2 soldering irons works too. Clumsy but works
And even back then you were looking at women's shoes...
I’m forever looking at women’s shoes but they have to have some beautiful, sexy well manicured women’s feet in them. Open toed, strappy numbers are best and no cankles.

For me it ain't about snobbery. I just really don't care for pales, lagers, or pilsners. I don't like the taste, the (what I consider to be) excessive carbonation, or the way they make me feel. If I'm drinking a lighter beer, it's typically Newcastle Brown (more bubbly than I'd like, but good brown beer flavor without the brown beer "weight"). My go-to is Guinness. These aren't particularly inexpensive beers, so I don't get to drink them often, and that's not a bad thing either. When others are sittin' around "havin' a cool one"... I'll usually opt for iced tea & vodka
Stouts and Pilsners used to be on my ‘no’ list but I got curious about why I didn’t enjoy them and challenged myself to drink them every now and again, trying to drink different brands, etc... and now I’m a big fan of both styles. I try to be open to all styles and give them a chance once in awhile.
I used to hate olives but after trying them once in awhile, I like them now. Our tastes and preferences are not static, they are fluid.
Not all pale ales, lagers and pilsners are highly carbonated. I’ve never heard anyone refer to a New Castle as a light beer, a sugar bomb.. maybe. Have fun and an open mind and you’ll be surprised by what you may like!
I’ve been low carb for 4 years, dropped 70 pounds, reversed my high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I feel and look better than I did in my 20’s. My doctor no longer threatens me with statins. It works for me, maybe not for everyone but it’s worth a shot. At the very least, try to stop eating processed foods. If your ancestors from 300 years ago wouldn’t recognize it as food, don’t eat it. If the ingredient list reads like a chemistry lab, don’t eat it...
For me, if it doesn't have microwave directions, back on the shelf.
This may have been asked already but as I was gigging last night, but bridge pickup unscrewed itself and wound up interfering with my e string in the next to last song. I frantically screwed it back down with my thumb and finished the set. Anybody else had this problem, or a solution? It's a 2013 NR Thunderbird, btw.
Oh... I'm no stranger to a large variety of different beers. I enjoy trying different ones when the opportunity presents itself, but when money's tight, and beer's a "treat"... I tend to go with a proven pleasure

No, I have not had that happen. What a pain! I would expect the usual toothpick trick to work. Or if the screw was into metal for some reason, Lock-Tite.
I miei genitori sono venuti negli Stati Uniti nel 1967. Mio padre non ha accento, ma mia madre ha ancora i suoi ma il loro Inglese è molto buono. Sono andati al college e si sono laureati con 2 anni di laurea.
Parliamo quasi sempre Inglese ora, ma ogni tanto mia madre passa all'Italiano ed è carina.
2 thoughts. I check fittings(not as often as I should)and tighten loose stuff. For the one that got loose, break the tip off of a wood toothpick-I'm talking maybe a 16th"-put that in the hole and re insert the screw. Usually works.
I have been able to test out a LOT of craft beers since I started my "new" job 2 1/2 years ago. We work close to a lot of microbreweries or bars that sell a wide variety of craft brews from all over the country so the selection can be overwhelming. Some are fantastic, some are good, some are meh, and some flat out suck. (Thank God they let you sample them in most places before you order) I have been able to try a lot of styles that I would never have tried if i had to buy a 6 pack of them and it has opened my eyes to new tastes. I like to try new foods and beers to broaden my horizons because I get bored with the same old same old quickly. I can drink pretty much any beer when hanging with people, but when I am buying a beer its going to be something I like, not just something thats "available". At one local club all beer costs the same whether its PBR or craft beer. No way am I over paying for PBR or Miller when I can get something that tastes better and has a higher alcohol content for the same price. Call me a beer snob if you want. I don't care.
God that made me laugh, what a nutter he was/is, I can just imagine his gran asking "what the feck is that?"
Eeeeeeeee pet, I divvint knaar why yiz aall done up like dracula....
That' what I'da said

Exactly right!
When I first tried a stout-a Very famous one- I was "nope". Now my favorites are stouts(Innis & Gunn Irish Whisky Aged and Guinness Extra Stout)
. Go figure.@Christine, speaking of Geordies, we're currently getting done 0-1 by West Brom -- bastards.
I'll try the toothpick thing, thanks! I have never had a pickup unscrew itself on any of my other basses though, or have any screw come loose for that matter. I find it odd. Is it a thing with Thunderbirds?
At tonight's gig, I'll have Yeungling. Why? They're free
