I've read where losing weight (no doubt a considerable amount) can help or even eliminate sleep apnea... did you try that? True enough I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I'm not obese according to BMI, but just below. That is going to be remedied. Too many health issues come with extra weight.

Haha... speaking of sleep, I forgot: today I went and picked up a "home sleep study" to check me for sleep apnea. When my wife did it, it was a breathing contraption on her face... but this is a watch linked to a finger probe and chest sensor. So tonite I'll be RECORDED not sleeping well!

Sleep would be nice. I can't remember the last time I had a restful night's sleep. Part of it is that I don't sleep well, but another part is that one of my dogs can't can't make it through the night without either 1)having to pee, 2) having to poop, 3) waking me up just to make sure he gets a...

Wow. I've read stories like that. I have never had an out-of-body experience from meditation, and I'm not sure what I would think of it if I ever did. Thanks for telling your story.

If you want to go back to the source, Buddhism came out of Taoism. Taoism is what I have been studying/practicing for a number of years now.

I play a certain way, using a certain technique you could say. I let the guitar tell me what strings it needs to facilitate that for me. I like a little fight in guitars. My action is higher than most people's. On my 25-1/2" scale guitars I play 10-52. Unless it's a strat type with a bar...

Agree on strings. Altho I will say, Billy G has one of the thickest tones ever, and he plays 8's!! I can't even play a guitar with low action and 9s (anymore). Even on my shredder from my youth (Charvel/Jackson with Floyd Rose), which I used to play 9s on as a kid, has 10s on it now. 10s are...

Yeah, it's that time of year!!!! No escaping it! I love the sound, but it sure would be nice if they could wait until, say, 6:30am ... hell I'd settle for 6am!

That is a bucket list item for me. I don't have many, but that's one of them.

I am, but it's not a big deal to me. I'm certainly not "wowed" by it or anything. I find a meteor storm much more interesting. or a space launch (like the recent Space X ones). I'd rather hike to the top of a mountain and enjoy THAT view than look at a solar eclipse.

I'd like to see a pic of that!

I love reading. I have been a reader all my life. I go through phases tho... I always did alot of my reading before bed, but these days I've been listening to music or sleep stories in an effort to help me fall asleep. I love all genres, autobiography, history, memoir, fiction, anything WWII...

If my DGT were just poly, with a satin finish neck, that would be perfection. If the day comes when I KNOW I'm gonna' keep it forever, I will satin the neck myself.

Sorry, I was speaking of the single cuts specifically, and that was before I realized there are no SE SCs. So when I saw prices of NEW SEs, my brain was comparing them to USED SCs (non-SE)

PRS no longer makes the HB singlecuts right? I only see them used, or unsold new but $$$$. OH: and there never were any SE SCs, right? I've been looking at 339s, and Ibanez, but I think I might like a PRS... but I really prefer the SC to the DC look, especially for hollowbodies. But for PRS...
