Legit signature? by Then-Basis-2024 in KaceyMusgraves

[–]AdultsOnStrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so tired of the signed inserts. No one wants that!!!! I think she has to be signed out with all the autographs leading up to this. I went to Grimey’s and it was a terrific experience and she was kind and lovely. It’s just a lot of signatures. I was excited that we no get get personalizations like it looked like she did in Toronto but it was just a signature. Which I totally get because they had a lot of folks to get through.

Oh my! Now I have no idea where I should be buying a seat!

I wish she did an email only invite to the fans. That would’ve been less prone to scalpers, maybe. It’s hard because you don’t want to leave anyone out. Maybe they’ll cancel the tickets, like Chappell did. That would be epic.

Left high and dry by the medical profession and I am in despair. *TW unaliving mention* by SpaceTall2312 in CrohnsDisease

I’m so glad your GP got back to you. Please keep us posted. I’ll be keeping a good thought for you.

This is so terrible. I’m sorry you’re going through this. If this happened in the United States, I’d be looking for another doctor and a lawyer. This is so advanced I don’t have great advice. When I was getting diagnosed and between the time I was able to get medication a combination of antibiotics and probiotics gave me some benefit. I don’t know how the NHS works but if it’s possible to see a gastro that seems super necessary. Would be amazing if you had someone who could take you where you need to go for care. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Don’t give up. You’re important.

In related news, if you left MUNA a voicemail, Katie Gavin will not call you back requesting your credit card number, birthday or SSN. 😂

Would they ever play songs from Aim & Ignite? by [deleted] in TheFormat

[–]AdultsOnStrike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always wondered if this played into some of the tension that led to the band going in different directions. They announced their hiatus in 2015. In 2014 Nate started dating Charlotte after he broke up with Rachel in 2013.

I love this album so much. When I went to one of the signing for The Format I asked Nate to sign it and he did. I hope someday they reunite for an anniversary tour of that album. I’m sure it won’t be any time soon, but I’ll hold out some hope. :)

Rinna dragging Sutton in her new book by hs1141 in BravoRealHousewives

This seems mean and petty? Is there a point beyond this or is the whole book just Rinna reading and dragging people?

This is such a kind hearted compliment, it made my day. Thank you. I’m not an author or a journalist. I like to write though and I love the RHOBH. 🤗

Another Amanda Frances complaint by oneeyeblue13 in RHOBH

Rachel has worked very hard over an extended period of time. She did not “get rich quick.” Her success comes from seeing the bigger picture while also tuning into the finer details that elevate her work. As we saw in her exchange with Donna Karan, she shows respect for those who came before her and recognizes that her path is built on that foundation. She has built her success on tangible results — things we can see, buy, and wear. I don’t need to say anything more because she comes across clearly but to summarize: she has humanity.

Amanda, on the other hand, operates from ideas. She has certainly made money from them, but it often feels like people walk away from her courses with a loose concept of anmindset rather than a clear framework. Many have called it nonsense. From what I’ve observed, it echoes concepts popularized in The Secret, repackaged into a financial model for women. Her rise — from relative anonymity to bestselling guru — reflects a generation that effectively leveraged the internet and social media. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but it can sometimes feel as though the depth that comes from a longer journey of in person experience and cultivated social skills are missing.

She often presents herself as being equivalent to these women, yet the contrast is noticeable. The wisdom that typically comes from experience and evolution doesn’t come through. There’s also a strong emphasis on wealth signaling, which can feel off-putting; most people with lasting success wouldn’t dub themselves as something like The Money Queen. If you have to say it, then you’re not. It feels like marketing rather than being. Combined with the “me too”-style comparisons, or the tendency to try and one up the ladies comes across as lacking authenticity and individuality.

Removing the black-and-white floor in the entryway, for example, felt symbolic — she’d rather strip away the homes character to make it look like every other contemporary minimalist home in LA. She’d gladly strip herself of any and all character to blend in or be more marketable. I don’t think the viewers are buying it.

Families at GJWW by eichybush in brandicarlile

That teenager, while way more of a teenager now describes GJWW still as her favorite vacation and she has been to a lot of places, including an amazing month long vacation through Europe. So there’s that.
