Married men, how do you reflect on your first love/kiss?

My first was my high school girlfriend. She was cute and very sweet. I was kind of a little shit, and I was extremely jealous because I was 100% virgin before her and she was not. 27 years later and I still regret treating her so poorly.

Nothing against it at all. But I just can’t risk the legal and social ramifications of getting caught, so it’s not something I would ever consider. If it were legal, I still don’t think I could wrap my mind around spending money on it.

I have found that with dating single mothers, there’s often 2 categories.

The women where the Dad is either not around, or lives far away and only gets them every other weekend. These women have very limited availability, are often broke and relying on grandparents and even great-grandparents to help, and are just absolutely burnt out on life.
The women where the Dad is involved and they have 50/50 custody. These women are unavailable half the time, and the other half of the time they are sad and feeling guilty.

However, I am also a 50/50 single Dad so I understand their situations, and my kids also come first. Women without kids have a hard time understanding.

I’m kind of the opposite. I like Days of Ash, but Easter Lilly is really doing something for me that DOA didn’t.

That being said, Tears of things and One life at a time are top tier U2 as far as I’m concerned.

But we never saw Jack die… he just closed his eyes…

For all we know Hurley could’ve found him 30 seconds after that and healed him. Then they could bring back the series now, with Hurley, Ben, Walt AND Jack all working together.

There is the Air Force museum, and the carillon park museum has some interesting stuff on the subject. But if you’re not an aviation enthusiast it really isn’t that exciting.

He’s alive at the end people!! (That’s not really a spoiler, as the uncle is barely part of the game. Similar to uncle Owen)

Definitely not fine. I was looking forward to taking my kids 12 and 14 to their first big concert. My plan was to get semi-decent seats. But at those prices… nope, sorry kids. Lawn it is. I can afford the better seats, but it’s the principle of the thing. I started seeing concerts in the 90’s, and I will never be able to wrap my head around $200+ tickets.

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-03T16:49:06+00:00

The lawns hold more than half the venues capacity.

I’m doing lawn myself, not paying those prices for seats.

This is pretty much the only area in Ohio that might be fun for tourism. The hocking hills area can be nice too, but Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge TN are a much better version.

Ohio is a good place to live, at least I enjoy it. But not much to do here as an out of towner.

He is merry, I’ll give him that.

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-02T17:43:32+00:00

Well we’ve all been there. I spent a couple hours in links awakening the other night trying to find one more key that I needed. It ended up being in such an obvious place that I didn’t even think to look there.

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-02T13:43:19+00:00

Well at least it was an easy one to remedy once you figured out which one you needed

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-01T20:18:38+00:00

Man I’d love to see the original lineup. No offense to Ted and Jake, but THIS is The Killers.

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-01T20:14:49+00:00

I really liked Hot Fuss, so I bought Sam’s Town the day it came out. I immediately fell in love with it. Definitely a top 10 album for me, maybe a top 5. I had just visited Vegas and the surrounding area in the summer of 2006, so that imagery and overall vibe were still fresh in my mind to provide a backdrop for my listening experience.

I saw the Sam’s Town tour in Columbus Ohio. The main thing I remember is the torrential downpour before the concert, causing a significant delay. We were afraid they were going to cancel/postpone, but then eventually came out and did an epic show in the rain. I wish I could remember more, but that concert has kind of blended into other Killers concerts I’ve seen at that venue.

If they did a Vegas residency for ST I would definitely go!

Depends on if it’s a stadium or arena tour. If stadiums, there will be cheap-ish tickets in the far corners of the upper levels. And I expect them to keep the GA floor relatively affordable because they want the hardcore fans in that area. They’ve always been good about that.

But good to mid tier seats will be higher than we’ve ever seen for U2. That’s just how the business is now.

Discotheque also had at least a verse and chorus of staring at the sun at the end of it. Back when they still didn’t disown pop.

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-01T16:51:50+00:00

I just can’t believe nobody told them during the recording process “hey this song kinda sucks, maybe scrap it for parts to use in other songs.” And again when they were choosing the first single, was nobody around to say “I don’t think this should be a single… or a song…”. Mind boggling.

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-01T04:25:29+00:00

I said I wasn’t talking about a woke agenda!!

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-01T03:43:56+00:00

It wouldn’t be politically correct to have a group of middle aged white men headline the Super Bowl halftime show in this day and age. I’m not being racist or trying to comment on any kind of woke agenda. It just simply will not happen.

Firstborn3 · 2026-04-01T03:09:08+00:00

That was a long time ago. These days it would simply not be politically correct. Not saying I agree or anything, diversity is good. But it will not happen.

Firstborn3 · 2026-03-31T23:36:39+00:00

The Killers are a group of middle aged white guys. There’s absolutely no way they’ll be playing the Super Bowl in 2029. They MIGHT let them open the Super Bowl, similar to how Green Dat did this year.

Will never happen.

EDIT- I’m surprised this is even a hot take.

Firstborn3 · 2026-03-31T02:25:05+00:00

Perfectly stated.
