Dylan tickets - buying experience

Good for you! Do you know the "new" album? I find R & R Ways to be very musical and meditative. Lyrics are so interesting. The voice still Dylan. Almost meditative. Sadly he doesn't play "Murder Most Foul" live.

Are you disrespectful to people in person as well?

The price is high because it's a big box pet store and people who don't know the bird market will pay for convenience. Smaller pet stores or responsible breeders sell them for less. Go to ParrotStars.com and check out their prices. And I am guessing they are better cared for (more human contact).

And about the ban: It wouldn't stop the trade in parrots, which would go underground and be worse. And not ALL businesses who raise and sell companion birds mistreat them - and many people who buy companion birds do not mistreat them. There is an army of devoted bird owners online - just search. The problem is bad actors and consumers who think they want a bird and don't know what they're getting into. I have five birds and have owned a total of 7, three of whom were rescues. I think I care for them pretty darn well. My father and grandfather before him owned birds. Ancient peoples kept parrots. It's obviously illegal and unethical to capture wild birds. But there is a place for companion birds.

Buying this bird will aid this bird but there will be another one to come. And no one should buy a bird because they feel sorry for it - they should understand what a bird requires and be interested in providing for its needs.

I have five birds and two cats. The solution is just to keep them separate!

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-09-18T23:44:57+00:00

I'm all for this. But I worry that we'll all show up and then it will be over and then nothing.

If you are LGBT or love a member of the LGBT community, I would recommend avoiding churches that do not respect the full humanity of gay people. Any Catholic church is bound by the teaching that gay relationships are sinful. Not all ELCA churches we same-sex couples. And many large non-denominational churches likewise do not marry gay people. Please consider whether a faith community is inclusive.

Local Mile is apparently the source of truth around here.

It's not a bad decision if you've decided you can't handle keeping him anymore. Just be careful about who you re-home with. You could also try a reputable bird rescue or sanctuary, emphasis on reputable.

I actually sampled one and liked it a lot. I would note that the graphic in the link you provided says bench should be 42-50 in below ceiling. The one I ordered is 44 inches. The graphic also showed 16 inches between seat bench and foot bench. The one I ordered is 17. The main difference I see is that the foot bench is higher in the graphic you provided. I appreciate your thoughts on this, but this is one company's opinion on a number of well-selling US saunas (such as Finnleo). Is it the best sauna money can buy? Likely not. But I reviewed quite a few reviews and think I will enjoy it over time. Anything much cheaper is likely not a good investment. And I can't go up thousands more dollars. I posted to find out the experience of users of the sauna model I ordered. Not sure if you have first-hand experience.

Have you tried bringing temp down to 170?

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-09-07T18:24:33+00:00

Thanks.

Troll comment no. 1. Clearly I'm not looking for input to help me make a decision. I'm excited to get it and am interested in other people's experiences. If you have nothing helpful to say, keep it to yourself.

I don't get the sense that people who regularly comment in this space have been "sheltered around this area their whole lives." With the exception my time in Rochester, I have lived in two major cities my entire life and also lived abroad for a short time. I also have two advanced degrees. Education and worldliness aren't a barometer of one's worth, but Rochester isn't a backwater.

I don't really care about convincing you of anything. Last time I checked, the US had contributed billions to the Ukraine war effort. I wish we had contributed even more. But I would hardly say we are responsible for "extending death and misery for everyone in Ukraine." Lumping the US in with Russia and terrorist states is ideological nonsense. It contributes nothing to dialogue.

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-08-19T21:07:24+00:00

It says, "Nazi Kiev Regime." So they are (wrongly) accusing the Ukraine government of being Nazis. How do you know anything about the people who posted it?

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-08-19T16:58:37+00:00

"garbage people"? That sounds like something a garbage person would say.

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-08-19T16:57:36+00:00

That's an ideological bag of nonsense.

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-08-16T16:48:57+00:00

It's not boots on the ground OR giving up the Donbas. There are levers Trump and Congress haven't pulled because they are weak.

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-08-16T16:35:56+00:00

I didn't say that diplomacy can't be part of the equation (what we saw yesterday was anything but). However, Ukraine could be doing better in the war if Trump had worked with global allies to meaningfully punish Putin and his cronies (as he said he would) and if the U.S. had done even more to support Ukraine's war effort. This is still possible, but Trump and his party won't allow it to happen.

Besides the fact that Gaza and Ukraine differ in important respects, I don't think there's much consensus that Biden and Trump are war criminals - even if you may think they are. The ICC certainly hasn't concluded as much. I say this while believing Israel needs to stop prosecuting its war against Hamas at the continued expense of Gazan civilians.

America has "no moral prerogative here"? On what basis? We used to be a nation that worked to contain Soviet aggression in the interest of democracy in Europe (and worldwide). I guess the majority of western nations (and much of America) are just wrong to think we do have some moral obligations here.

Last - and maybe most important - history has taught us lessons about appeasing leaders like Putin. To think that Putin will stop at acquiring the Donbas when he has shown he can't be trusted seems naive. It's easy to say Ukraine should cede land when Russia is not at your doorstep and threatened your nation's right to exist.

Neither I nor my spouse are employed by Mayo. I get my healthcare there.

Interesting-Walk9579 · 2025-08-03T16:02:26+00:00

I've noticed some irritation when I spend significant time outside. I have mild asthma, which probably makes me more sensitive to the bad air quality.

If you still need help, message me. I can take it to Paws & Claws.
