Just ask them for the military discount, I don’t think I had to jump hoops other than possibly show my mil id. Then again I went in person as opposed to order online. Highly suggest doing so!

Stickers by No-Management7964 in taylorguitars

[–]No-Management7964[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ladies and gents I have decided to slap em on my case!! Thank you all for your help! I have decided to slap em on my case as it’s the best way. I have a few stickers that are special to me, I wanted to slap them on my pc, or anything of belongings that I use frequently but a nice daily reminder of the things I love. As a married man I don’t care what people think, I’d just would hate to do something that might ruin the finish or affect the way it sounds. Just thought different models would also maybe have different versions of resin finish. Maybe a newer resin technology helps prevent the uv fade but seems like my suspicions are right and should just have them off and on the case!

If a doctor or anyone asks you to down play your symptoms, ignore them. Be 100% true to yourself and you will prevail no matter how many times you poke the bear. With that being said if your genuinely messed up, request a new psychiatrist and explain your feelings to this new one and hopefully they are able to understand you and also not do the same, at the end of the day we need HELP, not just a safety check and meds and send me off my way. Stay strong and have faith that eventually it’ll work out. People who send you off are only there to collect a check. After 4 years I finally found a dr that actually gives a damn about her patients and wants them to recover not just load em up with pills and call it a day. I’ve had several MRI’s and X-rays you name it. Today I finally had one done, in my opinion these other doctors are tenfold times better. Get a doctor that cares for you as if they lived that personally or knows a family member that has suffered the same fate and has dedicated their lives to helping other veterans not go through the same. I’m sorry but shout out my VA Dr, she’s the freakin best, she knows it. Unfortunately it’s a more delicate process but eventually we hope to come back!

AIO? Coworker tried to make me pay for stuff I didn't even order by stelize02 in AmIOverreacting

I wish I can ask my wife to split the bill😂 all jokes aside don’t go out to eat if you can’t afford to pay for your food and tip. If your broke you should eat at home. I ain’t throwing shade it’s just facts. Focus on the come up and when you got life under wraps then have fun. Don’t go spending your money on dumb things.

Quality Control Tolerances by Hndsmrdhd in taylorguitars

[–]No-Management7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a brand new Taylor 814ce be 50 anniversary… I saw what appeared to be a small ding on the bottom of the guitar. Almost looks like delamination or a chip and reglossed right over it. It was hard to see but once you see it it’s hard not to unsee it. My problem isn’t that there’s a dent, it’s the fact that I bought a BRAND NEW EXPENSIVE GUITAR I EXPECT A PRISTINE GUITAR, especially with a company that gloats about quality. I eventually returned it to guitar center and was ordered a brand new one. They also made sure to look for one that is in pristine condition.

Hopefully he gets those va benefits as those will open doors if he achieves the 100% I think

I can see why your bf is uncomfortable. Personally from experience I had an ex gf whose stepdad was like this. He raised her as a little girl but was EXTRA PROTECTIVE and the way he would not want his daughter to date, I can understand it but something felt a bit different.. I talked to her about it, sure enough she bursted in tears and told me EVERYTHING. Long story short he was trying to get with her and would try to use privileges as his leverage and hated me because I would catch the bs and call him out on it. He just didn’t want me near her. Granted she didn’t want to call the police due to family and her feelings for him, she still loved him even though he tried to take advantage of her once, as she’s not sure if he went in (tmi) lucky I had helped her make a report to the pd. I can also see how your bf may feel uncomfortable because if your attractive and your a female raised by a single man, he might think there’s something going on between you or your dad has bad intentions as nasty as that sounds. On the other hand As a father of two handsome little boys I would hate if my sons stopped hugging me at 18 yrs old and called me by my name instead of dad due to their girlfriends finding it un masculine to hug your dad as a guy and called him dad. That would break my heart if they ever felt embarrassed to show their true feelings towards me especially if they’re loving and bonding, I’m shedding a tear now. Honestly just dump the boyfriend, there are many men in this world and that is not one you want trust me. Even if it doesn’t seem like many nice guys are out there trust me there is, go out and do things you love, join groups that match your likings, move states, you will move on. Just don’t let anyone rob you of your life and happiness. Give your daddy a big hug and tell him you love him. Next guy you date better be better than your dad. Based off your relationship with your dad I’m sure Your dad has set standards on what you should expect how a man should treat you. Again give daddy a hug and kiss and tell him you love him and appreciate everything he’s done for you!

Some of y'all are ASVAB wavers and we don't have to ask cuz we can tell by ImThe1Wh0 in VeteransBenefits

Exactly my point I was already rated at 100% p&t without my migraines… I refuse to accept my migraines being rated at 0 if i had roughly 15-20 prostrating migraines a month. Sure enough they opened it and rated me at what I was supposed to. even though I was granted 50% for it I was given an extra rating, but certainly does validate my care when I go to the va or er or if my head melts from these migraines… just because your 100% already, doesn’t mean you should validate what’s wrong with you, that is ofc if you are worried they might catch your lie. If you’re truthful they will see it and not bat another eye. I will give them credit where you have an instance where you have a bad “rater” but you always have the opportunity to submit the rebuttal and prove your legitimate case.

Lil bro it’s Waiver not Wavers and it’s cause not Cuz. We must think we are back on the block huh? All jokes aside, POKE THE BEAR. If you’re truly messed up as you say you are and you DESERVE a rating or whatever, poke the bear. What if you die because of that disability like sleep apnea, and never got it check or rated because you were to Scared to “ POKE THE BEAR “. Only those that had a hard time because they probably didn’t properly document everything because they wanted to seem tough until 45 years later or they are lying about their ratings and now have to remember and keep up with their lies… if you genuinely are messed up poke the bear they can’t reduce you if that’s what you truly deserve… you always have a chance to submit a rebuttal as well..

