CWB Five Flavor Discount

[dave64o]

Sell that baby? NEVER! But I don't have a B string on the Lakland (that's the Dingwall). Still....it makes for an interesting improvement on the WP-Factor when I sit on the cab while I play. It was high at BC when they made me sit on a stool, so at home, it's only getting better.

Doh! I didn't go back and look at the pictures to double check, I was thinking your Lakland was a 55-02. Oh well, I guess my joke about how much you'd be playing that ~33Hz low C failed miserably. Maybe I'll avoid humor and stick to Jacuzzi's and album covers, for a little while, anyway.

BTW, I notice you explained the meaning of "WP-factor" but you never actually defined the acronym. Makes me think my first guess might have been right after all?

FM, I read the PH blog. Hard way to knock down 25 bucks. Funny though.

Poor dog.

Dave, you might want to rework the album title. Plasma Whore or Blood Sucking Vampire Machine or something.

Well... now I HAVE to go back and read the blog...

I had a working theory= "that there are no $8000 dogs--just stupid dog owners with too much money"...guess I have to test the theory now.

What's good player?!

Bourbon day is on the first, so not yet. I'm debating what my alcohol base should be. Jack is too bitter, SoCo is way too sweet, I need a betweener...

WHERE ARE MY ALCOHOL CONNOISSEURS?

I'm partial to Old Granddad, so that's MY answer. Although, I've heard good things about McMasters.

Well, there's a reason I used that album title. A few pages back FM listed some suggestions and, out of the names in her list, the one I used was the one she put the smiley/emoticon next to. I thought that meant she liked that one the most, so how could I deny a lady what she wants, 'specially if that lady is one of our very own CWB's.






Speaking of Plasma Whore, I have to read that blog when I get home tonight!

 

[FurryMonkey]

You suggested the album title, and I just pictured a loud, crunchy rock band backing you up ....

Haha...awesome. Thanks. FM & The Gremlins.

Yeah, it's not the greatest, but $50 bucks a week x's two people ($100/week) = my Spector...and the $3600 I still owe the vet...lol I probably should have paid them off first, but it's not like they're gonna repo the dog.

Read it, and sorry FM...I love dogs, but I'm standing by my theory...I hope the dog is grateful, because if he were mine, he would have been dead a long time ago. I wouldn't ever go in the hole over a pet, that's like depriving my family of their needs in order to stretch out the inevitable...you pretty much know when you get a dog that you are (or should) out live it. If you have it to burn, then there's nothing wrong with doing all of that but to go in debt for thousands? Not me.

Haha...nope. At one point I stopped paying them on a daily basis, and my bill just went up up up, faster than I realized. Not that I would have done anything any differently. If he was a person he would have done it for me.
Jello is the only dog that didn't come from some sort of humane society/rescue/hurricane dog situation. She hypnotized my husband with her gremlin powers. We tried to resisit, but she won in the end.

Well, no one was really deprived of anything. My vet put me on a pay what you can when you can payment plan. He even paid for a few tests himself during the worst of it when I could afford anymore.

A lot of people share a similar opinion, but Stupid is a little harsh, though.

I usually get rescue pets too.

and mmm.. he's not a person, he's a dog. It bothers me when people seem to confuse that and project imaginary feelings there. And I admit, I probably feel like this because my own mother is like that...she'll ignore her grandkids, but anything with the dog is a crisis.

Dogs are not people. If you lived alone with that dog, and died, when he got hungry he would probably eat you. And I'm not talking the CWB way either.

I don't really think you are stupid. I just don't agree with you. I'm not trying to argue or hurt your feelings or anything. I understand you love the dog...sorry if I hurt your feelings

Never. Ever. Way back in CWB part 1 I believe when I was setting up my drinking date with Tat, which I'm sure I missed, we discussed Old Grandad and my distaste for it. OG 100proof straight was the first thing I ever drank, I'm not even sure that Bacon could salvage it.

@THand: What's the best Bourbon for Bacon for Stoner Death Doom Metal <$1000?!

Whatever you steal from the liquor store.

lol...yeah, he probably would eat me, but I'd be cool with that. It's not like I need my body after I'm dead anyway. I'm a fan of recycling.
He's terrified of storms, but will follow me outside if I go out in one to keep me safe, he's the most passive dog you can imagine, but when I brought my son home as a newborn, I laid him down and walked away to get a drink only to hear a deep growl from the other room. I come back to find him laying across my son's legs growling at the bigger dog to 'protect' my son. So I'm not really projecting human emotions on him. Those are just few examples. There are more.
I would never choose the dogs over my family (well maybe my brothers...lol) and if I had walked into the vet and they told me on day one that his treatment would probably end up costing me the price of a new Kia, well, I probably would have let him go. But as it went, the bills just kept adding up one day at a time, one new thing after another, and once it got so bad, it became a choice of a dead dog and a lot of debt, or a live dog and a little more than a lot of debt. You know, like when your gambling, and you just don't know when to quit. When I thought he was going to die, there was a sort of relief that it was all going to be over, but kind of a feeling of failure too. Like he wasn't dying because he was old, he was dying because I didn't care for him as well as I could have. I don't know.
I don't fault you (or anyone else) for disagreeing with me. For sure. I often feel pretty stupid about it myself, to be perfectly honest. And if your intent wasn't to call me stupid, then my feelings are not hurt.

I'll PM you. I don't want Thor to have to give me swats or anything.

I was in Philly from the 30th through the 5th. I'm in Pittsburg from the 21st through the 26th. I thought you said we'd meet in Philly - so you missed me this time. But if it was Pittsburg, we're coming up on that in a little better than a week.

Jeese...now I really feel badly for you. Sounds like things just slipped up on you and snow-balled before you realized it. And, sorry again if I hurt your feelings. BTW, no doubt you have taken plenty good care of him, so don't get down on yourself there.

This is CWB. Spanks would probably be more like it.
