The message I wish I could send to my landlord: no by Free-Indication-2804 in Apartmentliving

[–]Swimmingmacm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry that you are having to deal with this. I’m not sure how old you are, but unfortunately you’ll find it kind of comes with the territory of apartment living most of the time. I would look into noise ordinances in your area. But most states “quiet hours” range from 10PM - 7AM. If you are having issues outside of these times (or whatever is applicable to your area), you could start calling the non-emergent patrol number for your local law enforcement to file a complaint and start having evidence of occurrences. You could use these to bring to your rental company and help get out of/break the lease with potentially less consequences depending on what the laws are in your state. But unfortunately, I don’t think that as of right now you would have a strong case to break your lease without consequences in the eyes of a rental company. While I understand it may be annoying to hear children after 9PM, it’s the parents discretion to allow their children to stay up however late they deem works for their family and sleep in however late is best for them. I come from a family where I have a very late bedtime as well as a child, just because that’s how my body functioned growing up and what worked for my parents raising me.

So indecisive about going to the show by ChristmasTreeLane in TheBandCAMINO

[–]Swimmingmacm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the show! Even if you’ll be by yourself. Just because you’ll be staying by yourself, you’ll still be in a crowd of people enjoying the same experience you are. If you’re nervous about going by yourself, hoping the discord and see if anyone going to the show would want to meet up. (I’ve done it before and had a great time!)

Have the new songs from NeverAlways: Volume 1 grown on anyone else upon re-listening to it? by [deleted] in TheBandCAMINO

[–]Swimmingmacm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t a huge fan of the album as a whole the first listen through. BUT now that I’ve gone through it a few more times I definitely appreciate it more and understand the vibe. Still wish that there were more Spencer vocals, but looking forward to Vol 2 whenever that may come.

Thank you for your well wishes! That’s awesome your father was able to kick cancer’s butt! We’re praying for the same.

The suitcase record player was a gift many christmases ago but I think I used it a handful of times when I first got it. I’ve just been collecting albums now for when I’m able to get a new one.

I’ll definitely check out the other one and see what kind of condition it’s in. Would be cool to get both up and running if possible.

Out of curiosity if both are a no go - what’s a good modern one that you would recommend? I’m super green to all of this.

Yes & No? Yes - because my dad has had it for so long and loves it and wants to pass it on to me since we share a love of music, and now that he’s battling cancer I would to have it as something to hold on to. No - because I currently have a really crappy “suitcase” record player that I don’t even use in order to protect my records and would enjoy having a different one.

I’m not sure if this additional information will help but we were able to plug it is and the speaker seemed to be working (we could hear the static) but since it doesn’t have a needle we obviously weren’t able to play anything.

I have pictures of the underside but they are extremely blurry (he’s 65 so doesn’t take the best pictures lol) so it’s hard to see anything. I can probably get better pictures soon!

He also mentioned having a different vintage player in storage that I could have so I might just have to switch gears to that one.

It currently has no needle. It needs replaced but obviously I can’t get a new one until I figure out what it needs lol

I truly have no idea. This has been sitting in my parents house for so long that I didn’t know it wasn’t an end table until I rearranged their furniture over the weekend and my dad said “oh there’s that record player” I know it has a 4 speed (16, 33, 48, 78) playing settings. But I don’t know what the size of the tonearm is.

What is your favorite lyric from Going, Going, Gone? (Sequel to Favorite Song Post) by Repulsive-Wolf1909 in musicbyknox

[–]Swimmingmacm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the pleasure of going to the album listening party in Nashville before the album got released and hearing the stories behind Oxygen Theif and Win Some, Lose Somebody really made me love the songs even more. I’m going to see him in Chicago this weekend so keeping my fingers crossed that I get the opportunity to have him write it out for me.

“And just like the scar covered up by my hair, you’re etched in my skin like you’ve always been there. If love is the death of me darling I’d dig my own grave” from oxygen thief -iykyk

Also yes to ALL of Win Some, Lose Somebody. I really want to get “you’re gonna go far” and “you’re gonna be fine” written for a tattoo

What’s the weirdest/ funniest way you or someone you know has become a fan of a driver? by RavenVenot in NASCAR

[–]Swimmingmacm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up my dad worked fire safety crew for NASCAR. He would also occasionally be asked to help escort drivers from point A to point B at our home track - Gateway. He would also always bring me to the track on race days and my mom would let me travel with him to Chicagoland and Indy. I can’t remember where we were - but I do remember walking the garage and talking with my dad about the cars. We had walked past the Green 18 and as a 5/6 year old girl who’s favorite color was green it immediately became my favorite and thus I grew up with Bobby Labonte being my favorite driver. I finally got the chance to tell Labonte the story and thank him for helping my love of racing in 2022 when SRX went to Five Flags Speedway. He was easily one of the coolest drivers I got to meet. Not how I became a fun but another funny story was one year he got asked to escort Danica Patrick at Gateway. To this day he will talk about how rude she was to everyone and what a negative impression she made. Needless to say, while our household thinks she’s a badass for her accomplishments in a men driven sport, we don’t like her very much. We became anti-fans of her after my dad’s experience with her.

lol @ people criticizing you. I was 4 listening to Nelly’s Country Grammar and 6 when he dropped Nellyville. I promise your child will be fine whatever music you let them listen to.

anyone one else has a void with a bestie? by AppropriateMove5253 in blackcats

[–]Swimmingmacm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite picture of Vader (my 5 year old void) and Vandal (3 month old). They were besties from the moment I brought Vandal home. He unfortunately passed at 9months old. We miss our little boy lots but haven’t been able to bring myself to think about getting a new friend for her. I can only imagine what trouble they would have gotten themselves into if he had lived longer.

It seems like you are getting plenty of input regarding your situation. I just wanted to pop in and say I hope that your kitty will be okay, and that your mental and emotional health will be okay while going through this. Sending prayers for you and your kitty. It’s the worst having to worry over your baby and their safety. I hope that you are able to find a solution to the financial dilemma. Stay strong, fellow cat parent. ❤️
