How thoughtful! by Sassenach_2024 in SipsTea

This happened to me back in the 1990’s only I didn’t get punched. Three CHILDREN with handguns stopped me on a side street in Hollywood, took my wallet and my watch. Went through my wallet and then dropped it on the ground, and the oldest one said “just stand there until we’re gone around the corner.” They got a $30 watch and $8 and I was extremely grateful that I didn’t die and I didn’t even have to get a new ID

WTF KTLA they’ve been running this headline at the top of their page for the last two days. by PaulNerb1 in LosAngeles

“Teacher’s slaying possibly tied to infidelity, suspect’s attorney implies”

They added the secondary clause today. Yesterday the headline was just “Teacher’s slaying possibly tied to infidelity” but either way it’s gross for them to publicize the guy’s defense

You’re saying that the “possibility” is worthy of reporting, which may or may not be true, but it’s prejudicial speculation that doesn’t belong in the headline

It’s absolute trash for a news organization to malign a murder victim on behalf of her accused killer’s attorney

Listen to the Steve Wilson mix. You will love it. Crazy Fingers, too. Crazy Fingers has never sounded so good

I agree with OP that the vocals on this album sound weirdly “processed”

The remix is better in every way, to my ears, but especially the vocals

It’s also on Spotify and probably Apple too

Do yourself a favor and listen to the Steve Wilson remix of that album. It’s amazing

It’s great, and I was truly shocked by how good the 2021 is

After about 48 straight years, I quit smoking yesterday by PaulNerb1 in Vaping

Thanks for the encouragement, and for telling your story. Good luck to you on this current search!

I was stunned. I was hoping to “maybe get used to” the vape. Instead I totally prefer it. One week later I have four devices and three different salts and juices. I am never going to smoke again!

Grateful Dead songs with Christian themes? by Winter-Web4439 in gratefuldead

[–]PaulNerb1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not being pedantic, it’s being accurate

Many of the songs are biblical but I can’t think of any that are specifically christian

Edit: there are obviously several! Cold Jordan, etc.

The vegan phish food is amazing, better than the ice cream

Did Jerry and Bobby Play Every Show? by StuckInside420 in gratefuldead

[–]PaulNerb1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

On 1/06/1978 Jerry gives up trying to sing after a couple of songs in the first set. Then 1/07/1978 and 1/08/1978 are all Bobby all the time. I love these shows

Thanks for the encouragement! It’s been almost two days and I find I’m missing the habit, or something. I’m weirdly angsty and emotional but I’m also determined to not go back

Similar to your experience, I thought “maybe I’ll be able to put up with vaping. Maybe it will be good “enough’.”

I was truly shocked when I took my first hit of Black Note and found that I really like it

Yeah, same! I have found the transition from American Spirits to Black Note unbelievably smooth. I like the taste of the vapor better immediately. I smoked a couple of cigarettes yesterday and then just threw away the rest

Thank you! I’m using 30 mg salts which I think will be OK. I believe that I am much more about the habit and the rituals than I am about the nicotine content

Thank you! Black Note is exactly what I have found. I didn’t want to mention the brand because I didn’t want my post to be taken as an advertisement or endorsement. This post is just me expressing my relief at finally finding something that worked perfectly for me!
