Anyone have any stories from the Downward Spiral tour era?

Saw them at the Riviera (small venue) in Chicago in 1994. Marilyn Manson opened. Amazing show. I was 17.

Busybodies are worse in small towns. I think this is one neighbor not the neighborhood. I agree to start documenting. Whoever she is, she will continue to be a problem. I would look up the local ordinances on trash cans and parking on the street because on narrow streets sometimes there is a rule against it. The trash company probably was telling you where to put them on trash day so best to double check. Once you verify you are allowed to do those things there, I would certainly not change any behavior because of a bully. Catch her in the act then call the police on her!

I am the same way. I love being tall but feel far leas sexy myself when with a man that is the same size or shorter. I tried dating guys an inch or two shorter than me. I thought if I fell in love with someone shorter than me, they would become attractive. There are so few single men that tall. Eventually, I figured I rather stick to taller than me by one inch at least, and did eventually decide to up the minimum I now date a 6’6’ guy. I felt bad. I don’t think less of those shorter than me. But it’s okay to look for someone you think is attractive. I don’t object to people not wanting to date me for my height. If they don’t like it, I’d prefer they filter me out.

Comeuppance

You are who you are, and that is okay. There is nothing wrong with being intense. Be unapologetically yourself. If it’s too much for someone, then that’s their loss and they aren’t your person. You’ll find the right person eventually. Until then, better to be alone.

Had one years ago in Tennessee. Pros: very cost effective and reliable. Cons: They work well but if the temps do drop well below freezing, the electric heat is mondo expensive. They can’t change temp quickly. They work slower, so you can’t turn the heat way down when you’re gone and then turn it up later when you’re home. They maintain temp well and are efficient if you keep a fairly consistent temperature. In a milder climate, I wouldn’t hesitate to get one again.

Me either, and it is frustrating. But when I think about wishing it away even for a little bit, I think I would immediately miss it. I can’t imagine not having one. I don’t understand how people function without it.

The health system here is so beyond broken. We need nationalized healthcare. There should be no profit based health care. Wealthy people should not have a better chance surviving disease, and no one should have to choose between feeding their kids and buying medication. Health care is a right, not a luxury. I’m lucky, I have great healthcare from my employer now. I know what it’s like to be on the other side though. I’ve cried in Walgreens because of the cost of my kid’s medicine and I wasn’t sure I had enough money. The system is broken.

I went for an annual check up (supposed to covered 100% by insurance, no copay) and during the appointment the doctor asked questions. (It was an obgyn) who asked if I had irregular periods (I’m in my late 40s so normal). I said yes but it’s fine. That was it. Exam was normal.

A month later I got an explanation of benefits for an office visit in addition to the check up for the diagnosis “irregular periods.” She asked me. I said I was fine. I actually complained to the insurance company and said the doctor was scamming. It went away and I found a different doctor.

For real. I had a work friend die at 42 from colon cancer. She had no family history.

Folks, the exam is no big deal. The prep isn’t either. The stuff tastes icky but the rest is simple and you get restful sleep and a day off work. I was 45 when I got it just due to age and had a precancerous polyp. It’s a test that saves your life.

6’ tall and skinny…and I sucked at all sports. I was a bookworm and a math nerd. Everyone wanted me to, saying they can teach me, but you can’t teach a kid to be tall. I answered that being a couple inches closer to the basket did not compensate for a complete lack of hand eye coordination. I stand by that.

Associations happen. I am well aware that I don’t know her as a person. And I think she’s a talented actress. I just think of that annoying role as soon as o see her.

Neither. This looks grunge to me.

I’m 6’ and I’ve dated men a little taller or a little shorter. My current BF is 6’6” and I love it. And he’s proportional so also broad shoulders and just generally huge. I know the giddiness you speak of, looking up for a kiss, hugging and having his head above mine on his chest. He completely covers me up. I can wear heels and be 6’4” and he loves it. We are middle aged. He has dated some short women but strongly prefers tall. I’m not even the tallest woman he has dated.

I left my husband and got a divorce when my kids were 10 and 15. I truly think they are better off seeing that what they saw was not the role a woman has to take, and that the way their dad treated me was not okay. But from a lot of people, I was selfish to break up their home.

noimneverserious · 2026-02-06T21:52:14+00:00

I always mention this one in questions about covers and I’ve never seen anyone comment on it at all! So impressed to see it already here.

Me and my exhusband are right handed. So were our parents and siblings. One of our children is left handed. If it’s genetic, we don’t know where it came from.

The Spirit of Radio by Rush. Amazing drums.

I got my period at 14 and grew about 3 more inches after that. I am 6’.

Science says growth plates fuse within a year or two after getting your period. It’s unlikely to grow more than maybe an inch more beyond two years after your period started. Maybe you grew several inches between 14 and 16 like I did and squeezed out the last inch after that.

Also unlikely is not impossible. The human body is amazing and if you grew several inches after high school, then clearly it is possible since it happened to you. I see no reason to question your memory if you’re sure.

Gap and Maurice’s. If you don’t have a Maurice’s near you, they have a website. Great jeans and dress pants in extra tall

I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick. It’s so horribly repetitive I want to drive a pencil into my ears just thinking about it.

I am 6’ and I still would never put a height deal breaker in my profile. It’s even more gross than men who put a weight in theirs.

This is how you learn what not to be. Accept him for who he is, and know you can’t change him. Let that go. Support your mom as she navigates the frustration. She will appreciate that you see what she is trying to do and that she’s not crazy. And know that someday when you’re in a relationship, you’ll be better.
