    Very stupid question of the day. I've NEVER even looked at a Les Paul. Are the epiphone les pauls like a studio or standard totally flat top? It's hard to tell from the phots if it's flat with a finish highlight or got a small curve to it. Not that it really matters.

    My example is from the engineering world. Translate from an engineer to the shop which may be a redneck or coon ass and same to the field, and back again. Not a word for word translation, but get the point across in a timely and effective manner, sometimes instantly.

    Worse than I thought. Power here went out for a few minutes was it. Everything in town just minutes away is now closed. Wal mart, all the grocery stores, all the traffic lights are off. Mom went to walmart and they were closed and she said lot of building damage everywhere.

    Made a good living translating between english, redneck and sometimes ebonics from professionals to trades people. You make your language fit your audience if you want to accomplish something. In fact I would say it has been my major skill in business.

    Tornado about 10 miles away in town last night. I don't understand the phone alarms at all. Went off about 11pm. In this part of the country you know when bad weather is hitting. I don't know what they think you are going to do, no basements other than get in a different room. But they have a...

    Depression

    I called and talked to a friend that I had a feeling being stuck inside was going to drive them up the wall. They said "Nope, but thanks I'm OK", the next day they sent me a very very long email detailing all the stuff they had been doing, followed by another one the same day. Found it interesting.

    I thought about it. I like the guitar, not sure on the p90's. If it was humbuckers for that price I would jump on it. They did it a few days ago and it last half the day and then they changed it to a Gretsch for a few hours and then something else. I think they changed colors on the relist.

    It's not easy to shut off production on a well. There's no on/off switch. Oil tankers now are used to store the oil offshore they pumped out of the ground some time back.

    I finally found the answer. Same exact configuration. Only difference is the wood for the body. One was basswood and the other poplar. I still haven't decided. The CV is the new one and is out everywhere, the CM some places still have ones from last year as new. Still thinking. I'll probably...

    Ok thanks. I did an infusion twice before and they had patients doing chemo but they were in one giant room. I got a little small room big enough for 2-3 people to watch TV in and it's own bathroom, but I went on a Sunday and the rest was pretty empty. Just curious what they were doing with the...

    Dumb question time. It's been difficult to search for any answers. I was thinking of getting a squire telecaster with 1 humbucker just for something different to try before I spend any real money on one. They have the Classic Vibe with single coil bridge and humbucker neck. But I guess last year...

    I'm still not sure if I didn't have it already. Mid February when I was still in and out of doctors office and hospitals multiple times a week I got pretty bad off. It felt like someone was beating on my abdomen and arms with a baseball bat. My lymph nodes swole up pretty big and hurt like hell...

    In the business I work in for the most part if you are not required to be on site you get contracted out to someone half a country away and they have to bid for their work.

    I ordered some stuff and it showed a delivery date of a month out if shipped free and I was in no hurry. Few days later got an email that moved the delivery date up. Few days later another email, same thing. Ended up with 3 emails and got it in about 2 weeks.

    I felt really bad for her and talked to a few of our mutual friends without really dropping any info and they said she was acting odd for her. I did some digging in her location. They had a AA deal for the lock in and she agreed to try it. She said she got paired up with someone and at least...

    Eve under a DDOS attack again. Just Wed. they put in a pretty large patch that a lot didn't like. I'm wondering if that triggered it. They reduced across the board all the resist % mods give for shield and armor, I think it was 20%. They did up damage for the closest range weapons by 15% or some...

    Ordered an Epiphone ES 339Pro. I kind of like the idea of it being a little lighter, could use a little less weight while playing now. Never owned anything but several telecasters one after another. Something new anyway and only $400 to play around with.

    I've asked before and people said they had used Reverb with no issues. Did you buy from an individual or a business? I'm not looking to buy a special guitar and there are tons of them wondering if it really made a difference.