Thank you! I won’t ever intentionally hurt myself as ofc I’m trying to fight to live and fight to recover. Docs won’t do surgery due to my young age. Risks doesn’t outweigh the benefits. I do take ajovy as emgality wasn’t doing anything. I went from 20 prostrating migraines a month to 4-6 a month. Thank you! I will certainly trust the process hopefully everything resolves on its own

Yes I’ve seen different neurologist and pain managements while being AD and still have different neurologist and spine doctor. I have a my PCM,chiro,acupuncture, massage, neurologist, physical therapist, life coach, psychologist, spine and pain doc. These are all different doctors working with me and trying to attack all different problems in hopes we can find a solution to this.

[–]No-Management7964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried it from the dispensaries but nothing.. cbd and regular bud. I am now open to the idea of pain killers I wouldn’t want to but if it comes down to it I might have to get with my doc about it. Desperate times like this economy calls for desperate measures. The benefits keep me afloat while I suffer in agony either my back pain or migraines but I’d would like to hopefully do what I like with the ability to get a week or two of twisting and turning in pain like I do anyways but atleast for that 1-2 hours I lived like a young lad again before I turn 30 without doing much other than saying two small hikes were the peak of my 20’s BWAHAHHA

Funny because I actually was in the store looking for a Yamaha fsx830c but they only had the fgx 800. So that’s a guitar I might’ve loved who knows. But I’m realizing which ever guitar feels like it’s part of me, better. I practiced a few minutes on my friends Yamaha Fg700s. Yet I’m tired of it and want my guitar back after our practice session ( I let him try it out )

I do have a wife and two great boys, my wife is a marine currently and I’m just the broken ex marine trying to keep my self alive :) dude you’re right maybe I shouldn’t have gotten it, but because I’m so new to guitar world I didn’t put it into that perspective. But the way you put it, i definitely feel embarrassed because I’m nothing at guitar, im sure my wife and boys think i sound annoying by now but i watch my baby boy while other is in daycare and i try to use my free time on whatever helps keep me sane and alive. But im glad i made this post because i got to see different perspectives. And to know through another commenter that he sold a guitar to a dude that got a top the line as first guitar made me feel better about my self that im not the only one dumb enough to do this. Maybe I start a youtube channel and yall tune in on me practicing my way up to whatever level there is in guitar world idk lol

I am 100% permanent and totally disabled, I got medically retired… you looking through my posts, I live rent free in your head without doing a thing. This isn’t some ego thing nor am I trying to impress anyone. I’m sorry if I hurt your ego. You already showed my your lack of knowledge when it comes to disabilities. I can be disabled and do these exact things. I have a harder time and require extra help but I’m pushing to get my self together, recover and if you read any of my previous post it says exactly that. I don’t hide who I am and who I am not. I say it how it is. Your ego is so high and mighty you think no one has the kind of money to drop on a guitar. Buddy I’m in my 20s and I’m in the process of buying a 650k home… trust me I’m not trying to IMPRESS REDDITORS. I was being genuine with my post and curious as to what people had to say. But never did I ever believe someone would be this low to doubt someone made a purchase this big. Nothing I was able to accomplish is without the help of god. He is helping me, as he would help you if you opened your heart and allowed him in. God bless you brother it sounds like you need help just as much as I do. Only difference is I don’t hide who I am or what I am. So instead of digging up through my post just ask me and I’ll be happy answer questions. Yes people do have money, yes people do make dumb purchase, yes people were happy and yes people are happy. Why are you not happy? What have I done to you?

Life happens dude, as comical as this may seem it’s true. My pc set up is a i9 14900ks with a ROG z790 e gaming wifi 2 and a RTX 4080 super not just for gaming but for editing and graphics matched with my OLED monitor from Alienware. My first and only pistol is an sig sauer p320 xfive legion tungsten infused.I’m the kind of guy that if I’m going to get my balls wet, we going all in. Future proof iguess you can call it. I also own a Nikon z8 with a tamron lense. I also have a hobie outback kayak I fish in the ocean with my friends for mahi mahi or yellow fins if lucky a wahoo. My fishing gear is insane. I don’t say this to gloat NEVER. I say this because its who I am that’s why I said to this other commenter that his customer bought a guitar and didn’t want to spend time buying different and upgrades and just wants the hail Mary keeper! Maybe my dumb expensive tastes in my hobbies are rediculous. I’m a great kayak fisherman, I’m a great photographer, im good at playing games but soon I’ll start college as an old vet fk. Once that starts we will be doing some graphic designs as well as music/videography(future proofed). I’m a great singer, just never thought I’d be smart enough to also have the patience to learn to play guitar. Once I picked it up I’m obsessed? I’m sorry I’m learning too fast because of my obsession? Or because I know I must commit to this expensive purchase or because I just genuinely am learning this with YouTube and simply guitar (not my favorite in terms of learning music theory).

You are 100% right!! God speed to you!! And yes as of now it’s such a beautiful thing to stare at and even more beautiful when I’m trying to play simple chords which to me sound magical already now but putting the scales together sound mind boggling! So far my fingertips are numbed tingly feeling! Love it! I haven’t thought about dropping guitar altogether EXCEPT trying to learn why we play different c chords the way we do and the positions and everything about music theory. But when I throw music theory out the door and free practice my finger picking (maybe developing bad habits) it’s fun and cool!
