This thread is hurting my brain. One conversation makes me think of what a spectacle a great operatic company must be.
The other makes me want to grab a bow and kill the wabbit.

That is AMAZING! Now you've got me reading about the strange and inspiring world of visually impaired archery...

And this:
“Singing is really about breath control and core strength – two things that are really integral to archery as well. I already had those two things. Singing and archery go really well together.”
SO TRUE! OK, I don't know how to compose opera, but I think this needs to happen. Who's with me?

I'm grumbling about TV commercials again. Sorry if I already posted about this but don't think that I did.

There is currently a TV ad about a bath tub/shower remodel that, in a big font, advertises no payment or interest for a year. In a MUCH smaller font under this is the notice that it is if paid in full within twelve months. The scam is that many people will put off payments believing that it doesn't matter. It gets to the point where the buyer has put off paying enough that they can no longer pay in full in the twelve months. If not paid within the twelve months interest is charged for the entire year even if some of the price has been paid. This basically is a loan for the cost of the remodel and the whole year's interest becomes part of what is due with the interest becoming part of the loan. If not totally paid in the first twelve months one could easily end up paying twice the original cost.

To me this is a ripoff and should not be allowed. It is a total scam and too many people fall for it.
