    The Official Guitar Thread

    Noise gates don't do it. And the problem is actually the guitar - as soon as you turn up the high ends on the instruments, the whistling starts. I think I'm just screwed.

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Howdy, folks. I have an issue. I do a lot of live sound in a sanctuary. They recently added a magnetic loop for hearing aids. Since then, my bass and electric guitar whistle, and create feedback. Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

    My kids fought over the mussels and clams. They love rice. It helps that they help me prepare food. Some of them are involved with cooking every night, so they see what ingredients are, and how things get made. They're pretty willing to try just about anything, and if they try it, and say...

    Made paella tonight. Spanish rice, prawns, chicken, chorizo, clams, and muscles. Cooked up real good with chicken stock and dry white wine. Smoked paprika for the win.

    I love it. We had a huge dump again last night, and it was so beautiful outside this morning.

    As far as painting goes, remember that preparation is more than half the work. Get the walls and area totally ready to go before starting. Once you actually get going, be patient, and do plenty of backrolling. And as far as tiling goes, starting with a good quality vinyl tile isn't a bad...

    So the only thing holding everyone back here is making a thread with a poll? Is there any chance that people are just over reacting to volunteer mods on a free board forum? Is that what's really holding us back?

    Out of curiosity, to the folks in this thread, would your life seriously improve is Sean wasn't a mod anymore? I mean, would your quality of life genuinely improve, or would you just be denied the possibility of future bitching about Sean? Honest question.

    I very much prefer the vinegar potato salad to the sweet mayo kind, really. Both have their places, though. Hot, summer day - spending the afternoon in the sun - better put a dish with lots of mayo on the table.

    It's remarkable how many petty people there are on this forum, and how long they hold onto stupid little things. Merely an observation. Please, continue everyone.

    Yeah. Mine is six in a month, and we're just getting started with the meds thing. And he just got sick and threw up first morning on Strattera. Sigh. This could be a battle to get adapted to this.

    French fries and mayo combined with kids. That's the main. Everything else is like, "yeah, I might have some of that. After the french fries."

    It was mostly the absolute inability to control himself. He'd be standing in line at school, and he wouldn't want to fool around with the hair of the girl in front of him, but his hands just ended up doing it. He'd get in trouble, he'd feel badly about himself, because he really didn't want to...

    Answer this hypothetical - yelling and potty training

    Well, with my youngest, he was ready to be potty trained, he just wouldn't do it. It got to a ridiculous point, where he was just shitting himself because he was lazy. After one such event, he got a stern (and loud, I'm pretty sure I yelled) talking to, and a small spank. Just a little one...

    We're changing medication for our 5 year old for his ADHD. We're moving to Strattera. It's a non-stimulant, and is supposed to work 24 hours. What he's on now is working - his impulse control is vastly improved during school hours, and he is doing much better. He's learning more, and he's so...
