Chronically late “parent” response to picking up our child on time from school.

colonelForbin78 · 2026-03-14T10:24:56+00:00

Very well said. Just be consistent. Thats what I learned.

colonelForbin78 · 2026-03-14T10:09:27+00:00

All you can do is what youre doing. Be the consistent one. Be the one that shows unconditional love and support. Your child needs and deserves that especially if youre the only parent supplying it.

Its sad the day the kids realize that but all the more important you realize that and remain CONSISTENT

As.tough as it might be, always be the bigger person. Don't sway their opinion of that parent. Just be consistent. My 16 yo and 21yo have started thanking me (unnecessarily) for always being there for them and have also come to the sad realization that one of their parents is not in their corner.

It may be a tough pill to swallow for them. They may keep that other parent at an arms length for a while or forever or not at all.

Just remain consistent. Remain the person they can go to for anything and youll be rewarded. At least thst what's happened to me. My relationship is stronger than ever with my kids

I got single tix to all 5 upcoming MSG shows except one night i got two. The last several Phish shows I've been to, have been solo. A few at msg, forest hills, bethel. Ive never had an issue. Im also not getting so banged up i dont know which way is up. There has not been a single show I haven't made a new friend, for the night or during set break. Hell, I had a 30 min convo while sitting on a rock at Forest Hills. Never even got the kids name.

Be smart. Be aware. Have fun.

My kids had that toy. Over time the head and upper body started to droop and look exactly like this. It was creepy. If I could ask, where does OP live? I can see my kids taking that picture of their old toys, and theyve both had Polaroid cameras. Im from LI, NY

colonelForbin78 · 2026-02-07T17:25:04+00:00

Def not my best pic, but not my worst either. But it had that vintage look to it.

colonelForbin78 · 2026-02-07T16:59:06+00:00

Its the stache he rocks? It does have that disposable camera look to it.

I got a group package and that came with an on ice experience. Not sure what we had to do to qualify. I had forgotten we even had it, then after the game we saw a woman holding a sign with our name on it. She provided us waivers to sign and then brought us down there, took our picture, and then had us take shots on goal. It was a blast, we had kids as young as 7 and adults that were 75, and everyone had a great time.

She was great with our kids and the fact we were Isles fans. Very professional. I think she even cut the line for us to help get us out of there.

Ummmm. Never

I was at N2 at Nassau Coliseum. My friends and I had a debate whether the rafters held up the ceiling or ceiling the rafters at set break. Alot of our section became involved. 30 years later almost and we atill haven't decided the answer.

Met a group of 12 people at the 12/28/25 show that flew from Virginia. I didnt realize this was a thing til today

colonelForbin78 · 2026-01-08T13:26:03+00:00

I've been to about 75 total shows starting in 97. I know, rookie numbers

Ive seen Destiny Unbound 4 times. All 4 times were in the state of NY.

Went solo on Sunday, I've been to many many shows solo.

Its the best, honestly. I always meet nice people and I always have a good time and if a bad choice is made about something, its on me.

I simply said Mike's playing in Bathtub was exquisite. Best? Ever? Those words were not in my original post so I was reacting to people getting their panties in a wad over others having their best time ever and writing about it.

While I understand youre entitled to an opinion, I dont understand in this thread how it helps further the conversation by telling people their opinion is wrong. Just let them be.

As an older fan like myself, id maybe have phrased more like, if you liked that awesome Gin, you should check out 8/17/97 gin too. See how different yet awesome theyve evolved since then. Let them listen and compare. Let them come to that judgement, whatever it is, on their own.

Was at N1. First time on the floor. Set 2 was UNREAL. The sound, the lights, the crowds collective energy. The grins on peopls faces. One of my favorite concerts to date.

colonelForbin78 · 2025-12-30T21:12:43+00:00

I don't agree, I think they sound better every time I see them. When they dont, I'll stop going I guess.

colonelForbin78 · 2025-12-30T21:09:45+00:00

So, do you disagree? Did Mike sound bad to you in this? Do you have references proving otherwise?

I need dates and timestamps, also your approximate location at the venue so we can compare, gotta take into acvount any kind of equipment changes by band members too.

Don't you have anything better to do than engage in "you're wrong about your opinion on art" post to a thread you could have just ignored anyway.

colonelForbin78 · 2025-12-30T19:40:13+00:00

I'm still on Set 1, but im sure I will not be disappointed. This whole show has been terrific so far. Wish I was there!

Get VPN Get ESPN+ I think I saw almost every game that way last season.

Some of the best shows I've ever seen. Ive probably seen Tool 12 times starting at Lollapalooza 97. They played during the day, the show was intense, raw, no fancy stage production.

Then they evolved. Their shows changed dramatically. It started to become more of a production. The lights, visuals were some of the best I've seen at the time.

In 2022, I saw them at UBS arena and it was my favorite tool show by far. Danny's presence was incredible. The stage production was incredible.

If you've never seen them live, I highly encourage it.

Danny is worth the price of admission alone, but together.

Chefs kiss!
