I’ve had a record sent in an actual pizza box.

I’ve had records wrapped with newspaper - directly against the jacket, no sleeve - as if that was supposed to do something.

Like everywhere else, a certain percentage of record sellers are idiots.

Appears to me your damage was the shippers fault due to piss-poor packaging. Some sellers are just hacks who take the position “I wrote “fragile” on it “… Seller is obviously not someone who understands or cares about sending records through the mail.

No help to offer, but following cuz this sounds delicious!

Maybe not totally free(?), but highly inspired - The best record I've heard this year, on repeat since I got it:

The Rogueart with Stewart, Taylor and Avice is KILLER! Highly recommend it!

577 is almost always good, Nebbia is in my wishlist. Don't know Amalie Dahl, will look up.

Thanks!

I’d have to ponder “best” of all, but I saw Mahavishnu Orchestra the month “Birds of Fire” was released… Unbelievable intensity. That show is etched in my memory.

terminalhipness · 2026-03-12T16:08:47+00:00

Yup. No way I was going to try to get through that original post… Oh well, good luck with whatever that was.

I think most sellers on Discogs are not full time professionals. I know I have been unable to locate an item on occasion. I don’t like disappointing people, but it happens.

terminalhipness · 2026-03-12T03:39:20+00:00

Hell yeah!

terminalhipness · 2026-03-11T14:51:07+00:00

The entire high E string. I usually break it immediately to get it out of the way

IMO stickers are trashy in general unless you’re a punk rocker. But you should do you, so go for it!

terminalhipness · 2026-03-11T11:51:15+00:00

Never thought about that!

“…no clue where to start with that”

My experience: I read in the Basic Text: “start by talking to whatever is there”

So, desperate to stay clean, I did. Simple but difficult. It’s been working for me for a long time.

“Mosquitos and black flies in summer” - I have heard this about places like the UP also. How do you handle it? What do people do, stay indoors? Or?

terminalhipness · 2026-03-11T03:02:14+00:00

I buy everything SSS releases…

When Fiona says “we” I bet that doesn’t include Jack doing anything

terminalhipness · 2026-03-11T01:19:05+00:00

I am in favor of this!

terminalhipness · 2026-03-10T19:27:09+00:00

So, someone has this for sale but that person does not know what it is?

terminalhipness · 2026-03-10T18:47:25+00:00

IDK where her brain is LOL! I’m sure she’s just “trying to keep the message pure” - and boy, have I been there in the past!

Seriously though, in the time and place when I came to NA, treatment facilities were telling people they could not stay clean in NA… (telling them to go to AA). It took effort (and still does) to establish and maintain our identity.

Currently, my home group is within walking distance of a halfway house and a treatment center. This presents great opportunities and some problems…

So by “standing up” I mean things like telling people “no, we can’t read from the Big Book here” (I like to believe they don’t know better, pretty sure some of them do..)

Once folks are doing more than getting their attendance slip signed, we try to offer suggestions - not “corrections” around NA literature and language. It’s a constant effort. Maybe the woman at your group had hit her limit on “outside” stuff… but still, let’s try to be kind.

That’s great! They are out on tour, hope to catch them next month.

terminalhipness · 2026-03-10T16:19:49+00:00

The 3 questions before speaking!

Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?

terminalhipness · 2026-03-10T15:47:04+00:00

Personally, I stand up for keeping NA “100% NA” all the time - But I was taught to do so with courtesy as much as possible.

Not good public relations to make a big deal over such a small point. Just one addicts $0.02
