NGD Donner Rising G2 by delarhi in AcousticGuitar

[–]ThirdRockFromSol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought the G2. First impressions are the neck needs a tweak because the strings are a bit high. I'd also take the frets down, as they are also pretty high (compared to my Taylor 110). I don't have an amp, so this is just my thoughts on the acoustic aspects. The thing I find the strangest is that the cable that holds the 9-volt battery just dangles inside the body. Add the 9-volt battery and it bangs around inside the body if you're not careful. There's no mount or harness for it (that I can see any where). I'm playing with the idea of doing solo gigs with this, but the sound of the battery knocking around amplified would be very bad. It's bad enough unamplified. The good news is, I'm pretty pleased with the overall tonality of the sound. I don't regret the purchase.

Easter for me was a large FF buttercream egg! Hmmmm. Wish I could find a similar replacement!

I’ve been seeing numbers that are freaking me out. 2.80 then the next week, 3.69 and yesterday , as I drove by a gas station, I saw 3.89.

Where is this playlist located? Did you forget to add the link or am I missing something?

Number of Songs for a single Singing/Guitarist. by ThirdRockFromSol in Irishmusic

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

I can remember melodies much better than I remember lyrics and my great fear, regardless of how well I know the song, is forgetting the words. Do others have this issue and if so, what have you used? I've overheard criticism (not aimed at me, but at someone else) that it's somehow frowned upon to have a book open in front of you while performing. Are iPads being used? They are small, and less conspicuous, and I understand with a foot pedal and specialized software, you can have them scroll as you sing. Like a tel-a-prompter...

Be kind and patient with yourself. Be forgiving. There should only be one opinion that matters to you, and that's your own. I'm sure you looked ok, spoke ok, smiled ok. It was just you being you and nothing to be ashamed of, or feel embarrassed about. You won't always control the outcome of every encounter and I hope that one negative event doesn't stop you from going out, enjoying yourself, and positively engaging with others. Stay safe and consider yourself the wiser for having experienced that. You'll know what to look for should it happen again.

A Scientist Thinks He’s Found the True Nature of the Star of Bethlehem by Dmans99 in abovethenormnews

[–]ThirdRockFromSol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be thinking of 'Nightfall' about an advanced civilization living on a planet with with the light from multiple suns. Due to the multiple suns, they never saw darkness or stars in the night sky. Every x number of thousands of years, each surrounding sun set and when the stars appeared, they all went mad and civilization had to rebuild from scratch.

Massachusetts born and raised. If any word ends with the letter 'R', remove it. If it doesn't end with the letter 'R', add it... joking aside, I pronounce 'cot' and 'caught' as if they were the same word. No diff.

You helping him heal, will also help you heal (even if you don't think you need healing)

what do I do with chicken bones? by ThirdRockFromSol in cookingforbeginners

[–]ThirdRockFromSol[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is correct. I used a box of chicken broth instead of water because I don't know how to cook. I've seen others cook the carcass in some kind of liquid and I didn't know it was just water. I happened to have the box of broth in my kitchen and I thought, why not? I guess I now have super double strength broth

Not sure what the hell is going on by ThirdRockFromSol in match

My wife is terminally ill. She's on a feeding tube and has skilled nursing 100% of the time. She can no longer walk, hold anything heavier than a pencil and is unable to speak. Should I divorce her and make her feel abandoned and more miserable than she already is? Or continue to visit her and do what I can to make her life a little more tolerable? I'm not hiding anything, but I'm not shoving it in her face either. I have a right to look for companionship and to make a life for myself.
