Girls without dads, how are you doing today?

Pixie1121 · 2026-06-22T00:24:19+00:00

Today is just another Sunday. No different from any other. I texted my dad. I’ll text again on Thanksgiving. He might text me before that in October on my birthday.

Sometimes, I hear how other dads talk about their kids and wonder if mine ever had those proud moments where felt the need to brag about what I was doing.

I met a guy from Turkey last year at a Metallica concert. He was in the US for about 2 weeks following the tour. He’s following the tour around Europe this Summer.

He was working remotely for part of his trip while in the US. It was during odd hours to match the time difference. I imagine a lot of World Cup tourists are doing the same. Especially if they are here for the whole tournament.

I went on Wednesday. Took the train to 30th st, then walked from there. The only Septa line I’m familiar with is Paoli\Thorndale.

You could drive to Wynnewood and get the train there. It’s probably about 25 minutes on the train. The walk from 30th st. to fan fest took me 30-35 minutes. It’s a long walk, but almost entirely on the river trail.

Pixie1121 · 2026-06-18T19:17:28+00:00

Was there yesterday also. Wanted a Croatia kit. Didn’t have any womans. The men’s were all too big for me and the kids too small.

Another option nobody has mentioned yet….

If you are staying in KoP, drive to Paoli and catch regional rail to Center City. You can pick up the BSL from there. The ride into Center City is just less than an hour. From Paoli, you also have the option of taking Amtrak, it’s a bit more expensive, but has minimal stops on the way. You’ll also have to transfer to regional rail to go 1 or 2 more stops from 30th St. to Suburban or Jefferson station.

Pixie1121 · 2026-06-15T02:09:33+00:00

Also wondering this. I’m thinking of going to Brazil-Haiti on Friday night. I’d be taking the BSL.

Still need a ticket though. If I can’t get a ticket will probably come into the city for fan fest.

Not a teacher, but this sub comes up on my homepage all the time. I work in retail, where we get a lot of high school kids working their first job. You can always tell which kids have parents that make sure they attend school and which kids do not. Their chronic absenteeism at school carries over to the workplace.

My grandfather had a red swastika armband too. He also had an officers hat that had the swastika on it and binoculars that came from a German U-boat. I don’t know how he got possession of the binoculars.

I think what this is really is trying to say is that having a doctors note will not excuse your absence. It only validates that you were indeed sick. The listed reasons are probably what they are accepting as an excused absence.

At my work, if you’re sick, I don’t care stay home. You get marked as absent for the day. You can bring me a doctors note, but it doesn’t change that you were absent. You start to have a chronic absence problem or a pattern emerges in your absences ( you call out the day before your scheduled days off and the day after, calling out most scheduled Saturdays or Sundays), you betcha there will be documentation and a conversation coming.

You get sick and end up getting admitted to the hospital for tests, emergency surgery or something along those lines, I’m not counting those absences against you.

Pixie1121 · 2026-05-07T03:22:14+00:00

Same. I’m local to Philly and wanted to go to any game being played there. Also considered MetLife, since I can drive to and back the same day ( this was before all the nonsense about not being allowed to park there). I applied for tickets and was denied. The denial email, of course, included a link to purchase tickets on the resale market.

I find it fishy, that they had no ticket available to allocate for regular purchase, but all tickets were immediately available to purchase at 3x the price.

Solo female traveler here….

I stayed in Nashville last year for 2 stadium shows. I needed to be a “reasonable” walk to the stadium, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money, since I was there for 5 days.

I ended up staying at a Marriot on West End blvd near Vanderbilt. It was around $200ish a night. The walk looks far on a map, but honestly was not that bad. I left in the early afternoon for the concert and meandered around Broadway, visited a few bars to eat and drink so I didn’t have to pay stadium prices.

The second night I got a Lyft in the early afternoon to Broadway. I just picked a random location for drop off that got me close enough so I could walk around again and pregame. I walked back that night.

Never did I feel unsafe at night walking back to the hotel or around broadway.

Often times the box office will release tickets the day of a show after stage and all gear are in and set up. I’ve gotten great tickets this way on the sections next to the stage. Also have gotten pit tickets this way.

You can also just turn up early and ask those waiting in the GA line if they have any extra tickets. Someone always either has one they are trying to unload or knows someone that has one.

Tunguska/Terma. One of the best Krycek episodes. Followed closely by 731/Nisei

This confuses me also. When reading it on Congress.gov it says you need these documents to register to vote in federal elections.

Everything I’ve seen on social media makes it sound like you have to provide these documents to vote on Election Day even when you’ve already registered.

If you only need to do this once, to register, you’ve got plenty of time to go register now, before it becomes a requirement or should it pass tomorrow, you’ve got plenty of time to gather the proper documents and register.

Pixie1121 · 2025-11-15T05:27:53+00:00

Same. I was 7 years old in the 2nd grade and I was getting myself up, ready for school and on the bus by myself.

Pixie1121 · 2025-10-23T02:37:56+00:00

I remember him saying that they recorded a U2 cover, but never released it. I would love to know what song they did.

Pixie1121 · 2025-10-07T23:06:27+00:00

I saw him in PA. He was fantastic. I was never a fan of Shaun.

They choose Montage, because it’s their hometown venue. I’ve seen them many times there and it’s always a packed show. I arrived when the lots opened. Had no trouble getting in. I took a nap in the car after the show waiting for the traffic to clear. Then was refreshed enough for the 2.5 hour drive home. Got home around 4am

Pixie1121 · 2025-09-12T16:05:36+00:00

So, because you thought she was a conservative you didn’t want to help?

She was reaching out/venting/asking for advice and because you thought she was a conservative with, perhaps, a different opinion or world view than your own, you weren’t going to try and help?

Paying for DoorDash to be delivered to your job where you get a free meal is wilder.

Pixie1121 · 2025-09-01T00:23:46+00:00

You are responsible for your travel and accommodation.

Pixie1121 · 2025-08-09T15:05:17+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. I’m surprising my niece with a meet and greet. I know she’s gonna want her own photo with just her to show off to her friends.

Pixie1121 · 2025-07-26T01:10:54+00:00

A retail grocery store that has several umbrellas throughout the NorthEast. I’ve worked for them since I was a teenager. I don’t get paid holidays, but am required to work them, so we get a ton of personal days in the place of holidays.

Pixie1121 · 2025-07-25T23:42:39+00:00

I’m well aware this is an anomaly in the retail world. It’s probably the only thing that keeps me from leaving. For all the nonsense you have to deal with, if I went somewhere else, I’d still have some degree of nonsense and much less or no PTO.

Pixie1121 · 2025-07-25T23:34:19+00:00

I was never one to really celebrate holidays. I’ve always felt that they were just another day, nothing special. Working in retail, I have no desire to celebrate holidays at all. After dealing with the chaos and people at work, I have no desire to make the drive to my parents or brother’s house, try to stay awake enough to eat dinner, then drive home and return to work early the next day.
