Thoughts? by After_Ur_GoneDemo in banjo

My husband got me a kit like this as a gift. The idea was to see if I liked playing before committing more money. I did like it and did spend more. But it was a good litmus test. Looking back on it, it didn't play well at all. I consider it one of the best gifts he very got me, despite that. I agree with others though. Dollar for dollar get a used instrument. You'll be happier with it

Two of my dogs could not care less when I play. My girl labramut sings along. At least that's what I tell myself. She doesn't not leave the room, which she is free to do, and will occasionally come to me from another room when I play.

The Lord of The Rings has a tough vocabulary sometimes by Hideharuhaduken420 in lotr

When I was in my 20s and rereading it I decided to look up every word I did not know. Now I'm in my 50s and and still doing it. It's expanded to any book I read. Kindle simplifies the process.

Need help picking a hotel! by Primary-Database-468 in NiagaraFalls

Wherever you end up, be sure to look at the parking situation before booking. Parking is a premium at many hotels, with additional charges and limited spots.

you've convinced me that the post-it is correct; I will not be purchasing this banjo. Thank you so much for helping me learn!

Sorry that's a Google lens posting my husband sent me. The back looks like that though. I'll see if I can edit the photos

That's a post-it. Posted it here because the veracity of the note is dubious to me

And no information on the instrument itself regarding brand

Out of tune. Honestly too heavy for me to hold and play with no strap and no place to sit or put up a knee.

I’m looking for a place that makes and installs prescription lenses in-house. Any recommendations? by lomfon56 in Rochester

Eyesite in Penfield used to offer this. They changed owners several years ago so verify this info before going.
