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.

Hmm musicians friend has the one I was looking at for $100 off now with free shipping, not a very expensive guitar to begin with. Might do that instead.

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.

Tour de France called off this year.

Stupid thing about it no different than an actual race. All the drivers communications are open to anyone with a scanner or rent the deals to listen in at races. Lots of people are always listening.

I tried to take a nap yesterday afternoon. Both times my phone went off for a tornado warning. Alert said starting here and moving east. The weather moved out very fast after getting the two messages about 20 minutes apart. 6 people dead in tornadoes about 15 minutes east of here in MS along...

I've been listening to a bunch of reviews. Like I do all the time the more I listen the further I get down the rabbit hole. Trying to decide now if I want to upgrade them at all. I have the nocasters on the MiM tele which I like, and I like the sound of my American standard as is. Of course you...

Read just the other day in a 5 day period Wal Mart sold enough toliet paper that everyone in the country could get 1 roll.

Your one of those people with the platforms for cats to walk around the entire house hanging 2 feet from the ceiling aren't you? Just kidding, looks pretty cool.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the quicker test works and gets sent out faster. Baton Rouge got picked for 2 walk in clinics to do test they said could ID it in <15 minutes.

I talked to her again at my wifes insistence. I hope she gets help. I learned I'm not cut out for listening to smoeones problems, well actually not cut out for listening to her problems.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to file them away for possible future use, for her or anyone else. I no longer need it for her. It's obvious she's is doing it to avoid the husband. She has a multitude of issues and drinking too much is like #5 on the list. It's a shitshow. We talked...

I'll ask her when I talk to her. No idea if they drink together. I do know she is out on the property working and dealing with animals most of the day. She works out each day and then a partial amount of the day she normally lays out in the sun. First comment I made to her about possible...

Apparently people are saying the first thing to go is you oxygen level crashes. This is for home use, people just buying them. I have no idea if that would actually help you any or prove anything. I have one, I use it for heart rate is all.

Oil took a 21% price jump today.

Ordered a set of Fender Nocaster pickups for my American standard tele. I put them in my MiM Tele a while back and really like the sound. I've nearly rebuilt the American now, fret job, new tuners, new pickups now, put a new bridge and saddles way back. Not much left of the original at this...

Someone I know tried to buy an oximeter recently. I guess people are stocking up due to the virus. Sold out and massive price increase for even cheap ones. Oh this might go in the depression thread. Dare I say I got up and felt almost "happy" today for the first time in a very long time.

I only took one day when I started. I'm going back on it I had to get my days and nights turned around first. No use taking it all night. Now at least I take it in the actual morning instead of 10pm when I was getting up.

Started back on the adderall. I did 5mg. Still kind of sleepy but not as bad. Of course I only got 5 hours of sleep last night and I was laying in the sun probably had a large impact on it.

I've only talked to her a limited time. From the sounds of it she starts drinking about 4pm before her husband gets in at 5 and once he's in bed she's done. She's not out socially drinking from the sounds of it. I really have no idea however. She mentioned several times she never leaves the...

Florida. I do not know if she would go out and get help or not to be honest. She's in a bad situation which most probably is not helping. She is married and has two kids and the youngest reaching 18. In with a family business. Just was wondering if there was anywhere else I could point her. I...

Any advice on alcohol? A distant friend has asked me help point them in the right directin. I know nothing about it in the least. I don't drink. Never known anyone with an issue. At least for right now going someplace for help would be off the table. I guess one good thing is they know they have...

They're opening the Bonnet Carre spillway just above New Orleans again. 4 of the last 5 years they've opened it now. Prior to that 10 openings over last 45 years. Mentioned how big of an algae bloom due to the fertilizer the sent out last year. They did say don't come out and watch this year...

Louisiana end of April I think. I don't expect much curve flattening from the people that work that are exempt.

They arrested the preacher in Baton Rouge today. Didn't shut down the church. Misdemeanor counts for disobeying governors soandso orders in the decleration of an emergy or such and organizing people to break the orders by busing them in. I'm not sure he even was taken into custody. Democratic...

A bunch of pass the buck now. More show up and they had two more stories on the news showing bussloads coming in. It magically changed from a black preacher and 90% black people there to all white now. I learned the suburb has a mayor and a police force, news to me. I bet that totals 2 people.

https://www.wafb.com/2020/03/31/central-mayor-asks-pastor-please-stop-holding-services-safety-public/ Been going on for a while. They were bussing people in revival style for at least 2 weeks. Minority church in an almost all white surburb.

10% acceptance rate probably.

I realize contacts are different but medical prescriptions right now seem like they are throwing a large fudge factor in. Pharmacist told me if I was short or it didn't get OK'd from my insurance in time ask them and they would take care of it. My insurance called and told me the day before the...

Futures down. No surprise at this point.

I assume they were dropping some off in New Orleans and other areas and not just 2,000 in BR from MI. https://www.wafb.com/2020/03/28/ford-donates-face-shields-olol-medical-center/

It only lasted a short time, maybe 4 hours on the first one and then 2 hours when I took a pill after that. Then I felt like I had a little extra and not as much fatigue. It may have went away the longer I took them. No idea like I said I'm changing my days and nights around and not having much...

More infected with it at Dow Chemical and Turner industries says their employee was the one at Exxon. This may spread more in the plants and that what will they do, no idea. Enough missing contractors it becomes even harder to shut down stuff. Turner being the biggest contracter...
