I didn't notice how extreme it was until today when I looked at it as a whole and went "whoa".
The neck is nothing special, but it is the original one ...I might buy a Squier something if it pops up for super cheaps on Craigslist.

What type of neck is it?
What type of adjuster nut is it?
What is the air speed of a african swallow carrying a coconut?

It's the neck of my Hondo P-stein. It's wide like the P-style generally is...I haven't measured it or anything though.
It adjusts with a hex wrench at the headstock, but none of mine fit it correctly anymore because it seems to have rounded off. I probably was not using quite the correct size wrench this whole time.
88 MPH?

I haz a 80's hondo P neck.... finish on the headstock is a little fucked up and it just needs a new nut...

Buying the wrong shit gets expensive... fast.

A huge hot rock off my splff just fell inside my shirt, burnt armpit and chest hurts like a mother fucker.

I'm starting to introduce fists into my vocabulary.

I can't even be fucked with replying to half the retards I encounter day to day...

Whether it be randomly threatening me on the street (used to avoid confrontation but I don't even reason anymore... just swing), to fucking my order for the UMPTEENTH time (made worse when I notice it's a certain shift who does it... and typi... /racism;)) to being an absolute knob-jockey who CANNOT speak English whilst being one of the head GP's at our local medical clinic. Fucking AWESOME times man, awesome awesome TIMEsss!!11 Please take note English is my SECOND language and although it might not seem like it at times I do know how to speak and understand it. My dad can't speak dick all, whereas my mother was fluent, so I do understand where I am coming from with that too. And yes; it's fucking disrespectful to those who have taken the time/effort/etc. that when I go to a doctors for diarrhea I'm not prescribed pain killers so as to give me constipation and be happy with the fucking result.

It's all good so long as everyone has 52" lcd screens, dem bitches and big wheelz....

Ok, so I work with food, right. And I've been chucking my guts up all morning, so is it that wrong for me to call in sick and not bring my flu ridden ass to the deli? I know it's the busiest day of the week, but damn if customers saw me as I am right now behind the counter they'd never come back. I'm suddenly very glad I'm quitting that job.

In related news I was just vomiting half my guts out while getting rid of the rest via diarrhea. It's something you think about, but I think this is the first time I've ever actually done both simultaneously. I always figured it just wasn't possible like sneezing while keeping your eyes open.

Ugh. I feel like my insides should be served at a Denny's at four in the morning.

My mouth tastes like thrown up phlegm, or as I call it: pucus.

I just realized my weekend was more fun being sick in bed than it usually is (work then wasting money in townie bars).

This word has careened into my lexicon at mach-5. I love it.

My wife of 7 years (who I've been with for nearly 12) has been cheating on me with one of my closest friends who also happens to have been the singer in my last 2 bands. I just recently found out about all of this and I'm now going through a divorce. He's also a married man with 2 young children. Luckily, my wife and I don't have any kids.

I was totally in love with her and saw myself having kids, growing old and dying with her....and now I'm going through the pain of falling out of love with someone who's been my constant companion for nearly 12 of my 30 years on this earth.

Now I've got no wife, no job, no house and no band. I had no real option other than to leave my beloved city of Raleigh and move back in with my parents for the first time since before I graduated high school in '99.

The funny thing is, I have ZERO regrets and wouldn't change a thing. All of this has taught me a lot about myself and who my real friends are. I have a newfound sense of purpose and look forward to getting a new band together and starting my life over. I also look forward to meeting someone new someday. Thank you for having read this if you actually did.....this is what this thread is for isn't it?

You betch'a buddy I'm really inspired by your optimism. It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong, you're taking the high road, and picking up the pieces. I know you've got nearly 10 years on me, but I can relate in a tangential way. Sometimes you've just got to tear everything down(or let it go) in the name of new opportunities.

Seriously, ILF has been a better support-group lately than my actual online support-group

Oof. That's pretty heavy man. It sounds like you're moving in the right direction with the right attitude though.
