Reply to LPT: when you get a speeding ticket, pay slightly more than the ticketed amount and it will never be sent to your insurance agency. by [deleted]
Say what? What does work a lot is taking it to court and paying court fees and having the ticket dropped. I've done it and know many others who have too. If you have a really bad record it doesn't work though

I bought mine from a guy selling seashells by the seashore. True. :-)
I liked the last shell he sold me with seaweed inside.

From 69-73 they put out some very good albums. They were kind of the leaders of hard rock. IMO the others you mention are not Hard Rock stars, they're rock stars with a wide range of sound. I guess those who followed hard rock, Deep Purple was kind of the original band. I never became a hard rock fan. To me Tull, Zepplin, The Who, The Stones continued to break new ground and grow. While I love Machine Head, I don't think it compares with Zep II, Thick as a Brick, or Who's Next which came out around the same time. Machine Head is the only CD I have of theirs and it is on a very limited play schedule because I only like about 1/2 of it. I need to get Live in Japan at some point, but that would also be in pretty limited play schedule. If I want to listen to heavy rock I listen to Tull, Who, or Zep usually. Those who would turn to AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, etc would probably prefer Deep Purple as that is what their sound sort of became. Hard driving guitar jams.

Am I the only one who sweats while they sleep? I run a dehumidifier in the bedroom to dry out the sheets and mattress so I leave the sheets flipped half back. The difference in feel at night is significant imo. But I think hybrid and foam mattresses are worse for moisture buildup while sleeping than an old school mattress.

Came to say the same. We'd listen to that on car trips regularly.

I was in a motorcycle accident in October and have been unable to walk since then due to my left leg being crushed. I'm in my 60's and the inactivity worries me.

Reply to LPT (Request) - How do you guys get through a 5am-3pm shift? by opaqueism
I did a 5am to 1:30 for about 3 years. (really 1pm because I took my 1/2 hour lunch at the end of the day) If you're not in bed by 10 you're hosed. 10pm to 4am is only 6 hours, although I'd get up at 3:45 and out the door by 4:20. Some days I'd go to bed at 8:30 and I'd shoot for 9pm as latest so I'd get almost 7 hours.
I liked getting up early on my days off. The farmers markets were a lot less busy at 7am which still gave me time to make some tea and other essentials for Saturday morning...
And Sunday morning walks/rides/drives before everyone gets on the road is nice.
Big tip is don't stay up until late on Friday/Saturday or you're hosed for Monday. Yeah, it means hitting the bar during prime time is challenging, and sports events are recorded. I'd still do concerts and stuff on occasion but I'd take Monday's off sometimes too if I was doing a late weekend to get back in the early swing.
