[QUOTE=fishbulb;16273393]Is it not better for the kids though?[/QUOTE]
idk is raising a child in a subtly hostile environment that ingrains the ideas of poor relationship management better than raising the child in separate homes? i doubt it.

[QUOTE=Permanent Solution;16273388]bad reason to stay in a bad marriage tbh.[/QUOTE]

I agree.


Tbh ever since they've gotten back together, all we do is argue. the past 4 weeks have **** for me. I've been miserable. I actually enjoy going to school because I dont have to be at home surrounded by constant negativity.

Sorry to hear that mate :(

billdrum 04-25-2008 09:05 PM

Enjoy school? Things must be really bad....

Berk 04-25-2008 09:06 PM

yeah bro its all right.

Seriously though, my parents finally divorced when I was a senior in HS...it was more of a relief than anything and I wished they had done it years earlier.

Permanent Solution 04-25-2008 09:10 PM

I'm so glad my parents continue to adore each other; I hold a much less cynical view of marriage than most people I know as a result I think.

Berk 04-25-2008 09:12 PM

its wierd for me to say that i actually want my parents to divorce. My mom was having mad financially troubles on her own while it seemed like my dad was doing awesome for supporting 3 kids and a house and stuff. If they were to split again. it would put her in a wierd place if they did decide to split.

true story, actually. I agree.


such a strange country here, the US.

Undisco Kidd 04-25-2008 10:25 PM

Cool.

[QUOTE=Undisco Kidd;16273606]i always feel left out. my parents love eachother.[/QUOTE]

that puts you into a strange demographic. When you stick someone who has relatively few, minor, problems in an environment where s/he with the worst environment wins, that person will actually search for, if not create, hardships.

just think about that for a moment. usually the kids that come from so-called "perfect" families are the ones who end up with the biggest problems, simply because they don't have problems.

weird, huh?

Chippy569 04-26-2008 01:06 AM

damnit, yesterday (friday) was the day of silence and i completely missed it.

is 28"x14" too big a bass drum? I can get one for $390AU.

i think it depends how you mount your toms. Mounting toms on a 28 would mean nigh on vertical tom angles [unless you are very tall]. but if you play a four piece with the rack tom mounted to the left side of the bass drum it might be more feasible, still, imo, not very comfy, as you would have to have the tom quite a way left of the bass drum.

I know exactly how ya feel. The last 5 years I've wanted my parents to split and go their separate ways. A month ago it finally happened... and as bill said.. what a relief it was.

I also got 2 separate birthday presents this year haha

[QUOTE]is 28"x14" too big a bass drum?[/QUOTE]

Pretty much what gimp fest said. Trying to mount 2 rack toms on top of that would be a pain in the ***, even if they were only 7" or 8" deep.

how is everyone this morning?

[quote=TTTSNB;16271604]That's what I've always said about muffled heads. Slight sustain and overtones help the drum to cut through, honestly.[/quote]
I agree. I love that people rave on about suspension systems and mounts etc, and then put two ply heads on their kits and make threads asking for tuning help. Idiots.

Janeway 04-26-2008 08:15 AM

I'm hungry.

Jezen 04-26-2008 08:20 AM

Does anyone else find that playing music really loud is therapeutic? I'm absolutely exhausted so I'm listening to APC real loud and it feels fantastic. Kinda feels like the subwoofer is massaging my aching legs.

Jezen 04-26-2008 08:26 AM

I love Bjork too.

I listen to SunnO))) White2 as loud as I can for that therapeutic feeling ~_~

TTTSNB 04-26-2008 10:02 AM

^ Great album for that sort of thing. I've found whenever I'm really sick/ tired/ high as hell it sounds amazing, otherwise it bores me.

Janeway 04-26-2008 10:18 AM

I did that with Burzum's [I]Filosofem[/I] and still nodded off a bit...

Chippy569 04-26-2008 11:02 AM

meshuggah puts me to sleep

fishbulb 04-26-2008 11:31 AM

I've never listened to meshuggah, am i missing anything?

Berk 04-26-2008 11:41 AM

to be quite honest, not really.

Janeway 04-26-2008 12:06 PM

I'm hungry again even though I went to Denny's and had oatmeal, hash, sausage, and an English muffin this morning. =/
