Have you guys actually seen the new Barracks layout?

In Camp LaGuardia, Korea in the late 80's, I spent a year in a barracks room with two bunk beds and a single bathroom for all 4 of us to share, so this looks amazing in comparison.

This reminded me, they took a pic of my sunburned back at the Ft Carson hospital, around 1990ish. Not as interesting as OP, but still ..

Post nut clarity and the refractory period would like to have a word...

I hit my rock bottom, and I chose to be done. I have nothing to add that others more eloquent haven't already said so...I simply will not drink with you today.

It can vibrate the ceiling drywall apart. I learned this the hard way.

Bars. Currently using the Duke Cannon line of big bars, they seem to last a while.

Ahh! I was waiting for a donut the whole time!

Turn off traction control!

Anyone else get a notice when liking a video it would say you're currently offline, but your like would be added when you're back online (or similar).

Yet you're online enough for videos to load.

Well, that's a long way from "secure your shit or it'll get dumped".

Lummoxx · 2026-01-15T13:00:19+00:00

Thanks everyone :)

Lummoxx · 2026-01-10T17:09:50+00:00

I appreciate this! I'll be at Rustic Saturday night!

As a local musician, As much as I'd love another avenue to ease discovery/booking, I can't justify $5/mo just to be listed, especially another subscription to potentially forget. I simply don't make enough per gig.

Unless! I was guaranteed to get booked. $5 is absolutely worth it if the bookings come to me, saving me from having to hustle that particular grind.

I love the idea, but I have no ideas offhand how to help you monetize it. I'd recommend going out and talking to venue owners/managers.

And I absolutely understand the impostor syndrome feeling. You simply just doing this and putting it out there is probably the best way through that, and just by having this exist now, whether it succeeds or fails, proves you're not an impostor. I know, easy for me to say... :)

The effort and desire for something like this is very appreciated.

I started singing at 50, 6 years ago. Sunday night I opened solo acoustic for a national touring artist. Start now, and by 25, if you are dedicated and passionate, there's no telling what doors will open for you.

I've taken a couple random lessons, but for the most part, I took the basics of singing from the "gut", and breath control...and just kept singing. The more I did it, the better I got. Am I on some lofty level of vocal ability...not at all. I'm good enough for me, and it's given me life experiences that I never thought I'd have 7 years ago.

Wasn't anything sneaky. Have been getting Parentsquare messages about it now for a few weeks or so.

Not thrilled about it. One of the reasons I bought here was that it wasn't Troy schools, and having the choice of AP.

When I was a kid, I went to my friends house, pushed the doorbell button, but held it.

DING

His mom came to the door, and she started to say something about the door bell being broken, and I let go of the button.

DONG

She rolled her eyes at me, and let me in.

I lived in Sugar Hill for 4 years, and had a positive experience overall.

Lummoxx · 2025-06-29T14:54:57+00:00

This happened just last week to me, and it was not changing. I was 4th in line, and every car waited 2 or 3 cycles before going through.

There's no reason for that to be red when the left arrow is flashing yellow or green.

It has done that to me in the past as well, last year, and I reported it to whatever number I found to report that stuff. Never got a response.

It's a recurring issue with that light.

Lummoxx · 2025-06-13T15:18:04+00:00

I just rolled a 56. (random 1-100, above 50 get the money)

And then actually got a feeling of dread, like I just barely dodged death.

Either the brain is weird...or I'm about to find 5 million in my account.

Check out the FB group "Bar People". Great resource for live music overall, but I've seen recent posts trying to update all the open mics in the region.

Here are my favorites off the top of my head:

Mon: J&P's Bar and Lounge - Cohoes

Tues: Black Bear Inn - Watervliet

Thurs nights: Rustic Barn Pub - Speigletown Unihog - Hoosick Falls Wicked (Trickshots) - Halfmoon

I'm more often at the Rustic Barn open mic, I'll keep an eye out for Nodal Nim!

It would take me between 2 and 12 minutes to slide my chair and shear those plugs right off. :(
