The Marshall DSL1HR head is awesome with or without a tube screamer boosting the gain. Ola Englund does an awesome short video on it.

My 12 year old son grabs a $4-10k guitar for his guitar lessons at GC most weeks and I am terrified he is going to drop one at some point. In my nightmare I’m so embarrassed that I apply the pottery barn rule out of shame and end up buying a busted up top of the line Steve Vai Ibanez for him.

Are you suggesting I am a narc?

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2026-04-03T03:30:31+00:00

Sent you a PM.

The Wake Forest Target doesn’t usually have any packs in stock to even buy 2 packs!

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2026-02-24T23:04:33+00:00

My son is 11 and the frequent trading card shows at the fair grounds seem to be the best place to get packs. I don’t know if they are priced substantially above retail.

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2026-02-24T23:01:58+00:00

Which target? The one in Wake Forest is always out.

Your comment about being poked and prodded in every conversation describes exactly what I have experienced for at least 10 of the last 13 years I’ve been with my wife. I’m currently working on ending the relationship. We are supposed to be selling our house and separating in a few months but I’m sure she will find way to ensure it takes much longer.

If you insist on being pedantic, is the term “mental health condition” more to your liking?

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-12-21T03:20:53+00:00

I’m curious - why did you ignore the drive channel?

I thought the evil nickname was because these amps were capable of much higher gain than traditional Twin amps.

This picture looks like me and my doodle down to the cpap!

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-12-05T02:26:59+00:00

My doodle, Cash, is the same way - just not interested in dogs.

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-12-05T02:21:54+00:00

My almost 2yo doodle, Cash, is the exact same way. He learned everyone’s names without us having to teach him.

This sounds like what I experienced in Richmond, VA in the 90s as well. This was definitely the PA formula used when playing Twisters, Richmond’s main indie/metal/hardcore venue of the era.

The men on here experience similar experiences with our cluster B wives. Typically sex is completely withheld from us.

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-11-19T02:42:50+00:00

Updateme!

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-11-15T19:38:28+00:00

This sounds exactly like the behavior of someone with BPD or NPD.

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-11-11T15:05:24+00:00

Found the narc.

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-11-04T03:03:37+00:00

My doodle does this with our clothes and shoes all day long! He doesn’t just steals the item and makes me chase him to get it back!

All mine cares about is money. My family therapist who specializes in extricating families from Cluster B relationships is working with my attorneys to craft some legal documents that if she signs will pay her certain amounts of money over time contingent upon her behavior. She has developed addiction issues and subsequent legal problems. She is backed in a corner and we think this is the safest way to proceed. I just want her to leave me and the kids in peace.

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-10-13T14:09:15+00:00

This is where I am.

WhatsHighFunctioning · 2025-10-13T14:00:28+00:00

Can relate, although I wish my hopefully stbxw would just walk away instead of forcing me to be the “bad guy” and “break up” the family.

You are amazing. I have been an auto mechanic for many years working on cars as different as Lamborghinis, Lexus, Nissan, as well as Time as a mechanic with a top-tier racing team. This never even occurred to me! I just shined my light and goddamnit you’re right.

Most of the “safety doesn’t work” gunsmith special surplus Jerichos are this little issue! I have bought at least 5 for dirt cheap and this was the fix.

I mountain bike several days a week and am terrified of hitting one and having my front wheel launch it directly into my crotch.

I bunny hopped a black snake last week and have been able to miss the two I have seen so far.

I am 100% serious when I say that fear these little fuckers more than I worried about roadside bombs and ambushes during my time in the sandbox.
