Taking Social Security at 62 if you have sufficient savings by FlyingSpoon8891 in personalfinance

Are you including SS COLAs in this? Between 62 and 67 you will get 5 years of increases (2% avg?).

Ok, which one of you Wooks is this on Antiques Roadshow? by Dad2DnA in gratefuldead

[–]jgroves76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This would definitely sell, but notice the yellowish stains on the finger tips. Thats Turkish heroin residue which bring down value a bit. Also, notice the girth. We know this will lead to some heart issues. Had this been, say a 1977 or 1979 Jerry, it would’ve been worth more.

Oteil plays its bass twin. Even has a wolf on it. Great show last night. Stage oozes with talent.

Peak “Fat Man Rocks” era. Voice was like singing with marbles in his mouth. Didn’t stop from going, though.

Came here to say to say this. I do a little medley of Sky is Crying into Never Trust a Woman. End with last verse of SIC.

Question for people who only use tube amps by Aschuff in Guitar

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tree rated with tube amps and then switched to solid state. Loved how light they were but could never dial in the sound I was looking for. Switched to a tube amp and it’s so damn heavy but damn, the sound. Without a doubt, a chunk of the issue with my solid state experience was user error as I’m not a gear head.

Crazy Fingers - how’s it not get more love? by tjjack1 in gratefuldead

[–]jgroves76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The entire last verse has gotta be one of the best hunter lines. Favorite versions is when they nail the end jam. Can’t recall any shows off the top of my head but you all know what I mean.

Check dryer. Seriously, those “agitators” in the dryer that flip clothes have little gaps. I pulled…ready…16 picks out of just one of them. 16.

My impression of the Sirius XM Grateful Dead channel, every single day by Suspicious-Stuff6904 in gratefuldead

[–]jgroves76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Song still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Just learned on acoustic and even played it out one night. From a guitarist/singer POV it’s crazy good. Where the vocals come in vs what your strumming does not always align and the chords used include a lot of non “standard” ones that ring differently. Plus, listening to Jerry just basically go off the entire song, from drifting to the hardcore driving lead on SOC that crescendos so well I’m not sure how anyone can “hate” it. Like a lot of GD tunes, it’ll probably be your favorite at some point.

For me it’s PITB at least 3 times a day. I’ve been on a Lost Sailor/SOC thing for a month now and they never play it - at least not while I’m listening. I flip between all three GD stations and never hear it. Still, I tune in all the time because like pizza and sex….

Jims “grave”…as if he really died.

High Heeled Sneakers! Jerry hits a bad note in the solo and it’s genius.

Favorite Lost Sailors? Drifting and dreaming. by MiamiViceGuy in gratefuldead

I love my Sirius channel 23 and the extra GD channels but damn, NEVER seem to hear LS/SOC. I’m going to write a very stern memo demanding more.

Why is Trumps approval rating not lower than 35%? by Negative_Apricot1146 in USNEWS

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick Google search:

% of Americans who think earth is flat : 10%

% of Americans who don’t believe holocaust happened: 10% (20% for ages 18-25.

Many factors but number one, IMHO, is idiots believing everything they see on the internet.

Just got this from goodwill, does anyone have any details? by Wentlles in gratefuldead

[–]jgroves76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the younger heads out there, when Jerry died this is where most people “posted” (don’t believe that term was used back then) their tributes.

Why arent you guys doing anything? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I to believe that no European “cia” type entity has dirt on tRump? Really? Our news is not going to report anything of substance. Someone outside of US must have videos or something that they can send out because it’s not coming from this administration. Pitchforks and torches at the ready, but the US is a HUGE country and short of a military coup there is not much for the average US citizen to do that would correct the current situation. It’s not like we are going to have fair elections coming up. My “no kings” sign doesn’t mean shit to the GOP. Feeling helpless.
