I shut down when my daughter goes to bed as my amp is on the same wall as her bed.  I have been doing this for almost 4 months so I am use to that.  I do like my weekends when I can play earlier in the day  :)]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Don't know how you stand it.  I live alone so I guess I am the dishwasher too, but I HATE playing guitar right after doing the dishes.  I'll just wait an hour or so cause that is the only time playing really hurts for me.  I think its been about 2 months of playing every day now and playing really doesnt hurt anymore.  Other than after dishes like I stated.<br><br>Ohh and yes, I am also a filer.  Hard to keep them skin hangies from plucking strings if I dont file every other day or so.<br><br>Jim]]></content:encoded>

I am the dishwasher at home so I end up doing the dishes alost everynight before I play.  My fingers get sore once and a while if I play 3-4, but my normal 2 no problem and no pealed skin so far.
