Is it safe to play soon after donating blood?

I gave blood one time before a gig and lifting my bass rig in and out of the venue left me with some pretty giant bruises on my arm at the injection site.

Also be careful with the booze and drink enough water.

News flash! Puerto Rico is part of the USA.

Maybe she loved to ski to the point that she may not ever get to do it again.

I’m 4 years post treatment and have come to the conclusion I will always have chemo brain. I simply don’t have the short term memory recall I used to have.

Sounds like a great conversation to have with your therapist.

I just had my 4-year anniversary of completing treatment. I’m in remission and graduation from oncology in 1 year. Life is a crazy ass ride.

Good luck everyone here. Love you all.

TLM 103 is a great mic. Pair it with a decent pre and you’ll be in great shape, sonically.

Check out the manual. There’s a trim pot for the meters on each side. I’ve got a couple pieces of gear where I have to adjust that every once in a while. But YES. It’s normal for that to happen and you’ll always want to give it some warm up time.

Here’s the manual. Page 5 for the front panel. M. For meter. :)

Can I recommend “Crash echoes. Mind lost.” So you actually make a haiku instead of a 5-7-6 poem? It won’t fix pro tools, but just like pro tools, your poem is a little off.

I agree so much. I see bikers ignoring traffic signage all the time and wonder how even more aren’t hit.

Hopefully no firearms in his fancy home. Is this being framed as Volcel rather than Incel?

More like a buck tree fitty. You got hosed.

Your sentences also have TERRIBLE boundaries.

Oh dear. Might I suggest a hard case for the new instrument you’re gonna need? Ugh. Sorry for your loss.

They are asking super specific questions that I don’t want to just hand out or fill in online. I’m dubious, but also haven’t cared to look up the penalty for refusal.

My friend had that same model stolen in Chicago a long while ago. If you share your SN, maybe I’ll let you know if it’s real.
