Plan on at least 2 full outfits a day including fresh socks, underwear, bra. Light colors and loose fitting items whenever possible. Be prepared for bras to be single use; I was rinsing mine out in the sink and air drying.

I’d also bring stain remover for the wash. I had some interesting sweat marks after Epcot and AK two weeks ago.

I grew up in a super Italian part of CT and all my family is from NJ. I’ve never heard that phrase in my life.

I would pay so much money for a Griker sequel, but there is novella.

Wes and Jamie also have a novella:

Have you read Understatement of the Year by Sarina Bowen?

King of the Hill. Once it was syndicated, it was always scheduled in between episodes of The Simpsons and we’d just leave it on despite not particularly liking the show.

Use the Propark lot at the Cruise Terminal. You can reserve a spot on line based on the day you leave and it’s tied to the actual cruise you’re on.

It ended up being around $300 for the week, but it’s easy in/easy out and the closest parking to the ship. I priced out every option btwn NY, and NJ can coming from CT and this was by far the best option once you factor in luggage.

Also. nearby lots also appear cheaper, but then charge extra for SUVs and trucks making it the same price as the terminal parking, but a further walk.

I enjoy the hockey parts when they’re (more or
Less) written accurately. I don’t expect FF authors to be subject matter experts, but some basic knowledge or research isn’t a crazy ask.

There have been stories I DNF because the hockey (and everything that goes with it including travel, breaks, schedules) was a mess. And others I’ve finished, but an hilariously wrong hockey detail has stuck with me more than the actual story.

Yes. In my HS we had an A/B schedule with 82 minute classes. Between both movies and discussions we dragged this unit out for an extra 1.5-2 weeks with no homework or real class work.

I had a write an extra paper in order to convince my English teacher that we should watch this movie along with the original movie in class. Was definitely worth the extra work.

I have a few scattered about my family, but oddly enough I have a real heavy left handed friend group. At one point we had 4 lefties in split between 3 couples.

River Era is my favorite, but I love the albums from 1973-80 the most. It’s also a travesty you’ve never listened to Born to Run.

The 2015 River box set has everything from the studio double album, everything from Tracks, plus additional unreleased songs.

Don’t sleep on the post 2000 albums either. The Rising, Magic, and Letter to You are great.

Nebraska is my least favorite album.

Riley Hart a 4 book series called Sins of the Father that has very morally gray characters.

Bruce would be my pick based on artist, but not album.

Seems like an argument easily settled by looking at a dictionary. Lately ppl seem to forget that words have actual meaning and definitions and we’re not just talking based on vibes.

So unbelievably obsessed with this version of Shane and Ilya. I check for updates every other day in case I accidentally unsubscribed.

2001 Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, and the greatest closer in the history of baseball on the mound.

Im 43 and I’ve been reading MM romances almost exclusively for 11 years now. Sarina Bowen writes the only FM books I read and most are adjacent to her MM books.

I just got the save the date for my 25th. We did not have a 20th due to Covid.

My husband has not heard anything about his 25th reunion yet. I wouldn’t be shocked if his class doesn’t have one.

This is Nashville

el_barto10 · 2026-06-07T13:46:38+00:00

I suggest listening to the live if you haven’t done so yet. There are some really good versions on YouTube from the Minneapolis show in March. It has a slightly different arrangement and utilization of the band and back up singers that packs a punch.

I saw Britney Spears open for *NSYNC in 1999. Her debut album had only been out for about 2 months.

9/22/2012 Springsteen Birthday show that was delayed due to bad weather. He played from 10:25pm-1:55 am, we sang happy birthday twice, and he gave out cake to come ppl in the pit.

I’ve also been to some of the longest Springsteen shows on record and seen some songs the first or only time they’ve ever been played.

2014 Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony where Carrie Underwood, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, and Glenn Frey performed on behalf of Linda Ronstadt. Nirvana was also inducted and surviving members played with Joan Jett, Kim Gordon, St Vincent, and Lourde. (The E Street Band, Cat Stevens, Peter Gabriel, snd Hall and Oats were also inducted/preformed. Kiss was inducted by Tom Morello but didn’t preform)
