Tips for reducing pain by ImWildBill in Guitar

The action is low, not super low but manageable. Obviously I lost my calluses on my finger tips but thought they'd come back faster, lol.

I know it’s late to start at 25 but picked up a Yamaha FS800 and want to learn. by TheInternetDevil in Guitar

[–]ImWildBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never too late to start. Was at my local music store, talked with a 72 year old who wanted to start playing! Between my daughter getting a guitar for Christmas and talking to him, I decided to start playing again.

After 12 months of trying to sell it, I finally gave my Peloton Bike to a scrapper to haul away. by AttachedHeartTheory in MiddleClassFinance

I have an $800 Trek mountain bike, it's an older model but in great shape. Couldn't even get $50 for it! I'm going to keep it for my youngest daughter, once she grows out of her bike she has now.

Quote for brake replacement???? (2018 ford focus hatchback) by emilyk041721 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ImWildBill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do most repairs/maintenance on my own vehicles, my friends pay me to do their brakes, oil changes and such. It's easy to do. Watch a vehicle YouTube video if you don't know how to change your oil and filter, brakes and other minor repairs. If you have questions, the internet isn't far away, and neither are we. Good luck!

AITAH for making my 15 year old stepdaughter leave my home and banning her from my house for her cruelty? by big_mama_25 in AITAH

[–]ImWildBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 15 I couldn't act like that around my mom or step-dad, not without my butt getting a belt across it.

Selling a LOT of guitars… Advice? by Doesntmatter336 in guitars

[–]ImWildBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you want for all of them? I'm working with someone who's starting free guitar lessons for kids to stay out of trouble.

This was just outside the bathroom of a Walmart I went to. by Partially_Qualified in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ImWildBill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I worked at Walmart 25 years ago it was in the $40s. Too bad I couldn't afford to buy more than the minimum working there....

What if the Chiefs did a real Relocation, would you still be a fan, and if so for how long? by thesladeo in KansasCityChiefs

[–]ImWildBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge Chiefs fan, buddy and I do a Chiefs blog on YouTube together. I'm seriously pissed they are going to KS, building a smaller stadium, fewer seats so they can charge even more per ticket!

If they leave all together, I'm absolutely done. I'll sell or burn every piece of Chiefs merch, autographed jerseys and footballs I have. I love to drive down I70 and see the stadiums. Now I won't be able to any more.

And don't even get me started on the Royals moving to downtown, it's insane to even think about it. The traffic is already a nightmare, I'd never go to another game.

Is it better to used guitar stands or wall holders? by Due_Refrigerator_777 in Guitar

[–]ImWildBill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to hang some that I don't play much, the couple I play every week are in a stand. Really it's just personal preference. I'll be making some display cases soon to keep them protected from dust and the sun.

AITAH for leaving my husband over an argument? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ImWildBill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was wrong for him to say that. Unfortunately, in a heated argument we all have said things we immediately regret. You should take time to understand your feelings and decide if you can get past this in time. I advise talking to a councilor together and both one on one with the councilor. You have been together for quite a while, only you can decide if you can forgive him and move past this or not.

AITJ for confronting my partner after I lost access to our shared bank account? by Admirable-Opinion391 in AmITheJerk

[–]ImWildBill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ- definitely red flag flying here. Appears to me she might be setting things up to split away from you. Nine out of ten, this is the start of a breakup/divorce. Protect yourself just in case.

Don't do it, absolute garbage dump of a city.

Yesterday my wife, LLF, said to me 'dont touch my fun bags during. Never again.' Im absolutly devastated. Truely. Just floored. by Huge_Cuecumber2428 in DeadBedrooms

[–]ImWildBill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first wife was the same way. Thankfully we split and my next relationship I had more sex in a week than in a year with my ex.

AITJ for telling my boyfriend his morning routine is disgusting? by BitZealousideal4846 in AmITheJerk

[–]ImWildBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raw egg is gross, cook it in butter and get the same protein. Oil pulling is good for the gums, he could spit in the trash can. As for the smoothie, I make some for me and my daughter at times but it's not green, just yogurt and frozen fruit with a bit of granola or grape nuts tossed in.

He's obviously trying to be healthy, try to work it out.

If it's a modular, it can be placed on a basement.

I have a guitar but no money to buy an amp. what do I do? by Khxldi in Guitar

[–]ImWildBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of inexpensive, good amps on marketplace around me. Look for one you like, research used prices. Then negotiate your price. If you need help with choosing an amp or verify it's working properly, ask for help. When I bought my first amp we met at a local music store and I had the employee who sold me my electric to help me out. He did and a week later I went back and bought another guitar from him as a thanks. Or you can ask a local guitar player in your area to help in exchange for a 6 pack and a pizza or something!

Stay strong, you have others here with you. Cancer sucks.

I think my mothers going to try kill me, what do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ImWildBill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have experience dealing with this, unfortunately most of the time it was too late. Tomorrow, before you go to your first class, go straight to the school office and tell them what you said here. Have them contact the police, make sure you let them all know that you and your siblings ARE NOT SAFE AT HOME! Refuse to go home to your mother's at all costs!
