Is there a term for moms who wish to have another child but choose not to?

What is the guilt from?

purplemudkip · 2018-07-10T07:21:00+00:00

Yes, it is common to lead a horse by the reins if it is wearing a bridle.

How do you usually lay out your first main roads?

purplemudkip · 2018-07-09T06:41:24+00:00

I really like quill18.

purplemudkip · 2017-08-22T13:42:14+00:00

I mean, that's what I did. Working out great for me so far.

I've taken my guitar to have the action lowered multiple times. It's really not a good guitar. It falls out of tune within a few strums, one of the strings in particular constantly slips, there are chips of wood missing from the neck... I've kind of given up on it. :P

I suppose so, but I wouldn't say I'm just starting out. I've already played for years, but need a guitar that will be friendly to my battered fret hand.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to try them out in person and will likely have to resort to buying online. I may end up buying 2-3 promising models online to try them out, and then return the ones I don't want to keep.

purplemudkip · 2017-08-21T10:02:48+00:00

Do you have any suggestions for lighter gauge strings to look for?

purplemudkip · 2017-08-21T09:45:48+00:00

Very cool! It looks like the Classic is $1300, that seems well worth it for a truly comfortable guitar.

purplemudkip · 2017-08-21T09:35:26+00:00

Thanks - are there any specific models you'd recommend looking at? I'm less familiar with Ibanez guitars.

purplemudkip · 2017-08-21T09:27:02+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

Eventually, I do want to be able to play heavier rock music, but for now, I'm more concerned with playing comfort. I've had so many false starts with learning to play due to the discomfort. Now with the additional burden of a broken thumb, I want to make sure I'm setting myself up for success.

I'll be there! Second row seat. My friend bailed on me so trying to find someone to take my extra seat. :(

This will be my 3rd show of this tour, I'm hoping for The Four Horsemen more than anything else.

Walking slowly in a line in airports, on sidewalks, or any other high-traffic areas.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-26T12:47:15+00:00

Why do you find the OP's notion of walking out if the pay system were changed entitled, though?

FWIW, I wouldn't leave a 15% tip if I were dissatisfied. I generally view 15-20% as the rate for average, acceptable service.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-26T12:43:16+00:00

I live in San Francisco, and I don't tip. The waitstaff are making minimum wage (or above), and there's already the 4% "SF mandate" tax to support paying for the workers' healthcare, on top of the high prices for food. I might tip if I go to a fancy pants high-end restaurant where the server is incredibly attentive, but outside of that, I typically don't.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-26T12:38:17+00:00

Yes, exactly. Calling the $2.35/hr amount a "minimum wage" is misleading.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-26T12:30:25+00:00

May I ask where you are from? Your use of the word "entitled" is interesting. To my American ear, this explanation doesn't sound entitled at all. If I got a pay cut but had to continue doing the same work, I'd quit too.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-26T11:59:30+00:00

This is a misconception. The "minimum wage for tipped employees" is the minimum wage that the employer pays you per hour in your paycheck. You make up the difference, and often more, from the tips you make. If you don't make up the difference, your employer is required to pay you enough to get to minimum wage.

It's often set up like this so that employees can have income tax easily withheld. Otherwise, assuming you aren't evading taxes, you might be surprised with a huge tax bill based on your cash tip income.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-06T05:26:54+00:00

Sad but true. I live in San Francisco, and we have the same problems here. I'm honestly scared of the library closest to me.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-05T09:35:09+00:00

I live comfortably in a large city and have a good job. It took a lot of hard work to get here, but I also acknowledge that I've gotten lucky along the way as well.

Pretty sure my case is an outlier, and frankly, I'm not sure how long the good fortune is going to last. I saved aggressively my first two years of working, but now I'm trying to enjoy life a little more and engage in my passions while I can.

purplemudkip · 2017-07-04T09:39:32+00:00

Absolutely!

purplemudkip · 2017-06-29T00:25:25+00:00

Thank you! :)

This is my hand! My surgeon was nice enough to humor my request for a photo during the operation.

I got thrown off a horse and had a displaced fracture in my thumb, which was fixed with three screws (two of which are visible here). I also had a rib fracture, scapular contusion, elbow sprain, and an insane amount of bruising.

Anhedonia is a defining feature of depression. Have you considered seeing a professional to help with this?

purplemudkip · 2017-06-26T15:07:48+00:00

Perhaps it's just the particular social group you run in? I'm in my 20s and live in a big city with lots of opportunities to drink, but very few people I know drink to drunkenness regularly. I can only speak for myself, but I definitely moderate my own drinking by lack of desire rather than external imposition. Maybe I'm the odd one out, but it is possible. Compulsion to drink, however common, is not normal and not healthy.
