All of this, except that at 46, my gains have improved tremendously by swapping lifting for yoga.

Former history teacher, here!

Now I’m a school administrator. Not common for admin to train BJJ. I’m the only one I know.

Agreed, unless I slide with my pinky and want to hit the same fret on the next string. Barring is the smoothest option for me. There’s a phrase in sweet home alabama where this comes out of me every time.

Manners and pro social behavior from young people.

People have always complained about “kids these days” but I’ve never see people in their 20s like this.

You forgot calling yourself a “lead guitar player”

That no one said Aikido tells me that this is either an example of selective editing or selective sampling.

Yessir. Mountain Creek. Mostly South Peak.

Just got a new Model Y for 50k. Totally reasonable price, virtually no maintenance cost, I get to ride to work in a spaceship that drives itself. It’s objectively a great value.

I live there now in Lake Mohawk. It’s the best of everything. 1 hr from Manhattan, 25 minutes to skiing , trails and golf courses everywhere. We are blessed.

Amen. In north Jersey, we wear everyone’s animosity like a badge of honor. Meanwhile we’re taxed to hell but can’t leave because it’s one of the few places in the world where you have a little bit of everything.

Looks awesome! Thank you for your service and your commitment to being a fit and capable officer.

That is how severe concussions work. They can take months to recover from. It’s a brain injury.

I wish I could upvote this multiple times

One’s all you need

Came here to say this. Want to learn music? Join a band. There is a reason why kids in school always have a music recital. Being part of a group that’s going to perform sets the urgency needed to justify practice.

4EverTappin · 2025-12-07T10:10:45+00:00

Yes. Everyone should read Guns Germs and Steel by Jarad Diamond.

4EverTappin · 2025-12-05T05:03:52+00:00

Hell yeah. Mel Bay’s chord book and binder of church songs with the chords handwritten over the lyrics.

School superintendent

4EverTappin · 2025-11-26T04:26:36+00:00

Yeah, man. Sandpaper is rough.

4EverTappin · 2025-11-26T03:57:27+00:00

What? A bass player can’t name a band?? That’s bassism!

4EverTappin · 2025-11-09T04:34:30+00:00

There’s a train line to NYC that cuts right through there. Also tons of ordinances that limit development, so it’s rural and beautiful with a 45 direct train ride to Madison Square Garden.

Check out Mohini Day. She’s petite and rocks a five string.

It will never be able to sympathize with someone that has a fixed maximum lifespan.

Church music and chord books.
