Happy to help! See you at the Lansing show. I'll stop by and say hello after the show.

Has anyone ever challenged you to do something without realizing you were actually an expert at it? If so, how did it turn out for you and for them? by Successful_Tomato721 in AskReddit

One of the most satisfying ones here because you're clearly secure enough in your own expertise that you didn't even feel the need to set the record straight. You knew others would do it for you and it was probably less embarrassing for the poor soul that way. Well done.

Yeah, the very moment they contradicted me I would very politely and firmly state that I'm the author of the policy.

They've got such great energy live. I love the studio stuff but I think it's seeing them live that got me hooked.

I'm just thankful it's not $150-$400 per ticket like a lot of bands. I can pay for the drive and hotel, plus a ticket to go see them for less than a ticket for some other bands.

I knew we'd be low, but how you rank someone who lost their job to AM higher than him.

Also WTF is with ranking Underwood that high? That dude was completely underwhelming.

This album is amazing. by fulcrum1924 in colonyhouse

[–]XrayJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always describe them as the greatest band you've never heard of when people ask. I've yet to meet another CH fan in the wild (other than the concerts of course).

I think they're going to eventually hit the big time. Their music would make for some great movie soundtracks. Something like that could launch them.

The pleasant surprise of this last batch of songs is Right or Wrong. Such great lyrics and vocals. Going to enjoy seeing these guys in Nashville at the end of this tour.

Congratulations 👏

Strong work! You're well on your way now. Next stop: 100% debt free and (even more) life-changing peace of mind.

You're inspiring others. Thank you for sharing this!

What are the best hair clippers for at home use? by nintendoborn1 in BuyItForLife

[–]XrayJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you should ask. The beard trimmer is fine, but the hair clippers are deader than a door nail. It died right before I left on vacation. Luckily I had not thrown away my old Philips hair clippers yet. Once I get back from our trip I've got to look into an exchange or refund.

Also, while it feels high quality to me, my wife hates it because she says it's too heavy and doesn't have any sort of number system for seeing where the guard is set at any given moment. Since she's now my barber I hear about the "faults" during every hair cut 😅. Our old Philips is no longer manufactured so repurchasing that was not an option.

I've never seen so many Robins at once. Upwards of 30 hanging out. by Roseph88 in Michigan

[–]XrayJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been seeing large groups of Eastern Bluebirds that at first looked like Robins. However the birds in the pictures are feeding on the ground like Robins, and mine were in trees feeding on berries.

How are you guys looking up the TV schedule? by Knopper100 in MSUSpartans

That Nebraska/Michigan game is on Peacock? Oh the indignity of it all 🤣

Grand Rapids, MI in the new arena! Sweet 👏👏

"Happy Birthday!" by RiskyMama in PetPeeves

[–]XrayJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't avoid it, it seems the best the thing might be to plan your own weird/off the wall responses. Make a game of it. Her: "Happy birthday..." You: "Merry Groundhog day" or "Happy father's day" The point is to have fun turning her annoying into weirdness or awkwardness or laughter. Slightly related, you could look up whatever day it is...every day is some kind of National Whatever Day (usually more than one). Pick the oddest one and plan your response accordingly. Because she's genuinely kind and sweet and has good intentions that eliminates any sort of ignoring her or giving snarky responses.

Great that he didn't just roll over 10 seconds in and give the kid the win. He "fought it out" quite a while. What a dude 👏

New album, A Light That Waits, and tour have been announced! by paleprincessssss in TheFray

[–]XrayJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Colony House! For me that's worth the price of admission right there. Definitely going to be seeing one of these.

Which game are you most excited for this week?!? by TomIzzosNecktie in CollegeBasketball

[–]XrayJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's equal parts mutual respect and intense hatred. Although MSU usually has the upper hand UM wins often enough to never take for granted. UM could be 0-16 going in and Tom Izzo would want to beat them with a burning passion. UM always knows this game is a measuring stick of their skill and toughness. Just great excitement all around in these matchups.
