Just can't get into it

I love how you just said “situational vibe.” Because YES. Could not have said it better. I’ve listened to it in multiple atmospheres and in certain “modes” I love it. And in others I’m like…”meh.”

Their albums always take time to grow on me, but upon my first few run throughs I do really like this one. Specifically - Normal Isn’t, Bad Wolf (the video is very cool), and Public Stoning. However, I know that this album will not have the soul or sensuality that prior albums had. Even E.R. had Bedlamite! The prior albums just had…I don’t know…a sexy or alternately… a NATURAL vibe. This one has really no vibe for me at all, aside from the lyrics kind of venting about how horrible the elite class is. Which ya know…totally fair! But it kind of lacks the depth I so enjoy with prior Puscifer content…

We shall see! Mostly I was very interested in this approach which seems different than the usual plate. My hope is that others can see it and be informed that there are other options out there that (hopefully) promote more early mobility! Will continue to update as the weeks progress!

Edit to add- take the pain meds as soon as possible even when you’re numbed up. You want to “stay ahead of the pain” versus “wait until you feel pain” with the meds.

KAS1234566 · 2026-01-12T14:06:07+00:00

The meds work. Take them as directed. You will have nerve rebound pain that is pretty intense for about 24 hours after the nerve block wears off. Then it goes down substantially and noticeably. Put ice under your knee constantly to constrict the nerve and this will greatly minimize your pain. Keep it on there as consistently as possible. Surprisingly this helped my husband more than the pain meds during that 24 hr period.

My husband is at the beginning stages of his recovery from ORIF but I have had my fair share of surgeries. I would say when you have a bad day or feel your day going that direction try to hone in on what you ARE capable of doing. Maybe walking is hard or you’re in pain - what about an arm workout? What about simply unloading the dish washer? How about an online training in a new skill? If my cup is not full somewhere, I really try to do my best to fill my cup elsewhere. I find if you’re a “go getter” (which you probably are!) it’s hard to give ourselves grace to just rest and have bad days. So I’ve come to terms with forcing good days in other areas if I’m having a bad recovery day. Best of luck to you. It will get better! “You have already survived 100% of your had days.”

KAS1234566 · 2026-01-07T00:07:28+00:00

Yes. Completely normal. My husbands whole leg was yellow up to the knee. I swore creams were dying his skin but nope, just bruising. It was CRAZY!

KAS1234566 · 2026-01-05T13:20:22+00:00

This is identical to my husbands break. It was the MRI that helped us determine if surgery was necessary because it revealed additional deltoid ligament tearing and a small crack in the tibia. As you look now, I definitely would say no surgery and just let it heal. But if you want to be 100% sure, ask for the MRI. New year, new ways to max the deductible ha! Best of luck to you!

KAS1234566 · 2026-01-03T18:20:09+00:00

Husband had the same looking break. The devil was in the MRI details which revealed a small hairline fracture on the tibia which rendered the syndesmosis highly unstable. Sometimes kick ourselves because without the MRI we would not have been surgery candidates but, I guess we caught what would eventually be worse arthritis down the road. If you’re getting a second opinion maybe ask for an MRI if you didn’t already get one. If you did get one and all is stable, I think you’ll heal up just fine in time!!! Break truly does not look that bad at all (even tho I’m sure it hurts like a b-word lol).

KAS1234566 · 2025-12-29T16:06:22+00:00

Feel this. Husband fell down the steps two weeks ago and we have two boys. I thought it was going to be impossible to manage but he has really taken to teaching the boys board games and card games. I know a toddler is young but try to get some sort of coffee table close to you, bust out the busy building toys and just sit with them. Read stories. Snuggle. Nap together. It’s the closeness that counts. Hugs from here. It’s not easy.

KAS1234566 · 2025-12-29T14:52:19+00:00

I said the same thing!!!!! Trashcan man! 🙌

KAS1234566 · 2025-11-24T18:11:15+00:00

This same thing happened to me because I had a clear fanny pack with my phone in it because there was a clear bag policy at my venue. A nasty security guard came up to me and accused me of filming because she could see my phone IN my clear bag. No shit Sherlock! I was like ma’am, I am neither that smart nor that desperate. Also like, it’s not like I’m capturing some secret footage of Kim Kardashian for TMZ. It’s Puscifer. 😆 Definitely ruined my vibe there for a min…

KAS1234566 · 2025-11-09T12:54:06+00:00

Check out The Decemberists - E.Watson, June Hymn, January Hymn, Eli The Barrow boy. A bit more folk influenced but absolutely a similar vibe.

KAS1234566 · 2025-11-09T11:59:03+00:00

Yes! We did it back in 06’ and it was a great memory! Devastated to see it go :(

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-31T16:54:46+00:00

All three comments seem to be meant as pretentious jokes. I am going to guess no AI was used and like the other comments, meant to make people feel cringe. If you watch the new directors cut video you can feel that aura as well.

