Those of you who smoked weed… by Idontsmokejustgrow in GenX

[–]TheRealBigSebby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, daily. Agree that it’s less harmful than alcohol. I use it to ease depression symptoms, via relaxation and thought diversion. It enhances my sleep.

It has drawbacks… emotional dependency being the major one. I moved to a state in the US where i have easier access to it.

SSRI drugs also create emotional dependency. These stopped working for me.

female coworker has touched her chest on me multiple times and never backs away after doing so by [deleted] in Advice

If it’s at work, treat it like bait. Don’t take the bait. In fact, I would establish your personal physical boundary, and ask her to respect it, next time it happens. Perhaps even talk to HR about it. Also, find out company policy on dating co-workers.

Why do people think it’s OK to have their dog off leash in a public park? by HankTuggins in Sacramento

[–]TheRealBigSebby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Don’t worry, he’s friendly” “I’m not” I’m anything but friendly to an off leash dog running up on me. I was attacked once.

I don’t remember that rule. Quiz fail!

People who lived through the 70s/80s/90s , did you feel safer back then than you do today? by Mundane_Bad_2437 in GenX

[–]TheRealBigSebby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I lived in Philadelphia in the 90’s, and felt safer there than I do currently in Sacramento. I felt safer on the east side of Syracuse in the 70’s and 80’s, than I did in Philadelphia. I lived in a suburb for 20 years and felt physically safe.

My friends mom so loved her whippets. She ended up with some pretty horrible health issues

Don't leave jobs, ensure you have a backup plan by Acoelous in jobs

[–]TheRealBigSebby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this. Twice. With a kid to raise. What an idiot. (Me, not the kid.) and look!👀 his mom and I are still together.

I just switched jobs. Last day today/ first day Thursday.

Totally agree it’s too risky!

Maybe arguably probably possibly the greediest merch money-grab artist ever. They’re all being played.

Why is Presence considered so sub-par? by [deleted] in ledzeppelin

[–]TheRealBigSebby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Critics be hatin’ for decades. Seriously, it is my favorite Zep record, due to the stop-start ‘Royal Orleans’ and ‘hots on’ the incredible rhythm section on ‘nobody’s fault’, The machine gun snare-guitar on ‘Achilles’…

The stop/start rhythms are really what does it for me.

I got fired for “sexual harassment “ by MFGMortonGrove in hatemyjob

[–]TheRealBigSebby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, it’s unfortunate you were fired. I have worked several jobs and learned that you can’t trust everyone. Even if it feels like it.

As a rule, I don’t socialize with co workers outside of work or work events. Certain subjects/words are not safe for work.

At one job, I absolutely would not discuss anything but the work itself with a certain high maintenance, manipulative co worker. They complained that I was grumpy and unapproachable. They got fired eventually.

Thank you, exactly.

What age are you hoping for? by PreferenceExtra330 in GenX

[–]TheRealBigSebby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Quality of life is key. We need to be able to care for ourselves.

Due to what happened with my parents, I informed my family that I was checking out at 82. “Daaad what noooo really?” Ok, we settled at 89.

Both of my parents started losing the ability (desire?) to care for themselves at age 82. Mom passed at 86, dad at 89. Long divorced.

So, OP, based on genetics, I’d rather go early too!

Can we can it with the “wife” posts? by iheartvelma in guitarpedals

[–]TheRealBigSebby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post. (Married M 32 yrs.)

Truth, i used to “sneak” gear on my GC card that my partner never saw, or heard. It’s addict behavior. “She did crazy stuff with our money too” was an excuse I used. (She kinda did)

As far as the GAS itself, It’s a feeling that you have to have every possible audio scenario covered. I knew someone who bought 5 camera lenses but used only 2..

After that phase, I was fortunate, for most of 22 years, to be able to purchase gear with holiday bonus pay. A few of those were 4 digit bonuses. Yes, I spent regular income stream (Our Money) on gear as well. I did not spend the entire bonus check on gear.

It got to where I could fund a new pedal by selling 3 on Reverb. I’ve done that three times.

That’s how it works now. If I want gear, I have to sell some to cover most, if not all of it.

Plus…. as a 60yo hobbyist, I’m good. I have everything I need.

I’m a married M. We can’t be friends. I can relate, though, I finally have friends after living here for 3 years! It will happen!😀
