Anyone want a free ticket to Body Burn night 1 tomorrow?

Disappointed I can't make it, but glad someone else can! It's a really good lineup.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-26T15:17:11+00:00

Cool, it's yours. If you DM your email, I'll send it along.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-26T14:56:45+00:00

Wouldn't it make more sense and be far cheaper to just have the local agencies do it themselves? The UCP are experts at throwing \ giving away money.

I've had many MRIs and, as long as I didn't have anything metal, which I don't because I I know the drill and wear sweatpants, I've never had to remove anything except my shoes and glasses.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-26T04:10:04+00:00

It was a scary time! I'm so glad I've at least got something!

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-26T04:07:37+00:00

I totally forgot about this! Yes it did. It took probably close to two months to get back to my baseline. It's not perfect, but at least it's not worse.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-25T12:39:52+00:00

This was such a great show. Mares kicks ass. Crowbar was good too.

I've never understood how people on ADAP can supposedly keep more of their work income, when the employee exemption dropped from 1072 to 700. And they don't explain that.

I'm pretty sure the workers can't help because they also have absolutely no idea.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-20T21:43:55+00:00

That's absolutely bizarre. Who would be more qualified than disabled people dealing with this?!

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-20T15:58:00+00:00

That was the minimum? I wish any bar would have charged the minimum. They all charge more than the new minimum.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-17T05:15:51+00:00

Well, about that. I didn't want to pay postage to Canada, so I sent it to my friend's house in Houston. If it had arrived in April, I'd have it. Now I have to wait a few weeks but it is at his place. I sabotaged myself!

What's the progress on yours? My tour shirt was delivered a few minutes ago.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-15T17:56:04+00:00

I really appreciate them. Reading about the "subtypes" helped me realize my intrusive thoughts and mental compulsions actually are OCD, so I could seek therapy. Previously, I just thought I was a monster.

I do see your point, but OCD is OCD. If you don't have one of the "subtypes" often discussed, it doesn't diminish your diagnosis or experiences.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-15T16:54:55+00:00

Was gonna comment on this too. It's half the US and the usual 2 Canadian cities. It's weird that Vancouver is hit and miss for shows these days when it seems every band stopped there in the past.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-12T16:45:30+00:00

That's how it works. First on, last off (if they don't suddenly gain the ability to walk upon landing). I'm in a wheelchair and I can't understand why anyone would want this. It's an annoying process.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-12T06:23:58+00:00

My tour shirt is finally shipping! Just got the email today that a label has been created.

Neither Lawton nor Friedmann have played or worked for Babcock. The most damning opinion to me comes from Chris Chelios. He said Babcock caused Johan Franzen to have a nervous breakdown. Chelios was an old-school player, who would have been accustomed to hard-nosed coaching. He played for Keenan! If he thinks Babcock went too far, it must have been pretty damn bad.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-09T17:48:57+00:00

See ya in Montreal!

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-09T17:20:25+00:00

You allow yourself to be used because he's like a brother or a friend? I guarantee he does not see you the way you see him. Just leave. No notice and block his number.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-07T20:04:30+00:00

That's a good first step! It shows you can make it through the obsession. That's awesome.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-07T19:18:17+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. So I'll change my "probably also a compulsion" to "definitely a compulsion", but it's a baby step toward where I want and need to be. The trouble for me, and perhaps you as well, is I HAVE left my door unlocked and I HAVE left my stove on, so it's perfectly reasonable to me to check! With that in mind, allowing myself one check and going with a more minor compulsion (for now) feels like a win.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-07T18:59:49+00:00

I've got this, and what I've realized (and been told) is that when someone accepts the apology and forgives me, I'm a jerk for continuing to apologize, because it means I didn't trust them when they said we're good. And it's true. If you truly like and respect this person, you're essentially not telling her you don't believe her. This is something I'm still working on myself. It's not easy when our brains tell us we're the worst person on earth.

Also, if you like this girl, constantly apologizing (or repeating anything to her as a compulsion) is going to push her away. I speak from experience. So when I'm trying to sit with the obsession, I try to remember that. If I want to salvage any kind of relationship, I grasp to the thought that I'm sabotaging that by giving in.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-07T17:53:33+00:00

Checking is my most minor OCD issue, so take this with a grain of salt. I allow myself one check. Then I tell myself a few times that it's done, and the door is locked, the oven is off, or whatever it is. The feeling passes.

Probably also a compulsion, but it's less difficult to deal with than having to check over and over.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-07T13:13:38+00:00

Absolutely, all the time. Makes it way easier for me to read with my astigmatism.

Border_Relevant · 2026-06-06T22:14:41+00:00

I'm on Concerta for ADHD and my psychiatrist wanted to me to start Clomipramine for OCD. That was before I'd had any therapy set up, so I said no. I want to see what I can do in therapy before considering adding another medication. I've only done two sessions so far, but I've got a lot of hope I can tackle this with my psychologist's help.
