I have a Martin very similar. Unfortunately, it doesn't get touched too often (okay, that's what she said). I found them to be far more rich sounding than Taylor's which I also tried out at Guitar Center.

I did not catch the model number, but it was a 12 string. First time ever playing with one. I was really different then a standard electric (obviously). This one had its electronics stuffed inside the body and to change the battery you need to loosen the strings (or remove them) a big PITA, if you ask me. I played with a 900 dollar taylor (I think) that sounded pretty good too. I found that I needed to change my technic all around to play one.
Loved the sound and a little 99 dollar acoustic amp was surprising.

Just came back from McDonald's. Thought you'd enjoy the odyssey I embarked on, seeking signs of intelligent life.
Months ago I bought a Living Social voucher good for a Big Mac. It cost half the price of a Big Mac... what a deal, yes?
I presented my VOUCHER tonight and was told that the Big Mac would be $1.50.
"Huh?" says I.
I then explained to the lovely and charming cashier - and her boss - and HER boss the manager - THREE ascending tiers of McPeople - that this was a voucher, not a coupon; that I had already purchased the voucher for half the cost of a Big Mac, and that if they charged me the OTHER half, I would simply be using my voucher for the privilege of paying full price for the Big Mac.
I got six deer-in-the-headlights empty gazes.
The ol' Chief, really trying here, continued to educate them that the computer system (that was charging me the $1.50) was apparently programmed by a complete puddin' head who had no concept of the difference between a COUPON and a VOUCHER.
Why, said I, would I PAY half price of a Big Mac for a voucher if the restaurant was going to charge me the OTHER half, giving me a net savings of ZERO? Why go through that whole exercise in futility when I could just whip out cash and pay for the Big Mac?
I got six deer-in-the-headlights empty gazes.
Finally, with a line of McCustomers waiting behind me, I just asked for the voucher back, telling them that I would rather pay full price with CASH instead of paying full price with the voucher. I was hoping against all hope that maybe - just MAYBE - one of them would have an epiphany over this.
They didn't.
I guess I'll find another McDonald's to use this voucher in. Because the people working in this one... well... let's just say I'm glad they have a computer to tell them how much change to give back.

That story kind of reminded me of when I paid cash for a laptop computer in a bestbuy ones. Took them about 10 minutes to complete the sale. They counted the money three or four times, looking at it, then me, the money, then me, then to another person, then me, then the money. It was only 850 bucks, mostly large bills.

Chief,
I believe we stopped at the same McDonald's on the way home from Chattanoga, but decided against eating there when the sign read this:

Good morning all!
My McDonalds is unfortunately famous. You may recall the woman who died in the restroom at a McDonalds, due to what turned out to be a CO2 leak from the Coke machine. Yep. That was mine. :/
Well from my emails looks like im going to have a GREAT day at work. (sarcasm)

Morning everyone!
We had a customer last night who wanted to use our email club discount in addition to a Groupon. We're not as stupid as the folks at McD and just let them know, sorry we can't do it. Kills me when folks think they can just pile on discount/coupon/rebates and expect it to work. (yes, our email club clearly stipulates you can't combine it)

Good morning everyone! Working from home today so hoping to make some progress on my app and some device styling and such. BTW this is the best commute ever - from my bed to the couch!
Also on a better note, Starbucks now sells the Chai syrup they put in their Chai tea lattes. They sell a 32oz box for $5 and based on my calculations its about 3oz per venti drink which means I can make about 10 drinks for $5. Those 10 venti drinks in the store would cost me about $40, thanks Starbucks!

That Chai syrup is money. Mix it with some espresso and it's delicious. Sounds weird, but trust me on this one.

Morning everyone!
Thanks for the info on the chai syrup. I have a serious weakness for that drink.
So I figured I'd stop for a taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich this morning.....its a Jersey staple and normally it is ordered and in your hands quickly - today is a 10 minute wait!!!???? I won't be coming here again unless I need a reason to fiddle around for a while.
But at least the people are nice.
