Finally got my guitars re-stringed

[GitGuy513]

I always take relationship advice from gear forums where all the Casanovas and Dr. Phils hang out.

Who was giving relationship advice?? Statements and advice are quite different.

 

[GitGuy513]

Who knows, I’m now realizing this thread has entered multiple wormholes into realms of silliness unexpected so maybe some of it could be advice or bad science or whatever…

Of course it’s more than this and one must keep the fire kindled, but after a while the thought of having to sift through all the mental and emotional baggage if neither doesn’t want to be alone for the rest of their life is a terrifying prospect. Also, once you start to look like each other and answer each other before the question was asked is a special thing.

Statements or not - yours sounded like great advice to me. If I remember you celebrated 33 years of marriage recently - so you must be doing something right!

@la szum : For the record Casanova didn't have "relationships" per se and Dr. Phil is a moron that isn't even a Dr.

Yep, I knew you are in the 30 year point and would get it. Things are just different when you been with someone that long.

I always take all of my custom vintage guitars (like the '49 Les Paul and the '37 Stratocaster) to the fellas over at Discount Tire when I need the strings rotated and balanced. They seem to know what they're doing, and it only costs me $132 USD for each guitar. Nut Sauce is extra, of course. Then I take them to Guitar Center to get them tuned on their Korg.

How much are you paying in old string disposal fees?

Last guy charged me a couple hundred to send them to the toxic waste dump.

You guys are acting like the schoolyard bully who would pick on the weaker kids in an attempt to look cool. Just saying…

Whoa whoa whoa …

I raise chickens and working dogs.

Hierarchies are quite real in nature, and has very little to do with “attempts to look cool”.

What are you really trying to say? If you’re trying to say “protect the weak and feeble minded ”… then say that.

Well, just suppose that this is not a troll thread. Suppose that there just might people out there that are a little bit different than the rest of the herd. Not different enough to be obvious…

 

[rossipedia]

How about just... "don't be a dick".

(Disclaimer: I have no idea who's saying what in here. I just think as far as rules go, "don't be a dick" is a pretty solid one).

Hey, I’m on the spectrum…

My muse: Dr. Temple Grandin

“Don’t be a dick”… What the hell does that ever really mean to anybody?

“They pissed me off, so they’re a dick.” ???

I think that statement may say more about the easily offended, than the offender.

Ymmv.

For the record I've never seen a thread go off tangent like this in many years. Maybe I should of called it the "G-String" thread as opposed to the "re-string" thread.

Alright nerds, here's me restringing between shows on a double-header weekend. I would have fresh strings for every show

Nothing like the zing of a set of fresh strings.

I would have done the same thing. When you get to be my age, the less wrist twists I have to do, the better.

You are not a complete man until you restring a broken string



In the old times we called that "Poor man's fix". Today we call it "Responsible Sustainable Recycling"

Whatever works the best for you is the way to do it
I’m 62 by the way

The OP has shown in other threads that he has good sense of humor. I believe there's nothing here that we would not say face to face having a good time over a beer
