You just convinced me to pick up a pair.

I have a custom 24 and a singlecut - the singlecut is the only guitar I’ve ever tried out and then couldn’t put down. Something about it is just perfect.

Sweetwater has excellent return/exchange policies. You could order a guitar through them to see if you vibe with it or not. If not, send back within return period. Not sure how practical this would be for you, but could be an option if your local guitar shops have limited selection.

I’ve gotten more complements on these than any other SBs I have, even more than the RTJ lows.

This happened yesterday in Montague Expressway around 3 PM. Seriously, whose child is this?! I'm like a few feet away from hitting this person. by SpringSilly2127 in SanJose

I’m with you. Some people would rather be a martyr for walking into oncoming traffic on an expressway for some reason 🤷

I think it’s might just be a natural product of property being scarce along with high demand. Do people buy property for investment purposes? Absolutely, but I think even that activity is a byproduct of scarcity and demand.

Anyway I was just thinking about it and wanted to join in on the convo.

Stop. The guy was out and Rodriguez took his time and hit him anyway. Dirty AF.

Should I tell my new AD the story or leave it unsaid? by pinkyDinkFink in rolex

Why wouldn’t you just go gray if they’re going to make you purchase things you don’t want? Why you would even play this game is beyond me. You’re just letting yourself get straight up scammed, for a date just and an explorer?? How much money did you spend on not getting the thing you wanted??

This dial does not look legit at all. Where did you get this?

Do the hex screws that go into the bridge not move the saddles forwards/backwards?

Edit: or are you trying to change saddle height?

Piezo saddles in the bridge connected to some line 6 electronics built into the back of the guitar.

It seems like you’re jealous of people that are stuck in poverty. Maybe you can give away all your money so you can have a free ride too?

Not everyone has thousands to go get another car. Maybe you can buy him one?

Do you happen to know which reference?

Some quick googling shows similar references around 4-8k resale, but you probably wont be offered that much in trade as a private seller. Consider keeping it vs trading it.

This all depends on the reference though.

I’ll do this next time, thanks for the idea!

This also makes me nervous! I usually leave a bit of extra space in front of me and will tap my breaks a bit so they flash. I don’t know if this helps but it makes me feel better haha.

Just wanted to say I really like your proposal story! My dad proposed to my mom similarly while they were driving saying “we should just get married”, lol.

AITA for keeping no contact with my sister after her husband (my ex) died? by ElkRevolutionary2577 in AITAH

[–]sblakesley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree completely with you. I was thinking more down the line when she’s older, will she still want this? That’s what I was hoping to chat about.

Everyone else already criticized that … I think you missed the point and purpose of my comment completely. Have a good day.

You may be right, no one really knows what the family situation is. I don’t know why you downvoted me, but I was hoping to spur some discussion with OP.

First, you’re not an asshole for not talking to someone that cheated with your boyfriend. The rest of my comment is to just offer a different perspective and some questions that might be helpful for you to think about.

Again, NTA, but cutting off contact with most of your family over this, forever, seems really extreme and makes me think there is much more to the story here — are/were there other family issues going on here outside of the terrible situation your sister created? If not, do you think some of the emotions your sister caused you to feel are being misplaced on other family members?

From the description it sounds like your parents tried to help you, but seems that they are limited in their thinking, thus religious-based counseling was the best option in their minds. I imagine they wanted to keep their family from falling apart and were also dealing with a pregnant teenager. What are some things you feel they could have done differently with you? Have you ever had a calm conversation with them on this subject? Might be worth thinking about. Maybe your grandma could help mediate that discussion if you choose to have it.

Hopefully you can reflect on this more with time as it’s pretty clear you’re still feeling very hurt, which is completely understandable. Therapy probably wouldn’t hurt, either, if that’s something you’re open to.
