    Adult ADD - any sufferers here?

    I've got it bad. I've been on and off medication for it for the past 21 years. At the urging of my long suffering wife, I'm back on the pills. I'd only taken ritalin before (except for an experiment with some non stimulant that went terribly) but now I'm on a new variation of Adderall. I...

    Went shooting for the first time today

    I'm gonna put in another vote for a Ruger 10/22. IMHO it's the finest mass produced 22 rifle ever. Very accurate right out of the box, cheap to shoot, cheap to buy...looks pretty nice too. It was the first gun I shot as a kid, my dad handed it on to me when I moved out, and I still shoot it a...

    Is it wrong to think you're unattractive?

    How about this: Since your wife says she doesn't find you attractive, go back to shaving your head if it makes you happy. Also, grow a beard. A big, gnarly one. Nothing goes with a shaved head like a manly beard, and it'll make you look more virile and...manly. Maybe start doing some...

    Is it wrong to think you're unattractive?

    Do you mean that in addition to your issues at home with the wife, you are also trying to meet ladies through online dating?

    Honda accord transmission blues...

    You absolutely need to have that code diagnosed and repaired before considering any kind of other repair. Maybe look for an independent import shop, some place familiar with Hondas.

    Ever been trapped under Bench Press without spotter?

    Never trapped, but I've had to set the bar down on the lower "ledges" or whatever you call them, about halfway up.

    When your favorite band/s lost it

    What? Snakes for the Divine was absolutely immense. MAYBE just MAYBE a little more "produced" sounding than their other efforts. But come on that album absolutely smashes your head in.

    Bad fretwork on American Standard Jazz

    I was at the local guitar store today and picked up a brand new American Standard Jazz bass. Man did it have bad fret finishing! Felt like a cheese grater on both sides of the neck, every last one would catch your finger. I was pretty shocked. Other than that it played great. The Squier VM...

    Guitarist selecting first Bass

    I'm a guitarist with my first bass. I've got an SX precision bass with P-J pickups. In the store, I liked the J bass neck more, being narrow and all. Never tried a shorter scale bass. Anyway, now I'm completely comfortable with my knockoff P-bass. Feels absolutely natural and a good fit for...

    Show off your bass room

    WOW, most of these rooms put mine to shame. Here's mine. Not pictured is my bass, at the shop getting a new nut and full setup. Link Removed

    Bourbon...

    For my cheap have-on-hand-at-all-times stuff it's definitely Evan Williams. Not bad at all. Maker's Mark is one of my favorites but lately I've been drinking Bulleit which I think is very tasty.
