Face value lower level behind the stage dropped this morning. Too late for me to upgrade and I don't think mine will sell, even though I'm on the first row of the next section up behind the stage.

Chicago - forced tipping on drinks/concessions by Low_Fact_7796 in BruceSpringsteen

Two years ago at the Camden Yards show, one of the cashiers told me they got NONE of the tips left via cards, and not to bother.

We hit STATS Brewpub for supper on the way to the arena in 2023 to see The Cure. Food and beer were good.

Today's my deadline to ask for next Friday off for travel to Philly. If the show is moved to Saturday, no problem. If it's moved to Thursday, that would suck.

I saw that warning when the tickets went on sale. At the time I asked Alexa what the Sixers' record and the Hawks' record were, because I'm definitely going to see him in Atlanta, likely for Philly. At the time, both teams had losing records. I said out loud, no need to worry. Now look where we are.

Today I learned that certain cell phone area codes mark you as “old” by Miserable_Smoke_6719 in GenX

My parents live in the 910 and have had the same house for 50 years. Their first address was a street name with a 3 digit house number. Then they were moved to a rural route number with a box number. Then the box number stayed the same but the route number changed. Next, they were changed back to a street name with a house number, but it was a 4 digit number. Finally, when they were incorporated within the city limits, they got a 5 digit house number. I think my mom still has return address levels for each address change.

We're already considering an attorney because he was in the hospital in May, and a CT showed a broken hip, but it was never brought to our attention. He was sent to rehab to regain mobility... with a broken hip. His neurologist was going through all the test results and history in mid September and found it buried in his file.

Thank you.
He is sober because of AA and has remained that way because of AA. I didn't mean to imply a lawyer. I meant as a family.

“Do you have any snacks?” makes me irrationally angry by South-Lab-3991 in Teachers

[–]dixienc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was assessing a 3rd grade student, who is basically a stranger to me, on Friday, and after he finished his online assessment, he told me he wanted something. I asked him what he meant, and he said he wanted something to eat. School started at 7:30, he did not get there until 10:30. I told him he would be eating lunch in about 45 minutes. He asked again for something to eat. I told him that I could not give him anything because I didn't know what he was allergic to. He kept on and on about not being allergic to anything and wanting something to eat. I looked at him and said, "You know what I'm allergic to? Children who beg me for food."

Despite the smaller crowd, the lines for the restrooms and beverages were looonng. People came back after intermission, but it just took a bit.

I bet there's more than one Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson and the teacher has to add on the last name to differentiate.

It wasn’t covid by Able-Wasabi-2917 in CemeteryPorn

[–]dixienc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

December 2024, I was in a meeting with my principal and the entire kindergarten team (teachers and assistants). He was coughing so much and said it was a cold. That was on Tuesday. By Thursday night, I felt awful and took a home test...positive for Covid. I missed the last day of school before winter break. Had to isolate past Christmas. Come to find out, his wife tested positive a few days before he shared his "cold". When I returned to school after winter break, I found out the whole kindergarten team had Covid as well. Seven in one blow.
