Get a futon with a stuffed mattress. The longer you have it, the more comfy it gets.

Just don't be reckless with the cigarette... problem solved.

If you're worried and you're blue, why don't you go where fashion sits... poppin' all my zits!

Usually, any nail salon open 24/365 is suspect. First time I heard about it at a casino.

Charge this idiot with arson, too! https://acprimetime.com/tropicana-valentines-day-fire-caused-meth-lab-hotel-room/

But, whoever heard of leftover wine?

You'll enjoy it anytime, even when you're doing time.

Government is a whole other bag of worms. Government needs to start setting priorities before either reducing or increasing taxes. Infrastructure, mental health programs, etc. should be placed above funding public television or other non essentials. Budgeting a government should be like budgeting a household, except on a grand scale. I mean, pay the utility bills before paying to paint the dining room. Pay for mental health services before deciding what to spend on PBS.

I'd appreciate the help, if you know the math. The box interior is 10" front to back, 9.5" top to bottom and 16" side to side. Thanks.

At least that's what it looks like. I can't afford his time. I don't have enough practice in using the saw. The saw is a very recent acquisition. Fortunately, cover grids are available on eBay. That would give the box a more professional look. Also when I acquired the box, it was held together with finishing nails. I reinforced all the joints with #12 x 1.5 inch wood screws. That stops the rattling during drum beats. To avoid splitting the boards, I predrilled the holes for the screws.

There used to be preventive commitment. When someone is visibly that far out of step with society, Doctors and judges should be given back the power to detain him for evaluation and diagnosis.

Three quarter inch plywood, speaker hole cut with jigsaw, bass reflex cut with hole saw.

Glad I waited. Fixed wireless internet is now available in my area. It includes basic TV service, 24mbs internet access and voice telephone for $90 per month. No house wiring, whether cable or phone needed. It's all done through a small dish and a local cell phone tower. Currently, my landline phone costs $68 per month while dial up rounds the figure close to the cost of fixed wireless. So, adding TV service is just as good as free cable when I ditch the landline and dial up... all for better service than dial up. No "low introductory rate" that magically doubles or triples after a few months. It's a pretty straight forward deal. It wasn't available here last year, as far as I recall.

You just did better than I did. What did you use as a hole saw blade? It had to be tough to get such a clean cut through the metal.
-
That could include a bass reflex tube. Now, you're talking.

Do you still listen to music from when you were young

Songs like C'est Si Bon (Eartha Kitt) still catch my attention. It brings me back to when singers didn't scream and musicians knew how to play unplugged instruments. -
Good thinking. Actually, my whole collection is a mixed bag of top rate and tin horn cheap stuff. Because everything has a use.

I'm sure you've heard a few of them, at least. The kind that won't respond below 120 hz and make bass drums sound like somebody is beating a stew pot with a spoon. Try music with compatible instruments. Shamisen Bagpipe Banjo Tambourine Clarinet Flute Violin Erhu Get the picture?

Folks, don't ever try playing vinyl on one of these, unless you intend to destroy the record. It uses a Victrola needle and has a very heavy acoustic pick up... no electronic parts. For all usage intent, it's important to play only 78 rpm records on it. Get some old Ted Weems records and cut a rug at your Roaring Twenties party. Price? Just look for one the doesn't have Mickey Mouse printed on it and you'll save $300. https://m.ebay.com/itm/EARLY-MICKEY-MOUSE-CLUB-RECORD-PLAYER-LIONEL-TOYS-WALT-DISNEY-MOUSEKETEERS/253396067385?hash=item3aff952439:g:UF8AAOSwuxFYyp8J What's a Roaring Twenties party? That's when we all get roaring and act like we're twenty.

Suppose that after completing slot mechanics training, I moved out of janitorial work and went full time as a mechanic? Mechanics are not needed as much as techies who can work on the modern video slots. The leap between the two involves a higher degree of electronic training than for mechanics, who are only trained to diagnose trouble with circuit boards and replace them. Yet, even the very best techies aren't in high demand as casino employees because new slots come with maintenance contracts from the vendors. What does a vendor do? They expect the techies to also be truck drivers, loading dock raustabouts and part time salesmen. What does a vendor pay for all those extras? Is that even worth pursuing?

She's been that way since high school. She won't take antidepressants, she doesn't like trying new things and her pot habit eats up most of her money. She gave up tobacco and alcohol. (It seems her force surpasses mine in the tobacco department) Eventually, one of us in the old Ducktown circle will find something to pull her out of the rut she's in.

As long as you're talking about a pair of 6x9's, speakers aren't really very expensive any more. A decent set of coaxials would only run about seventy bucks.

She seems gloomy all the time.
