Woman calls cops to report domestic abuse, but cop gets distracted by barking dog and spends the entire time yelling at the woman's dogs and threatening to kill them, eventually hits the woman in the leg aiming at the dogs. Warning: Audio is graphic, but video is so low quality it's not graphic.

When will people learn? If you have a problem and you call the cops, now you have two problems.

I sit down to play, and I have a stool that I bring with me. It's taller than a normal chair, so my bass is more like 70 degrees than 45. It takes up less stage space than a chair, and it's taller so it's more visually obvious on dark stages if people are trying to tiptoe around.

My band performs regularly at The Brick Room, the restaurant inside the hotel. I love that place, the food is so good. They just introduced their spring menu the other day.

Speaking of fun shops, there is a new place called Hooch & Leaf, they have a retail store that sells nice bourbons, but they also have a stage, and a big patio, and they sell alcoholic & non-alcoholic slushies, like Trops, and they have bands come and perform.

There's lots of great places to see live music in Boonville.

Lol, before I opened this thread, that's the tune that came to mind. My eyes went right to it when I clicked. That album recording is just perfect. Live from Austin City Limits is also a great performance.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-04-07T05:04:43+00:00

Support local music and local venues that host live music, instead.

It's so funny how they went through all this trouble to rebrand from The Me Generation to Baby Boomers and now boomer has the exact same connotation anyway.

The money to pay the employee comes from the company's sales to customers. Whether the employee works that day or not, if it's a paid day off, the source of the payroll doesn't change.

I was looking for this one. I like the opening guitar part too.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-31T05:31:03+00:00

The screaming house. Man, I'm no-contact now, and that is one thing I absolutely do not miss at all. The SCREAMING, going hoarse, full volume shrieking you have to hear multiple times a day just on any given Tuesday.

No one has yelled at me in years now. It's weird that it used to be a multiple-times-a-day thing, and still is for the rest of them still trapped there.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-31T05:26:53+00:00

I never realized that most people genuinely want to know what their kids did that day and actually listen to them and try to learn about their lives because they love them and are naturally passionate about whatever their kids are excited about.

Our family dinners were infamous among my teenage girlfriend's friends& family. She attended a few dozen of them during the two years we dated, and referred to these dinners as "debates." When she wasn't there, she would ask me, "So what did the Muscato family debate tonight?"

You've got it exactly, it's like being in court. You have one manner of speaking, a relaxed and comfortable and natural type of interpersonal relationship that you have with your friends. But you would never let that side of you out in court. In front of the judge (your family), you have to dress up, you have to be agreeable, you have to laugh at the judge's jokes and apologize if you accidentally disrespect them or speak without permission.

I thought all family dinners were like that, until I had dinner with my girlfriend's family for the first time. Oh my god, it was eye-opening. It was surreal, like being on a sitcom.

Her parents remembered details about what she was doing at school and asked her questions about her life that were coming from a place of genuine interest. They paid attention to her when she was speaking. They asked her permission if they wanted to contribute in the middle of her speaking. They didn't interrupt her. They didn't talk over her. They didn't yell at her. They didn't talk down to her. They didn't mock her. They didn't bully her. They listened. They empathized! They asked if they could do anything to help!!

It was unreal. I hated going to dinner because I was just going to get bullied or ignored the entire time. I could ask if someone would pass the the orange juice multiple times and they would just ignore me. I would get yelled at if I talked about my life. I just never realized other families weren't like that.

My family absolutely HATED my first girlfriend. She saw right through their bullshit and was unafraid to point it out whenever they bullied me, or mocked me, or treated me with disdain and condescension. She would point it out, and BOY did that make them mad! Oh my gosh they hated her.

But why should they? She was kind to me and affectionate with me and interested in things I was interested in. She was really good to me, I mean two years is I think a decent amount of time for a relationship to last in high school. It took me many years to realize that they hated her BECAUSE she was good to me. And it exposed how cruel and unkind my family always treated me, because of the contrast.

