This may sound awfully silly, but I can't figure out how to do this. It's probably very simple, and I will feel dumb for not realizing it, but oh well. 

Click on the thumbs up icon. That will take you to a new screen. Then just follow the signs. It is simple, but that doesn't mean it's a snap to figure out.

haha, okay. Thank you so much. 

I usually go round in circles a bit, then think, "It's probably very obvious. What if I...just...do this?" Then I worry that "doing this" will make something explode or result in some weird, unanticipated outcome.

Just remember Samson, the only stupid question is one not asked.

Unless you're in an upper-division probability class and you raise your hand and ask the prof to explain the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

I guess it wasn't a stupid question, just an imprudent one. You should have seen the tongue-lashing he got from the prof.

Even then Arch, if you did not know it then you should ask.  But I see your point.

Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons? How do you know when to tune b->-bleeped-<-ipes? What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?   

Majorly sidetracking from the subject to answer this but... the answer was in a movie called Imagine Me & You. Which is a totally amazing love story movie about two lesbians, one of which who didn't realize she was gay. It's my favorite movie but anyways, here's the answer they say. Luce: "It never happens. If there's a thing that can't be stopped, it's not possible for there to be something else which can't be moved, and vice versa. They can't both exist. You see, it's a trick question is the answer." Sorry burst out laughing when I read that so I had to throw in my useless trivia even though you weren't really looking for an answer

Sadly my next door neighbour tunes his b->-bleeped-<-ipes. I'm in Australia, he and his wife retired from Scotland. They are charming people. I have never understood a conversation with them. I still don't know (understand) her name. He likes to play the pipes in the back garden. Tuning is very simple, you make an awful sound and the adjust it so that's it's painful. Once the fence shakes you are close. You then fine tune by making sure no wildlife is in the area. Ah just on key. I used to have teeth, I now have dentures, the teeth fell out on the key of eight.

Have you also noticed BTW that the fighting Scottish Regiments, who are awesome and I respect, go to battle with the  Pipers behind them, they never retreat. Never had a problem knowing why

Sorry Joking

Cindy,

Perhaps you could suggest that: A gentileman is someone who can play the b->-bleeped-<-ipes, but doesn't.

In the b->-bleeped-<-ipe band I played with when I was in high school, we tuned our pipes at the start of each practice or pre-gig warm-up.  If you're playing alone, you tune when the 3 drones and the chanter stop sounding like they're in tune with each other.  Just like any other instrument, I suppose.

Well, according to that definition, I have turned into a gentleman!

Mmmm, I love the b->-bleeped-<-ipes.

I love everyone on this site. It's so much fun.

Is a Haggis a premature Bag Pipe?

I'm sorry, I still don't see them. Is there something wrong with my account?

I don't see anything wrong with your account?  you should see them.   Could maybe post a screen shop of your screen?

Blue, it takes a certain amount of posts before you can see them.  I think it's around 50?
