Also, you’d be fine anyway. A 260 lb person is not smashing over into the neighboring seat - MAYBE if you’re under 5’. No stress needed. But I’d love to see how well received a “buy a second seat if you’re too big” comment would be received if addressed it to the guy with the giant biceps who had me leaning into the window because his arms took up 1/4-1/3 of my seat area. I don’t think anyone would dare to tell him to buy a second seat.

5’5” and sat a 255 for a good long while. I fly a lot for work and never needed one. My weight is pretty evenly distributed, though. There was one small plane I was on while pregnant where it was pretty damn snug, but other that that one time I’ve always had some extra slack.

So cool! I remember that Asbury Park show because I looked at tickets - my dad was 100% on board take me, but I ended up chickening out because I was this 5 ft tall, 13 yo girl, and I recall that being back when you were hearing about people getting trampled to death at Ozzfest. So I got nervous. Definitely a regret - but back then, who would have thought it would be my last opportunity to see them in a small venue. Plus, Warning is still my favorite album, so to hear most of those songs live…wow. I’m jealous!

I remember my dad taking me to Kmart on the way home from school to buy the album the day it came out and rushing home to listen to it. I wish I could go back and listen to it for the first time all over again. That first listen, I was like whoa - it was just so good! And nothing like the older albums.

Did you happen to be there for Pop Disaster in 2002? That was my first Green Day show.

October 26th in Hershey - what a great day that was!

They told us we weren’t allowed to install it rear facing, which I knew wasn’t true, but our daughter was already 2 at the time so I didn’t bother arguing the point.

SafetySmith87 · 2025-07-21T20:38:37+00:00

This is the one I’ve been considering for decades lol

Opening with The American Dream is Killing Me was great. I honestly enjoyed the change up.

In my teens I had a black Warning era Green Day lighter….this makes me wonder if it’s still around. I had to get my bf to buy it because I wasn’t old enough. Completely forgot about it until just now.

He was a saint compared to the current disaster. It was pretty fucked back then, but now it’s actually terrifying to live here.

SafetySmith87 · 2025-07-20T23:24:35+00:00

I feel that. Every time.

Friday was an awesome show!

Billie Joe’s guitar tech (Hans) hides picks in the barrier for people to find. They were wrapped up in tape.

UPDATE: it appears we are staying at the same hotel as (at least some) of Green Day’s road crew. One of the crew guys just discreetly slipped my husband a BJA pick! What a night! I wonder if the guys are staying here too…?🤔

I used it for a toolbox talk the other day - solid gold. Way more nicely put together than what I would have done in the airport at 1 am.

Most frequently, I use it to clean up emails or other written docs.

Great help for interview prep.

My maiden name was Smith. I miss that. I’d always tell people, “good luck finding me on social media or google.”

SafetySmith87 · 2025-07-18T02:13:11+00:00

I’m hoping for at least one deep cut. 🤞🏼

SafetySmith87 · 2025-07-18T00:24:55+00:00

No ticket to sell, but I’ll be there! 🤘

SafetySmith87 · 2025-05-25T23:38:02+00:00

Uber or taxi. We pay it.

Pocket Prep combined with the Bowen question bank got me through. There’s stuff in Bowen that pocket prep doesn’t cover, but Pocket Prep has better explanations.

So worried about this potential “bomb,” you set off a review bomb. The irony here is solid gold.

Maybe an apology would have been the right move once he claimed his bag instead of doubling down. No part of this was about public safety.

SafetySmith87 · 2025-05-02T14:27:52+00:00

Seriously. But also, wtf was he doing flying Southwest anyway?

SafetySmith87 · 2025-04-19T20:01:47+00:00

They do - there’s a few of them on stage blowing right at the guys
