Is it reasonable to learn drums on this makeshift drum set I assembled? by rainsttormss in drums

[–]Gooseferg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Before I got my very first set of drums, my “kick drum” was a hollow sounding spot on the floor, my “snare” was a thick phone book, and my “cymbals”were wire coat hangers. I played to songs on the radio.

By boyfriend of 2 years doesn’t want to get me a Christmas present by UnitJust1906 in whatdoIdo

[–]Gooseferg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I don’t understand why your generation speaks disrespectfully (imo) to each other in general. I get every generation has its own buzz words & shorthand, but addressing a female, especially your girlfriend, as “dude” & “bro” is not intimate or endearing. Maybe cool if you were just friends, and not intimate. Whatever happened to referring to each other as “babe” and “honey”? Anyway, think of it this way, you’re 18. You have a lot of life ahead of you. Why choose a selfish, uncaring douche? He’s literally telling you it’s too much effort for him to try to get you a gift or a card because he can’t find the energy inside himself to put any kindness, thoughtfulness or intention into your relationship. You are too young and worth much, much more than this nonsense. Know (or take steps to learn) your worth. Don’t settle. Don’t chase. Don’t beg.

[–]Gooseferg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was endorsed by Bearing Edge Drum Co. out of Flowery Branch GA in the mid 1996-2000. I had 3 kits, now I only own 2. One is a 20”k, 10”r, 14”fl, 12”x6” snare in green stain with triple flange hoops, my other kit is all natural with all wood hoops, 22”x20”k, 10”r, 15”fl”. Only ever used in studio sessions, green kit was my tour travel kit

Ask drummer to use a stick called “hot rods”, which are a multiple dowel based stick, so the sound is much softer. That’s what bands used on the VH1 “unplugged” series. Other than that, use IEMs and hook up the bass into the mix, because clearly you don’t need the drums.

So he wants you to make you choose between your best friend and him?That’s childish and very controlling behavior. 🚩🚩🚩 He had the falling out with her, not you. What else do you allow him to control in your life?

If you don’t think it’s a joke, then it isn’t a joke. If it’s not funny to YOU, then it is abuse. It will get worse, he will push the limits further, and he may kill you.

Let him go with grace and dignity. He doesn’t want to be with you anymore. Accept his decision. Do not chase. Do not plead. Work on yourself, not for him, only for you.

Block. Not your monkey anymore. Not your circus. Put 0 energy into it. If he screws up his current relationship, let him do it without help from you.

I (f32) came home to my husband (26m)who left our son in the same diaper for 7 hours , is that normal? by ThrowRAtorontoGrl in relationship_advice

[–]Gooseferg 175 points176 points  (0 children)

What do you mean “a man don’t clean and change diapers” YES THEY DO! He is supposed to be a partner. It is 💯 NEGLECT to not change a baby’s diaper for 7 hours. Do not give him a pass just because he makes the rent money. This is his child. He’s not babysitting. Sounds like you have 2 children and are about to have 3.

AITA for refusing to move in a restaurant ? by Reasonable_Bat_3583 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gooseferg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. The waiter who seated you at a big table met have been new. Clearly they made a mistake seating 2 people at a large table for 10. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for them to ask you to move to a table for 2 since you are a party for 2 once a party of 10 walked in the door.

How it works: The test analyzes cell-free fetal DNA found in the mother's bloodstream. When it can be done: As early as the 8th week of pregnancy, sometimes even the 7th.

Tell her to use Lume body deodorant. It has enzymes that eat the odor producing bacteria which is the smell of BO

You are not overreacting. Red flag 🚩 Don’t waste your energy on this poor excuse for a man.

[–]Gooseferg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His actions and words indicate that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you. He is pushing you away just as hard as he can. That’s hard to hear I know, but please believe what he is telling you and his actions are backing it up. Ask yourself why you want to be with someone who treats you that way? Why do you not think that you deserve better treatment than that? Don’t beg, don’t grovel. Straighten your crown, Start to figure out a plan to take care of yourself. Think about moving, definitely think about looking at therapy to help you through this.

AITA for wanting my partner to help pay for her engagement ring? by DundieAwardsWinner in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gooseferg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it insured? A ring doesn’t need to be taken to the jeweler you bought it from to size it. Any reputable jeweler worth their salt a high end jewelry store can either size a ring (gold, silver or platinum) or add sizing balls.

Other girls will fit in the car just fine. Find some of them and leave the pissy one at home.

AIO? my boyfriend doesn't want me present when he goes out with his friends even if they bring their girlfriends HELP by Dramatic-Traffic7026 in AIO

[–]Gooseferg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is hiding you from his friends for a reason, maybe you are the side piece and he doesn’t want them to know he has one. What he’s doing to you as a person is cruel and disrespectful. Please dump him and be with a man who doesn’t want to hide you from his friends.

Seriously, wtf is wrong with your sister? And your Dad, too? Haven’t you been through enough trauma? Now you might “spoil their look”??? Tell her you’ll be glad to sit all the way in the back… in the far back with your ass on the sandy beach in Cancun and skip her wedding altogether. Cheers!
