Can god create a problem so difficult that he can't solve it? Why or why not?

[QUOTE=chip anderson;394605 In many cases these are the people that are offended by any Christian display or Holliday but see a celebration of Ramadan as a glorious display of diversity.

Sorry Chip, I'm a practicing Buddhist. But your comment does beg the question, "What would a Ramadan display include?" An empty plate, perhaps?
Gee and I thought Buddist weren't supposed to get offended by anything or anyone.
Back to stupid questions:
In my office there is a guitar with three capos on the head stock. Everyday I am asked the same question, "Do you play the guitar?"
Yep, here's your sign.
I think I'll change the last line of the reading card to say, "Now that this amazing feat of prestidigitation has been completed, feel free to tell your friends and family about Corner Optical!" It may be fun to watch everyone stumble.

One capo might be used to change the pitch across the board, another to change the open tuning without detuning one or more strings, and a third might have different cutouts for additional open tunings. The partial capo might come in handy when playing slide, but most folks use a different guitar for that.

I heard a news report yesterday that a dog had to be airlifted out of a national park because of exhaustion.

My husband showed this to me and said they should have rescued the dog in this manner:
1. Land helicopter.
2. Put dog on board.
3. Shoot dog's owner(s).
4. Take dog home.
5. Have dog owner's estate pay for rescue.

Not a dumb question at all! to be honest I didn't know about this until a couple of years ago. Basically I have one regular Capo (White) One 'Drop D Capo (Black) and one Cut Capo (Blue)
By placing them up in order on the neck of the guitar I can alter the tuning quickly and create some interesting sounds.
Case in point I like to play a Richard Schindell song called Fleur de lis. I could retune the guitar to DADGAD and put a full capo on the first fret or I could put a full capo on the first fret and a cut capo on the third fret and play it that way. Easier and sounds a little more interesting. (just remember to reach around the cut capo for the Em. Interestingly anoth song I like, Stronger for your Flame by Randall Williams, is played this way. In the video he also explains the tuning. As a side line Randall played at my wedding last year, amazing guitarist and a great guy. Now if I could just get Causeway down I'd be happy.

I keep getting asked the question, "Why/how did the medicine run out in my glasses?" Figured I'd ask you all to see what would be the best response (and this seemed like a good place to ask). :)
Lucky you, I'm dying for someone to ask me that......not once in 35 yrs! I just get: these don't work, they're c..p, while showing me 10+ yr old beat to %#$@ foggy lenses......I tell them if they looked like that, they wouldn't "work" either. In NY they won't admit to them ever being good!

WOW!!!! Maybe it has more to do with location or age. I have only heard this from some of my older patients. I was in the middle of an argument between a husband and wife about it recently.
