Nothing is an acceptable priority unless it is them, or what they want.

Amish teats sounded good till I lived in Kentucky. There was a sort of a farmer's market/flea market every Saturday next to the small Walmart in town. Well this Amish guy had pies and treats on his horse pulled like truck bed, directly behind the horses' arses and you know what is under the horse. Well flies going from shite to pie changed me from ever wanting Amish anything....
I also saw a Mennonite family shopping there one time and one of the boys was Asian. All I could think of was, MEffer, imagine all the rich people adopting kids, and this poor kid gets adopted into a hard working religious life. Talk about pulling the short straw.
The locals did tell me the Amish grow and sell the best weed.
Another local guy was celebrating his fiftieth birthday by burning a bunch of weed in the window sill with a fan blowing because he wanted everyone in the party high. Yeah he burned his house down and got busted. I still miss Kentucky though.

That's probably the last thing I'd want as a gift. It's jam, jam that nobody bothered to sweeten.
LMAO
Pretty sure I am getting the EHX Pitch Fork. It has an expression in but I never had an expression pedal. Are the boss ones decent or is there a brand you all dig? I figure Micah will like getting all Whammy with it while I play.
Also Prymaxe is having the 20 percent off pedals sale again in case anyone is treating themselves for Christmas.

It's the bass version of the EGC500, which is modeled after the old TB500 (Travis Bean) guitars. I don't think he's made many basses with this shape. I saw the Yob bass and fell in love with the body shape.
That's a nice deal on that 300T. If it was local I'd probably be moving money around right now.
Hang in there man, I feel ya. Sometimes I'm glad my dad hates me so much to the point where he pretends I don't exist, because it means I don't have to deal with his bs ever. Granted I'd rather have a normal relationship with him, but I think we're past that point. I think it has been a good 5+ years since he's said a full sentence to me? Didn't come to my wedding despite being invited and my mom had to come by herself.
Have plans to go up and visit at my parents' house one night for xmas so I can see my dad's family that still likes me. My dad will do what he always does when I'm in attendance at a family gathering, find the best possible seat where he doesn't have to make eye contact with me and pretend I'm not actually there until I leave. I've been with my wife for 6+ years and I don't think he's ever actually said a word to her.
That sucks. My dad hated my ex wife (contributing to our issues), and has pretty much hated everyone I have been with. He pretty much just hates/looks down on everyone.
I wouldnt have started talking to him again, but my grandma asked me that I resolve things with him before she passed. Old bird has hung on for 6 more years. As sad as I will be to see her go at some point, it will be the last day I deal with my dad.
Hey, this is pretty cool. Kind of like Franz Ferdinand made a fuzz rock record.
Reminds me of when my Grandma stopped my brother and I from tuning up my Uncle when I caught him red-handed going through her purse, she even had a special hiding place as he did it before on many occasions. He was hiding behind her saying no I wasn't, no I wasn't. It was her youngest and she was begging us boys, please don't do this, just let him go I know what he did and she told him to leave quick. We got our revenge years later, he said the wrong thing to my brother at a bar and my brother tuned him up proper. And when he got arrested, my two cousins work at the county jail, and how do I say this PC, well when do I ever say something PC, they made sure he was the only white guy on the black block, payback is a bitch as they say.
What a dick. Pay no mind, you're a hard worker and a good person man. I know the feeling, so does my wife, at some point you have to just blow them off and be your own adult, if they're not on board with what you have to offer. Thankfully my old man has softened a bit in his old age, especially now that I have a kid and he can focus on that, but I keep him at arm's length emotionally and don't have anything wrapped up in his opinion or approval anymore. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view.
Just pisses me off, realizing that I have been more emotionally mature and responsible than my collective parents for the past 20 years.
+1, I am even more thankful for my family past and present now after hearing what you gents have gone through.
