What you touch on here is as much his mother's problem as his girlfriend's; if the mother can't be decent (see your hypothetical comment), then why should girlfriend subject herself to that? It's not a "giant elephant," it's a giant baby in the shape of a vindictive mother in law (to OB - this is a comment on the hypothetical here, not your mother or girlfriend).

 

And it's funny you should mention the Christmas/grandmother remark, because in fact my mother skipped out on probably every other Christmas with her mother-in-law. My mother-in-law would make that exact comment, and I always thought the child's equivalent of, "Nice one, asshole."

 

 

Understood but mom wa there first. Doesn't give her the right to be childish but it's probably going to be a whole hell of alot easier for the girlfriend conform temporarily if she cared about her relationship with beehive.

There's no way in hell I will consider getting married without counseling, and without an extensive discussion about what financial planning means to each of us, and to the future "we" us.

Seperate checking accounts are the key to a good marriage. People can sugarcoat all they want, I would estimate at least 90% of all arguments in marriages stem from money. Love comes a lot easier when the bills are paid.

Dump her....

 

Not really, but if she hates your family it will only get worse with time and always be a problem.

Listen to this man. Hate to say it but it won't work if she doesn't come around. She doesn't have to turn into your mom's best friend but if she can't fake smile through a few mandatory visits and functions a year(x-mas, thanksgiving, etc..) it won't work. Look into the future if you will at let's just say a Christmas in 8 years with a giant elephant in the room. "Hi grandkids, wheres your mother, let me guess headache?" I hate when adults can't coexist. Do you really want to mediate this nonsense for the next however many years?

My record player is a complete peice of shit but I think it's on the record. The vinyl is clean and the skip is consistent. It's no big deal I was just wondering if anybody else had the same skip.

Political campaign yard signs. This might actually be my #1, the pain is exponential each month after the election.

But in the forum it just says, "Poll"

Cool?

I'm thinkin "Albert Poon and the Antique Echo Chamber Boys", if thats not it I have no idea.

I think you would get more traffic on this poll if the name was a little more catchy than "poll" lol.

I thought just seeing the word Nickelback would scare people.

Just heard a little skip on IATTBYH, has to be "factory", only second time that one has been played and it looks flawless. Is that possible, audiophiles, anyone, Bueller, Bueller?

The Yardbirds squared

4 hours. No brainer, hope it doesn't rain.

1. People who are conversation "one uppers" (like you tell a story and theirs must top it)

2. Putting on clothes in the bathroom if it is still steamy from the shower

3. Shoes with laces

4. Cat people

5. CSI or any of the other cop shows that are like "that"

6. That Sarah McLachlan Dog abuse comerical

7. Nickelback

8. Perez Hilton

9. Guys who don't open the door for ANYONE (male, female, just show some c-l-a-s-s)

Just letting you know you've inspired a poll in the "someone else's song" forum. By the way I see you are from N.C., are those four Yuengling Lights one the counter in your profile picture...if so be grateful. It's kind of a long drive from here for one of those.

My last vinyl from Amazon (M.O.F.) arrived in good shape but the box could have fit two regular shoe boxes easily. I thought that was a bit ridiculous.

How about when someone(lets just say my wife) puts things like a pizza box in our 13 gallon garbage can....just happened!

My new jackass project manager who is so worried about cost,cost,cost that he's going to cost us a contract. Although he may not be my boss for long because today I told him his "cost" was third on my priority list behind safety of my guys and quality of work. If I can bite my tongue for another year or so he'll likely get fired but he already knows I think he is a moron and its only been 2 1/2 weeks.

^^Agreed, although I prefer all the versions on Ghost, with the exception of Late Greats. I really like the production of all the songs, and haven't heard any live versions that compare to the originals. They were all perfectly captured in the studio recordings. Though HD and Hell is Chrome come close.

We can thank Mr.O'Rourke for that.

There goes 70 bones. I knew I was heading down this path, especially given that I'm listening on the computer right now and sit here floored. Thanks!

GOOD CALL! You'll never get it cheaper, and after all it is four records.

I paid 6 bucks for Vitalogy on vinyl when it came out. I suppose it is up there in price also. That was the last new record album I ever bought.

8 new available, starting at $90.00. says Amazon

It's good you didn't buy two, because they are going for around $80 on ebay now. That huge price we saw was the result of post-RSD madness.

I don't know...The one No Code Vinyl Amazon has available is going for $178.95 and I'm sure they pressed a whole lot more of them than KT.

Who and what the fuck is that at the end of Candyfloss, I don't know either but I've always loved it.

Come on Dave, Give Me a Break.

 

I wish I had a reel to reel tape player. I have access to such things, but I don't own one.

I believe what I'm supposed to say is "one break...comin up" and then leap off an amp showing care not to split my fuchsia sequin pants

I am patiently awaiting A-man's post on this topic.

As am I. Judging from my short period of time on this site and a few profile views of the "Tyrant of Torrent" I'm guessing he's well versed on this subject. That being said I can almost picture his "den" with walls of vinyl filled milk crates,stacks of 8-tracks and perhaps even a reel to reel. Those links aren't foolin me, I'm sure his portfolio is diversified.

I was talking quite a bit about this recently in the "Is The CD Dead?" thread. I mentioned that I have a healthy distrust of computers and related technology. Files go bad or disappear, hard drives crap out, etc. I've been burned by technology too many times over the years to ever trust it 100%. If I buy a CD and don't place a very high value on it - liner notes are inessential or nonexistent, music is so-so, etc. - I don't mind putting it on my hard drive and iPod and reselling it. But it's rare I'll go for an mp3 only acquisition.

That being said, the internet has provided me with countless hours (which could surely be better spent elsewhere ) downloading live shows of favorite artists for free. Gotta like that. Is it all too much? Sure, but I put the iTunes DJ on and let it be my soundtrack if I don't feel like hearing too much from one artist or genre.

I also have been burned by technology to the point that I'm scared to do the file sharing in fear of crashing my computer. As I stated in the "is the cd dead" thread I prefer used(sometimes new) cd's off Amazon. You get the hard copy,case,artwork, liner notes for often less than a typical $9.99 download. I do import everything into Itunes and the cd often never comes out of the case again so it stays mint. I just picked up a Pernice Bros cd for $1.49+ $2.98 shipping. The cd was brand new in plastic. I have never had a single problem with a cd bought through Amazon. File sharing is definately the cheapest but I love throwin on a new cd and scouring the case for info.

On my list of things to do this coming weekend. (The squeak thing just started.)

I'd try WD-40 first.