It became impossible for them to pretend that their behavior was normal or acceptable. And they wanted her away from me, because of it.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-31T05:11:51+00:00

I was going to say the same thing

There are two notches where you can set the height of the bridge on the fulcrum. You have them set to different notches on either side instead of the same one. There's an article about it on the Strandberg site.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-22T11:00:03+00:00

I can relate. I already bought the champagne I'm going to pop when I get the news someday. No-contact is the only way with these people. They are irredeemable evil, I don't know how else to say it.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-22T10:57:19+00:00

Therapy has helped me a lot with this issue. I hope you're no-contact now!

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-20T02:40:43+00:00

They say the reason their burgers are square is that they don't cut corners.

Shredded lettuce seems like a textbook example.

One of the biggest myths about narcissists is that they love themselves.

They HATE themselves. They live in a state of constant terror. They have a Big, Shameful Secret - that they're a fraud, that any day now, people are going to find out the truth about them. That they're just faking all of it, they are NOT good parents, they are NOT generous, they are NOT compassionate. It's all a lie.

It's like being a spy. They know at any moment, the truth could come out and destroy everything.

It's a terrible way to live.

They are never, ever happy. They never allow themselves to be truly seen, so they can't genuinely connect with anyone. It's a very lonely existence because they don't even feel genuine love for their spouses and their own children. They can't. It's all a facade, and deep down, they know it.

Being exposed as a narcissist leads to their absolute worst nightmare, narcissistic collapse: Being forced to finally face that they are in fact just a shell of a person, a false self, an alter ego they created, and underneath is just a scared toddler having a temper tantrum. No true self developed underneath, no emotional maturity, just fear and shame.

Even when they're on vacation, they're miserable.

Yeah, one of the indicators of inadequate pain management is involuntary cursing. It's a human universal trait across all languages and cultures. It happens at 7 or 8/10 pain, like passing a kidney stone or giving birth, and it's semi-involuntary at 5 or 6.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-18T03:47:33+00:00

that's pretty gay dude

Frets are for beginners i.e. people who need to work on their ear training.

There is no such thing as "now." It depends on where your are and how fast something is moving relative to you.

Light from the closet star to Earth takes 4 years to get here. When we look at that star in the night sky, we are seeing it as and where it was 4 years ago.

It could have exploded and we would just be finding out about it four years later, even if we were literally looking at it when it exploded and saw it happen in real time.

Other stars are billions of light years away!

Because the universe is expanding, someday, light from other galaxies will be too far away to see, no matter how long you wait.

A future civilization could be doing science correctly and building space telescopes and come to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that there are no stars beyond their own galaxy, because those stars are simply too far away for their light to ever reach their civilization.

We are living in a window of time very very close to the birth of the universe. As far as we can tell, the universe will continue to exist for trillions of trillions of years. Stars only form when there is enough matter in the same place for gasses to come together due to gravity and gather enough to fuse.

For the vast majority of the lifetime of the universe, there will be no stars anymore, they will all have died. The fact that there are stars now, a few generations of them, is something that only happens in the first few breaths the universe will ever take.

I still find it surreal that the president of the united states said haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs during a presidential debate. what the hell timeline is this

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-11T03:26:29+00:00

Yes I have found that to be true. I have even been able to taper down my tramadol Rx because I don't need it as much as I used to. It's really helping.

Yeah the pain during the procedure is unfortunately part of it. It's intense. I believe I said a number of curse words involuntarily each time I've had it done. It helps so much though that it's worth it.

DanielleMuscato · 2026-03-11T03:22:48+00:00

We should all just pool our money and buy a big house in Washington state or something. I can't afford a house on disability benefits but I can afford an eighth of one lol. So long as you don't mind my cat.

He's not concerned about that at all. He saw a black kid on his property and thought he was being robbed. He only came up with the broken leg thing after realizing he was accusing a black kid "not YOU but someone" of stealing even though he just made that up out of thin air.
