> [@Seanette](#): > > Which do you like better? 😃 Almost every guitar and bass I have ever owned has been black but I keep the page with the pearl white one open and refreshed all the time. I think I am leaning toward it. Lost the last one due to indecision, don’t want that to happen again. BTW I am talking about a 30yo instrument. **Jim** ---

I’ll take “first on Two” as consolation for being usurped as starter. ---

\*\*\*\*Gloss Black \*\*\*\*but I like darker colors. I think it comes from my newspaper delivery days when everything I came in contact with got covered in ink. So no gallstones? \*\* Bobbio\*\* I hope they find out what it really is soon. The girl next door showed up for the key this afternoon, she had a hard time with the surgery and was extremely ill. So she is back and I am done with the beasties for now. I know this is so childish of me but every time the HFH walks past me she makes a face and waves her fingers under her nose and sometimes will even say _something stinks in here_. I know I need to ignore her but lately I just want to pick up the nearest heavy object and bash her over the head with it. I really don’t know how to deal with an adult that acts like a 2 year old. Her other latest thing is to stand where she knows I need to go - like if I am putting the dog out she will stand to block the back door, or if I am carrying laundry she will block the basement door. I’ll roll my eyes and my mother will say well you could say _excuse me_. I really don’t know how to deal with the bullshit. I know it’s my fault for letting the little cunt annoy me but damn if I don’t want to slap the smirk off her face. ---

Next time she blocks the basement door, push her down the steps. Then say “oops! I didn’t see you there.” ---

Happy Toosday! It’s a nice cool 52 degrees today with a projected high of 68. I love this weather we are having. I’m up too early because Sah-dog was doing the toe-nail tsp dance next to my head. He wanted to go out. I’m not going to stay up, but I do enjoy being up while everyone else is still asleep. Today is laundry day - yuk, and pizza day - I’d like to switch to Chinese but it’s always been Sah-son’s day so we will have pizza. Or maybe I’ll splurge this week and do both. Hey **RavenThief** I’m sure somebody more creative will come by to give you a cool nickname. Are you a raven that steals or a person who steals ravens. We could call you Poe. **Flytrap** , this is true but all things considered i doubt I could convince anyone it was an _accident_. ---

In news that isn’t new, my throat hurts. In news that is new, it hurts worse than it did yesterday and woke me up at 3 a.m. Because I am a glutton for punishment I am going to school today but on my way I will call and see if I can get into the doctor this afternoon sometime. I really do have to go because tomorrow is my midterm and I have to make sure that I am ready for it. I feel like I should just resign myself to being sick forever. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dont-tell-me-im-the-mmp-starter/669500.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dont-tell-me-im-the-mmp-starter/669500.md?page=4)
