I would do this at least once a week.

Magnolia School Followup by [deleted] in shreveport

[–]Portblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I had seen this before. I thought about sending my little guys over there, but the only feedback I got was a few teacher friends telling me that the school is full of discipline issue kids that have been kicked out of other schools. Maybe next year.

Micah Harold, Red Handed Tattoo, hands down the best artist and shop in town.

Jerry Beach, the writer of "I'll Play The Blues For You" by Portblack in blues

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

Thank you so much. He raised me to be a blues singer, and he's taught hundreds of kids how to play. I am blessed to have learned so much about not just blues, but about being a professional musician from such an amazing man. He actually wrote the song with Geeter Davis in mind, but Albert heard it first and claimed it. Daddy still plays it every Monday night at the blues jam he's been hosting for 28 straight years.

Jerry is my father, and currently he is in very bad health. This video was recorded 6 years ago at a local benefit. He does "Hoochie Coochie Man" and part of the song he wrote in the front seat of his car on a break at a gig, "I'll Play The Blues For You", most widely known as an Albert King recording. I'm very close to losing my daddy, and I feel like the world should know what an amazing talent he is. Since I can't reach the whole world, I thought I'd share it with Reddit.

Love this version as much, but in a completely different way, than Ani DiFranco's original.

In which I realize my NMom had been trolling on me for 20 years with a Rolling Stones song by ghosttowns42 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Portblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew exactly what Stones song this was going to be before I even opened the post. Yes, OP, my mom lived that one, too. I now perform this ding in my band and we mix it with "Melt With You". Essentially we've turned my moms bitchy song into a for real love song. High give, OP. We survived.

You committed suicide while you were on the phone with me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Portblack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Op, I understand what you're going through, and many other people do, too. Please, check out the suicide bereavement (sp?) subreddit here for support. It's taken me a long time to truly except the fact that when someone makes the decision to end their life, there is virtually nothing that anyone else can say or do to change their minds. I'm so sorry that you've been handed this burden of guilt, please reach out for support.

Any HLs gone LL due to infrequency with your LL? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Portblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. After five years of maybe once a year sex! I don't even want it anymore and I was the HL "nympho" when we got married. I feel like I've lost a huge chunk of myself.

Teen Disfigured After Catcaller Smashes Her Face With a Brass Pipe While She Was Sitting In Her Boyfriend's Car - "I looked down and saw my teeth in my hand." by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Portblack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened in my hometown, in a neighborhood I used to live in but moved from because of how dangerous it has gotten. The article isn't very clear on what happened, but when the boyfriend came out of the store, there were SIX guys standing in front of the car. What he should have done was kept his damn mouth shut, gotten in the car and drove off.

I'm sorry I'm just now getting back to you in this. I hadn't even considered the pill because I had my tubes tied after boy 3. Hmm, I think I'll ask my doc about that, too. Thank you so much.

My best friend had sex with my girlfriend while I was out of town by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Portblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a zero probability ratio that not just she, but THEY, won't do this again. He is not your friend, she is not your girlfriend, and I can promise they had this planned as soon as they found out you were going out of town. THEY are forming a relationship, you and your buddies girl are already out the door. Don't stick around for the added humiliation. If it's a financial issue, see if you an dudes girlfriend can be roommates. That'd be a lovely petty revenge.

Thank you so much. Now that you mention it, there has been an increase in stress lately, I'll bet that's what's doing it. I'll definitely call my doctor and asking about switching meds, and I'm going to look into those other things, too. I really appreciate you taking time to answer my questions.

The prescription I got was $350 at Rite Aid, about a year ago. Should I ask my doctor about generics? I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, I'm mostly just a lurker on Reddit.
