hi all....
RTS...that quote is a bit harsh. I do think that you teach people how to treat you (as an adult, not as a child). I allow my mother to hurt me. I keep her around so I deserve the pain. I know that and I have acclimated to it. I have put limitations and boundaries around it, I only visit on certain days, I only take 1 call a day, etc. I don't live with her though, so it's easier.

Mastodon, my boy picked up an old Swedish bass guitar and is restoring it. It's a 1964 Hagstrom. Anyhow...I thought of you when he showed it to me. He's ordering original parts from Sweden. Strikes me funny, when I was a kid I wouldn't begin to be able to order parts from anywhere unless I had a paper catalog and a few months to wait. The interwebs is really amazing, isn't it? That I even know someone from Sweden is just crazy.
