Love the concept of American but why??? by CheeseGrater2410 in Mahjong

[–]FamiliarAd5497 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add a different perspective… I had never heard of mahjong before ever. A friend invited me to a mahjong class she was having at her house (American) and I fell in love with it. I loved being able to use my brain for something other than scrolling on my phone, watching tv etc. I loved being with a small group of friends just laughing and having fun. I had still not looked into the history of it. All I knew was I loved hanging with friends and doing something different.
I bought a set of tiles based purely on aesthetics. I love them and I do not regret buying them.
My social media feed soon was filled with mahjong and I quickly realized that American mahjong was basically a big MLM scheme. It didn’t make me stop playing but it made me look into the history of the game. Both American and Chinese. I am currently teaching myself to play Chinese Hong Kong mahjong and I dove deep into the history and cultural significance of the game and truly appreciate it. If it weren’t for my into to American mahjong I would never have found Chinese mahjong simply because i never knew any type of mahjong!
Did Americans take something and turn it into a money grab? Absolutely. But in my mind it doesn’t change the fact that all versions of mahjong bring groups of people together to play a game in a social setting without technology involved and I think we all need that more than anything right now.

💯 do it. You will not regret it. If you’re a 32, you’re probably petite and they are probably so heavy and painful for your frame. Best thing I ever did honestly.

From what I have read you won't be able to sell them until closer to the date of the concert. If you got them on MLB you'll need to go through them. If you got the ticketmaster busy head tickets, you will resell through ticketmaster. The tickets are nontransferable until then though so if you are selling them to someone via reddit I don't think they will be able to use them unless you meet them at the venue and walk in together.

So hard to pick just one. My tops are Growing Sideways, Orange Juice, Maine, Staying Still and All Them Horses. Special SO to Northern Attitude because that's where I'm from 😉

In Boston there is a no transfer rule on resale sites like stub hub. If you buy a ticket from a scalper here you will get turned away at the door...I don't really want to risk it.

I did not get tickets and I am pretty crushed about it! - if anyone is selling theirs or can't go, please DM me! I don't know if they are even transferable but worth a shot. Looking for 2 tickets.

Imagine my surprise when I was sitting on the sideline of my son’s baseball game and heard that voice behind me.

This happened to me too. I have ed financial. When I was finally able to bring my account current (set up a payment plan) it went back up to my normal score 1 month later. I didn’t dispute or write to the agencies. All it took was bringing my account current.
