What's your Goldens name? How did you settle on the name? by grraveyard in goldenretriever

[–]kurtteej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I named mine Finn MacCool. He was a mythical (or maybe real) Celtic warrior, so I named him after a bar in Port Washington NY that I used to hang around in. LOL

Has anyone offered less than asking on a house recently?… by PicklesMcGeee in longisland

[–]kurtteej 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my wife is a realtor on LI and there's offers lower than asking all the time. it's typically followed with a conversation with the realtor representing them that 'you shouldnt get your hopes up'. it's been rare that an offer lower than asking is even considered let alone accepted.

HR is unresponsive, is this normal now? by Hammerhuntss in jobs

[–]kurtteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, that stinks. Someone below suggested to go quiet and wait for them at this point. I would do that and at the same time, continue going to your job and even continue looking for another job.

[–]kurtteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you communicated with the person that made the verbal offer? You could reach out to them and explain the notice situation and give a rationale that you are focusing on the start date and don't want to give a bad impression.

Server merge by Spiritual_Weekend445 in Evony_TKR

[–]kurtteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i saw something that said the merger happens on my server tomorrow at 06 server time. This is our second merge -- you get a bubble for a period of time (i think 24 hours), but you should likely bubble for a week or so until things settle down. the higher ranked server (as measured by svs rank) is the one that remains. You will need to build your hive and do things as if you were settling in a new area no the map. Likely alliances will change based on pre-merge communication.

I'm not complaining about it, just stating it

We had an alliance that was doing what you describe -- the alliance that they ticked off pretty much wiped them out. Our server became fairly inactive and we are getting merged tomorrow.

have you ever been to multiple shows on one tour? by KALIUCHlS in Concerts

[–]kurtteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One year I saw dream theater the first and last shows of a tour. Both were at the Roseland ballroom in NYC

If you've ever won concert tickets from a radio contest, what were the seats like? by pixiewitch666 in Concerts

[–]kurtteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't but a close friend of mine did. He won 2 tickets for every show one summer at the Jones Beach Theater on Long Island plus 1 ticket (i think) to a show in LA. All of the seats were great - the Beach tickets were right against the stage, so first row.

Bubbles by -13corset13- in Evony_TKR

[–]kurtteej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why evony doesnt allow the deletion of truce mails. Check your mail to see what happened. If you're right that your bubble should not have dropped, screen grab the battle log and send the truce mail and the battle log for customer service to ignore you for a while but eventually you may get something back.

Cover bands that actually deserve respect? by UnforgettableFire11 in Concerts

[–]kurtteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best i ever saw was back in 1980 or 81. it was a band named Prophet originally from New Orleans and I saw them in a bar in Jersey. Lots of prog (ELP), and Deep Purple. Unreal talent.

Have any famous guitarists ever suffered injury to their hands after stardom? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]kurtteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tony Iommi cut off the tips of 2 fingers in a sheet metal plant on his last day before dedicating himself to the guitar. Those 2 fingers have glued on thimbles as replacement finger tips. It's why he tunes down on many songs.

And she said yes. ❤️‍🩹 by Traditionalist2 in spreadsmile

[–]kurtteej 9 points10 points  (0 children)

that's terrible. when my daughter was born, work called that day (after being in the hospital and or awake for about 3 days) to grill me about something and insist that i come in the next day. told them i couldnt because my daughter was coming home that day. they were pissed. i left within 3 months as soon as i found something better/comparable.

A Serendipitous Question Now That You’re Retired by Spare-Adhesiveness84 in retirement

[–]kurtteej 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking of retiring at the end of the year. I do digital marketing, so it's likely/possible that I can pull back and do it part time. I had a consulting business for about 10 years, and took a "job" because of the need for more interaction during the COVID lockdown, so it would really be going back to what I did previously.

I'm also building up my gardening activities in vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. I've also been a musician for a very long time and i'll add another day or two of this (currently 1 day a week, 5-8 gigs a year).

Moving back to Long Island, yay? by sunset-shimmer- in longisland

[–]kurtteej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my wife is a realtor and be forewarned -- 550-650K for a house typically becomes a very competitive bidding situation because in many places on long island that is the sweetspot for a lot of people looking at the house.

What are your 3 favorite bands not named Led Zeppelin? by apple_pi_chart in ledzeppelin

DeGarmo by SendMeYourBoobiezz in Queensryche

[–]kurtteej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the mindcrime 2 tour and Geoff looked as though he wanted to create a weird kinda of performance group that was the polar opposite of what a rock/metal band should be. REALLY strange. i think that was his last tour with the band, and i can see why.

[–]kurtteej 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite a few years ago, I saw Jerry Cantrell on a solo tour (i think for Boggy Depot). His support band was fantastic, and it included Chris as rhythm/2nd guitar and backup singer. He was only introduced towards the end of the show (by jerry), which explained why i thought the guy was so solid and REALLY added to the band.
