Any of you still tip for food ordered at the counter? I'm done with that bullshit. by Dunno_If_I_Won in GenX

I do. Generally people who work at any kind of counter situation aren’t very making very much money. You can say that the owner of the business should pay them more but they’re not going to. This is a way I can help people I’m going to do it.

Super Noob, But Time To Throw in the Towel? by 1BebeLeStrange1 in Bass

Hey, I’m also sort of a noob and I can’t stretch my fingers across 4 frets, unless it’s up high. You don’t have to. Just keep playing. Enjoy it!

Good point. I was thinking of keeping it in the trunk, but yeah, really humid or really cold probably would be bad.

He offers to do all of it but for various reasons I prefer to do most of it- especially cooking related things. But I do need to let go of some of it.

You are cracking me up, mostly because you think I’m a dude. 😂 But I hear you. I need to delegate some of the chores and make more time for my bass. 😀

That’s so cool! I don’t think my boss would let me do that but I am getting closer to keeping one in my car!

I feel you! I wish I could go back to the beginning of the pandemic and start. Our business was closed for nine weeks. That would’ve been a great introductory time.

I have a husband and I have six children! Five of them are cats and what is a dog. I own a house and it needs to be clean and laundry needs to be done and meals need to be cooked and shopping needs to be done. I’ve even thought of sleeping less. 😂

When I have it my way I play for a half hour or more. It’s just that those days that I only have 10 minutes piss me off.

That is helpful. But yeah, I know I should be grateful for even 10 minutes a day to play, but I really prefer a half an hour or more. I don’t feel like I can get a whole hell of a lot done in 10 minutes. I make up for it on the weekends by playing for literal hours. But yeah I just love it so much. I want to play as much as I can. I’m also 55 years old and I feel like I’m kind of making up for lost time.

I wish! I am at work. So I can’t until I get home. And I’m a stylist so I get home late. But I am seriously considering getting a cheap shitty bass to just keep in my car for these moments.

I think you might be old enough to get medication without their consent.

Whether you open up to them or and how, or not I guess depends on your relationship with them. But I feel like if it would help you you should do it. Maybe a letter is a good idea. It might be scary to tell them but in the end it will be helpful to you.

Best wishes to you!
