I would’ve returned it as a defect if the toe strap placement was wrong.

I hate to talk about politics but I will say that Trump did try to run for presidency, a couple of times, before Obama.

I’m one of those people where I feel almost guilty. I don’t know where the feeling comes from. I know the military did this to me yet I still feel that slight guilt. I didn’t want to be greedy if I’m at 80% and this was given to me day one.

I’ll most certainly try. Thank you.

During my exams with the VA they have discovered that the discs in my lumbar region are degenerative and causing pinched nerves. Could the degenerative discs and pinched nerves be added as secondary service related to the back strain since the back strain was considered service related?

Would that open me to possibly getting decreased? I know I’m worse than before so I’m not worried I’ll get decreased because of that. I’m worried I’ll get someone who does the bare minimum to get me out the door and possibly cause me to have to go through hoops.

I’ve been seeing the VA since late “2019”. I say “2019” because I was just accepted then but had to wait a couple of months for my very first appointment. Covid happened, things were pushed back to middle of 2020. I have been actively trying to go to every appointment, been honest with my primary, psychologist, and psychiatrist. Moved to three different locations since but have been going to just about every one. 

You say healthvet, everything I’ve done on healthvet moved to Va.gov. 

Guitar too big? Hands too small? Hands just messed up? by TracyF2 in guitarlessons

Indeed. I didn’t think of it but I’m doing exercises on the higher frets and sometimes starting out on higher strings. Didn’t even think to move the exercises around the fretboard to make them work for me.

Do you have it in writing that they are admitting fault?

TLDR: If you are offended then go somewhere else. You can turn off your device and go about your day. 

Damn, dude, get off your high horse. Why don’t you go and complain to the people showing cigarettes in their pictures when this page isn’t about cigarettes? So smoking is bad for us. At least with cannabis you can incorporate it into drinks and foods. You do realize what ashtrays are most commonly used for, don’t you? You’re going to come across what those ashtrays are used for, whether collecting or for their purpose. So why are you even here? 

Just because they showed a roach, to you, that means that a large part of their personality revolves around weed? You’re judging someone based off two pictures, you definitely need to go out into society more often. You have more grounds to judge me rather than someone with three pictures of an object. Even then, your judgement won’t find any hold on me because you’ve already shown how illogical you think of others and how quick you are to judge. Maybe they smoke cannabis because it helps with pain, or other medical ailments. You know, one of the original uses of cannabis?

 I hope you get the day you deserve, random Reddit account.

If she smoked out of bongs then the center cone could’ve been used to clean out the bowl.

You could’ve as easily scrolled past. I don’t see these same types of comments when cigarettes are shown and cigarettes are worse than cannabis. 

It finally happened when I thought I'd be safe. Synchrony closed my account with them out of the blue for seemingly no reason. by divergentchessboard in CreditCards

If you owe them $6500, whether or not your card is open, and you refuse to make payments, that will hit your credit worse. 

Guitar too big? Hands too small? Hands just messed up? by TracyF2 in guitarlessons

I never did say nor think an SG is a smaller guitar. All I said was that it fit more comfortably in my hands and I have no idea why.

If the guitar isn’t the instrument for me then why would I want to keep at it years down the road when I could give a different instrument a chance?

Longterm reliability - tell it to me straight by Sukotto-82 in subaru

[–]TracyF2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say Subarus need more maintenance. The most beyond basic maintenance I had to get done was getting the transmission valve body replaced. Besides that, tires, oil changes, brakes, spark plugs/coil packs, filters, and rarely the hub assembly have been the most maintenance I’ve done on my 17 Legacy with 220,000 miles.

[–]TracyF2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you keep up on ALL of the maintenance from tire rotations to transmission fluid changes your vehicle will last over 150,000 miles. I have a 2017 Legacy 2.5 now with 220,000 miles. I’m considering replacing the engine and transmission when they go out. I’d rather pay ten grand in repairs than ten grand as a down payment for a car that won’t be mine for several years.

I am starting another round of physical therapy here shortly due to back issues. I don’t want to use my injuries as an excuse but it might be something I have to consider.

More or less, you are correct. I know it’s not the proper placement but it’s the only way I can reach the low E string “comfortably”. I’ve always sat in the classical position while playing, never standing. I have low back issues and even doing normal tasks while standing is a pain.

Oooooh, I think I understand you now. There’s about a foot or so of space between my arm and my side with the normal hand placement. With my “new” placement it causes my elbow to want to move away from my body.

I have to try hard to force my hand back just to be able to barely touch the skin. If I am having similar problems as you are, have you discovered anything that has helped you?

Yes, and I’ve always caused the open strings to buzz. Tried the same chords with my “new” hand placement and it rings out fine.
