's actual talent ... especially when most of the world is tone deaf and rhythm stunted
Well, This ain't good
Diamond released a statement on his official website announcing the diagnosis. Sadly for fans, this means that the third leg of his 50th anniversary tour has been canceled.
Mate's good friend, an older gent we had become friends with, we made a website for had it - We did a 60 + page site of his writings and tips on "living alone with
parkinsons"
he had the slow kind and survived 25 years with it - A very ugly illness - - a very ugly ending

A very ugly illness - a very ugly ending
Very sad news.
No-one should have to suffer that awful disease.
Why do you think I mentioned Nearly Neil? I knew the real Neil was calling it quits even before he did...
Quote from: "Bricktop"
It's terrible.
The 'health' part of my genetic test did include Parkinson's. Luckily I'm not predisposed to it.
You have enough mental problems.
My physical superiority makes up for them...
Sure - make it about you and your worthless ego. You can't stop yourself
Moving forward, the gent we met outlived almost everyone with it ... 25 years is almost unheard of.
He immediately went into "study mode" and learned the things to do and eat etc .. .drugs to use, drugs to not use, exercises, vitamins etc etc and survived all on his own
He had been writing for years to share what he leaned for others but had no may to get it out there
Mate got to know him, a fellow condo tenant ... I proof read / edited all his work and did art work for it. Mate made a site for him and made it prominent ... one of the most rewarding things we have done
After he died mate tried to get someone with the illness to expand on it but never found a taker. We shut it down a couple of years ago
At this time we are regretting not trying harder to keep it going and expand it further

No, it's my thread about Nearly Neil, and Neil Diamond, which you two chose to post in.
I welcome posts. I even welcome BrickTop shitting up my threads, since I have no choice in the matter.
So yes, in my threads, I can make it about me, Neil, Parkinsons, and mental and physical issues.
Just like
Clueless prick ... all about me ... attention whore

I speak the truth. That's why people dislike me. I speak the truth, and will not align myself with any posters, cliques, nor any political or racial associations, for the most part.
I do what many posters are unable to stop themselves from doing. It's a sign of personal strength. I roll solo... One man wolf pack.
I .. I ... I .. I.. I ..I attention whore ... You just can't stop yourself
Quote from: "cc"
I started this thread. BrickTop started to derail it. I roll with the flow!
Start your own fucking thread about your neighbour or friend...
Listen up lowlife attention whore
I'll post what I want where I want when it fits, and thanks to your topic content it fits purrrrfectly
Suck it up and be a man instead of a snotty "all about me" little boy
Well, then you must like me enough to stay in this very thread! Ace is always welcoming to thread topic shifts. I'm dynamic that way, unlike many of those that post here.
Back to the topic at hand... These are bad diseases/inflictions, what have you.
I've spent a lot of time in complex care facilities, and the body and mind don't often grow 'old' at the same time.
I think it's worse if the body gives up before the mind does. Yes, assisted suicide may be on the way, but I cannot fault a guy for running a .357 Magnum round through his brain, should he be diagnosed with one of these incurable shit diseases.

People dislike you because you're an asshole.
That's all.
