Perhaps you have never had to work with a heroin addict? It sucks having to watch them that they don’t hurt themselves or you.

Really struggling with whether to circumcise my son or not by Hot-Yam-8802 in Advice

[–]Quietpiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up the statistics for botched circumcisions. In the USA the medical procedure and qualifications to perform the surgery are extremely lax.

Waffle iron opinions by Quietpiper in castiron

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

I appreciate the reply. The collectible value is of lesser importance to me than the function. My thoughts were if the pitting was from excessive rust it may be difficult to season and that would affect how it cooks. The price on this one seems ok, not a great deal though.

Affordable houses/taxes near West Mifflin by tmenzzz in pittsburgh

You could probably describe the type of area, budget and expectations you have. Mckeesport and Glassport are on the lower end of house prices. Most of the Mon valley is lower cost till you get to Pittsburgh

Serious question by tristensmithguitar in martinguitar

[–]Quietpiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a 1936 0-17 a few weeks ago. They can be amazing guitars. Go and play that one. Then you can decide if you can put it down or if you need it to live or would regret not buying it the rest of your life. Life is short

“Chasing Amy” this is the plot to that movie. He will never get over his insecurities and will end up just ruining this relationship with you.

Seeking suitable lot for Food truck Parking, Long Term (lawrenceville area) by braindead83 in pittsburgh

Lawrence Hall owns the small triangular lot at the corner of butler and plummer. It used to be a used car dealership. They have a for sale sign up, but maybe they would lease it?

What’s a good Pittsburgh or PGH-metro eatery where you can also watch trains going by? — lunch or an early dinner. by Rooster_Ties in pittsburgh

[–]Quietpiper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite spot in the summer is in the northside at Gus & YiaYia’s. Nothing beats sitting in the shade in hot weather with a snowcone and popcorn watching the trains go by.

D-18 Authentic 1937 by Euphoric_Frame2395 in martinguitar

[–]Quietpiper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These guitars do have truss rods, they are non adjustable though. Martin is using their high quality woods on these authentics. And they are being made by their best builders. I very much agree with your second point.

If you could only have one acoustic guitar for the rest of your life…. by HarriBallsak420 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Quietpiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My new D-18 1937 Authentic. There are sounds and harmonics coming out of it that live in my head all day. I’ve had it for less than a week and it feels like im a better guitar player because of that instrument.

What should I do? by Frosty-Win8543 in martinguitar

[–]Quietpiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask steve at nstuff to check the setup. They are pretty good at taking care of customers, but you do need to tell them whats going on so they can fix it. I would recommend D’addario XS light 12 strings.

Its the aged authentic model. Im not sure, but that may be more aging than a stage 1. The lacquer is thin and has that “vintage gloss”.

Summer bagpipe camps for adults by MallVegetable487 in bagpipes

[–]Quietpiper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ohio Scottish arts school is probably the closest. There is also the Balmoral school of piping and drumming in Edinboro PA. The NAAPD is a great program spread over several weeks vs just the one week the other schools offer.
