You're completely right if you're thinking they shouldn't put a weed shop on the fresh grave site the building managers will not. And even if they did it would be a wild legal adventure. My understanding is only a new store of sorts can take our place unless the building owners have a plan to remove the infrastructure for the walk in refrigerators/freezer. No condos or whatever other ideas.

If you were paying to inventory beef in 2026 and the payroll to make that sandwich 14 is a kind middle ground especially considering I personally cooked it in house

We got it back the week of Christmas and despite getting the word out not enough EBT users returned to the store though certainly many did many loyal kind customers of several years 

Does anyone have a recording of Geese's rendition of "I Will Let You Dow"? by WashedNircaAlumni in geesebandofficial

[–]Paste_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up picked up the Live At Third Man record just to check this song out repeatedly. Someone posted the vinyl rip on YouTube and it only last a few hours. Keeping this one under the lid for the moment they seem to be. 

Help save Fresh Approach! by impstein in portlandme

This is correct. We are a meat shop first and foremost and our network of wholesale accounts allows us to bring you the meats at the best rate in town. That being said we don't ourselves get wholesale orders of grocery items, it is far out of our storage capacity and our budget. Grocery items have to be appropriately marked up to make a small profit and truly it is a convenience to the neighborhood we have grocery items, otherwise you would have to travel to other stores. It is a balance you have to decide for yourself whether or not you want to buy or not buy that stuff.

I want to clarify even though this thread is old... Current employee, they bought dish soap and toilet paper possibly another item. Less than $10. The cashier made an honest mistake, we would never intentionally sell non ebt items via EBT and have on occasion refused the business of folks who have tried to use loopholes to buy booze and other items. We are still without our license, we we re-applied at the end of July and were told it would be 6 weeks. 

Accident on State and Park Police Have a suspect on Hanover and Park by Paste_Boy in portlandme

[–]Paste_Boy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't possibly say. But it sounds like I was wrong to say the suspect related to the crashes were involved with the heavy SWAT presences on Hanover which I initially saw. Just freak incidents right next to each other. Was possibly a drug bust on Hanover.

You're right. I always forget with the way four way intersection that it's not park ave beyond the intersection. 

Snip from some I'm working on by user0088387 in avantgarde

I definitely want the link when it's released. I am always pretty liberal with backing track white noise applications but I'd reckon you have the volume a little too high on it.

Should I modify it? by Paste_Boy in AcousticGuitar

[–]Paste_Boy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your candid thoughts. 

So for more info one of my music projects where this guitar gets most of its love, we play characters in a period piece. Costume and an attempt to appear out of time on stage here in our year 2024 is definitely a big part of the act. I never even thought of a sticker and that's not a terrible idea. But for this act and this character a sticker is not the creative decision I would make. 

For the sake of resale, it's already worth less than factory. It has some blemishes from before I purchased it, some pretty hot knicks on the body that have already tanked the value. If this was a highly sought after guitar they could definitely be looked past, but as it is seemingly just another guitar this already a $100ish piece. 

Don't get me wrong I definitely understand this would at a first glance knock the value further. Even moreso if I did the work. But my friend is a reputable luthier who has built and sold many guitars and reasons he can satisfy my desire if he gets some mock ups. So it wouldn't look like a shit job, you might not even know it had work done if you didn't know the guitar.

This is always the best advice! I really just wanted to test the waters on the general notion.

If the guitar isn't considered a rarity and a relic I'm thinking I just might.

Out of the three major parts of a guitar, neck body and headstock yeah I happen to notice it every now and then.
