Deep Bowl before Thanksgiving Dinner.
Mid-Depth Bowl after dinner.
Super-shallow bowl after dessert and turkey sandwiches.
Mark Twain was asked what his favorite word was. His reply, "Thanks".
I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
I know I have much to be thankful for. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | T-giving plans were very much in flux this year, but seems to have come into focus. Talked about an extended weekend in Mexico - didn't happen. Wife talked about flying east to see the kids - did that a week earlier. Moody talked about visiting - didn't work out. Sooo, turns out it'll be the wife and I along with a family we know. Julie is a "Big Sister" to this 10 year old girl who has a pretty unsettled life. Mom is on prison, lives with grandma but it's just a mess. disabled great-grandma now lives with them. They haven't got a pot to pee in. You can picture it. Anyway, we're having that whole gang over for T-giving so that should be pretty interesting. Makes me thankful for how boring, predictable and comfortable my own life is. Dave |

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! While you're at it, be sure to say a prayer for our boys & girls in the service - they will be missed this holiday. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Andrew, I know that Dave is an advocate of those contour bowls, and he is far from being fat, so there must be some other reason for them. I didn't care for the feel on the one I tried.
I don't know if I'd buy anything from a skinny baker.
By the way, what happened to that Ultra GS you bid on. I thought I'd sneak up on it. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | When my folks used to be snowbirds they loved having the family Thanksgiving and heading south when, after hallowe'en, they'd get to have another Thanksgiving with all the other frostbacks.
We get to have ours when the crops are fresh off the field and after Hallowe'en there's little other that Remembrance Day to interrupt all the Christmas presents you're making...
Ri-ight! |

Y'know, if you just keep putting up new strings as the old ones burn out, you get a nice 'garland' effect around the eves of the whole house!

Just like Jason, I too was in a similar situation many years ago where I once found myself lining up for food stamps. Now that I'm in a more comfortable living position, although far from perfect, I don't forget where/what I once was. |

By the way, what happened to that Ultra GS you bid on. I thought I'd sneak up on it. I got outbid at the very end, on a busy work day when I didn't have time to stop. I wasn't too serious on it, just curious, and at that price...
Oh, and for the record, I'm far from skinny. NOT a thin, "in-shape" guy approaching thirty...more of a average height, average build with a bit more than average gut fluctuation... :rolleyes:
Honestly, I haven't found an Ovation bowl I don't like...just different. The contour on the 12-string is awesome, but I don't really care for it on the 2005's I've played. I like playing the shallows on stage, (not from gut interference, by the way) but overall I think the mid-bowl is still my personal favorite overall.
Got to go sleep off the turkey now...I may change my mind about the reason for the contour tomorrow... :eek: |
