I've had replacement bridge pins that just fall right out.

as for elixirs...I can't even string my guitar without breaking the high e. as much as i like the no-squeak I get with elixirs, I usually stick with martins or d'addarios because I don't pop them before I've had a chance to use them!

Yep, for really real. I wonder if the hole sizes changed a little on the newer A&L's. Hmm. I know it wasn't a fluke though because I tried on I think three different ones (2 Ami's and a Folk).

I like Elixirs.

I don't like the coated strings at all. They don't feel right to me for some reason. My favorite strings are DRs. They make my Seagull sound sweet. Just not the coated ones.

And I agree with Sabrina, I find the Elixirs very easy to break. Martins are second on my list.

I havent posted a lot about life recently, since the threats. Really, thats been because for the first week after it I would close my arms and dream of nothing but being held by my arm and getting screamed at, about being killed. I think I am finally starting to approach okay again. 3 nights of sleep in a row, and I feel considerably better.

Life has not been fun recently. School is in overdrive.

3 more offers in on houses.

It's good to hear that things are starting to improve there.

I think so. Obviously, I am leaving a lot of this off the boards, but several figures from my past have offered to "help" in ways that I have had to turn down. I won't get real graphic, but I did have a friend of a friend of a friend, through the grapevine offer to put me under protection of several gangs and organizations.

Oddly, those who have been my most tangible supporters in all this are not what I would call the good guys. It has been two bloods who advocated on my behalf. It has been very unsavory characters. There has been a street king who offered his help.


To be honest, I don't know what I should do. At current, I have turned down every offer for intervention except for the police. But the funny thing is, I feel a strong pull to let the underworld take care of the underworld. I guess that is a temptation I have to fight that I thought I was long since past.
The whole situation has just been weird. And I am trying to write a sermon today that I may have to preach for class on Wednesday.

Wow. That's just a really crazy situation, and a tough spot to be in I'm sure. I guess you just have to try to stick with what you know for a fact is right and doesn't leave any doubt. Hm.
I'll pray for you and the situation for sure.

In a lot of ways it has revealed to me how far I have come, and how short a distance I have come.

I'm not sure how much those things normally go for. Our amp is going to be 800ish...

I just made a counter offer on a house. Offer number 8 is at least considering us. I submitted my best and final offer today.

And late this afternoon its status changed to pending sale, so clearly they picked an offer. I do not know if that is me or not.
