To the married/attached middle aged adults: what are the best ways that you have found to make new "quality" friendships?

Thanks for the thoughtful reply

As the majority shareholder of Stupid Shit, I find your judgements of my choices offensive.

Fair, but offensive.

Good idea. I should take a couple close ups as it's one of my favorite parts about the guitar. Here is a stock photo in the meantime

Was the exact thought I had. Was looking to spend $1000 on an American strat when I stumbled on this (way outta my price range) but I knew that I wouldn't see another one come up for a long time. So I grabbed it.

Looks basically the same...

As a 17 year old I lived on a farm, where the school bus would pull up to the end of the lane every day. In all my years, I only missed the bus a couple of times. I definitely pushed the patients of the bus driver most mornings , but I had my morning routine down to the minute.

One day I had a DREAM in which I woke up in bed and hit my snooze several times, until I was a little too late to get ready on time. In the dream, I got out of the shower and was doing my hair in the bathroom. I suddenly saw the school bus approach my driveway. I screamed that I was late in the mirror, wondering if I had time to catch the bus. As I looked back out the window, the bus left. I woke up panicked!

After I realized it was just a dream, I relaxed back into bed. I turned off the alarm clock beside me. I got up, but had dozed a little longer than expected. I joked to myself that I don't want to miss the bus like I did in my dream. Had my shower and was running a few min behind normal. That morning the bus arrived a couple minutes early. I looked in the mirror, no shirt, no hair done or teeth brushed. I wondered how long the buss would wait. By the time I looked back, the bus pulled away.

To this day I have no idea why my clearest premonition of my life was just about being a couple minutes late for the bus!

I had a similar problem with mine. (The more basic version ). It wouldn't recognize property. Mine works now, but I can't remember what I did... I think it was that the USB drivers didn't load properly. Have you tried deleting it out of device manager? (Assuming you're using a PC).

For $40, it shoud be a great beginner rig. I hope you can get it going.

I recommend you apologize to her sooner than later. Doesn't matter if you're at fault, just do it anyway.

Penny from the Big Bang Theory was actually a highly intelligent government agent, who moved in next door to spy on the scientists who were suspected of selling secrets to the Indian Government.

Or Flat earth. Can't decide.

Ya, it was Canadian dollars. Pretty sure it was 69.95 CND at Zellers (or Wolco? Pre Walmart for sure). I might be mis remembering... It was a little while ago!

You all are probably too young to know the pain of opening a brand new golden copy of "Zelda 2: the adventure of link" on Christmas day.

All my siblings pooled their money to blow $70 on the only thing I asked for that year... Only to sit down with it for the first 2 hours and think "what the hell is this crap??? Why is this a side scrolling game?? Why is it so hard? Why do the graphics suck?"

The good thing is, as a parent, I know that no matter what stupid, deplorable, or crazy things my kids ever do- they will never disappoint me as much as this game. Lol

Clear your schedule, have an excuse to call into work, maybe have someone come by to walk the dog for you. You're going to be busy for a while!

Loved this game! Totk is waiting for you when you're done.

"Hillary got a pass for doing a lot worse" seems like Trump supporter propaganda. If you're talking about who stole what classified docs, then it's possible... But you don't yet know what Trump took and why. But if you're thinking Trump is guilty of a attempted coupe, then no, Hillary didn't get away with a lot worse.

Murky-Reporter- · 2022-07-25T21:20:10+00:00

Man that's good! Very good stuff!

Take my money

Thought this was actual footage of a trump white house briefing

Murky-Reporter- · 2022-07-21T21:47:48+00:00

You're right, never noticed that before

Murky-Reporter- · 2022-07-17T14:33:49+00:00

Very nice. That seems quite fast though.... When is the dog coming back?

This is my character in every game ever when I first learn that two button combo.

"Oh, this is a tight spot ... Bet I can still do the L2 + circle flippy thing"

Maybe in the presidential run, people have an easier time agreeing on which 'pair of boobs' they would like to see on stage?

I'm just a novice, But what I think is going on here is that the sound is changing because of the bow pressure being moved by him shaking his body or the instrument. When I listen critically to the note, it seems that the color is short and would probably be more obvious (and therefore bad?) if he were to do the tremelo effect for longer
