car was parked at the airport. left em a note on the windshield that said, YA MAR YA MAR YA MAR YA MAR YA NO GOOD PA.

i would love your personal perspectives and experience with how having children — or not — has increased or decreased your net worth and affected your fire goals and timeline. i am considering foregoing them for a lot of reasons, but $$ is high up there. or is my assumption a fallacy that kids cost you a lot of money?

at the end of Page’s solo, where Trey comes back in really fast playing what sound like 32nd or 64th notes, right before the lyrical guitar solo section. is there some term for what he‘s doing or explanation of how he’s making that sound? It’s one of my favorite parts of Lizards.

when I’m out running in the heat I’m genuinely torn between rock-hopping to avoid water at crossings and just plunging in. I love having cool feet, and the shoes and socks usually dry out within a couple hours.

but I want to know if getting the shoes soaked affects their support/cushion or shortens their life. anyone know?

sometimes I want a drink, and I’d like to go to AA meetings to try to deal with that urge. but I don’t really consider myself an alcoholic and haven’t drunk to excess since high school more than 25 years ago when I did drink too much and had to be stopped by my parents. still, that desire pops up sometimes. I had a glass of wine the other day and I now wonder if it was bc of my latent drinking problem.

would I be allowed into a meeting w this background? Do I have to talk and confess that I’m not that much of an alcoholic? Will they kick me out If I say all this?

A lot of the shirts I've seen at shows or other places are made of heavy cotton, and sized pretty large. Anyone have any links to T-shirts that use a much lighter cotton? similar to what American Apparel shirts used to be like, if anyone remembers.

I’m fairly torn and they seem really similar so I’d love to know what is tipping the scales for people between Bennet and Phil.

I’m still kind of saddened/baffled about how it just disintegrated. it was a Boulder institution — a vibrant studio for decades that had a huge and devoted community, and then Richard and Mary turned it over to one of their students, who seems to have just closed it down post Covid after hitting some landlord problems and peaced out. Like WTF. Did they just not feel any sense of community obligation? what happened and what became of that whole community? just….scattered?

I LOVE the moment when a beastly dark jam clears off and the sun comes out again. my two faves have to be:

Mike’s Song, Gorge 98

Carini Amsterdam 97

curious if others clock this.

we adopted a very scared and high-strung stray. my wife was the one who visited her, pet her and cooed at her while she was still at the shelter, and she sat with the cat when we first brought her home. meanwhile, I’m the one crams her into the carrier for her trips to the vet.

3 years later, the cat only sits on my wife’s lap and only sleeps with her. she hides when it’s just her and me in the house. she will play with me and let me scratch her, but I’m persona non grata if my wife isn’t around. I feed her every morning, give her treats, play with her, etc.

what can I do to get her to warm up to me?

So I'm making some stir-fried veggies and noodles, and I find it difficult to integrate the two. I par-cook the vegetables and boil the noodles separately, and when i dump them together in the pan and start shaking them around to finish cooking them, I often end up with a heap of mostly veggies one one side of my pan and a clump of noddles on the other, instead of vegetables evenly distribute among the noodles. Help!

would love some thoughts on how their playing or jams or show structure changed — if you think they did at all! — between 94 and 95… and maybe suggestions on representative tracks that show the change.

I've got extremely light facial hair, mostly peach fuzz and a few dozen scraggly dark hairs, mostly on my upper lip and chin. It looks disgusting to grow them out, so I never will unless I get stranded on a desert island. It's annoying to shave, so I was thinking about laser removal. Anyone able to report your experiences with it, good or bad? Does it leave any marks?

I have a 400-foot deep artesian well in granitic Colorado mountains rock. It has decent recharge, about 9 gallons a minute.

but I don’t really understand the finer points of where the water is coming from, or how — if — it’s moving in the rock. is it just sitting there in the rock like in a cistern? or is it moving like an underground river? how long has the water been there? Just since last year’s snowmelt? Or thousands of years?

I know this post is just going to come off as complaining, but I’m legitimately trying to get an answer: The city of Boulder put up a bunch of no parking signs along the side of the road on Canyon where everybody parks to go sit by the Creek. But people still park there in droves — it is completely packed today, for example. Has Boulder just decided it is not going to enforce this?

I‘m a straight dude w not much body hair and really don’t like having hairy pits. I’m tempted to shave em. women, would you notice this and would it be a turnoff or a deal breaker in a potential boyfriend?

Going to Trey's Red Rocks show. What are the crowds like? Will there be glowsticks and shrooms and cheering and dancing, or are we expected to actually put some clothes on, get a haircut and behave like adults for once in our goddamned lives?

I’ve been really into my wife ever since a buddy turned me onto her in college. I’ve probably seen her like 500+ times, including awesome venues such as our apartment, our car, and the supermarket.

But I‘d really like to try to get Phish to like her too. Any suggestions for helping the band get into her? they’re newbies when it comes to Linda, so I don‘t want to overwhelm Page and Mike and Trey and Fishman with weird or heavy stuff by, like, her talking in the voice she uses to pretend she’s our cat, or telling the whole saga of the time she got kidney stones. i was thinking they might like to hear about some classic Linda moments, like how she climbed Mount Whitney on 7/3/99 or the awesome cheese dip she made for NYE on 12/31/95.
