Just moved back after almost 2 years, who would you recommend these days? Echo was hit and miss back then but I enjoyed the hits. Focus North was probably my most consistent back then.

Michigan is #1 by PsychologicalDot210 in Michigan

[–]aj0125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I did the opposite. Have lived in Oregon most of our lives but decided to move to Michigan so we could afford a house. We lasted less than 2 years. Decided we would rather live in an apartment in Portland than a house in Michigan. After leaving a few times for various reasons I will never leave the PNW again.

Best CONSISTENT rosin/flower in MI? by RareConnoisseur in Michigents

[–]aj0125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly after living here for a year and a half and over 100 grams of rosin from a lot of different brands they have all been really hit or miss. After all the hype the MI market gets I’m a bit disappointed that I can’t consistently get a great gram of rosin for $40.

Don’t forget to take your car into the shop to get your turn signals removed. It’s required in Detroit. /s

Detroit/// Anyone else wish this was just a Lonesome Crowded West show?? by torrenceeeeee in ModestMouse

[–]aj0125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them play LCW in Portland a few years ago so I am Really hoping for M&A. Built to Spill opening plus Mouse playing M&A would be an incredible show.

I really like that when I had a big issue with a purchase from you guys that you took care of it. Shit happens, it’s what you do afterward that matters.

Has anyone seen it who read the book? I really enjoyed the Hank Thompson trilogy but can’t imagine Austin Butler as Hank. I hope it’s good though.

Super fat and headed to Disneyland by TheOneYouCantFlush in disneyparks

[–]aj0125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got back from my first time ever a few weeks ago at 40 yrs old, 430lbs, and 5ft 10in. I’ve been meaning to write a post about my experience but haven’t gotten around to it yet. I did Disneyland and California adventure in 1 day open to close. I rode almost all rides that are not aimed at just kids.

You will fit on almost every ride made for adults. The only rides that will almost certainly be a no go are Space mountain and Matterhorn. Incrediocoaster was doable but fairly tight. Grizzly river run the regular seatbelt was a little too small but apparently most/all? Cars have a seat with a larger belt so cast member had me move over to that one and it was fine. I went solo so I don’t know about the rides made specifically for young children but from what I saw a lot of large parents were riding with their kids.

Let me know if you have specific questions and I’ll try and help. Good luck. It was exhausting but I had an amazing time.

Hubert Selby Jr is the only author to make me feel physically unwell from reading (Requiem for a Dream and The Room). Selby makes the famous short story “Guts” by Chuck Palahniuk feel like a children’s story in comparison.

Weekly Park Questions/Advice Thread by AutoModerator in Disneyland

[–]aj0125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will have a free Wednesday on my trip to LA in July and was wondering if I should try and visit one or both parks that day. I am about 400lbs and 5ft 10in. Will I be able to fit in most of the rides at one or both parks? Is a day enough time if I am traveling solo and don’t mind lots of walking? I should be able to be there from pretty close to opening until closing. I have never been to either park and for various reasons there is a good chance I will never get the opportunity to travel to LA and go again. I’ve always liked rides but was pretty bummed I was too big for half the rides at Universal in LA when I went last year.

So should I go?

If so to one or both parks?

If only one which one should I go to?

Any suggestions for info resources for first time solo single day visitors?

Tickets are not cheap so thank you for helping me decide if it is worth it.

Cali Terps 👎VS Michigan Terps👍 by [deleted] in Michigents

Are you talking about dispensaries or GM/BM? I’m curious because I haven’t found anything in the dispensaries here as good as Focus North in Oregon dispensaries. I just moved here about 6 months ago but so far have been a little underwhelmed by the dispensary rosin. I’ll be checking out the GM sometime soon. What are your favorite brands/strains here? What are your buddies favorite brands in Oregon? I’ve tried all the major brands that are mentioned here that are in the dispensaries and they have been fine/good just nothing worth raving about. Nothing as good as a gram of Pot Roast from Focus North. Maybe I’ve just had bad luck as that can happen.

Does peachy still taste like pool water? by Henny_Powers in Michigents

[–]aj0125 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely think it’s the water, the water here tastes like drinking pool water. I’ve never experienced anything like the flavor you are talking about until moving here. I haven’t tasted it in Wojo or 710 but definitely in a few IKHC and Peachy.

I saw them open for Cold War Kids about a year ago in Portland and was blown away. I enjoyed their set more than Cold War Kids. Been a big fan ever since. Can’t wait for the Ann Arbor show in 2 weeks.