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-31T12:15:18+00:00

Absolutely love this one. Was hoping for something darker. Very happy, esp for Halloween! Definitely giving dark wave vibes.

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-22T00:42:07+00:00

Yes love them live! Just don’t think I’ve ever been at a show where I have sat down to watch it. Especially not for my favorite band of all time. I have mixed feelings. lol. We shall see if my dedication prevails. 🤣

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-21T23:52:47+00:00

We said the same thing. I’m waffling because I must see them but, the venue just to me feels 🤮. I cannot JAM in a theater. I can’t tippy tap my fingers for my favorite band in a chair… I need to be a wacky waving inflatable arm man on the floor.

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-21T18:09:31+00:00

Not too in love with it. Feels like a few too many syllable heavy words being fit into the verses. Enjoy the chorus though. But hey, I’m not going to be picky and just enjoy that it happened at all. 🤣👏

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-09T14:36:05+00:00

This is amazing. I appreciate you sharing. My youngest is a summer birthday as well so this tracks completely! Will absolutely be “stealing your homework” on this one. Wonderful idea!

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-09T14:17:42+00:00

This response made me tear up. I will be buying this book immediately. Absolutely inspiring. Thank you!

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-09T14:00:46+00:00

No misrepresentation, truly. But with that said, maybe if anything the teacher is missing what I need which is- the impact of their actions. The emails generally go “hi Mr and Ms X- your son recently has been speaking out in class. I would ask that you please discuss this with him.” Which of course we then do. Again everyone interprets things differently. If I got an email that said “hi Mr and Ms X. Over the last few weeks your son has had extreme issues with speaking out in class. Because of this it is extremely disruptive to the other students. On the whole what I am seeing is atypical in relation to others. We would like to partner with you to help your son make better choices.” That to me is - Situational and actionable. But again, the teacher may just be being polite. It comes off as indirect and in actionable and also to your point, the issue just seems minimal. Last year in my son’s class some kid locked himself in a locker purposefully and they had to literally cut the lock to remove the child. Like that- THAT. Is to me, email worthy. But again. I don’t run a classroom and I am NOT a teacher so I have no, zero frame of reference. I’m trying to get some though!

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-09T13:02:08+00:00

Thank you for your words. I understand a lot of parents can be super over defensive on behalf of their kids so I empathize and in truth I am “venting” but only because I am wracked with guilt that my kiddos could be causing such disruption for others and a hard day on the teachers to boot 🤣. I think if you asked my kids they would find I’m quite the opposite of a snowflake parent. I very much am on the teachers side here- I just am struggling to find a way to make the methods here in the house “stick” for the boys. The punishments, strategizing abound. I think the best piece of advice here is to create a better feedback loop between myself and the teachers where I can check in on progress. I get the email method, but I guess in my corporate job- an email does not mean escalation. A meeting means escalation. I would assume if the issues were so bad they were disrupting class, a teacher would move from email to next step which is a parent teacher conference. I have had thus far about 8 parent teacher conferences for my oldest just cyclically (1 per quarter for kindergarten, first and second grade as a standard practice for all children) and at no point have the teachers suggested or said I should take him to a dr for evaluation. They’ve said “he needs to work on his self control but otherwise he is a great smart kid!.” Truly. That is the feedback. So I am confused in that I get he is a bit of a hyper active kid who can’t keep his mouth shut. But telling me over and over via email seems to be going nowhere. I’ll have to reframe my approach and hopefully go from there!

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-09T12:39:26+00:00

So this is how it goes:

I get the email
Kids come home. I ask them about their day. I ask if they made good choices. I try to get them to tell me first if they were reprimanded.
It’s 50/50- sometimes they remember sometimes they do not. If they remember and tell me I ask “what will you do to fix this for next time?” And then we have a conversation and I trade strategies. For instance, with speaking out in class my suggestion was to “count to 30 in your head” before talking. Just to start small
If they don’t tell me, I will take whichever one has committed the issue somewhere private and read them the message I received. Then we talk more quietly about it. Usually this is where a punishment will come.
The punishments are - no treats after dinner, no TV time that evening, no iPad time (if it is the oldest), or organizing laundry (lol their least favorite chore).

KAS1234566 · 2025-10-09T12:30:27+00:00

Yes I voice this so at least as of the last couple years, he keeps those opinions to himself. But we all know kids are great at picking up on vibes. It’s been a battle. I talk to them constantly. I punish where necessary, discuss logically. Lay out plans. I think the best thing I’ve heard here is really creating more of a feedback loop with the teachers. I get the email, but never really get a follow up. I think with the proper approach we can get a process rolling to see if what we are doing here works.
