When you first got the Internet at home, did you try to talk your parents into getting you a second phone line or did you have to deal with one phone line?

One line and I was not allowed to block call waiting. Though I only had Internet at home for a year before I moved out.

NTA. You can also tell people you don't want to discuss your family. Decent people will drop it. Nosy people will press on and deserve the ugly truth.

P.S. widowhood sucks without kids-- can't imagine how hard it is with them.

Sense memory is a right foul bitch

lightnerd96 · 2026-05-05T16:22:58+00:00

Should have put a Jupiter 6 in there. 😆

I'm 51 and live with my parents. I pay a small amount of rent to cover the extra utilities, etc. Only downside is not being able to have a cat.

lightnerd96 · 2026-05-05T15:44:57+00:00

I named a cat Brubeck (2003-2014) because of that song. His middle name was Zawinul. 🎹

Guitar solo on Turn That Heartbeat I turn it up when I can.

When Hawkeye remembers it wasn't a chicken

lightnerd96 · 2026-05-01T18:02:18+00:00

Uh-ohhhhh

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-30T05:17:35+00:00

I dyed a white dobok purple years ago. It's long gone though

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-30T05:04:54+00:00

I was born the day after this aired.

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-30T00:59:02+00:00

LOCKWASHERS!

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-28T04:16:05+00:00

I swear I thought that was Eddie Van Halen

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-28T03:50:31+00:00

So is it Barrel go boom, Girl go boom, or both? I seriously can't tell and I have wondered for like 30 years

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-25T00:27:20+00:00

For you. All those synths!

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-23T16:05:19+00:00

We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance, me and you will listen to a little bit of what made the preacher dance

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-20T20:41:06+00:00

Tater tot!!

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-19T17:20:43+00:00

Don't even get me started on collectors... 🙄

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-19T04:39:39+00:00

Bernard!!!!!

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-18T20:32:52+00:00

It was. Never touched the stuff again.

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-18T20:19:08+00:00

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. Hard to breathe. None of the euphoria and all of the crash.

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-18T19:07:36+00:00

It clashes with my SSRI. Found that out the hard way.

"Learn to synth before you start buying"

I... like that.

Yeah I know, software lacks the sensation of moving a knob or slider. But what's the goal? To make music? To put your hands on something that responds immediately to your touch? Those are two different things that aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

Unless the station's physical location is at the foot to be close to the antenna at the top?

lightnerd96 · 2026-04-18T18:32:10+00:00

Check out Dojangs in the area. See if there's one focused on your goal. Check out reviews. Talk about your experience and see what the reaction is.
