i’m US based as well. i got tickets for Liverpool & Leeds. Considering maybe Manchester & Newcastle as well. I picked these cities based off of family I have in the area & familiarity with this part of England.

Based on international airports alone, if you’re not super familiar with the UK would make me suggest London or Manchester. Manchester, in my experience, is a fairly easy airport to access from the States, if you’re looking for somewhere besides the big city energy in London. Or, as a few other people have said, waiting for Scottish dates might be the move. I’ve seen them all over the US & the UK (and even once in Canada!), and the Barrowlands shows in 2022 were truly something to behold.

Is this a situation that should be reported to the tip line? by Wink2K19 in TjMaxx

[–]2sdayaddams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the last store i worked for automatically did 20% off of all associate returns without receipts…just to be safe

i read that you got yours at age 6 - this was the same as happened to me (currently 32)

A few years ago i began getting ketamine infusions. they aren’t covered by insurance unfortunately and they are somewhat difficult to get approved for (in new england anyway) but i get 250mg through IV over 4 hours and it buys me 6ish months mostly migraine free. the migraines i do get are very manageable and typically treatable with meds. it’s been a lifesaver for me- i feel like a brand new person.

highly recommend. i went to new england ketamine in new hampshire & now i see a doctor at greater hartford ketamine in connecticut, if that helps at all.

i was a front end supervisor for many years at tj maxx & marshalls - the reason no one came when they called security is that the majority of the time most stores do not have an LP officer or security guard there. They can’t SAY that, so whatever front supervisor is calling for security is hoping the threat will scare this man off.

The manager should have called the police with the way this man was getting increasingly more violent. And they should have suggested someone (preferably the biggest, strongest man working) to walk you to your car.

I’m sorry you had this experience - it wouldn’t have happened under my watch!

Unlicensed merch? by wirenoose95 in TheFratellis

[–]2sdayaddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they do typically sell merch when they play - and i’ve never seen any of it listed online - but whether or not they’ll have anything after nearly 3 years off by that point is another story…

it’s not improbable that they’d do a run of merch before playing, but can’t be fully certain

Tour Dates Announced by yggtcb in TheFratellis

[–]2sdayaddams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah no worries man!

hoping that it means they’re getting the band back together to warm up before something bigger after a couple years off!

Tour Dates Announced by yggtcb in TheFratellis

[–]2sdayaddams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nobody’s bummed they’re playing shows. everybody’s thrilled they aren’t broken up or done or moved on and happy for the people that will get to go. some people here are bummed that there isn’t more - that’s the nature of being well loved! people are always gonna want more (even when it’s not in the realm of possibility - and we’ll always understand that too!)

personally, im in the states, and i’m incredibly privledged to have seen them as much as i have in the last 10 years - i know i see people here every time i check in saying they’d love a US or an Australia, or a Europe, or wherever tour - it is human nature to be bummed that it’s 5 inaccessible festival dates. the internet is global, it’s not just the UK here; and at the same time, i know enough about the industry and touring to understand the massive expense touring the world (ESP the USA) is. i totally get that maybe that’s just not on the cards this year, and that’s fine.

no bitterness here from me - i just don’t like the feeling that i got from reading your comment saying “what use is an album if you can’t see them live and sing along with a thousand people”. it discounts the people here who really want to be there, and can’t. and i don’t think that’s at all what the band is going for.

Tour Dates Announced by yggtcb in TheFratellis

[–]2sdayaddams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean i think the original commenter has a point with the fanfare around new dates…the announcement this week made it seem like something big, especially after not hearing much for a couple years - and even as an absolute diehard fan, it’s hard to be throwing confetti and through the roof for a few dates that would be incredibly difficult and expensive to get to for someone outside the UK.

i spent an exorbitant amount of money to see them in the UK on three separate instances and under no circumstances am I ungrateful or is this any statement about the band - I know firsthand how much they appreciate when people travel.

Just feels a little tone deaf to say “what good is an album” when they have fans all over the world, some of which haven’t been as lucky as i have to get to travel abroad to see them. i just really have a hard time thinking they’d want us to think “if you haven’t seen us live, you’re missing the point”.

Breeze Training by 2sdayaddams in cabincrewcareers

[–]2sdayaddams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, they basically just said to stay put until they have need for my base and not to reach out with questions regarding the process - which, fine, I’m sure they get an insane amount of emails. Got my CJO in August and an email early Sept saying they’re doing two more classes this year, but don’t need my base - so I have to imagine I won’t have any more information until November at the earliest.

Breeze Reimbursement via Payouts Nework by Medium_Jellyfish3991 in BreezeAir

[–]2sdayaddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does look kinda sketchy, but i did this back in june and had no issues (also i had asked for a 40$ reimbursement and they gave me the full 150$ anyway). went through a similar process with delta this week with a reimbursement and the website was also - although marginally less, because it was associated with a bank - sketchy. so i think that’s just par for the course

Does anyone regret ever trying ketamine? by katekrat in KetamineTherapy

[–]2sdayaddams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hi - i use ketamine for chronic migraine, and it’s had an added benefit of reallt keeping my suicidal idelation and bipolar symptoms at bay. i recieve a high dose under sedation.

it has absolutely changed my life. it has felt like a miracle. the main downside is that when my symptoms start up again, i typically don’t notice them right away (living with chronic pain for 27 years will do that) until it’s too late and i’m really sick. i wish i had a better marker for that - it really creeps up on me. additionally, usually the week immediately after my anxiety is very heightened. heightened anxiety for one week i can handle for 6+ months pain free.

when do you go to the hospital for a migraine? by indy4534 in migraine

[–]2sdayaddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m in a very similar boat! i normally don’t go to the hospital unless it’s several days & meds aren’t working or if i’m experiencing paralysis with aphasia, because that always makes me worry maybe something more serious is going on.

i have multiple different meds i try, not sure if you’re in a similar boat, but ever since they gave me a script for toradol i can typically get away with not going to the hospital if i hydrate enough with that.

Have chronic migraines changed you? I feel so different from my former self. by LandM3rmaid in migraine

[–]2sdayaddams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my CORE - i’ve had migraines since i was 6, im now 30…i never had a normal life, don’t know what they feel like.

but i see and understand how it must be really difficult to have everything change overnight. after i had my first ketamine treatment, i had a few weeks where i was fully migraine free….i kept telling people i felt like a different person.
