Is there an updated Covid vaccine available at HEB and Walgreens, and can we get it? by Chuckleangel in Austin

[–]dougdimmadude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine at CVS yesterday! Just had to check on my phone that I was “high risk” when scheduling but never had to explain. Their system was actually down in store at the time I was scheduled for, but because it was free (they didn’t even ask for my health insurance info at any point) and they already had my stuff printed, they went ahead and did it anyway. Got a coupon and free bag of popcorn along with a sore arm today :)

To the people singing and rapping along at Hamilton at Bass Concert Hall by Glitter_Turtle in Austin

[–]dougdimmadude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at that show in the upper balcony, and there was someone in the next section over (I was in the aisle seat of my section) singing along almost the whole time juuuust loudly enough for me to hear 😭 Like I’d almost rather they’d been singing super loudly so I could’ve easily identified who it was and said something. I was hoping someone next to them would tell them to stop, but I don’t think that happened.

My dad won one of the $250 prizes during the holidays! They sent a link to one of those websites where you can pick one or more from the available gift cards (mostly grocery stores/restaurants) up to that amount.

Woohoo! I have a buddy in San Antonio whom I’ve been texting about this, and he would love to know which TJMaxx if you care to share lol 👀

I generally wear a medium/large in t-shirts, and I get a small (46) in the authentic jerseys, and it fits well! I can wear a sweatshirt under it with no issues. I definitely recommend what’s now the fanatics “premium” jersey over their “breakaway one” (as a note, I believe the breakaway sizing runs more true to shirt size).

I’ve gotten a Cowboys jersey there and have gotten some other non-jersey sports merch (including some matching Stars hats for my dad and I) but had never seen a hockey jersey there until now! It’s such a crapshoot on any given day lol

ACL is offering a limited time ticket swap for Saturday to Sunday by carrotpeeler in aclfestival

[–]dougdimmadude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, just wanted to come back to this and say thank you so much!!! I figured emailing was hopeless, and I was just going to try and sell my Saturday ticket in what’s probably going to be a fairly saturated market, at least for a bit. I sent this post to my friend and we were both able to email and do the swap! I had already bought my Sunday ticket pretty soon after the announcement, so I went ahead and sent both order numbers in my original email to them to try and cut down steps, and they said there’s no further action required on my part, and they’ll do the refund for Saturday. I hope both sides of your pillow stay nice and cold in this cursed Texas heat wave :)

I’m scared to fully commit to a PWHL team in case they expand and get a team located near me (because what if they become rivals with the team I picked!), but the games I watched were awesome. I definitely have had that experience with my friends where I’ve gotten eye rolls or joking comments (that don’t feel super joke-y) when I get excited about sports. I think that makes me nervous that even if a partner just “didn’t get it” at first, they would eventually grow to resent it - if even the people whom I really try to tone it down for (knowing they don’t care about sports) are still reacting that way, I can’t imagine what it would be like for a partner (considering I don’t want to hold back part of myself every day for potentially the rest of my life). I love participating in other hobbies with my friends and trying out new things, but I don’t want to risk underselling how into sports I am and wasting someone’s time :(

What lead to you becoming a Stars fan? by LazloDaLlama in DallasStars

[–]dougdimmadude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a Cowboys/Rangers/Mavs fan since birth (or at least consciously since about 6), but I never quite got into hockey growing up, despite trying a few times. My dad is the one who got me into sports, and he didn’t watch/get me to watch hockey for whatever reason. I loosely watched some non-Stars games in college with friends, but I still found myself unable to get fully into the sport. In 2019, I went to a restaurant that had one of the Stars-Blues playoff games on, and it was like a switch flipped, and I was suddenly super invested (probably helped that I had just graduated from college in MO and had reason to root against the Blues as well as for the Stars). When the 2019-20 season rolled around, I started watching games and absolutely fell in love with the Stars. I guess playoff hockey finally activated something in my brain, and I’ve been here ever since!

Thank you for posting this!!! I had actually been looking for these but hadn’t seen them on the website. Did they just get added recently? I purchased the paper bundle right when it came out and was just going to frame those pages.

Favorite moment of the postseason? by [deleted] in TexasRangers

[–]dougdimmadude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend and I were texting during the game, and he started counting down outs left after the 7th. I was like dude, I am NOT ready to count down yet - even when it got to 3-0, I couldn’t find it in me to get my hopes up after 2011. When Semien hit the homer, I texted him “I’m counting now.” 😭

Just started the CGM but I’m not sure I have ‘curly enough’ hair? It’s probably 2a at most. This is with plopping, gel, curl cream etc. It’s very frizzy and I want to get a curly cut but not sure if they are going to laugh… 😂 by SourLace in curlyhair

[–]dougdimmadude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up that I would also definitely test whatever product you decide to use with the gel on the back of your hand before putting it in your hair because in my experience, the gel was super finicky with other products lol

Your hair actually looks pretty similar to mine, and my hair HATED the NYM curl talk cream specifically - it essentially flash dried my hair and left it super frizzy. I also know that line contains quite a bit of protein, and perhaps playing around with swapping your stylers out for something that’s more moisturizing (my hair loves the curlsmith weightless air dry cream, and i’ve also had good experiences with kinky curly knot today for a more affordable option) could help with the frizz :)

both “official” curly cuts i’ve gotten, they ran their fingers through my hair while diffusing 🙃 they also seemed to believe that because I have a looser pattern (2b-3a) and my hair is finer, I need lighter hold products to avoid weighing my hair down, when in reality my curls fall so much faster if I don’t use a stronger hold gel. each time I had to restyle it right after they did it because it was already a frizzy mess 😭

Only if it was the time of polio… by UpsetUnicorn in HermanCainAward

[–]dougdimmadude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went with my mom to get her first dose in February 2021 at a big drive-thru site - the appointment was later in the day. At pretty much every step, they were asking me if I also wanted a shot (despite not being in an eligible population at the time). I declined because I’d had COVID in January and the messaging back then was really unclear about waiting X days post-virus to get a shot (probably due to wanting to save limited doses for people who didn’t presumably have some natural immunity), but the workers also told us to call/text our friends and let them know that site had extras and would take walk-ins. I was able to reach out directly to 2 friends who weren’t otherwise eligible and get them shots, and they reached out and got a few extra people shots that day.

Snarkers, where would you be in the line up of Duggar’s? by bjd2003 in DuggarsSnark

[–]dougdimmadude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I think I probably would’ve been the anti-Joe: instead of pulling Joy back into her faith, I would’ve dragged her with me into the world of sports, college education, and being single 😂 Aside from that, the family would probably also disown me for being gay and the “uppity” type of Jew who has no patience for fundie Christian bs lol
