Hey, don't be prejudiced LOL. Some of us had to rely on dial-up for the longest time, like me, until they finally installed DSL out my way.

At the time, Nina told me that Kira had a job as a manager, maybe a service work, in addition to the rock band to manage. But since then, things have changed, I think. I hope they have income that I don't know ... I suggested that they make a Patreon, but would we be enough to feed it? and thus avoid the overcosts of the cam sites. I don't like to tip them on CB, knowing that they only get a small amount of the money. Would rather pay direct if they would give a good show in their own bedroom 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be in the forever buffer stage. The Image would move for 1/10th of a second then take a minute to buffer to play another 1/10th of a second. DSL is a lot better but speeds can be good one time and not the next. Fibre Optic Cable is the best route but if you llive out in the Boon's Cable may not be an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, some of these younglings won't understand, but this was our internet porn back in "the good old days." As the late great George Carlin once said, "there ain't nothin GOOD about 'the good old days'!" And if someone picked up the AT&T beige-colored SlimLine phone to have a chat with whogivesashit, it was always right in the middle of downloading Barbi Benton.

Le5b0 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Il y a 4 heures, West_California a dit : Le5b0, did you Apologise to Nina ? There's plenty of time...They're in the Tub ... NO! I have not apologised to Nina. What for? Everyone knows she is inherantly lazy, it's been said before, so many times, it's in her DNA. She herself may not even think she is lazy because I think her MIND is always hyperactive, she thinks she's working hard, yet doing nothing physical. I have always said the girl is talented, she is so strong willed and can sing the pants off a lot of the so called female STARS we have around at the moment. She has a presence on stage that cannot be ignored at times. IMO her problem is that she wants to be controversial, not commercial. There is less chance of fame in being controversial, especially these days when so few want it. I've listened to her music and that of the band, even bought some of it. There is a musical problem in the band in that the lead guitarist (if it's the same one) thinks his guitar should be prominent at all times, so there is this clash between him and the vocalist (Nina). Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple had the same problem, he thought he was the main star. Formed his own band Rainbow to have complete control, fired most of them at various stages because there was not enough room on the stage for more than one ego (his). The only one capable of holding his own with him was the incredible Ronnie James Dio, but even that could not last. So until that little musical conflict is sorted out in her own band, then they will always struggle. I do not know if she does, but maybe just going out doing solo gigs would be a better option for her, it could certainly be less expensive, as I get the feeling that her financial input to the band is greater than the rest, though if someone knows different feel free to let me know. I was not knowingly having a go at her earlier, just saying what I see. Maybe some thought it harsh, but it's (pun intended) reality. I get the feeling that KIRA is the biggest draw in this apartment, certainly most of the comments on here seem to favour her. She is a little gem, a shining diamond. Yet Nina does not seem to do enough to help her out and take care of her. That was my earlier point. Kira is so precious, she needs to realise this and do more to help her. She did it once, for a few weeks, after Kira went away without her, most of us know when and why she went away. On Kira's return, she did what she should have done much earlier, and still do now. She cleaned, she cooked, I think she even did the washing once or twice. She made up the photo board of their best moments together as a special treat and they were much happier then. Watching some of last nights replay, on the sofa in the lounge, they were anything but happy! Kira looked so sad as if she was about to burst into tears at times. Now whether that is because of their relationship at the moment, or maybe just her health concerns, I do not know, and probably never will. The thing is if Nina does not take care of her, then someone else will. then what will Nina do, she cannot fend for herself, that much is obvious. Sorry to you all for the length of this, the ramblings of a mad man, and these comments should not be taken too seriously. But apologise to NINA, NO! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
