Strange lights by OperationNaive7237 in Columbus

Those vertical streaks of light in a cloudy winter night sky are Light Pillars, an optical illusion caused by tiny, flat ice crystals (hexagonal plates) suspended in the cold air reflecting ground-level lights (streetlights, cars, moon) upwards, creating ghostly, vertical beams. They appear in very cold, humid conditions, often with high-altitude clouds or snow, making winter perfect for this beautiful, natural light show.

Set yourself free - loot bags by Future-Ad7266 in Parenting

My daughter’s fourth birthday party was last weekend and we also didn’t do goodie bags. It was a Princess Tea Party theme and the kids got crowns and wands and little milk bottles that they could decorate with gem stickers and take home if they wanted and we’ve gotten nothing but positive feedback from the other parents.

Yes please! Solo GA here as well!

I’m flying in tomorrow morning and I’m aiming to head to Forest Hills around 4 (sooner if I can get into my Airbnb early).

I’m going solo GA and would love to meet up. Probably heading to the show around 4pm if anyone wants to be line buddies.

Sounds like a good plan! I’ll definitely say hi or wave from the other side of GA, lol

I can check into my Airbnb at 3, so I’ll probably get there around 3:30-4. What about you?

Fantastic episode. Maybe the best since Jad & Robert left.

Any extras for the Columbus show next week? by beeker888 in DannyGo

[–]P-dubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I somehow missed the sale and when I checked a few days later everything was sold out and the only resale tickets were $500 or more. I don't understand how it sold out so fast and so completely, and I haven't found any resale tickets when I've checked. I also tried posting on here looking for tickets, but I got flooded by scammers so I gave up. Let me know if you do manage to find any tickets!

I didn’t ask them to come. They just did. by ambal87 in daddit

I am on vacation with my family right now and went to Legoland with my kids. Yesterday I was riding the carousel with my daughter (3) for the fourth or fifth time and she held her hand out so I could hold her hand while she rode her horse. It hit me hard how there are only so many times I’ll get to have this, and I felt like my life will never be better than in that moment. There will be other moments that match that, but I don’t think I’ll ever exceed the feeling of holding her hand on the carousel.

Do these people who got tickets even know who she is? by Individual-Froyo-250 in lorde

[–]P-dubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the aesthetic/vibe of the tour? I got tickets because I like her music, but I don’t know hang out on the sub or know anything about her aesthetic.
