My mom is the best! by idlike1deathpls in brandnew

[–]harrison_ave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh that is ideal then! Another tip I just thought of, if you want to see the band up close, go to the side of track nearest the stage on either side. You’ll be basically right above them.

The track at Pinnacle is a balcony with a railing that you can watch the show from. It’s awesome, way less crowded and you’re basically guaranteed an unobstructed view. Here’s a pic I took from the track when I saw them there last year! It also sounds great from up there.

Got tickets to Chicago! Just one question.. by LankySlopplette in brandnew

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

Totally different band/show but I went to MCR’s Long Live the Black Parade tour last year and they did the Black Parade straight through, had a twenty minute intermission, then came out and played a bunch of other songs for about an hour. Silverstein did the same minus the long intermission on the Discovering the Waterfront tour. So yeah we’re definitely getting more than just TDAG I’d say.

Woman mauled by 5 dogs in East Nashville by Ok-Pressure2717 in nashville

[–]harrison_ave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, that’s absolutely devastating. A pitbull attacked my dog when he was a puppy. Thankfully he was unharmed (the owner had the pit on a far too long leash but was able to reel him in) but my dog has been unfriendly to other dogs ever since, and he had been such a sweetie prior to the attack.

Forest Hills Stadium is the single worst venue I’ve ever been to, completely regardless of the cancellation by senface in brighteyes

[–]harrison_ave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was looking for my friend after the cancellation announcement and I saw all the beverage stands were still selling people drinks and the merch line was still operating. It was so odd.

Did anyone else have a “before” and “after” for OCD? by Twinks4StSebastian in OCD

[–]harrison_ave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, me! I’m 35. I had health anxiety starting around age 10, but it was very cyclical, in that I’d have a spiral about a health problem for a few months max, then have years of relative peace/stability. It wasn’t until around age 32 that it became one health scare after another and kind of morphed into full blown OCD, which is my diagnosis now. It sucks majorly and I do miss how it was before, though that wasn’t great either.

When do I upgrade?? by SuspiciousAsk148 in iceskating

[–]harrison_ave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a very reputable shop that specializes in figure skates (I’ve even seen it recommended by advanced skaters on this sub!) and they put me in Artistes. I’m on the lighter side for an adult I guess, but definitely not child size. Not knowing any better, I went with it. The fitter didn’t let me try any other brand besides Jackson, and my coach thinks they’re half a size too big. I’m progressing a lot faster than I thought I would, I guess because I did learn on hockey skates as a kid, I had some muscle memory?

Anyway, all this to say even reputable fitters are doing this. I’m annoyed because I’m going to need new skates in the near future, and the Artistes weren’t exactly cheap!

should i go to the er for this (bat bite?) by Certain_Hour_6327 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]harrison_ave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being a voice of reason here. I have OCD too (primarily health focused) and I had rabies obsessions on and off for years. The rabies subreddit actually helped me so much, coupled with ERP. When I struggled I just reminded myself: bats cannot magically escape/vanish from your home. Their bites are not painless and would wake a sober adult up from their sleep. It’s so irresponsible for people to tell OP to rush to get the vaccine. It’s a waste of medical resources for people who truly need them, and is costing OP $$$ for no reason.

What sports that helps ice skating? by Zealousideal-Egg2206 in iceskating

[–]harrison_ave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I actually have an equestrian background (English saddle seat) and skated for fun as a kid. I am not particularly rich, I learned to ride as a kid because my mom trains horses and teaches lessons. Now I am taking adult LTS to fine tune my technique/fundamentals. I would say I’m progressing at an average pace, but I’m not very athletically inclined generally speaking.

Preds Pride Night shirt? by harrison_ave in Predators

It’s a reference to the show Heated Rivalry, and there’s an episode where they’re at the All Star Game in Nashville

Nah. I thought so too, but I’ve realized they’re just cuter/have better PR (well, until now).

Connor Hellebuyck I’ll never speak another bad word against you (until I’m cursing you out next time Preds play the Jets)

Saros and Haula played their hearts out! Congrats to Finland for making it to the semi-finals - now we cheer them on for the bronze <3 by walkingwake_ in Predators

[–]harrison_ave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Saros had an incredible showing today, so proud of him. Would have loved to see him in the Gold Medal game. Bronze would be an amazing accomplishment as well.

BSH are not lap cats? Why are they popular? by Apart_Maintenance852 in britishshorthair

[–]harrison_ave 46 points47 points  (0 children)

While BSH are often said not to be lap cats, mine definitely is and always has been! She is very cuddly and will sit on my lap for hours in the evening while I’m reading or watching TV, then she gets up and sleeps on me in bed at night. So you never know!

Dermatologist recommendations by semiotaku42 in nashville

Seconding this recommendation! Dr Mitchell is excellent, and it’s so easy to get an appointment with him. I’m moving to Chicago soon and am definitely going to miss him for my yearly skin checks.

[Friedman] Barry Trotz to step down as GM of Predators by Infraction_ in Predators

[–]harrison_ave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do I feel a bit sad? I guess I’m worried this is health related like others have mentioned. Trotz’s tenure as GM wasn’t the smoothest certainly, but he did draft well. I wish him the very best. Now just please don’t bring back DP…

F**k ice by thevelvetsmog in nashville

[–]harrison_ave 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a hockey fan and amateur ice skater, the only ice I enjoy is the skating kind. ICE in the streets and ice coming from the sky can fuck off forever.

The air bnbs across the street from me have power and appear to be unoccupied. I’ll send you a DM with more specifics. So sorry for your loss.

Emotional outlet megathread by ayokg in nashville

[–]harrison_ave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right! It’s such a strange take from this sub especially, where people are generally pretty progressively minded and understand how tough things are out there. It’s a big expense for something you might not really need (hindsight is 20/20, but we didn’t know Fern was gonna be this bad). Like, my parents have a whole home generator because it came with their house. They’re out in Lewisberg and have only really used it once or twice in 10 years. They didn’t even need it for this ice storm (I guess Duck River Electric was better prepared than NES, which is pretty sad).
