    The Official Guitar Thread

    Been working on my pedal steel sound out of my telecaster. I think I'm going to try to drop down string size from 10's to 9's. Lot of bends which I normally don't do a lot of of. Lot of full and half steps. The biggest improvement would come from more practice but we'll see. Of course if I had...

    I think I said, that's probably not a woman. She no longer reads my stuff and post for me. If anything happens she's quick to point out "Got that from FoH huh?" She said that when I joked I was looking up prices for a nude maid. "Got that from FoH huh?".

    Got to keep my priorities right. I'm pretty sure she wanted me to go off more on Mist. "That' woman has issues" is what she said. I put her on ignore because my wife got tired of reading what she posted lol.

    What are your Top 10 games on Steam by Playtime?

    It used to be Everquest when I played with the FoH guild. I left it on all the time. I removed it eventually from my library so I don't know how long it actually was.

    Yeah I have multiple issues myself and I take magnesium everyday to help with the intestinal problems. It's not a big deal. I do this from time to time. Today was the first day I noticed I felt much better with lack of sleep. Normally I'm dragging ass. I really do not have a regular schedule and...

    Man that sounds like a rough life so far @Anomander Rake. I'm not too worried about life expectency. I don't want to go cuckoo for cocoa puffs. I feel great today and got out and walked around for quite a while in the sun. Maybe I'll go two days without sleep more often.

    I wish there was a move back to 20% down payment requirement. I loved it. You instantly had enough in your home if you lost your job the next day you could at least unload it. Take a pretty big haircut. This comes from seeing the early 80's petrochemical bust in Houston and New Orleans when I...

    Friend of mine right before the downturn hit bought a house. He got approved for X amount of a loan. The house had to be X. 99.5% of X wouldn't do. I never understood that. If you live in certain places there are numerous houses for sale, but very little rentals. It's either buy or go elsewhere...

    @Anomander Rake that sounds really rough. You seem pretty upbeat about it. Here's hoping for the best for you. My dumb question of the day is can you get into serious issues with lack of sleep. I'm going on between 36 and 48 hours now with no sleep. I used to do it quite often working at home...

    Poll How much did you change over time, got older?

    High school still pretty fuzzy. Elementary and middle school pretty clear. I changed my name on my facebook page and I got a few friends request from that time period. Been so long ago I forgot I changed from using my middle name to first name.

    Poll How much did you change over time, got older?

    I had a pretty large chunk of high school come back. I was talking to a girl I rode the bus with. I remembered her pretty well just because we rode the bus together. We talked for quite a while. She mentioned some names and things and it kind of came back over a days delay. She had started out...

    I use math all day in work. I like math I can see and feel. Algebra for the sake of solving for the sake of solving did not appeal to me. I failed the first Algebra I took.

    I never offer investing advice. If I did don't take it. I normally only have invested in companies I understand how their market and how they make money works. Which really limits the number of things I can invest in. A few times I have invested in some much smaller companies if I knew how...

    Wife asked what I was doing while we're in different towns. "Looking up how much a nude maid would cost". My wife lets me get away with a tremendous amount. Having a nude maid clean house while she's at work and I am not, is not one of them apparently. At one point she had to type my responses...

    I'm afraid to ask. I wouldn't even know where to find a naked maid. I had a maid. I most definitely did not want to see her naked. Another note. Girlfriend and I were together almost 20 years. We lived together for that most of the time, but had periods I was off working or she was visiting...

    I used to refer my wife, then girlfriend as a neat freak. It kind of annoyed me when she would be at my house, sit down and let's be together and relax. Nope gotta clean. She has over time relaxed that a lot. It probably still bugs her though. She had a schedule and I was more of get it all done...

    We were/are good at putting up stuff and keeping it organized. I only wanted someone to do actual cleaning every so often. Not weekly. With no kids it really wasn't that bad.

    We split the house up for each persons responsibility. At my house I did it all. She sometimes would get into a deep cleaning mode while there. There were certain things off limits like my office and reloading room. The rest was ok. Now we're together in her house nearly everything for me is...

    I wrote a gigantic post. I took it out. Extreme foginess is the best way to describe I guess. I have memories. I have names of people. Connecting them together has been where the fog is. I've talking to a few people I knew then that have helped make some connections. One woman I talked to for 2...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Saw this concert tour at a different location. He died a year later. This song is a great cover of the song. He told a guy in the audience "I can't get up and walk over there, but if you come here I'll still kick your ass".

    I talked to a lot of people. It's slowly coming back. Until I got out of high school I was much more social. Much more. Several people have state I was the center of the large group of us. I was voted in the senior yearbook most likely to run for office. That sounds nothing like me. I messaged...

    Our similarities from 20 years ago were we wanted away from people. She was a gigantic fan of me living 40 miles from town. She wound up living in Austin when I kept the property and house in the middle of nowhere. It worked out. I have no idea why. I have told her she wanted to get away from...
