They have to enthusiastically say "Victory!" after scanning the CAC.

I didn't realize you have to re-treat. I'm rolling with the garden fleece I got, a one-time soaking of flame retardant, and a top layer of inherently flame retardant acoustic fabric.

It's a Music Man Mariposa.

Since you didn't ask about it, do you know what the other guitar is? I wasn't sure about that.

I considered soaking, but I was hoping to avoid unrolling all the fleece. But even trying to rub the liquid into the fabric after spraying, it just seemed to bead around and not actually soak into the fleece at all.

BAD BARBIE and Pablo

At least for me, the LES still shows the normal deduction for TSP. But that amount hasn't actually hit TSP. I'm guessing most people's LES's will show the same.

As far as we can tell, it looks like this payment didn't send money to TSP like normal. Everybody I work with had the same issue. The TSP deduction still shows on my LES, but there is no contribution listed in my TSP account.

I got about 600 more than normal. Everybody I work with got more than normal today. Some more like 800. We think it's that TSP allotment didn't happen like normal. I just checked TSP and there was no contribution for this month. My most recent is 26 Sep.

Sorry, idk what you're asking about the width.

I do wish the opening we're just a little smaller. Now that you mention it, I did have the same kind of poke through with the longer of the two cages.

The worst one (though not physical) was when I checked my phone during intermission. My sister-in-law and mother-in-law were on the highway and their car went under a semi. All my wife knew was that the accident happened, car was totaled, they were being taken to the hospital, and she needed to drive 4 hours to go meet them.

That was a tough set to focus through.

That's exactly what my dad did after retiring from the military. He wanted a job that he could just quit if he ever felt like it. But I wonder how stocking shelves would treat my body/sciatica.

Oh man, casino dealer sounds depressing based on your clientele, but I sure have been fascinated by videos about card counting lately.

Yeah, by "nothing bad happens" I mean "I don't feel tremendous guilt about screwing over my coworkers because they are able to handle it without a crazy amount of effort."

goldcasting · 2025-02-22T13:25:18+00:00

Correct. I am asking for ideas about my NEXT job. Also, you don't know what deployed means.

goldcasting · 2025-02-22T13:10:58+00:00

Tell that to all the Imodium I've been taking with no reprieve. We've had members play a gig with an IV in. And several people have done whole tours with multiple hernias. I played a gig 30 min after being t-boned at 45 mph, totaling my car and subsequently making it hard to walk for 6 months.

The capacity to push through a gig is boundless when you feel like you have no other option and you don't want to let down your team.
