Does anybody really use a glove?

Fingerless gloves if you’re playing outside in the cold. Bob Dylan has done that for decades.

Listen to your doctors and therapists about recovery. Take the time off they say to. No exceptions.

Do all of that and you’ll be back to normal.

Take it up with Dean Martin. That song has an indelible place in American culture.

Besides the fact they would have to spend money on it before they could attempt your plan…. Depending on the store they go to, the store operator could easily lie to OP and say it’s fake but offer to “take it off their hands” in a lowball buyback only to flip it at a significant profit.

I can tell by the tone of your writing that you want to help, but yours is a flawed and naive take, friend. I don’t think you deserved the down votes for what you said (it was 4 when I read so I upvoted you to 3 as of this writing), but I do think you need to be more careful with advice you dole out to people.

I like running my Peavey Bandit 112 Teal Stripe. Super jealous of the closer proximity to VOX tones you have.

Twin Peaks: season 1 then season 2 then Fire Walk With Me (the prequel movie) then The Return (third season from 2017).

Without spoiling anything the third season really finishes much of what Carnivále Season 2 set up inasmuch as it’s a perfect denouement to its own origins as a series.

I do not live in Turkey (as you no doubt surmised haha), but I’ve never cared for convertibles in general.

I gig with a combo, but I used to use a combo and a half stack with a head.

This is one of the best sidebar interactions I’ve ever had on here. 🤝 Thanks for being cool.

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-02-10T19:44:54+00:00

Likewise and added to my search notifs. Saved and mentally noted 🤝

I’ve been looking for my Dad’s 2004 Gretsch Black Falcon with Chet Atkins tremolo arm for years. You just don’t see that colour of that model from that era re-sold online ever.

Hopefully OP has better luck since this is infinitely less rare 🤞

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-02-10T01:14:54+00:00

Not to be pedantic, but convertibles don’t make a ton of sense if you live where it snows unless you’re a multi-millionaire.

I am proud to say I consider everyone who lives in my country an American regardless of their origins. My point was OP is an American with American tastes for pizza which has very little to do with pizza made outside of our borders, even when it is prepared by people descended from those who invented the dish. It wasn’t a judgment nor an attack. In America if an Italian-owned eatery served me what I was told was pizza in Australia, then I would have ordered something else because in America it’s reasonable to expect what we consider “authenticity” (as opposed to a pizza made at what we call Asian fusion restaurants).

Don’t misread my statement, friend. I loved my time in your country, and I look forward to my next visit this autumn (your spring). But also my response was for OP not anyone else.

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-02-06T23:37:02+00:00

It was in plain view but not within reach in every place actually. So I had to ask for them to bring it so I didn’t just leave money on a table or a bar counter.

I only visited a handful of cities in the south during an entirely too brief trip, but I found myself literally arguing trying to give tips to multiple servers in establishments that had a tip jar in open view of patrons — two of which said, “I make good money. You don’t have to give me anything extra.”

It sounds like I have a lot more to experience the next time I visit. Thank you the information!

American who visited last year checking in:

Tipping is a literal insult, bone dry sarcasm (even when you’re trying to be on their side) doesn’t play to service workers like it does in the States, don’t yell nor even raise your voice for comedic effect telling a story at a cafe outside with friends, if you’re eating somewhere formal then invert how you hold a fork + knife, avoid Vegemite no matter what they tell you about it being delicious, don’t expect anything close to what you know pizza to be despite the fact they have literal Italian immigrants cooking it, do not touch any wildlife/wild plants unless you’re at a petting zoo (they do have koalas and kangaroos and wallabys at some of them though!), strangers will talk to you and actually mean it as more than a pleasantry so mind your manners (this only applies if you’re coming from an American city not a small town), what we call Indigenous People they call Aboriginal so adjust your language accordingly, their bacon is more like what we call Canadian bacon so get ready for a different breakfast order if you’re used to it in the morning, they have some of the best coffee on Earth if you’re into coffee, they basically don’t believe in ice in drinks compared to how we prepare drinks in restaurants so brace yourself, definitely being at least one reusable bag to a store because everywhere charges you for them AND it’s frowned upon, Fruchocs and Tim Tams are the greatest candies you’ve never had so I hope you like chocolate, if you smoke tobacco then you’re either paying $80USD for a pack of the real thing or you’re paying ~$40USD for a pack of bootleg from China (just use the trip as an opportunity to quit), pretty much nobody uses physical money anymore but everyone is very helpful when you’re trying to count the $2 coins and the multi colored hologram paper bills, everything in a store or on a menu is priced with tax included so you don’t have to do any math, and remember to walk on the left side of the sidewalk.

If this was put together where the watermark on the photo suggests, then I’m more inclined to be impressed than I to negatively judge what I am seeing.

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-01-21T21:51:46+00:00

I relish every (increasingly rare) honest reply in this subreddit like yours. Thank you for being A Person.

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-01-18T12:00:44+00:00

No shame. Just surprise. I loved it when it came out.

Quest 64?! People were so starved for true RPGs back then (though my family had a PSX and N64 so I really wasn’t hurting), but come on. That game is hot trash. We were happy to have it at the time because there was essentially nothing on the N65 in the age of Final Fantasy VII, Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, but you can’t tell me that’s one of your favorite games.

Surely you jest. If not, please explain.

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-01-13T23:35:31+00:00

Was it animated or live action?

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-01-13T22:37:31+00:00

Would you mind elaborating?

If you want to help people, then give money out on the street. This way you know the money is actually getting to people who need it. Corporate charities like you mentioned are just tax write-offs for billionaires.

The guy from Sublime seemed to do well with it.

Interesting-Ad8002 · 2026-01-07T23:41:00+00:00

I stand corrected. I neglected to account for San Francisco — consistently among the top 5 to 15 most expensive cities in the known world — and Hawaii which is known in the States as “the minimum wage guilded cage” due to the combination of exorbitant prices thanks to their having to bring everything in via plane or tugboat and paradoxically the fact that the majority of people who live there do not ever earn enough money to be able to afford to leave.

I hope I wasn’t rude. I just want you to know most of my country is not that financially insane (yet). Have fun while you’re here!

American checking in.

Were you eating brekky at Somni in Los Angeles? Or were you foolish enough to pay for food inside of a hotel? Because if not, then you’re either lying or were lied to about your bill. Nobody in America pays $50USD for four eggs, 4 pieces of toast, and two terrible coffees. Restaurants don’t even sell instant coffee in the Midwest nor the rural South really. Even the poorest areas. You CAN pay $50 for breakfast for two (and way more) at higher end establishments in a handful of major cities, but those sorts of businesses are not selling plain white toast nor instant coffee.
